Intrinsic 07:42
Am I poseur or a wallabee? An intrinsic man & love-machine? Retrograde machine-time organi- sm in your head and mine till always is? Wonton time tin-clocks saying Signs on the sun fraught With danger and you & I in my head Friendship freight-train syllabee [made-up language, here] And want, want, want, want, want, want, [etc.] [more made-up, ad-libbed language] [ditto above] and it's already here: God's & Jesus's Kingdom And when the sky takes over Make sure you're not rolling over The skies take a toll of you & me The air itself--that which we And need to breathe in to live to exist Nevermind the detractors the cursers [becomes a theological rant]

Stars 04:00
See the stars In the sky When it's night In daytime They're shrouded By this life It's been suggested That if you could adjust Yourself to the frequencies of a sun You would not be destroyed by it Beyond the stars, brothers and sisters, A loving Heavenly Father must dwell. So run your race with gladness As a sun in its circuit.

“Try to look on the bright side! You shant be abhorring any Edomites On My holy mountain Wherefrom comes the Fountain Of Life and Youth in Living Waters From the throne of God, and Jesus' Cross For the Tree of Life He became To feed all weary and sick always” He now serves for you and me Even despite our unbelief Which blocks Him out in proportion as it is Tainted with heavy grief and sin “I need you, I need you,” says the Lord to you “There is no one else like you, And I love everyone else the same, it's true But there's only so much that I can do For the strong and the proud and the fast and the loud Who are climbing on top of each other in the crowd To see the Antichrist as he comes To bring his miracles to everyone “You're outside them, you're outside them, You don't have the Mark of the Beast On your fingers or your forehead or your hands or your feet; You walk in humility and patient love Which though they won't see are there for everyone You meet... For whomever wants them. You are just like, you are just like Me, You are just like, you are just like Me.”

about

Recorded throughout the second half of 2020, at my place and in the Grubbs' basement.

The basic audio recording of the "lol" track (before I added the music) is my oldest surviving audio recording, which I'm still very much fond of. The other guy in the background is my old friend Andy, and some of the other voices came from his brother and cousin.

I think nearly every note on this album was performed during phases with drinking alcohol. So there's sloppiness, though mostly intended I guess. And free-association with a lot of the lyrics, especially on the first half of the album; Syd Barrett fans might get it.
