Abandoned
there's an abandoned car
i'm sure it's abandoned
it didn't used to be there
and now there it is every day
it's parked on the side of the road
and the place where it's parked is very strange
(i think my favorite concept)
(and metaphor is water)
it's not in front of a house
(water)
it's sort of in between two houses
(it can refer to the ocean)
it's a sort of a no man's land
(it can refer to rivers flowing down into the ocean)
i can imagine everybody thinks: oh, well that car is somebody else's car
(it can refer to precipitation falling down on the mountain)
but, it's been there two months now
(into streams)
first it was covered with leaves
(water is interesting)
and then on Hallowe'en someone threw an egg at it
(water has an interesting sound)
and now there's a layer of snow on top
(water flows)
clearly whoever owns this car hasn't been here in a while
(water seems to be a living thing)
and yet every day as i drive by
there it is
(even though, really, fundamentally, it is not)
abandoned
(water is my favorite metaphor)
at least *i* think so
abandoned
(water is my favorite metaphor)

what a wildly imaginative piece smokey - love the back and forth of the two spoken tracks, adult and child voices - my brain tries to connect them. And the techno track back there just adds this tension that increases - especially with that wild panning around my ears. Very cool!
