FAWM: "Ever Changing (Never Different)"

Ever Changing (Never Different)

Liner Notes

Including this song in this Skirmish is a bit of a cheat. I've been working on it for two weeks. But I needed to get it recorded so I used the hour for that. And I just think it fits the prompt so well.

In my own unstable time I've been meditating on change. I wanted to pour that into a song. This is the result. It's one I can see changing as I get older too.

Lyrics

The sun hasn't changed But what it does has. My shadow changes Even when I sit still

Sometimes life feels like the face of the moon. The light changes But nothing moves Impatience strains against reality All I ever really see

Ever changing but never different

You cannot see the wind Only the change it brings Consistent selfish chaos Like solar radiation

Predictable impulses Are all I ever see

Ever changing but never different

The sky is changing It's never different. Easier to change skin It's a system

-Kazoo klaxon-)

It's a system.

-Kazoo klaxon-

Break the System

-Kazoo klaxon-

This has a catchy feel with that cool guitar riff a the punchy delivery of lyrics and is perfect for the prompt! It’s a great groove and, of course, the kazoo outro is the icing on the cake of change!

Right off the bat you have a great guitar riff, and the vocal line also brings its own rhythmic power to the groove. I definitely want to hear a band playing this at 100 db. Nice work!

I'm bopping along with this in my seat. Love the kazoo!! The lyrics are great, I like the concept of always changing but never different. It seems wrong, but it resonates as right!
