My Sound

 

 

            I tried to explain it

            It’s like

            Talking Heads was the first alternative band, you know?

            And The Clash was the first band to make music really accessible

            Ramones were cool, but their music didn’t resonate as much

            Not with just three chords

            The Clash, White Riot, that’s just D and A, man, two chords

            Sex Pistols and Ramones, they had the attitude

            But I’m still listening to The Clash and

            They’re still rockin

 

            So anyway, I can play the song like this

            (And I play it slow and with technical skill, like the Talking Heads)

            And I can take that same, simple orchestration like Talking Heads used

            (And I play it hard and like The Clash, like I want to break the fucking guitar)

            And yet I can keep the lyrics from the Talking Heads

            Only come to a point and have some punk rock influence

            Does that make sense?

 

            In the background, Stop Making Sense

            And the video for White Riot

 

            I see she’s never seen either band before

            And thusly may miss the point entirely

            But regardless

            She nods. It makes sense

            That’s good
