One listen and I sort of let my writing drag out a bit as I think I was trying to be “academic” or at least analytical with what I was saying. Do I think it represents the song well? Kind of. There probably is an argument for it being one of the more representative things I’ve written, but I don’t know.

猫 シ Corp. & t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者’s “A New World” is from Building a Better World. It’s the last song on the album and I think that what it closes off is something that’s quite narrative-driven. What that narrative is I’m not entirely sure, but I think that, at least on the surface it is quite obvious. In that way the below is probably less accurate than it could be, and maybe from digging further its accuracy wouldn’t change much. However, it’s a solid album, I think.

I hope you enjoy.

The rain falls and through it the sounds of vehicles drive along. Soon a rattle and synth join in and through them something open and welcoming arrives.

There is some sadness; some melancholy, but this is something to step into. This is something open and vast, and something yet to be experienced. The sounds draw in pulses and slight lingers, and they rise and fall, they fade as the sound of people begin to dominate. Here is something unfamiliar, and yet there is some familiarity here.

There is uncertainty, but there is a sudden draw to a sense of reality, as though what came before was all just a dream of sorts and there was no movement from here the whole time. But maybe this is new and unfamiliar, or at least it seems unfamiliar, but maybe it’s just another day. The new world was what came before and through it a life was lived, but here is a return to the mundane. The dream has needed and it is time to get back to routine.

The sound of people fades out, and there is no rain; there is silence, and the song ends.
