We're feeling reflective, and since no one submitted an answer to last week's story problem, we decided to write this song about ALL OF YOU! That's what you get. This week's song reminded me of so much, musically. It kicked off with what I thought of as a White Stripes' sound and then the bridge reminded me of a Blondie song that Scot, who wrote the music, isn't even familiar with. Scot thought parts were reminiscent of Steppenwolf and The Strokes. This got me to thinking about how really, everything has been done before. It's all so pasticheous. Every attempt at originality is a failure. Ideas are recyclable, echo-logical. Everything repeats. Like this blog, this whole project, it's not really all that original. We could easily be accused of seeing Julie & Julia a few too many times. Humans are a rather futile race when you think about it, but we're in this together. That's consoling, right? We think so. Instead of concentrating on and striving for such sever originality, which only causes us to drift further away from our own humanity, why not form a powerful superhuman Pangaea? After all, we are the world...see, again, none of this is original thought folks. Doesn't make it any less true.
