about

Opening track from Jack E. Tar's 2011 sophomore full length release "VALEDICTION" a Tiny Town Tone Factory Recording.
R.I.P.

lyrics

I remember the year you passed away - same year two bulidings crumbled down.
A lot has changed since then... old friend.
As if we didn't see it clear as day.
In the midst of a monster…
In the summer sun.
We were within it...We saw within it...
Alarms bells were ringing...
To the tune of the pipeline.

Miasma n’ me asthma are all joined in happy harmony by now.
For the toxic bird deposits curd upon the flower eaten by the cow.

Take a picture for the sake of what we know -
Cause it won't be there long... of this we're sure.
We disassembled the radio... We needed the parts.
To start building another kind of radio.
...And the fire that we set to mark the spot -
Well it worked.
Yeah - We're here.

Some common issues and a handful of self respect.
And forever desire to seek and detect.
Yeah... it's ever the headache.
But there are things you reject.
Sometimes the answer you seek...
It's not the one you suspect.
It always hidden cause it's something that you want to protect.
And when you're open it's at this time that you'll likely affect -
Another person seeking clarity.
Help seeing direct.
Without the aid of some big fat infection.
