The inspiration for this song was from a poem written by my good friend Scott Bonadonna, which I heard music in and he let me add a few lyrics to it, to create this ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ A Plea To The Artists...
Lyrics
Fine tuned skills so quickly lose,
While waiting on tomorrow's muse
The fiddle, the riddle, the kettle drum,
The softened touch of the painter's thumb
The passion, abstraction, the drive and pep,
The precise placement of the dancer's step
Blind mind to the eye, all unravel and fray,
The creeping slowness of withering decay
My words are a plea to the artist,
Disturb apathy, destroy apathy
My words are a plea to the artist,
Signed Mel
PS: The post script, this poem does not end
For the words of the singer and the message to send,
Words of the singer and the message to send
Twisted silver on stone,
Copied poems of the past
Carved pieces of wood,
Coloured gardens and glass
Sculptured statues flesh in stone,
Of conception and form
Photographs of life,
Captured brilliance as it's born
Chorus
Ink on paper, notes in the air,
Words to the winds with emotion and care
Everyone's song is their own unique love affair,
Art expresses us, the kindness and despair
Chorus
Apathy is the ever increasing problem in the decay of "civilization" and the artist are the first to be depreciated since "society" has such low regard for the arts and too much regard for the $ and those who flaunt and chase after riches in obscene displays in pop "culture" Your plea is much needed and well performed. Loved it. \m/

Yes, indeed now it feels to me that we may be hitting rock bottom with the arts, and like you say, Pop, and of course "modern" art, how much further can we fall? Will we scrape the bottom for a while still? It seems that the more and more shallow art becomes...there has to be an end point where humanity wakes up and says ENOUGH to the depravity. I hope it's in our lifetime beautiful @lk666.

I may be just a little too high right now, but I think we haven't hit bottom yet but we're on our way there. I also think the only thing that could reverse the current trajectory would be a rejection of modernity and a return to the days of hunter/gathering culture, living as part of nature and not separate and above it. I'm sure to some that makes me tin foil but WGAF right? :D

I believe that too, everything must be decentralized. Traditional society values mixed with modern tech.

That song and lyrics stirred up so much emotion in me I just can't describe the high! I can't find the words either. You have a way of bringing the message home and it hits me hard! In a good way of course. I feel like you threw down a challenge and I accept! I'll be on open mic next week. Infucking credible girl!

I have some musician friends and it's always difficult for me to give them feedback, not being musically inclined myself.
However, I listened twice times and enjoyed your voice and message :) I need to make more art!!

That's freekin' AWESOME!!! I'm so happy you liked it and I love how you use your art to smash Apathy right in the face, as well as bring humour with it too. There's a wonderful quote that comes to mind:

Apathy is going to need a dentist ! XD
Yep, if you go out with the truth guns blazing, you'll be shunned, marginalized and figuratively/literally killed to death :O

Yeah, I wish I had your talent of humor mixed with truth...guns blazing is how I roll and I've made my fair share of enemies, not too many here yet, but it's early in the game LOL!!

Maybe I'm a too "tactful" :-r I think in this day and era, NO ONE wants to have their bubbles burst. Not only that, but no one wants to be challenged and few can really tolerate opposing ideas...
So I'm pretty low key... even the art is low key... who in their right minds doesn't hate spam or inflation, for example... I'm wading in the shallow end of the truth pool XD
I hope we can always have an environment where ideas can be compared without rage or shunning, but that's kind of a pipe dream!

Brilliant stuff Lyndsay.
I don't know why but I can imagine the lyrics being sung by Serj Tankian, it feels very System of a Down to me.
Imagine it with one of their thrashy metal tunes behind it, epic!

Thanks, sometimes on #DTube it takes a while for the video to get loaded. Also, using DTube, it automatically takes the first tag, and there's nothing I can do about it. I appreciate you trying to listen. :)
