Description:
I wasn't allowed to upload this without a description? So...
It's a song but I don't really know what it's about. Just happened.
Lyrics:
One in Million Die Tonight
One in Million Cry
One in a Million will Starve Tonight
One in a Million Lie
But I Don't Really Care That Much
It's Not Really My Problem
I Wish They'd All Go Away
One in Million had a Thought
One in Million Try
One in a Million Can't be Taught
One in a Million Sigh
But I Don't Really Care That Much
It's Not Really My Problem
I Wish They'd All Go Away
No No No No No No No No
No No No No No No No No
One in Million On Their Own
One in Million Rage
One in a Million Overthrown
One in a Million in a Cage
And I Don't Really Care That Much
It's Not Really My Problem
I Wish That They'd Go Away
No No No No No No No No
No No No No No No No No

Good tune Len! &mdash 10/23/07 - 04:55:48 PM
We all must do whatever is in our power to help others. But most would rather the Almighty State would take care of the problem so that we can pursue our self-destructive lives unabated and with a clean conscience.
Good presentation of a dilemma which simply won't go away and for which there are no easy answers. Well arranged and well sung.
Take care man! [ Reply to This ]

Shawn somefin &mdash 10/23/07 - 05:21:37 PM
The drunken way of singing hit the spot, shwan somefin did that all the time;-). It gives it a cynical, perhaps satirical feel. Together with that guitar and slow drumming. Cool song, especially your voice, that is one awesome voice! To me, the delivery and colour resembles Alan Vega to a high degree!

Continued support &mdash 10/24/07 - 01:21:34 AM
Thanks Jb for your continued support - I hope you are feeling revitalised. Never heard of Alan Vega - just had a quick search and saw he was in a band called Suicide - nice and cheerful - must have a listen.

No no nono nono nonohhhhh...
Everything's off on this one and somehow, that makes everything on... Pretty clever stuff, Len. And dare I say, that it's actually leaning heavy on the side of brilliance.
Everybody's been here at one time or another - It takes a brave soul to announce it so bodley! But how else could it be presented and be pulled off so well...
Don't know that it could have.
No no nono nono nonohhhhh...
Thanks for coloring me smile! Macca

Me again.. &mdash 10/24/07 - 01:47:47 AM
Thanks again - there are quite a few songs on my ipod downloaded from here. I thought they were good to start with and then, maybe weeks later I hear them again and think 'kin hell that's really good who was it. I'm not saying mine is that good - it's just funny how your perception changes on the second listen.

Shades &mdash 10/24/07 - 12:36:53 AM
of Tom Waits on a really drunk night. Or maybe Jim Morrison, or maybe Chris Whitley when he could stand well enough to play. It makes me all woozie just listening.

Really pleased &mdash 10/24/07 - 01:52:12 AM
you dropped by Philip, another name I've never heard of (Chris Whitley) must look him up. Glad I made you woozie - who could ask for more?

staggering &mdash 10/24/07 - 09:34:25 PM
in a lot of ways. my first impression was a cool Tom Waits style of tune. I noticed Philip caught that as well. Maybe a fifth of whiskey and a pack of smokes to get the gravelly voice. ha!
Cool tune Len, really enjoyed it! [ Reply to This ]

I hear The Residents in this dark ditty - especially in the synth break in the middle - also Tuxedomoon. This has a very 80's weirdo San Francisco vibe - a very good thing in my book. [ Reply to This ]

Originality &mdash 10/26/07 - 04:16:56 PM
Yeah, what they say is true, you really have a unique song style. I'm reminded of the jangly sparseness of Tom Waits. I like the 3 note keyboard solo a lot. In terms of tone, this has a lot in common with a plodding T-Rex, but one with style. Cool stuff, lengold. [ Reply to This ]

The song was very seductive to me as the listener. At first I didn't know what to make of it and then at the "piano" solo I was hooked. It just pulled me in. You have a very original sound.

Bits of Bowie in there, and wonderfully out of kilter, from the drums to the guitars, this keeps you guessing - really sounds like you did thisd with real drums. Love the backing "harmony".
