"Art as Alibi"
This is likely the closing track and features a very long spoken word outro.
I am fairly certain the song I am sharing in this post, "Art as Alibi," would work best as the album closer for my new concept that I titled Happy People. It's yet another track likely influenced by the drone genre that also greatly relies on spoken word vocalizations, especially during the outro part. Although this latest collection of song blueprints only totals six, I believe it would still be well over forty minutes, as the last two would be around ten to fifteen minutes long. (The first audio file contains the song ideas, which relied mostly on jam session from two years ago. The second one is a long rant that I made a few hours ago to wrap up the weirdness of the last few weeks, as well as the last four or five years.)

(Long rant - 9-7-25. My spoken word poem is at 39:00)
First Part (0:00 - 5:39) (v1) Temptation or entrapment Art as alibi Temptation or reflection Art as alibi Temptation or call to arm Art as alibi Temptation or shallow charm Art as alibi (v2) Lost vision But gained a life The extra tease To flag the ice Retraction Line of sight Vocal reaping An honest frame (chorus) Art as alibi Still art as alibi Art as alibi Still art as alibi _______________________________________________________ Second Part (5:45 - 10:54) (v1) Evicted earth Spared paradise Strike the glow Safe nuclear (v2) The young as pets The steps revolved A petty footprint Commercial coda (outro) Art as alibi Still art as alibi Art as alibi Still art as alibi (robot-voice spoken word) Individualism might be the most useful and progressive political philosophy one could ever place their faith, if any given society decided to promote the intake of mass propaganda on an issue-by-issue basis with a more efficiently free and open approach, while also trying to avoid getting fucked in the ass by all the manipulative bullshit of tribal allegiances. If such an age of transparency comes to exist, best of luck, because it's not an easy road to maintain when you become immersed in all the nefariousness of identity politics. ____________________________________________________________________________ Third Part (10:55 - 17:51) (outro) Where you buy your food What cashier you use What color in your blood On your hat, who you love Currency and chemicals Baseball team and god you push Party and platform blocked Where you keep your money locked How you cut your hair and dream What day you rest, what blade you clean Shapes and numerology Signs, symbols, sexual scenes Names you keep, blessed and forgotten Speech and how you raise your demons Viewing habits and history Likes, subscriptions, and origins Thoughts like concubines Thoughts like concubines And art as alibi Still art as alibi What quarterback you pledge your meat What celebrity you fuck delusionally Cunted minds, like cobalt mined What guilt, what shame, what traditional blame What trigger, what symptom What insect, what sanction Boycott, disunion What context, confusion What second opinion What medical jargon Political purity What news from the pharmacy What more can be denied What conflict in disguise Art as alibi Art as alibi What frequency to deafen What charity to question Transparency of sabotage Snap your photo, trace your cause Track your inner sanctuary Lead the witness then leave them buried When sleep is finally sacred When cancer faked, what fiction baited What vendor, what power What tuning, what tower What influencer devoured What kingdom empowered What link to the fire What troll to unfollow What email provider What movement to swallow
