That Music
Song (1985), from Outside the Lines
This Recording

 Buy this recording (MP3) $0.99

I heard a song on the radio

Sounded like it was made by computer

I declare

The music filled the air

It was coming out of the speakers

On the beach and in all the parks where

People play

It happened every day

 

That's the thing about computer noise

It takes the place of all the simple joys

Of music

 

I was talking to a friend of mine

Said he bought a copy of the song

A computer wrote

And listened to every note

Told me how he couldn't believe that

There were no humans involved with it

Musically

"It's the best in centuries!

 

Set aside all that human noise

There is nothing for these girls and boys

In that music!"

 

I was sitting on a park bench

Trying just to mind my own business

Suddenly

The sound came over me

There were two people with a Walkman

Turned up so loud that I couldn't help

Hearing it

Then all the pieces fit

 

They don't care about technology

Just as long as they can move their feet

To the music
