Feb 2022 streamofconscious spokenword dream glitch nonsense surreal
Stream of consciousness nonsensical ramble based on a dream I had.
Recorded and mixed the demo in less than 20 minutes (it's amazing what you can do when you throw randomising glitch effects at a drum loop).
Maybe I'll develop it, maybe not.
The Parallax View
When it dawned on me that I was watching myself from a different perspective, I realised that this could only be a dream
Time travel through a cinema screen
There is no past or future
It's all happening now
The precision engineering
Of the why when and how
The blood crosses on your t-shirt gave it all away
Walking through neighborhoods
And coming out through corner doors of hotels in digbeth
It's one of my dream places
Heather watching herself
On the phone in hysterical tears
She's one of my dream faces
I can never find my way back to where I was
When I'm in one of my dream mazes
I had to swim through Sludge to get to the embankment
Pull myself up
But in dreams the pace is...
So... slow...
And the family in the hotel room with the blood crosses t-shirt
The oriental mascot had taken his place with them, taking Polaroids that would come back to haunt
But I was walking around backstreets of Solihull and I wanted to change my shoes

Your creativity has always inspired me. I love this line - The blood crosses on your t-shirt gave it all away. I wonder if this would only work with a British accent. It automatically gives the words a heft and impact.

I want to take the "...why when and how" verse out for a couple drinks and hope things go where I hope they do. So good.

Spooky. Dream pace is so very slow. You're doing some interesting pieces this FAWM.
