As some of you have noticed, I’ve been getting up at 4am for the past couple of weeks. This is antithetical to my usual mode of being, which would have me working until 4am. This goes back to when I was a child, and I’d stay up till 4 or 5 reading under my duvet with a lamp, then have to be kicked out of bed to go to school. Some of my earliest jobs involved having to get up at what I considered ungodly hours - my paper round when I was ten or so, and later my job at Boots The Chemist when I was 14, which had me rising in the dark and walking an hour to get to the job itself, all before the sun rose.

I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE

I don't have to tell you
Things are bad
Everybody knows things are bad
It's a depression…

Finally, it exists. A song I’ve been wanting to make since around 2004 when I first happened upon the source material, 1977’s timely and prophetic dark comedy, Network. A snippet of it nearly went on an early mixtape, then my first album, but ultimately I didn’t do it, as I didn’t want to truncate the sample, and at that time, I was focusing on vocal rap music and had yet to invent Meaningwave, so it wasn’t yet time for a 4-minute plus song with no rapping based around a movie sample.

Early on in the Meaningwave journey, the idea re-presented itself. I could hear it in my head. But I wasn’t skilled enough to bring it into being at that time. So it stayed in my head, and I worked and worked, and song by song developed those skills.

Some six hundred or so songs later, in the year 2024 AD, I was finally able to bring the song I heard in my head into the world.
