Don’t Listen To Arcanta (final)
Like every other thing I record, this one feels like it’s about 90% of what it really should be. But, eh, I’m just gonna let it go.
Several years ago, Debb and I went to a Faith and the Muse concert, and the opening act was this guy, Arcanta. He was all chanty and reverby and kinda world-musicky, which was kinda neat but kinda tiresome, but the main problem was that he went on forever. The little venue had strict show end times, so FatM had to cut their concert short. This really kinda ticked us off, because they only rarely tour.
So, I wrote the lyrics for this song that night, and been kicking em around in my brain ever since. Finally recorded the damn thing.
Oh yeah! Forgot, Debb wanted me to point out that The Ninja-Zombie Show, that I did for Scribs (remember Scribs?), is now in the discography.

I’m gonna have that stuck in my head forever now.

You obviously missed the first band, Garden of Dreams. They were the ones who played for WAY too long, then took forever to take their gear down. Arcanta played their allotted set, actually shortening it so their good friends William & Monica could go on at a decent hour. F&TM were guaranteed as much time as they needed, then the owners changed their mind and pulled the plug.
This is all water under the dam, but your “song” is based on…ignorance.
Can’t wait to hear your album, or see you play live!

Damn, really? Huh.
Well. The rolling reverb just made it feel like it was forever, I guess.

Sounds kinda like a fey King Crimson….Queen Crimson?
Nice though, albeit in an earwig sorta way…
