Scarecrow in the hillock

This is a piece written for the Linux Musicians Uncompetition (http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10331).
The purpose of such un-competition is making some music with Linux tools, and then share it.
The premise for this edition was using a haiku structure in the lyrics. I use English for my songs but, not being my native language, I didn’t want to fool around with syllabic counts, so I chose a traditional haiku from the Japanese master Basho (1644-1694), which goes:
‘Scarecrow in the hillock
Paddy field
How unaware! How useful’.
It all started as an oriental fantasy, but California 90’s hardcore is part of my musical homeland, and I felt that a guitar solo would add some variety. Hope you enjoy it as listeners and it inspires you as musicians, if that’s the case :)

How marvelously psychedelic. I totally dig your groove. You paint with sounds some exciting images within my mind. I'm quite into musicians who can do this. ROCK ON!

Woah! Dig that intense shift a minute and a half or so into this when that *kick ass* guitar kicks in... wicked. And the bonus ending too... so what is your native language?
