Flipper’s Guitar: Aquamarine

One listen.

I hit a wall with this one. I think what would have worked best is if I moved away from trying to describe the song as it was happening early on, because trying to keep going with that didn’t help. Maybe I could’ve used this to explore memory in a way that I probably have before. Maybe dug deeper into imagery from smeared or blurred sound.

Flipper’s Guitar’s “Aquamarine” is from Doctor Head’s World Tower.

I hope you enjoy.

Warm memory rushing on, and some sounds could be definable. A voice is. But it’s all warped and flowing, and moving as though blurred motion. Another voice comes through now, and it seems disconnected, almost. It’s there, but it’s disconnected.

A beat comes in and the form takes greater shape. The beat plays simple and familiar. It plays out and follows what came before, and those vocals seem to be slightly less vague shapes coming from the mass.

Everything keeps moving, keeps drifting, keeps vague. Keeps muffled and hazy, keeps drawing long and remains seemingly weightless. The percussion remains steady; the only thing serving as anything remotely considerable as an anchor.

Eventually something seems to push and harm the body, as though it’s trying to get out, trying to force its way, trying to find a weakness to burst from, but before it can, as the sounds fade, suddenly the song ends.
