A Team to Save Us

I wanted to get this recorded and uploaded last night after the kids went to sleep. Unfortunately putting them to bed knocked me out, too. In any case, the first verse starts a little off due to needing to get this up and needing to reduce the number of takes to make that happen. (Typical FAWM end-of-month stuff.)

On a personal note, I missed the rise of the popularity of the Power Rangers by a few years. However, I have kids and we have Netflix and it is one of the shows my six year old daughter and three year old son consistently agree on. (My son's requirement is that we watch a series with a green ranger in it.)

The album concept (repeated from my bio): This FAWM, I want to write songs for an art album I'm working on. Abstractly, it's an art album about copyright... in the guise of hymn filk. The premise is a lonely space traveler thinks about what might be in store for the colony ship when they get there, but due to copyright restrictions only music made before 1926 is available on-board. So, he combines the two.

Lyrics

On a planet once filled with goo,
there now lives humans and puppies.
We were thinking all would be well
but we were wrong or so it seems.
For the goo deep in the ground
founted forth minions of doom
Led by evil long thought destroyed
who would save us from this dark gloom?

We would need a team to save us.
They would need some powers, too.
We would hope that they could save us
They'd just be untested kids.
They'd have doubts and often fail.
But in the end they'd succeed.
We'd know them by bright colors and
how their machines joined as one thing.

Battles fierce and often destroying
large pieces of our cities.
We would need someone to save us
from the doom of our enemies.
We would hope the team would save
precious art and murals, too.
But if only lives were saved,
we'd really hope they'd save all of you.
