Jutze 52 #8 – Communication Removal Is Due Tomorrow
This is actually the song I made for the second round of Song Fu #6 (listen and vote!). The task was to write a song that doesn’t contain any rhymes. Years ago I had written a song in German entitled “Morgen kommt der Kommunikationsentferner”. I reanimated the lyrical idea and translated a few of the original lines into English. The chords of the verse also remained the same. Still, I think it became a completely different song. For instance, it used to be a ballad; now it’s a rock song.
The song fu-version of this song (entitled “Communication Removal”) is 45 seconds longer; it contains more instrumental mayhem as well as an additional line about Mike Lombardo and Nickelback. I had originally planned to have a chorus going “And as of now my rhymes are out of order”, but that didn’t fit the rest of the song, so I scrapped it.
Some trivia: For the music box in the outro I punched arbitrary holes into a sheet of paper and pulled it through the little machine. Other instruments I recorded for the outro were ukulele, harmonica, melodica and tin whistle.
#8 Communication Removal Is Due Tomorrow
I just shut down the weather
Love doesn’t work anymore
Communication removal is due tomorrowThe shadows no longer obey the sun
All seasons are in exile
Communication removal is due tomorrowYesterday I made silence a little bit louder
And now I’ll turn off time
Communication removal is due tomorrowI successfully divided by zero
