Talking Backwards
by @ayais
Liner Notes
Another one from Tilla and Crow. They've discovered The Worm (a tricked out computer that survived a good long time without being re-booted) and are happy to consider communicating with the past (our present).
Lyrics
Talking backwards Through the ground Mother - please carry the sound
Blood pumping Under the skin Bringing past wisdoms in
Ho Ho Ho
With special sight Ears of a bat And the balance of the cat
Looking through What came before We’ll go out the entrance door

That persistent simple percussion is perfect for this song. Sounds like a folk song from either the past or future, I'm not sure which given the subject matter. But I am sure I really like this tune.

Ooh, the doubled vox really scratch that itch for me. I'm liking the simplicity of this, with the strummed guitar and the minimal percussion. Your tunes are always appealing.

I like the conciseness of the lyrics ... three-word lines and "Ho ho ho." The minimal instrumentation works well in framing the vocal. Short and sweet!
