Members Oswlek Posted September 26, 2014 Members Share Posted September 26, 2014 I love the way it sounds and I think I understand the point, but I'd like to hear what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted September 26, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hmmm. It's so weird when you think it's really obvious. Then it's obviously not. Know what I mean? I hate when that happens. it's attempting to mean... Some people only listen to things that reinforce their predetermined point of view. If you take issue with something you hear you're clearly listening to the wrong station and reading the wrong paper. Better switch back to yours. Not clear huh? I hate when that happens. Hmmm.

Members Oswlek Posted September 26, 2014 Members Share Posted September 26, 2014 No, that's exactly what I thought so it must have been clear enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhino55 Posted September 26, 2014 Members Share Posted September 26, 2014 Religion and now politics! This is shaping to be an eventful day I think it's great, I got the meaning right away. I'd be careful detailing a turbo liberal. I really liked the way you let us know the person in the first verse was a Conservative, praise of president blue, and her getting pissed. Very clever. I'd like to see the same thing in the next verse. Generic, so it doesn't come across like you're picking, but still specific imagery and then introduce President Red or maybe Speaker/Congress Men Red. Not sure how you do that with that verse ending on American 1, but I'm sure you'll find away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted September 26, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2014 Ha! Politics? I hate politics!!! Naw... It's more about tribalism. So America 1 and 2 are plays on BBC 1 etc in name only and are really meant to be Fox and MSNBC etc. I saw someone on Bill Maher poke fun at Mayer's 100% left audience, the guest was a liberal, and saying the awaiting niche is true balance. No sh!t. Totally agree. We have no balance. It shows mostly in politics but the world seems to be so polarized today. The new religion. Let's kill for it! Uhgh. Ok... It is about politics.

Members rhino55 Posted September 26, 2014 Members Share Posted September 26, 2014 Two parties, two sides, two channels. That's the way it's always been. I think the notion that media was ever balanced is ludicrous, but if I want news I do tend to get it from the BBC. Outlets over here masquerading as anything more than shock entertainment designed to sell ad space is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsadasiv Posted September 26, 2014 Members Share Posted September 26, 2014 The whole lyric should be "Ditto" and the vocal should be processed through an endless ping-pong delay. You can change the lyric to "Echo" if you really want to be non-political. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oldgitplayer Posted September 27, 2014 Members Share Posted September 27, 2014 This is good - more of a sapling already than a seed. Here's a directional idea to chew on : Just as V1 and Ch 1 are about her, maybe V2 and Ch 2 can be about him with different political views - and then end on a Bridge that comments on their relationship. V2He woke up. The alarm clock radio......tuned into the newsCouldn't believe what he was hearingIn praise of President RedThat can't be right, gimme a break, that …………..The dial was set to America 2He switched it back to America 1 C2He likes his echo chamberProtects him from the dangerOf a different point of viewNo windows to see outTo the horizon beyondThose things you say bounce right back at youNothing differentNothing strangeNothing to change ……..In his echo chamber Bridge (Outro)…………………….As they lie side by sideSeparated by the silenceOf political divide The idea is a bit like Paul Simon's lines You read your Emily Dickinson, And I my Robert Frost.
