about

"Ain't an Astronomer" is a collaborative track between composer Concetta Abbate and poet Chris Carr. The music was inspired by Carr's powerful lyrical pacing. Piano, strings and ethereal voice hover in contrast around the momentum of Carr's words propelled forward. Music envelops lines of text in an atmosphere of both gentle, responsive and reflective sound.

lyrics

A lot of talk of economics and business and not a lot of talk about us..

the humans that live this existence in blissful ignorance,

the people,

the spiritual beings ..

The organisms driven by extinction agendas like dodos and the Tasmanian wolf

Let the chariot swing low with Harriet and save mi amigos from these dingos

We developed tool use and now have

hands on the Kalishnakov

dioxin toxin

Victor Ushinko.

Check the perspective via a telephoto lens that's concave

I got high water and hell to go through to see my empire rise like Mali or Songhai.

casinos in reno

ginkgo from

Zimbabwe. And the lands where the gods play in our own personal enclave

Let the ink go

What happens when humanity faces a natural disaster like Vesuvius to Pompeii ,

Everything lets into non existence like my super ego

I need to relocate to

Indo-china and plot a path that's logical in a world that's pathological

And housing costs dissing to the stratosphere and it's astronomical

I ain't an astronomer chasing morning stars and lucifer

But I am an environmentalist that wants a free state of conifers, junipers not a military state where computers are the judge jury and executioner

All act like my minds not write

You stay calm in a time if nanotechnology, quarks neutrinos and a cybernetic cure for blinded sight

Synthetic Monopoles, chemically organic transistors, clones than control drones that fly silent at night

Putting my full concentration into every rhyme i write

I recall Boyle’s law and Einstein's relativism to the fact that nothing matters ever but every single second is the most important time of my life

Yeah that bind is tight

Pull it tighter till wrists are restricted and watch this clockwork orange sick vivid image I scripted depicted on diptychs and triptychs and this is a business not just an art collective

New dimensions maximum impact global total control triple exes excessive

And sex is the weapon in the battle between sexes and we are disrespected

the Weinstein brothers decide your subjective media experience expressed to the disaffected

How can we be objective

When we have no frame of reference

And ashamed of our essence or maybe we now the power inside this frame with skin stretched around it

I sketch the sounds that are formed by my lips and I use pens, pencils, markers, lasers , razors and anything I can think of to let this ink or better yet blood flood the margin

And drown the reader in deeper levels of spiraling thought that leave the acrophobic discombobulated as the poles switch and low goes to high and the sky forms the ground below and you lose any concept of space placement
