Title: Tomorrow Today by Honker
Post by: Oldrottenhead on December 13, 2019, 05:18:02 AM
Just returned from a fabulous vacation in Buenos Aires. on the flight there i wrote some stream of thought lyrics on my ipad. heavily influenced by reading lots of Scottish sci fi writer Ken Macleod and listening to BBC6music A to Z of of psychedelia by Marc Riley. On my return home Kenneth emailed me two new tunes intended as christmas songs. This is using the first song so hopefully 2nd song will have a christmas theme. Anyway words fitted perfectly to my ears hope you like it.

It is what it is.

Feeling weightless
No depth nor effect
Insignificant
Test the water
Not even a ripple
Splashdown gravity
Catch me catch me
I'm falling
A microcosmonaut
Clutching at straws
Fittling forward
Lost in time
Past was passed
Future found
Tomorrow
Today
Another satellite
Sending signals
Meanwhile listening
Upload data
Deoxyribonuclear
Memory pearls
Plural so real
Pillow surreal
Forgotten coffees
Left somewhere
Bitter sweet reveries
Reflecting fragments
Hey you get aff Macleod
Jetstream mellotron
Strings unfinished
Bird nest effigies
Psychic positives
Unseen negatives
Tomorrow Today

Got home yesterday and voted. If democracy is still valid you can always move up here.

Glad you had a nice vacation. This is a very cool, ethereal track. Nice lyrics, I dig microcosmonaut.
Rock on!

Well Sir - this is a terrific lesson in absolute craftmanship!  Music writing like this is so rare these days!  Instrumentation absolutely captures the mind and sets up your story telling - not pushed, gently arrived at - I love it.

Thanks for the lesson.

Mike

Probably my favourite song from you two guys.
Piepod bound.
The picture of floating in space is in my head as I listen to it.
I guess we are all doing that at the moment, waiting for the big bang.
Outstanding gents,get it out there.

"Fittling forward" explanation.
Ken Macleod uses scottish twang /slang inhis Sci-Fi. So Fittling is scottish slang for Faster Than Light Travel.
