Everyday Encounter...
|
I've set out to start with music rather than themes, but sometimes there are patterns in the things we hear and observe. Sometimes because we're predictable in what we listen to, and sometimes it's because we're more aware of what we need to be aware of.... The more you think about yellow cars, the more you see!
This is another song about what's going on around us, and not being able to avoid it. We shouldn't try and avoid it all. This song is a little different though.

Human kind has been on a journey round light:
We sat round a fire and told stories as communities and clans; We moved indoors and read stories around the fireplace, or listened to them on the radio; The radio got replaced by the television and we continued to have less responsibility in telling the story, though we were all still pointing in the same direction; Nowadays the TV is still in the corner of the living room, and the seats still point towards it, and it ever continues to burn out a light and tell stories, but whilst it tells its stories I tune it out and disappear into the light of the screen in my hand. It tells stories, paints pictures and shows things to me. I experience them alone, along with millions of other people, and occasionally I send them to other people on social media so that they too can enjoy them alone. |
