    Lyrics:
    Fade cream, all erased
    I can’t remember who you are
    Hear and taste all erased
    I can’t remember who you are
    The Simone Hotel…
    Guard! Guard!
    Light a candle, pull the handle
    You are erased
    And now sow bugs the size of real sows?!
    Dear Dr. Duck,
    What’s the solution for people like us
    Long Gone Harmonica, Boogie Woogie Clair
    Sleepy Pee Wee, Junior Little Buddy
    Jelly Roll Cacao, Geeshee Purple
    Champion Kitty
    Light a candle, pull the handle
    You are erased
    It would be twice as good
    If you lay down on the track
    Half for the trash, half for the hornets
    It could be four times as good
    If you lie down there again
    A quarter for the gooseberry bush
    A quarter for the gooseberry bug
    It was the clarinet that made you deaf
    Not the coming train Connie…

    going into this album i had the wrong intentions. i was searching for what i considered "music" which like 3 songs in i was reminded can often be (blindly) limited to a much more narrow conception. after sort of realizing how much i was enjoying just sitting here with my headphones on while these tracks do their thing, i genuinely feel inspired in my own life at how much interest lies beneath the obvious, limited concept that we make of things for simplicity's sake. i am by no means saying you have to like this music or anything but that as soon as i allowed myself a larger capacity, i actually felt just this fulfillment in the enjoyment and inspiration this shit gives me

      Aspen Lawler literally couldn’t of said it any better with this kinda music. Im a musician myself and I’m finding myself making more and more electronic inspired tracks like this that’s more about vibe as opposed to constant rhythms. It’s pretty liberating as a musician even I never release the music. I recommend any with a synth or a modular key board do the same.

    • @BudBonkerson
      @BudBonkerson 4 года назад +3

      once I realised that pretty much all sounds are made out of the same sine waves that make the music we hear, it really opened me up to the concept of music as a headspace, open to emotional interpretation, rather than a quantifiably enjoyable thing. It sounds really stuffy and metaphysical, but it was so invigorating. and similarly to Panamera, it really informed my own music.

    just found y'all. i remember once hearing music is really just the same notes rearranged differently, which i guess is true but the beauty in not following the standard structure is xtremely satisfying i have to say. its like taking a deep breath honestly. sure you dont NEED to, you breath fine normally, but it just feels correct sometimes ya know?

    So you know your Alzheimic grandmother, who used to be a top socialite at the Simone Hotel? Yeah, this is her song once she forgot the faces of her family and lover. She may seem placid, but these are her dreams as she passes between the fog of forgetting and the horror of clarity. Boogie Woogie Claire was her favorite song, Champion Kitty, her favorite pet. She doesn't even remember why she remembers those words, she just remembers the faint aesthetic touch of feeling associated with those words but she wonders why she remembers, who is she remembering, why she remembers. Hear and taste, all erased. I can't remember who you are. GUARD GUARD GUARD GUARD

But like, the whole design language of this video just screams weird fetish porn. I hope somebody knows what I'm talking about. Just the whole surreal, dreamlike atmosphere
