DESCRIPTION:
State of Everyday Madness is a ccMixter collaborative remix between _Ghost, CDK (original track) and Tacet (some remixed elements, vocals and lyrics).

Thanks to @Dennicism and the other people who have shared this song on Youtube, and everyone who's listened.

I'm one of the collaborators on this track (Tacet @ ccMixter), I wrote the words (and sung them) and contributed additional instrumentation under my ccMixter handle (tacet). If you're interested in remixing without barriers ccMixter is a great place to start.

This particularly chilled version of the track was remixed by the super talented CDK, the other major contributor being the equally super talented _Ghost.

I hope you enjoy this video I've put together from Prelinger Archive footage (www.archive.org). Dedicated to our Japanese brothers and sisters, who are currently in the midst of a very real nuclear situation.

There's more info about the track on my blog if you'd like to know about the connection between the song and the video : www.tacet.net/blog

For those who are interested, we are planning new tracks, individually and collectively (look out for Ghost Kollective). I'll post further YT videos when there's something to share :) Feel free to leave comments of encouragement to hurry us along ;)

(btw. the quality of the video is low because it's from a really old archive, but I kinda like all the grainyness, the odd shape and crazy colour tinting.)

Lyrics for the song :

———————————
State of Everyday Madness
by GhostK (aka Ghost Kollective)
———————————

When I was such a small boy,
I wouldn't notice you from anyone.

When I had just a small voice,
I didn't think I'd learn to shout so loud.

[chord change]
Felt the same as anyone
Felt the strain like anyone....

When I was just a small boy,
...I didn't yearn to be the same.


[Chorus]
So lie to me, say it'll be ok,
So hold me down, before I drift away....


When I was just a small boy,
I didn't argue, curse or lay the blame.

———————————
whispered questions :

who do you think you are?
what will you become?
where will you go today?
will you become undone?
