Liner Notes
From the depths of the forums come a new sensation... MoonCrew track - We've got: @cassiemoon - drums @lyricslinger - lyrics @seemanski - piano @kosch - guitar/vocal/harmonica @hornesgiftshop - impending bass
Simon provided a relatable (to me...and everyone - eventually) set of lyrics - I went with a bit of a #bluesy vibe on the acoustic. (I didn't have the bandwidth to do a "proper" DAW track with click, and just threw an 'acoustic one take" w/ guitar/vocal over the wall, so I likely wandered a bit - props to this crew for sticking with it) Some nice piano and drums stirred in, and we will add the bass part in a couple days - I will note when this song is the updated version. Threw in a last minute bit of harmonica, because, why not? A fun #collab #fulband
Lyrics
King Of The Tech (Verse 1) Colour TVs and a digital watch I was cutting edge with my set top box The Internet with a dial up that whined Mobile phones like bricks, that was all fine
(Verse 2) Being Mum’s tech help with a tower PC Here’s how you print, it’s so easy Showing Dad how to use the TV remote Or connect to the net with a Wifi code
(Chorus) I was king of the tech But my reign wouldn’t last Cos all the knowledge that I gained Now belongs squarely in the past
(Verse 3) Now it’s Uber taxis and paying with apps Chat GPPPs or something like that? There’s cars with no gear sticks, passwords galore The Cloud’s pretty vital but I’m not sure what for?
(Verse 4) Pizza Hut won’t take an order from me You tap it at the table, need an IT degree Put your face in the picture, or your fingerprint press All it bloody does is raises my stress
(Chorus) I was king of the tech But my reign couldn’t last Cos all the knowledge that I gained Now resides squarely in the past
(Bridge) I was king of the tech Like an Alpha lion on the Savannah Now I’ve got a gammy leg My sons are prowling Gaming and growling Eyeing up the crown Pacing up and down
(Chorus) I was king of the tech But my reign couldn’t last Cos all the knowledge that I gained Now resides squarely in the past Yeah, I was king of the tech Now the circle of time bites me on the ass

Great lazy bluesy feel! Hard to believe the harmonica was a last minute decision because it feels like the song was written with it in mind! The lyrics are quite clever (love the last line!), and very relatable to a certain generation! Look forward to the update!
