This album was intended to be heard from beginning to end and the artwork by Grand Rapids, MI artist Milt Klingensmith does a wonderful job of visually describing the journey. A manufactured, replicated, disc and glossy UV protected—6 panel digipak ensure long life.
With the purchase of the Inclusions CD you will also receive my Detached CD at no additional charge.
Includes unlimited streaming of Inclusions
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
I was 21, working third shift at a very small gas station on a highway off ramp. My son was just over a year old and the local police department gave me a garage door remote looking device to press if I got robbed.
I sat there drawing, and writing songs. Sitting behind a cramped gas station counter with no glass or any kind of protection. Day dreaming (can you do that a night?) wondering when I'd see my family next and what lay ahead as I watched the world digitize itself.
lyrics
My feet callused hard from the quickening pace
eyes burning wet from the chemical haze
I climb up this hill to look down from above
surfing on a cloud of technological love
Smoke stacks heart attacks, statistics galore
from the second we're born, we have a foot out the door
wired this, wired that, they gave my dog a brain implant
now rover too has joined the race, his programmed tongue to lick my face
Now, my eggshell car has an artificial brain
and I can't loose control, even in the acid rain
so I coast through the streets, of this concrete entity
looking at reflections of what used to be me
With my feet callused hard from the quickening pace
my eyes burning wet from the chemical haze
I’ve made it to the top and reach down from above
surfing on a cloud of technological love
