Backwards Song about Messing Something Or Other

BMESSING

This song sounded like a rainstorm to me, but it also sounded like sun-getting-in-your-eyes; and because of that, I didn't know what colors to make the picture. So the panel on the left is regular rainstorm colors, and the panel on the right is sun-getting-in-your-eyes colors.

I've Got A Fever of a Hundred and One

FEVER101

The day I recorded this song, I was all sick. I really wanted to record a song, but my voice sounded shitty, on account of my being sick.  So, I decided to take advantage of that fact and make the shitty-ness of my voice into art by making the song be about a sick person. So, in this song, the girl in the fucked up school has a fever of 101, and although she wants to just stay in bed, she knows she'll get in trouble if she doesn't go to class. So she ends up going go class. (See below if you're unfamiliar with this project).

On that day, my temperature was actually 99, but 101 sounded cooler than 99.

Weird fever of 101

 This is last week's song if you play it backwards.

The lyrics are:

I’ve got a fever of a hundred and one

But if I miss this class, my life will not be fun

The teacher said / you don’t have a pass / to stay in bed / and miss this class

I’ve got a fever and it makes me feel like ass

If I don’t  go to school I may not pass my class

I cannot fail

I’d be deader than a nail

Ticking down to midnight and I’m kicking all the pails

Styx-ing in the river and it’s off to sea I sail

And I’m sicker than a dog incurring vet bills

This virus that’s inside us, no, it don’t respond to pet pills

I got this kennel cough don’t scoff, it’s very, very bad

And the teachers say to laugh it off, but it just makes me sad

One day, I started writing a song about a fucked up school. Then, a few days later, that lawsuit came out, involving those pervy professors in the Dartmouth Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. I was all, oh, my stars!!! That’s where I got my Ph.D.! Then I finished writing the song about a week later. I thought it was just a song about how the school system fucks up kids, but after I finished writing and recording it, I realized parts of it were about my experiences in that poopy psych department (the unconscious mind works in mysterious ways). In any event, I decided to write an album about a fucked up school in order to process my experiences of having been in that department and how the culture there impacted me. This album ain’t necessarily about Dartmouth, per se. It’s more of a weird, inner exploration where I’m, like, having a fucked up dialogue with my unconscious about my experiences at Dartmouth. Jung used to call that kind of stuff “active imagination.” So far, this album follows the story of a girl, whose guardian angels try to protect her, but often can't find her. The angels at some point decide that they have to protect the girl from those nasty teachers and start to plot against them. But then they realize they don’t want to actually harm the teachers, so they, instead, make the teachers’ brains into nature brains ™, which are basically brains that hear communications coming from nature spirits. The angels do this because they think it’ll give those teachers more empathy, and will, in turn, be nice to the students.

Backwards Song With Loving Biscuits In It

BACFEVER

This song has the words, "loving biscuits" in it. It also has "swine" in it. I drew two guys considering making loving biscuits because I forgot how to draw a pig. Next week, you'll hear that the forwards version of this song has a fever in it. That's why there's coughing in the beginning of this here tune. Cuz it is indicative of one having a fever. That, and I coughed in real life and decided to roll with it.

I Don't Know, I Can't See, I Can't Figure Out What's Wrong With Me

IDONTKNO
In this song, while the angels are fixin' to intervene on behalf of the girl, she starts to question her own mental stability. (See below if you're unfamiliar with this project). See, the teachers have been so brainwashy-abusive toward the students for so long, that the mental health of the students has been negatively impacted. But, on top of that, abusers often tell their victims that they're mentally unstable in order to control them.  So, in this case, it's a double whammy: The girl is questioning her mental health because she's been brainwashed into thinking she's mentally unstable, and the environment has made her mentally unstable for reals.

It's like a mirror in a mirror making an infinite regress of mirrors. A person has been made mentally unstable by being told she's mentally unstable, and because she buys into the messages coming from the people who say she's mentally unstable, it makes her even more mentally unstable than she would be if she wasn't getting told she was mentally unstable.

Weird i dont know

This is last week's song, if you turn it around backwards.

The lyrics are:

I don’t know, I can’t see, I can’t figure out what's wrong with me

I don't know, I can't see, I can't figure what is wrong with me.

It makes me get all sad and cry, and I don’t have a clue

And then I think that I should die, and there’s nothing else to do

I don’t know, I can’t see, I can’t figure what is wrong with me

…That is the true truth of it, my mind is feeling wrong

In the day that nightmares lit, the teachers lies are strong

I cannot tell if that’s my brain or if the teachers have made me get dumb

I think that maybe I’ve been trained and if they call me there I always will come

I’m as bendy as a palm tree in a bad blizzard in the middle of the night

And I wonder how this can be and if the angels can make it alright

I am all stupid and I cannot find a trace

Of the thing I used to be and it’s a fact I cannot face

And then I wonder what’s the thing I have become

I think my learning’s turning backwards and it’s making me get dumb

I don’t know, I can’t see, I can’t figure what is wrong with me

Oh yeah, I had a brain-fart...when I wrote the weird poetry/spoken-word/rap-for-beginners-section, I said "bendy as a palm tree in a bad blizzard." When I came up with that lyric, I was envisioning a hurricane. It wasn't till after the song got all recorded, I was all, "doh! I used the wrong storm-word!"

Backwards Song About Not Knowing Something

BACKWIDK

Here's a backwards song about not knowing something; it sounds sacred in parts, so that's why I did another church scene with Jesus in it.  I'm not sure if I'll be in a place that has internet access by this time next week, so I'm gonna post the next song today, too.
