about

This song is about many things, mostly social paranoia and fear, but partly also about tinnitus and existential worrying.

I tried many things in regards to giving this song music, but every time I came back to what you hear before you. A bit like that John Cale song, the music is what goes on around you, except not as pretentious. Or more pretentious. Either way, this was a very fun song to come up with.

lyrics

Nothing is silent anymore.
I wade through a crowd of whispers
As sensitive as the tip of a whisker
Nothing is silent anymore.

When I die I'll be forgotten
As the person that was,
No impressions left on the ground.
I feel like the person that was, already.

And like from an old movie screen
I slip seamlessly through the scene,
I'm seen and senselessly I scream.

Nothing is silent anymore.
I wade through a crowd of whispers
As sensitive as the tip of a whisker.

Nothing is silent anymore.
I wade through a crowd of whispers
As sensitive as the tip of a whisker.

Nothing is silent anymore.
I wade through a crowd of whispers
As sensitive as the tip of a whisker.

Nothing is silent anymore.
I wade through a crowd of whispers
As sensitive as the tip of a whisker.
Nothing is silent anymore.

about

Barabajagal Dunedin, New Zealand

Barabajagal are a band who make music.

It's pretty ok stuff really.

It's rooted in psychedelia but incorporates so many genres that it doesn't really seem too definable. But it's ok with that.

Despite being a kiwi band the songwriter is actually rather English, so whenever he sings you'd be hard pressed to go "wow, those kiwis huh". Still, New Zealand-ish.

Pronounced Bah-Rabba-Jaggle.
