Dog Lullaby
Переглядів 23 тис.5 років тому
This is me playing a Dan Fogelberg lullaby for my dog on a music box amplified by a DVD box set of the BBC series, House of Eliott. This is something that happens all the time anyway, but I thought you would want to see. My new album is Some Guys, which is covers of 70s soft rock songs that sound exactly like the originals. www.kickstarter.com/projects/1367654906/some-guys-the-new-album-from-jo...

If you are nervous about this sort of thing, it helps to be on a giant cruise ship wearing sunglasses and sipping a fruity frozen drink in the beautiful Caribbean sunshine.

      @somegoddessbloodprincess4349 Ooooh ok sorry your comment just kind of read like you'd never listen to it all the way through even after. But yea its crazy how hearing a song while doing a hobby you love can change your perspective on it. There are 1940s songs I would've probably never enjoyed if I never played Fallout and heard them. It's the same with just telling someone about a band, they could listen and not be into them but their best friend mentions the band later on and afterwards they absolutely love that band.

    I decided to type out the video text for whoever may want to use it (i.e., ChatGPT analysis alongside the lyrics): You are in a factory. It's an enormous room. If there are walls, they're too far away for you to make out. You assume there is a ceiling somewhere above you, but when you look up, you only see an impenetrable darkness. In front of you is a short CONVEYOR BELT that stretches between two columns. There are other people standing at similar conveyor belts all around you, in all directions, as far as the eye can see. In your hand is a PICTURE OF THE MOON. >take picture You can't take the PICTURE OF THE MOON because you already have it. >look picture You look at the PICTURE OF THE MOON. It is a picture of the moon >examine picture You see nothing special about the PICTURE OF THE MOON. It is a picture of the moon. >rip picture You can't do that right now. >eat picture You can't do that right now. >argha aadfa dfjkadgjlkadg I don't understand "argha aadfa dfjkadgjlkadg." (There is a conveyor belt though. It is stopped.) >start conveyor belt . .. ... A WIDGET emerges from a hole in the left column.

You think about what entertainment you will watch when you return to your pod's domicile. You notice a SWITCH on the wall that's labeled "Destroy." Next to it are three empty SLOTS that look like they hold CIRCUIT BOARDS. OMG, you stopped processing WIDGETS and your ROBOT SUPERVISOR is right behind you! >process widget Too late! Your ROBOT SUPERVISOR grips your shoulder. "Hey there buddy!," he says. "Seems like you got a little distracted! Maybe time to take a RED PILL!" >eat red pill You eat the RED PILL.

I mean, sure, I haven’t heard any of these since I was in middle school and switched from Q-105 Soft Rock to 98 ROCK for The Wall and Van Halen but I kept my Jim Croce and Best of Bread Vol. 1 & 2 albums for a couple more decades and the sound is right on! #SadManRock

It would be interesting to find out someone like that exists), it's a pivotal cultural phenomenon, it's a piece of History. The present are the consequences of the past.

    Whenever I hear this song, kind of makes me think of the arch-rivalry of a certain mad scientist with ambitions of world conquest against a certain blue prickly speedster! In part of the lyrics, there is: 0:05 "even the suit has teeth" This part reminds me of how the ends of a mad scientist’s certain yellow cape look like walrus tusks (which, when combined with his large mustache, gives the illusion that he looks like a walrus). 0:57 "Devising a master plan" The mad scientist’s theme states he has a master plan (but then again, it could be said by any mad scientist) 0:26 "could it be that you need me, to keep you out, to run you faster." Feels like a reference to how the Blue Blur runs circles around this guy.
