I don't have to tell you
Things are bad
Everybody knows things are bad
It's a depression…

Finally, it exists. A song I’ve been wanting to make since around 2004 when I first happened upon the source material, 1977’s timely and prophetic dark comedy, Network. A snippet of it nearly went on an early mixtape, then my first album, but ultimately I didn’t do it, as I didn’t want to truncate the sample, and at that time, I was focusing on vocal rap music and had yet to invent Meaningwave, so it wasn’t yet time for a 4-minute plus song with no rapping based around a movie sample.

Early on in the Meaningwave journey, the idea re-presented itself. I could hear it in my head. But I wasn’t skilled enough to bring it into being at that time. So it stayed in my head, and I worked and worked, and song by song developed those skills.

Some six hundred or so songs later, in the year 2024 AD, I was finally able to bring the song I heard in my head into the world.

I’ve been working on this since June, and today it is finally time to let it fly. No song is ever finished, we just have to stop chipping away at the marble and let the statue stand on its own.

AND SO IT STANDS:

I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE

The music video is on Youtube, and you candownload the song on Bandcamp. It will be on DSPs at the end of the week.

You can also purchase a very cool T-shirt designed by me, with which to share the sentiment with the world.
