to ‘go for it’ is a common advice, but to me, it forms a mantra that could become the end of me. i was born in a family and society that thinks and speaks in opportunities. micro-capitalists with the best intentions. this song reflects my life so far. i wasn’t alive if i didn’t move forwards. it took an absurd collision of life threads to make me implode, halt and tune in.
may this song be an undeniable reminder that my people, surroundings and body don’t need any progress in order to be embraced and enjoyed.
big hug to video artist Xuan and music wizard David Chesworth
lyrics
[] don’t know what [] feel
[] don’t need friends
[] don’t know what [] feel like
[] gotta make steps
[] don’t feel my body
[] can’t touch my body
[] am a sexual person
[] gotta make steps
busy making steps
from A to B
from A to better
to C to D to E to F to G to H
just a little bit more
from A to J to better to X
to Y to Z, but why, but where
where am
[] want to make a statement, but
[] don’t know what kind of statement
[] have my shoulders in my ears
[] am so lucky
[] gotta make steps
[] don’t know
[] don’t know
[] haven’t felt for a while now
[] gotta make steps
busy making steps
from A to B
from A to better
to C to D to E to F to G to H
just a little bit more
from A to J to better to X
to Y to Z, but why, but where
where am I

Very complex neo-classical music. This has lots of layers to it, and sounds at times discordant, but I like it more with each listen. This band requires some patience, but I think you get rewarded for that patience. Found in Ed Buckley's collection. Roy Meerkamper
