From ANDRAS JONES: As we draw to the close of our Pop Oracle session with TOBIAS THE OWL at Clatter & Din for Starburns Audio he has the opportunity to gaze into the mirror of his own music with a question about his motivations for making music. You can listen to see what we make of the answer but what should be clear if you’ve listened to the complete episode is that this artist contains such a multitude of names, roles and stories that it would be folly for any of us to pinpoint what drives him. Instead, let’s think about what makes us do what we do. I give my take on my own motivations in this session but what about you. Why do you make what you make? Is it pretty?
Thanks to Tobias and all his friends, Sheldon Gomberg, Noble Monyei, Jonah Tolchin, Duncan Byargeon, Shit Ghost & Brent Jame Driscoll for being a part of this episode. Please stay tuned next week when we welcome GREAT WILLOW with Jamie Mayer & Sander, Paul Zollo, Gary Calamar, Willie Wisely, Paul Lacques & Victoria Jacobs, & Kate Arvin.
Pretty
pretty is a way of feeling caught up in the motions of you
caught up in the world you hold so dear
with all that i could take for granted every little seed you planted
every time you whispered in my ear
and i’m not so pretty though i know it’s easy to pretend that i am you
pretty is a severed feeling a disconnected state of being
caught up in the world that others see
with every imperfection shining every light reflected blinding
every whisper growing to a din
and i’m not so pretty though i know it’s easy to pretend that i am you
and i’m not so pretty though it seemed so easy to pretend that i am you
oh and i guess i’ll never know i guess i’ll never be as pretty as you seem
pretty is a way of feeling caught up in the motions of you
caught up in a world you hold so dear
