Oh, dear. 180-degree turn, Anyone?
Sep. 5th, 2011 07:42 pmThe last time I wrote a song (I think, if I recall correctly) was just about three years ago (I posted the first draft of it here: A new song, what I done finished, today:.
The chorus contains these lines:
"Well, I won't be your metaphor
For Grace, or lack of Grace,
'Cause I am simply human,
In this complex human race." [*]
....
But over the last few days (Weeks?) I've had this growing urge to write a new song... using the Metaphor of Monsters to describe the Disability Experience -- maybe somehow adapting the metaphors and imagery of this Monster Ramble into something with form, and a beat.
Er... Oops?
[*] That was in response, mainly, to Si Kahn's "It's not just what your born with," where he compares the Angelic-Disabled-People-Who-Have-So-Much-to-Teach-Us to Those-Evil-Able-Bodied-People-Who-Are-Wealthy-and-Corrupt; it's an okay song, until you get to the last verse. Then it makes me want to throw things.
