Let There Be Dark (4​-​track Cassette collab)

about

4-track Cassette Collaboration - One track added at a time, and then the tape was snail-mailed for the next person to compose and add their track, blindly. This one had bass added first (me, Michigan), followed by lyrics/vocals (Nancy Rost, Wisconsin), then guitar (Eric Agner, Washington DC) and then drums (James Young, Bristol UK). James mixed it all down and posted it.

As I had no idea where the song was going when I wrote the bass part, I was surprised that it seemed to fly back past the 90's, 80's and ended up somewhere in the late 60's or early 70's. Cool man... ;-)

lyrics

Living in the land of 24/7
Being lit up like Vegas isn’t my idea of heaven
Sleep deprivation is torture, sensory barrage a way to pick on us
I’m not anti-enlightenment, but come on, this is ridiculous

Let There Be Dark
Let There Be Dark

Why is solitude misconstrued as loneliness?
Why is busy-ness brandished as a badge of success?
Is it technology, economy, or something hyper-puritanical
That’s skeptical of idleness and taking a sabbatical

Let There Be Dark
Let There Be Dark

Bridge: 69+It’s not a fanatical vision to step into the void and listen
All the world’s a stage, but man, I need an intermission

Come on, surrender, you can be free
There’s no tunnel vision when you can’t see
There's a whole lot of nothing for you to embrace
Taking the time and exploring the space

Let There Be Dark

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
