The Long Fall Down
The Long Fall Down
The creepy ethereal intro was done with some bowed glass samples that I have since lost from a hard drive failure. Later I let a friend of mine, Deon, lay down some rap vocals over the top that fit the murderous vibe of the track very well.
So many people in our society have thin skin.
Why do we all take ourselves so seriously?
Tragedy and comedy are not opposite ends of a
pendulum, they are more like stripes on a spinning
barber pole.
It seems that a very small portion of society
is capable of seeing that when some situation
has the potential to be very tragic it also has the
potential to be incredibly funny.
They fail to see how
emotionally and logically vulnerable
they are because of this incapability.
And yet, even though those like me are
outnumbered
we are still the predators.
A little devil in me squeals with delight whenever
some poor person takes the bait of my facetious
comments like a fly caught in a spiderweb, exposing
a jugular vein of emotional vulnerability.
What else is there to do but drink?
