Pinky
and The Brain...
This is a song I wrote over 10 years ago that's been dusted off and given a musical facelift. The vocalist is an old friend and we collaborated on this 3,000 miles apart (me in NY, Scott in California). I recorded the rhythm, then he went to town with some (strange) vocals. Once he called to say he was done I downloaded the project file from his PC and finished re-recording the rhythm tracks as well as adding bass, lead, and drums. He's already eager to start on the next one (but insists it be something "serious" this time).
Song is called Times Square Big Screen TV. The lyrics are included below. Other songs available on the website www.the-boogiemen.com . All homerecordings. All the time.
"Times Square Big Screen TV"
[Lyrics by Kevin Heckeler, spoken word by Scott Watts]
Message
as repetition
Heroes hooked on television
We find it
in their flesh
Disappointed with the rest
Nothing found
nothing returned
Products of ridicule and scorn
Faceless actors
pen names
Facing the blame won’t ease their pain
Rearranging the same’s the same
Changing the station is not a change
Modern martyr…
…chasing a
dressing room cause
Warriors…
facing the misguided
protest of applause
Nationland…
…witness to a
civilization’s fall
Faceless actors
pen names
Placing the blame won’t ease their pain
Rearranging the same’s the same
Changing the station is not a change
(if anyone wants to decifer the spoken word section for me it would be most appreciated lol)
