Happy Sunday Alonetoner's.
I wrote this song yesterday as I had some recent events to ponder.... I hope you like it. Trying for a bit of a bluesy feel. If you'd like to download it and add some background blues bass or guitar, or harmonies…
This is a song about cynicism and propaganda.
Bombing Yugoslavia in 1999 has been justified by NATO and the mass media as a "humanitarian effort" to stop repression of the Albanians in Kosovo.
Written for/about Ben Montgomery. Answering machine messages wondering where he might be are from yours truly and Jason Biehler, his two closest friends who were always trying to track him down.
I agree with Einstein that we cannot 'will' anything, the concept is religious at best(gulp). But you can change your paradigm,
I am certain Einstein's paradigm changed with his theory of relativity, no? The song was intended for avid fans of political change re-examine their own role in the democratic process, you cannot vote for change in this system, just as you cannot 'will' change...
but you can change the way you see the world.
Sounds are 100% birds, bats, and squirrels.
Even that upstairs neighbor bangin' kick-
it's actually a bird call that I ran through a filter, pitched down and thrown into the
animal drum kit.
okay, I'm sold-- I am going to buy some chips!
I love the singing from the gut! "Uuughhii love chips!" Bubble bath is damn fine too! Going to take a bath with some chips...
This is a super strange track, love the rhythms,
strange son samples, and the pace of the changes. haha this track cracks me up too! The samples are so playful! awesome.

This is enjoyable as all heck to listen to. The definition of a glu track - laid back, melodic, good beat. All hail the umlauted sticky stuff!
i'm in love with this track. gotta love those remixed r+b's!
Oh yeah this is really good. Sign me up for more of this. Keep this coming.
This was always one of my glu favorites.
Trent Reznor and Prince had a baby and named it Glu.
DUDE! This is my new favorite glu Spanish protest track!!

This track is a triumph.
Power to the people!!

nice tune. good use of repetition and layering; it works very nicely.
nice song, calming, yet reminds me of how illegitimate violence can be considered legitimate when deployed by NATO et al.
"i'm not really paranoid..." hahaha! great tune!
hey! this track is smooth and stuttery in all the right ways!
yeah this is my favorite track of yours... I love it.
