bookmark_borderAudience Appreciation Index

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.

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

The system sucks…
Funk that shit…

The world’s gone mad…
The crazy race place…
Humanoids…
Devoid of civility…
All turned paranoid…
The Earth’s hemroids…
…Now their reality…
… reality…
… reality…
… reality…


cogs and sprockets…
taking their turn…
at the evil churn…
mods with dockets…
trying to burn…
the love we yearn…
cogs and sprockets…
put you in their brackets…
cogs and sprockets…
gonna ratchet… ratchet… ratchet!

…we’re throwing a fit…

The Song *With Love And Rage*

We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding

We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero

Heart And Soul?
What happens when the heart is ripped from the soul? What happens when the soul is ripped from the heart? This song is about exodus of the music committee from Occupy Philly.

LYRICS
Whirring of the whirlybird
Overhead
Bringing on fear…
Dread
Rumors, gossip…
Over what’s been said

Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for an onslaught of the assault cop

Gone to hell
All that’s left…
A shell

Heart ripped from soul
Soul ripped from heart
Twisted
Torn apart
What’s the toll of your goal
Resisted
A fresh start

Press the press
For nothing less
Than the truth
Press the press’s button
To turn on
The wisdom tooth
To turn off
The aloof
Are those in P.R.
Really that far
From reality of disparity
Disparity of sincerity
The rarity of ability
To annunciate their state
Seek their fate

False alarm yelp

How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest

Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends

Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends

Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless

SONG

lyrics
(It’s) Your Move

Written November 3, 2011 at the Your Move sculpture

A giant game piece
Used in the name of peace
Across from where you park love

Helicopter whirling overhead
I still overheard
A voice rise above,
“It’s your move!”

Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace

Contrast Comcast
Cast your system
System of casts
Not, what I am

Move your piece
Move your peace
Move for peace

2. Your Move [Protest song written and recorded on location for Occupy Philadelphia]

MY LETTER TO CITY HALL
To whom it may concern:

Pursuant to today’s telephone conversation, thank you for your assistance. As you suggested, I did contact the Mayor’s Press Department.

It is my desire to coordinate press in two ways:
1) Obtain any positive *copy* covering the Philadelphia Police Department and the Mayor’s office. Any statements, press releases or related materials that can be edited and/or redistributed to news organizations would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for any information that will help substantiate that the Philadelphia Police have been doing an excellent job at Occupy Philly, as well as, being civil and cordial.

2) An on-camera appearance by representatives from the Police Department or the Mayor’s Office. Besides praising the Departments on camera, I would like to review the *move plan* offered to Occupy Philly by the Mayor. If we could shoot on-location Thursday or Friday during a picture perfect day, I would like to meet.

Questions include:
Where can Occupy Philly move? [The area will be filmed.]
Will there be electric?
Does Occupy Philly need any permits? Permits to move? Permits to play music? etc.
Can the move start this weekend?

Thank you. I shall await your advice.

The night’s too long and cold
Just have hope and faith

Lord, bring on the sun

In fact,
I feel it on my back

Do you know whether

Did you sleep through the alarm?
Were you anticipating
No Harm?
The world transpiring
While you control
The switch

You didn’t move
You didn’t twitch
You didn’t love
You’re the witch

You didn’t move

You didn’t love

As the scene
Washes clean
The line between mean
Seems to fade away

A separation
Of a state of mind
When mankind
Forgets being kind

Please don’t separate your state
From reality
Before it’s too late
Please don’t separate your state
From poverty
To where compassion has no fashion
