New York City – ExperiMental Music

Doing the same thing over and over agin’
Thinkin’… this time it won’t be the same
That’s just insane
Doing the same crime throughout time
Stuck in a rut of the moral lame
Slain our own brain

Appropriation
Of the Indian nation
Finding ourselves
In a sticky situation

Hypocrites fighting agin’ immigration
Thinkin’ we’ll be the ones to survive a purification
Hallucination
But yes indeed through our greed we succeed
In winning the war on self-mutilation
Degradation

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Capo 2
Em G/Em
Em Am
Em C D Em

This song is about hating hate. I’ve been assaulted by the police more times than anyone I know. I’ve been assaulted by police in Montgomery County, Chester County and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I’ve witnessed police and federal agencies assaulting people in many more locals. It has never been about race. After reading a bunch of racist posts about police brutality and corruption, I go on to read hate posts about immigration. Hello, Earthlings?!?! Is there anyone home? (Still no sign of intelligent life.)

The video features articles, pictures and footage of police intimidation, police brutality and police corruption by The Doylestown Police Department, The Whitpain Township Police Department, The Lower Providence Police Department, The West Chester Police Department, The Philadelphia Police Department, Homeland Security, U.S. Fish And Wildlife, U.S. Park Rangers and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Times Square NYC

Posted on September 27, 2012 by admin

This song was written and recorded at Times Square, New York, NY.

This song was inspired by the all those who have immigrated to the USA… those that have passed through Ellis Island… and… anyone who has been forced to an island before becoming a citizen. A similar tragedy is happening right now in Australia at Christmas Island. Hmmmm… Christmas Island… an ironic name of a place to send misfit refugees?

A song about the thrill of watching humans run in their self-created rat race.

Audience Appreciation Index

Posted on March 26, 2012 by admin

It has been quite some time since I’ve posted about the Tunesmith Adventures. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been thoroughly enjoying the audiences. I have been. Though I would like to film more of the adventures, live subjects can be tricky.

Anyway, the audiences have been great. One of my favorite times was in the Spring of 2011. I was sitting at the corner of Ridge and Butler in Ambler, Pennsylvania. A school bus with tinted windows stopped at the light in front of me. I thought the bus was empty and just kept playing my heart away. All of a sudden, a bunch of the windows opened and all these kids started screaming and clapping. Wow! What a thrill.

Nick Does a Flip While I Play Jigging Music

Speaking of thrills, there seems to be an outbreak of people inspired to do *human tricks* whenever I start playing my jigging music. The Spring of 2012 has brought many a thrill seeker. Several interesting characters have co-operated in West Chester, Pennsylvania to bring great entertainment to the people. There is a guy that likes to do bike tricks over my head… and another fellow, Nick, who likes to do flips and jumps off the adjacent wall… sometimes it will just be a group of children ranging in ages from 2 to 92 that breakout into a spontaneous dance troupe. You all are more fun than Vaudeville, a sideshow, and a 3-ring circus all rolled into one.

I thank each and every one of you. From those who come up because they feel compelled to offer me money, to those who roll down their windows shouting out with a wave and a smile — THANK YOU!

Sincerely,
Daniel Brouse
