I’ve been pondering the idea of a song based on On Truth for a while, but the songs usually came out very angry. Not that the anger isn’t justified in some way, but if it’s coming out unconsciously like that, that’s not something I want to release… I want any music I produce to inform, not inflict.

I came up with some lyrics to another tune that talk about the “tyranny of illusion” and I think that one has potential, but it’s still a work in progress.

I came up with this tune on Tuesday after a chat where Stef and another board member were discussing a possible style to the lyrics that this particular member had written. Stef was suggesting something bluesy, specifically something like John Lee Hooker.

I noticed that it was in a major key but was so, so sad… the tune I came up with is kind of an inversion. It’s minor, but it’s not so completely sad as minor keys are wont to be.

I’m calling it, for now, “What Is Man?”
