about

This is the most serious work on the album. The bubbles and glass effect were created by freely improvising with a sousaphone neck in a glass of water. Air was blown through the sousaphone neck and the neck was rattled against the glass. A very chill muted flugabone solo rounds out the track. All sounds you hear in this track are organic sounds (electrically modified at times) except the beats. The fifth stanza of the monologue features a haiku, a type of Japanese poetry.

lyrics

Trying times beg the question:
Is humanity redeemable?
I do believe it is.

Art is testament to that statement.
I find solace in it.
The monuments of beauty comfort me.

Violence is gratuitous,
unless it’s for the greater good…
Generally it can be avoided if we listen and love.

We need to listen and love.

Klansmen, robes of fear,
But they are redeemable.
Ignorance hung up.

Understanding will bring us together.
Love will prevail.
