21st Century Misinformation Machine

about

Lyrics of this song center around the subjective nature of "truth" and the challenge we face in choosing where we source our "information."

My character voice is the manipulated machine. Can we live in a world without "deception?"

This track was co-produced with Scottish producer Sam Cracknell and ATX producer and engineer William West (who also produced 'The Captain'). It features violin work by Kansas City native Shane Borth, my colleague in multi-media performing arts group 'Quixotic.'

The vibe is very driven, modern, & "machined" and while very different than my more pianistic works, it still has some piano and fun keyboard colors.

lyrics

I’m a 21st century misinformation machine,
I take your trust, I twist it up, I tell you what to think,
I tell you what and how and who and I'll tell you when to scream.
I'm a 21st century misinformation machine.

Your emotion is the ocean that builds up my big wave.
I surf and ride the chatter like the books thrown in the grave.
You can share and like and love and hate and fear and spin the rage,
The chaos is my playground I divide and manipulate.

Ooh ooh.

Truth is an illusion when you're living your own dream,
You can find your saints and pray for strength and stay broken anyway,
Say your peace, go and preach, and march on with your tribe,
I'm the seeker, creator, destroyer, I'm the lie.

Ooh ooh.

Who knows if we could live in a world without deception.

I'm a 21st century misinformation machine,
Pull my plug, I won’t shut up, I'll haunt you when you dream.
I'll tell you what and how and who and I'll tell you when to scream,
I'm a 21st century misinformation machine.

Ooh ooh

Who knows if we could live in a world without deception.
