"Orange Eye Green" a Hook original

[Hook]

So I woke up this morning to no internet or cable. While on the phone for over 2 hours with, actually, very nice helpful people, I wrote this tune & I recorded it tonight. The uke & vocal are live through the mbr mic, the cello & viola are thumbjam. The tune is me imagining a technological collapse/apocalypse, when in truth I just wanted to watch cartoons!
1- uke & vocal track

"Orange Eye Green"
written & performed by Hook

Left to fend for myself using my own devices
Have to adapt in the midst of a crisis
Cold tech turkey, access denied
Not sure if the good or the bad part died

         I won't rest until I see
         That orange eye green

A total collapse of an intricate web
Might need to borrow a gun from my neighbor Jeb
I feel isolated a bit stir crazy
The dude on the telephone, well he's worthless, completely lazy

           Chorus

I know this tragedy will somehow change me
Like a mirror right into my soul
The absence of access is taking its toll

Left to fend for myself using my own devices
Trying hard to gain dependency on a
                   List of brand new vices
Life wouldn't be life without some monkey
                        Somehow attached
I can't wait for biology & technology to be
 Connected with an app or a patch

                           chorus

I feel your pain, it's like losing an arm when the kit dies. But out of adversity comes a nice tune. Well thought out...........Willie
