for years i have suspected the alphabet to be a hoax and/or a government conspiracy. i don't think making sounds with our faces is working.
like all the other animals we really probably only need a small handful of songs. and the rest is just gibberish. trust me, I am a reverend. it’s a game. it's not real. we don't have names. that’s crazy talk. language is a trick. it’s like heroin. as soon as you buy into it you’re hooked. now you gotta learn the name of everything. if you want to make it sound mature you can call it expanding your vocabulary, but it’s just a bunch of nonsense. flim flam, rigmarole, razzmatazz, wack a doo. any dance is fine. good poets quit.
i decided a few years ago that i was going to try to stop making up songs because i had come to the realization that there wasn't anything to say. but upon further meditation i decided this was precisely the reason why i should keep doing it. as soon as i realized there was no point in doing what i was doing i felt like i could finally start in earnest.
ONE DAY A WISE YOUNG MAN
THREW DOWN HIS APRON AND HE SAID, “I QUIT”
I’VE BEEN CONSIDERING THE MEANING OF EXISTING
AND I’M PRETTY SURE THIS AIN’T IT
SO HE CLIMBED THE TALLEST MOUNTAIN
SAT BENEATH THE TALLEST TREE
SEEKING A PEACE WITHIN HIMSELF
HE WAITED PATIENTLY
IT WOULD SEEM THAT ALL WAS FOLLY
AS HE FOCUSED MORE AND MORE
EXPLORING THE NATURE OF BEING
UNTIL HE CAME TO ITS VERY CORE
AND IT WAS THERE HE BECAME ENLIGHTENED
AND IT WAS THEN HE BEGUN TO SOB
“OH SHIT. I QUIT MY JOB”
IS EVERYBODY READY FOR THE GET TOGETHER?
IS EVERYBODY READY FOR THE GET TOGETHER?
IS EVERYBODY READY FOR THE GET TOGETHER?
DAY AFTER FOREVER, OBLIVION OR BETTER …
YOU BETTER GET READY
COME ON, SOMEBODY
YOU BETTER GET READY
About Todd Snider:
You don't often hear about an artist reinventing their sound ten albums into a celebrated career. But for Todd Snider, his latest release, First Agnostic Church of Hope and Wonder, isn't so much a sudden change in direction as an arrival after years of searching.
“After my last album Agnostic Hymns, I felt like I was out of ideas and I just didn't know where to go next,” Snider says. “So I did a side project with the Hard Working Americans, and I learned a ton. I tried to study music by other people, and come to this record hoping that I'd have something new to say. I wanted to do what I was calling 'funk in back and busking up front, with White Album-y shit scattered about.' I had done a lot of listening to Parliament and James Brown and lots of reggae music, too. It's embarrassing to admit, but I've been trying to think of this sound all my life. This is the closest I've come to thinking, 'Man, I don't know that I've heard anything like this before.'”
