It starts with an idea,
a word
a turn of phrase
a simple tune.
then a chord
some harmonies
and a catchy bass line
the rush as it all comes together
practised and refined
inspiring
finally it is ready!
Next comes the money
beg, borrow and steal
rent the studio
hire the sound engineer.
to create the digital code
Get an agent
or sign with a label
or do it all yourself
You release your original content
and I hear it!
Over the tinnie grocery store speakers
as I restock the shelf.
I don't recognise the tune
it is simply sound meant to soften
the murmur of shoppers
and their squeaky carts
It's not familiar
and never will be
it's white noise that
I'll never hear again.
