OZ TUMOR

Man, we (Kleie and I) wrote this song in the 90s sometime. At that time, it was based on a djembe beat. Times change. This is mostly lute, although I strayed from the path of no overdubs'n such. So there are multiple tracks and even a sequenced drum track (gasp!) don't worry it's just a bass drum. And I'm singing, obviously.
I messed around with Logic's Space Designer a little bit and was pleased with its speaker simulations. Not sure what Kleie originally did with my voice back in the day, but this comes close.
OZ TUMOR
Es sieht aus als würde ich fliegen
draußen Worte Farben Silben Bewegung
Bewegung
OZ RIA RIZ RAZOR
KA HOOR JEDI TUMOR
Hbf Rof 32 APPLE JEANS
In der Bewegung liegt die Ruhe
wie ein junges Kalb
schau ich hinaus und sehe gar nichts
weiter
immer weiter
immer weiter weg
weg noch von den letzten
weg
Almost looks like I'm flying
outside words colors syllables
motion
motion
OZ RIA RIZ RAZOR
KA HOOR JEDI TUMOR
Hbf Rof 32 APPLE JEANS
Stillness embedded in motion
like a young calf
I'm looking outside seeing nothing
going on
always going on
away from the last ones
away
Mmmmmm clearly some angsty deep lyrics here. The OZ refers to Hamburg's most famous graffiti artist
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oz_(Sprayer)
He was Hamburg's most prolific sprayer, also mentally ill, in and out of psych units and jail apparently, could not stop spraying.
The other tags were graffitis I saw from my commute in the S-21 every day. OZ tags were not unlike a tumor before the guy died. Somewhere there must be a picture of me on a stage in HH, wearing a big ol' "OZ is art" shirt. Props to OZ, still.
