Graduating alumni, fellow academics,


Permit me to engage you in a bit of polemics,


 


Tomorrow, you leave the walls of this establishment


And enter forth into the world as recent graduates -


Future astronauts, doctors, lawyers and presidents.


 


Since you are probably prickly with anticipation,  


Allow me to offer my congratulations.


And because nobody usually says it outloud -  


A few words on what the real world 's really about.  


 


As of tomorrow, you'll be in a student loan yoke,


Earning minimum wage and perpetually broke.


You'll get your momma to frame your diploma


And hang it on the wall for all to behold, 


Glance at it once a year and reminisce about the days of old.


 


You'll slowly grow fat, spend your free time in bed, 


And stress over cholesterol levels, car payments and rent.


You meet a mate in a pub, consumate, procreate, 


Create progeny to graduate in 2038


 


With a remote in hand, morphed into the couch,


Stuck in gridlock traffic, adjusting the AC up a notch,


At the orthodontist, hiding behind a magazine,


At the ATM covering your pin. 


 


You'll likely get depressed, 


Develop an ulcer from the stress 


And a range of other issues to address...


 


But all will fare well, all storms settle down.


You'll grow into bearded men and soccer moms.


You'll start affairs and wars, marry and divorce, 


Life will run its course


While you stand at the copier and dream of the golf course.     


 


So don't worry. Don't live in a hurry.


Take the pen in hand and write your story. 


Most waking seconds are wasted; spare a precious few. 


Looking for answers - the answer is you.

I tried to keep it sexy while letting Kelly steal the show. My additions begin around 0:45.  My favorite part is at 1:36.

Drop a letter down Stairs of alabaster


Wrap some newspaper Around your heart strings


To keep the sound in


 


Is anybody listening?


 


Give yourself space In boxes set on curb side streets


Shy away from the neighbors and Oh god the strangers, can it wait


 


You wait


 


Count down days in chronicles You wince at doors


As they close There they go


 


These rooms are empty


But these walls won’t stop talking


 


Can’t escape the memories


Up there with the funniest thing is


Can’t tell that you left from here


 


It’s raging cold But it’s alright


Is anybody home?


 


Down stairs hear the radio play


In a dark room locked inside away


From the truth of how you died


 


Is anybody listening?


 


“You can’t save her”


 


Is anybody home?

When I went to conquer you I found you malleable under my weapons of war.  Like soft clay sinking into a riverbank, merging with the water.  This was not the way I'd imagined it going....

Here's a chilled out instrumental I did. Could use vocals and a new mix. I'll upload stems later tonight.

Malicore's "The D Drop" with some added vocals. Needs to be remixed or maybe have some singers re-do the vocals?  I think we can make this into something. lyrics:


everybody's talkin'


maybe we'll just play along


'cause there ain't no definition.


who can say what's right or wrong?


yeah, 'cause no one really knows


how the story really goes


so we just carry on.


lookin for the answers


you been travellin' far and wide


yeah, but everything you seekin


you can find it deep inside 


yeah, 'cause no one really knows


how the story really goes


so we just carry on.


science, religion


it's all superstition


all of the facts are just based on fiction


a whole lot of theories


but nothing's been proven


why waste my time grovellin'?


i'd rather be groovin'


movin my body, the beat of my heart


music and poetry, collaborative art


brings us together like nothing else can


i wish i could show you so you'd understand


just like breathin'


i know that you can feel it


don't just read it 


sing it like you mean it.
