Story behind the song
Written as a message of support, it's a bit of an exploration of new sounds. Borrowing heavily from an obscure track by a well-known artist (no names, please), it features the PS5 'techno' pattern, transferred to the 788 and overlaid with a MIDI 'synth-string' keyboard sound. The solo is also via the MIDI keyboard, on the 'synth-brass' setting. It has a great retro sound that's helped by lots of reverb and heavy compression. Buy the CD!
Lyrics
Stuck for a moment caught between the gears Feel you're going nowhere you're listening to your fears Gotta take a moment, get another point of view Take a different tack, and see yourself anew Look around the corner (look around the bend!) And see where you're coming from Wait for the moment you hesitate to try Carpe diem, baby it might pass you by Follow on the beat, that's pounding in your head Be a different drummer, let them follow you instead Look into the mirror (look into your self!) And see who's staring back And the world at large thinks you're A-ok The world at large really thinks you're swell Tell several billion people they can go to hell? Who are you, to argue With the world at large Holes in your sock Holes in your soul Time for taking stock before it takes its toll Maybe what you see, is only in your mind Open up your eyes, there's no need to be so blind Look beyond yourself (peer beyond the haze!) And see who's really there And the world at large thinks you're A-ok The world at large really thinks you're swell Tell several billion people they can go to hell? Who are you, to argue With the world at large And the world at large thinks you're A-ok The world at large really thinks you're swell Tell several billion people they can go to hell? Who are you, to argue With the world at large Who are you, to argue With the world at large
