Liner Notes

Thanks to the timeline difference, I've been at it all morning, now having a break. This is the first one this year...

Lyrics

It’s hard to explain, to put into words The feelings going through my head If I write them down, you’d think me absurd But I can’t control what the voices said Disperate strands forming threads

Listening to music from another time When words meant something And we liked them to rhyme And it wasn’t a dumb thing It sounded sublime, a different time

More than just beats and attitude Auto-tuned vocals, perfect timing Record execs manufacturing feuds AI songs about bitcoin mining Described by the press as genre defining

It’s a whole new world, today

Lovely harmony. The lyrics make a very salient point and I'm really enjoying your smooth signing.

Oh I really like this - definitely describes the feeling of being an artist of any kind in the world we live in now. The tune fits your voice really well, too!

lovely arrangement especially the BVs. beautiful harmonies picking out highlights in the lyrics. I like the step back observations, you pin it down nicely, without hammering the point. Great to hear your first of '26! Woohoo ...and he's off!

What a gorgeous warm sound, progression, everything. I can totally see myself singing this later as I putter around the kitchen... (The "genre defining" line made me laugh too. You are so right. This song epitomizes a lot of my personal musical philosophy.)

Your songs still sound sublime! Very nice start Gordon. Man! It feels good to hear you again!

Ooo, those sweet harmonies! This is indeed proper old-skool to match the lyrics. No doubt some wag will now challenge you to write a song about bitcoin... ;)
