Well, as you may well know or have figured out by now, I am highly
eccentric to the point of almost being mad. The result of this is that I
have a way of writing that makes others think I am mad, although perhaps
to be less harsh and abrasive like other household cleaners, just a little
eccentric.
"THE LAMENTS OF A PIGEON"
By J.C. Harmer(Jolly Cat)
Oh, woe, the flights of fancy
Who otherwise are nothing
For what in range of colour
Is this grey, this dull, this still
The world upon its shoulders
But the world is down beneath
It soars and swoops like a bald eagle
Yet nothing like it still
Back and forth it journeys
A perpetual loop of gloom
Along its practical existence
The quiet on the still
Ahead it sees yet nothing
Just grey and tolerance
Behind it just the same
The quiet, the calm, the still
Oh gee check it out, you must have just been listening to an Impulse
Tracker song by William Wordsworth the way I can bash out a poem, didn't
that just bring you to tears and then give you a lift home again?
This song is a cheerful tune, however. A tune for those who have lost a
close family relative or a distant family relative who you think was
closer than they actually were. It will help to relieve your suicidal
tendencies.
The creation of man
Along nothing
With nothing
A void
The scant
The breath
The nothing
I don't know what was the point of that.

God rest the soul of our poor deceased friend, Paine Stewart. I urge you
to have a minute's silence to remember the poor soul whose life was cut
short by a plane crash and whose head was cut short by the seat in front
of him.
This is almost what is
known as experimental
music.
For it is not necessarily
just the song that must
be 'experimental' but the
title thereof, and
anything else such as the
sample list.
Think about the laments
of a pigeon for a second.
Just imagine the woes
swimming through the mind
of a bird who is just
'common' and with no
possible other word in
the vocabularies of even
the finest minds of
English literature apart
perhaps from Thomas Hardy
who seems to possess a
range of words befitting
no other, to describe
this contemptible and
ordinary creature. What
a thing of the past this
is.
For those who are unable,
here they are, in

This is a tune which has some interesting points and thoughtful drum work, but also has a lot of room to improve. The classification might make you wonder.. but the song's heavy drums and happy chord progressions and melody leave me with not much else choice as to how to classify the tune. The tune's title doesn't seem to fit the tune, really. It's got some nice sections, and the drums have been handled nicely overall, though I feel they could be better overall. The samples used all sound like GM samples, which is okay, but also might not fit this kind of tune as well as others. The sections of the tune fit together well enough, but in the sections where everything drops out and we have only drums and bass, it really shows how thin the bass is; it could use some help. Also the guitar samples partway through don't fit the overall characteristic of this tune; it almost needs something more gritty there, for added contrast. Musically, there's not really too much of interest, although there are some interesting moments throughout the tune. Technically, the track is done well enough. There are basic effects used, and it could really benefit from more panning, instead of the occasional use it has as it is. The samples are all pretty lo-fi, which isn't bad for this kind of tune; however, they could use better loop points. Also, one or two of them are out of tune when compared to the rest. There are very basic envelopes used, some of which don't work to their full potential since loop points aren't always present in the samples. Overall, this is a tune with some interesting drum work, but it does seem to be a fairly early attempt.
