This song is experimental because it is actually two different songs. The first song "Johnny Flash, the Glitterman" is done using electric rhythm guitar and lead and the second song "You're Dead" is done using an acoustic lead and rhythm guitar.

Story behind the song
The song looks at the blind narcissm of many artists and musicians with the alter ego called "Johnny Flash, the Glitterman" and the song "You're Dead" represents the conscience as a reality check which is ignored as demonstrated by the repeat of the first verse. Definitely experimental.

Neat job,combining two songs together This has a lot of potential for commercial success,I think maybe a little work on syllable balance during verses would push this over the edge Awesome hook/concept!

Great lyrics, and a fun song to listen to, most people seem to be wasting a lot of time these days, But others are in an all out race against time to get done as much as they can with the few precious years they are given in this world. Thank you for this, Darrell
