about

Lyrics are a response to an racist attack on a Chinese student in Sheffield, who was wearing a face mask to protect against corona virus (as advised to do by the media in China and Hong Kong)

(something - he's got a lot on his mind) <- Nope, not really 😝

Liner notes really say it all, I thought something might come up like this surrounding the coronavirus but when something popped up in my newsfeed that some thugs had done this in my hometown, it really wound me up. I love Sheffield and makes my mad that there are these idiots that live here. Not saying I wouldn't be mad if it happened elsewhere but it was close to home and that made it worse.

ZeCoop says:
Seemanski and I have been writing songs together since 2012, when he saved my otherwise useless output (computer died) with an amazing collaboration. We collaborated on songs in 2013, 14, and 15 and then he took a very understandable break to raise his daughter and we resumed songwriting last year... I'm pumped that we got another one done, and Mike really wrote a tough, honest assessment/response to some of the most horrible examples of human nature.

My second full 8-track cassette production - I think I'm getting the hang of this thing again! I wrote and recorded five drum songs last night and completed the first last night. I took a 3 hour nap after work today (MUCH needed) and felt rested and rejuvenated, so I thought I would have a go at the fast and loud drum song I had written.

By the way, none of these had any kind of click track when I was recording them and I'm pretty happy with how I kept time. This one obviously needed to have some crunchy guitars and I just kept piling them on... One Les Paul... Two Les Pauls.... THREE LES PAULS!!! Plus bass guitar. I had a lot of fun with this one and it all came together really fast.

Gear in order of appearance (except they all appear at the exact same time, lol):
1973 Ludwig Hollywood drum kit
Agile AL-3100 Les Paul (humbucker pickups)
Epiphone Traditional Pro Les Paul (single coil pickups)
Gibson Les Paul Special (P-90 pickups)
all Les Pauls through a 1973 Traynor YGL-3 amp into a Vintage 30 speaker
Peavey T-40 bass guitar

lyrics

push her down because she's not like you
the mask is just what she was told to do
it makes me sick that you did this in my home town
I hate to think there are people like you around

fuck you man, I have no patience
for this kind of racist statement

what would you think if this was done to you?
oh God forbid your children too?
do you really think your actions were right?
would you do it, if you knew that you couldn't win the fight?

fuck you man, I have no patience
for this kind of racist statement

you pushed her down because she's not like you

what is the justice that you desire?
what is the answer that would tame this fire?
do you think that you can uphold the law?
by pushing helpless women down to floor

fuck you man, I have no patience
for this kind of racist statement

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.
