Art For Art´s Sake - SHT Musik



Here is one of my favorite songs by SHT Musik (me) because it is all about creating stuff just for the fun of it.    The internet, YouTube, Bandcamp etc. have given us a great platform to share our creations and even if I never make a cent from my "art" I really don't care.    I remember the first time I got my hands on a tape recorder back  in the ' 70s and recorded myself singing along to a song by the BeeGees.   You can see that 40 years later I'm still going at it!   So as the lyrics say, "this song is not for primetime"  but I hope some people will find it entertaining.    

NOT FOR PRIMETIME 

This song is not for primetime 
This song is not worth a dime 
This song is my life of crime 
This song is not worth your time 
----------------------------- 

Art for art´s sake fabrication 
Put a face on inspiration 
Here you have my speculation 
My best guess extrapolation 


Open heart to heart
Art just for the sake of art 
Everybody take part 
Art just for the sake of art 
----------------------------- 

This boy is not for primetime 
This boy is snips and snails and slime 
This boy is way past his prime 
This boy is taking his time 
----------------------------- 

Art for art´s sake good vibrations 
Existential revelation 
The high the low the modulations 
Travel space time generations 


Open heart to heart
Art just for the sake of art 
Everybody take part 
Art just for the sake of art 
----------------------------- 

The closer to death you are 
The easier it becomes 
Art for art´s sake hell yeah x 4 (all) 
----------------------------- 

This life is not for primetime 
This life is an uphill climb 
This life is all guts and grime 
This life is just killing time 


Open heart to heart
Art just for the sake of art 
Everybody take part 
Art just for the sake of art 


Art for art´s sake fascination 
With the world and love´s temptation 
Haters call it masturbation 
I am shameless it´s my salvation
Open heart to heart
Art just for the sake of art 
Everybody take part 
Art just for the sake of art

Our Bog Is Dood - by SHT Musik

Image
My song Our Bog Is Dood is closely based on the poem of the same name by Stevie Smith.    She is one of my favorite poets.   She also wrote Not Waving But Drowning which I believe is her best-known work.  (My song and video for that one are here .)   I love what one YouTuber called Stevie´s "twisted, darkly comic style."       Now about the poem, it seems pretty obvious when you read it  that "Our Bog is dood" is code for "our God is good".  Those who profess this are children, naive followers who do not question their religious beliefs but accept them blindly.   However, even between the true believers there is conflict because when it gets down to the exact details of what their God is like "They never could agree".   Religion, in the end, is an individual experience and Smith slyly illustrates this.   She also mentions intolerance for anyone who doesn´t bow down to the children´s God.   The children have their beliefs, saying   "And if y
