there is no bliss in ignorance by oldrottenhead ..... progfest anyone?

[Oldrottenhead]

a song about freewill versus determinism, nature versus nurture, rangers versus celtic, serious versus pretentious, peter hammill versus van der graaf generator, punk versus prog. you can blame bbc4  for their prog night. shrunk to fit.

there's a door to new horizons
but you need a key
some clues to penetrate
the depths of reason
imagine all you know
and all you've ever forgotten
throw it all away
there is no bliss in ignorance
just pressing buttons
to see what they do
not even caring
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
lost blind souls wandering
blind souls wandering lost
lost souls wandering blind
wandering blind souls lost
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
did you ever just open your eyes
and see .... reflect
imagine for a moment
another way another you
too wrapped up in your own thing
to even notice
that there's more to this
there is no bliss in ignorance
just pushing buttons
because they're there
not even thinking
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
lost blind souls wandering
blind souls wandering lost
lost souls wandering blind
wandering blind lost souls
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
there is no bliss in ignorance
a state of mind you're happy in
there is no bliss in ignorance
lost blind souls wandering
there is no bliss in ignorance
just pressing buttons
is what we do

there is no bliss in ignorance

banging on the keys of the juno and singing

Very different stuff from you, in positive way. Just admiring your versatility; one day acoustic uke songs, then different kind of brit pop etc...

Powerful music both on lyrics and music. Piano sounds cool! I think this is one of the longest songs from you.

This is deep ORH, real deep!  I love the piano and your voice which complement well each other. Good work!

[Rata-tat-tat]

A man of many hats you are... always brilliant... always pro... always all ways!!!

[Farrell Jackson]

Gorgeously proggy ORH! I like it and the idea of a progfest.....with a time limit of say under 5.
