I just got laid off, my girlfriend dumped me, and I've been diagnosed with kidney stones. I could use some uplifting music. This band is called Fresh Air. Maybe this'll cheer me up.
No information about this band. Supposedly this record was released in 1971 on the Morgan House label. This was their only release. I'm going to assume that they were a Baltimore local band. Seems the female singer, Alana Shor, went on to do more stuff in the 80s with the band "Shor Patrol". Another of the bands members, Bob Brady, was a part of The Con Chords (assuming it's the same guy) who released Blue Eyed Soul records in the sixties. This is a very strange song and I have no idea how a label managed to release it. Granted, there was other strange stuff at the time (like the band Comus), but to have a song literally titled "Kill Yourself", with the chorus saying "commit suicide!" is hilariously staggering.
people were smoking weed since a lot longer than the 70s and i mean, even sober people come up with comically dark and absurd concepts... the only real question is why arent more people making music like this? i usually hate music that sounds like this but ill give this a couple listens.
Kind of sounds like an anti smoking ad. With the taste industrial waste, the smoke imagery, and the let your lungs decide. Or telling them factory owners to snuff themselves
this song surprisingly isnt about suicide - the chorus mentions it a lot yes , but the main idea of the song isnt that. this is anti-pollution , anti-smoking , all that stuff.
depends on how nihilistic you are when you listen to it I guess lmao, I just hear it and think "well yeah the world sucks and nobody's listening I'm glad someone was brave enough to offer a solution"
@camdatboi here spitting faxqckts fr If Dio managed to get his voice without coaching, just by copying opera singers, so can you (maybe not to that extent, but you get the point)
@@CandiedC??? Sampling is amazing though? Just be sure to do a mix of sampling and making your own melodies and stuff, but even the best produces still simple sometimes 😊
is this an anti-smoking song? the lyrics are all about smoke, especially “you could live another day/if you blow the smoke away” or the “let your lungs decide” in the chorus
To me this reads as an anti-pollution message. The lyrics are specifically talking about bad air quality and industrial waste. The environmental movement gained traction by the 1960’s, especially after Marvin Gaye’s album ‘What’s Going On’ touched on the same issues in 1970. This song was released in 1971.

OK, so I was initially wondering if this was one of those A.I. novellty tracks doing the rounds, but the musicianship told me no (if you listen to a lot of *current* A.I. novelty tracks, you'll get why you can kind of tell this isn't one). Just to be sure, I checked out Discogs and this was a genuine release back in 1971! Thanks OP! This is a great little track! I'm surprised it hasn't been sampled the fuck out of by crate diggers yet....
@@oskarikoski9683there were definitely AI songs before 2020 but they all sucked massively (subjective I know) and were nowhere near as coherent as this
@@RikoAyaka455 yeah, that was kind of the point. AI-generated songs that are somewhat coherent, and sometimes good enough to be actually funny, are a relatively new thing. Maybe just year or so? Definitely you wouldn't have just stumbled onto them in RUclips 4 years ago
@oskarikoski9683 Definitely within the last year for decent A.I. music. You can still usually tell its A.I. though....kinda like you can tell an A.I . generated article or answer. By this time next year, you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

@@rockolutheran That was my original interpretation, but the problem is it makes out like this is an individual decision. The person they're referring to is actively killing themselves and hurting those around them which fits smoking really well. But it could be a case of ¿Por Qué No Los Dos?
Yea i think thats also a fair interpretation. To me, it seems like it’s saying you might as well commit suicide if you and others around you don’t try to change the situation regarding pollution, especially if the message is falling on deaf ears - “No one really cares”. It’s a really captivating and strange song this one.
Just shows all the proof how tone is what defines the vibe. A happy warm vibe song with these lyrics. It's still a catchy song. Music influences us heavily.
I love youtube recommended. The first like 20 seconds, the drum beat, the guitar, the vocals and just the song in general could be a banger sample. Now I wanna hear the other song from these guys.
Indeed, let your lungs decide 💪 life is death, death is life, It's the realization & acceptance that everything is created in your mind, will set you free. ❤
I opened yt to listen something to relieve my stress of today and it literally greeted me with this. I was trying to process if it was a meme or something made with AI but when I saw it was uploaded 4 years ago I was like "no way this shit is real. It must be a shitpost or smth." AND IT WAS AN ACTUAL RELEASE AND A SURPRISE. But a welcome one nonetheless.
