I have one piece of music, since 1997, and I don’t see it having lyrics. Where does it go in this world? So I haven’t recorded it Picture Quote #1

One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one’s government is not necessarily to secure freedom Picture Quote #1

Today the tyrant rules not by club or fist, but disguised as a market researcher, he shepherds his flocks in the ways of utility and comfort Picture Quote #1
