[More or less the Part 2 to this ramble, which you don't need to really read for this journal entry.]

I just now got the message from Ray about this track, "Bears Discover Fire", which he apparently made as part of this band/duo he's in. And so that triggered all the memory stuff that I spewed out in the other journal entry.

Ray probably still remembers me as the oddball protofur I must have been and figures I'd be interested in the music's imagery, because he hasn't pointed me to other recent stuff. And he's right: I think it's cool, and I do dig it.

So I'm passing word of it onto you folks.

>>> Here's the single: "Bears Discover Fire" <--- LISTEN

And here are the lyrics:

and now we drive night to sleep night to bed night away night has ebbed
this is how we're reduced, to our math, and our breathing, this is how we're reduced

we're just bears discovering fire, we're just wolves inventing speed, we're just bears out for hire, we're just wolves

now we're heart waxing white, and then we're soul turning gray, and then we look the other way, the other way

this is how bears discover fire, this is how bears discover fire

now we pretend to self loathe, like a sign under test, a division of fame, of house arrest, house arrest
calculate our embrace, now we're reduced to a valence of 1 2 1 3 1 4

this is how bears discover fire, this is how bears discover fire, and so we drive the night into sleep, into sleep, into sleep, sleep, sleep

and so we drive
and so we drive
and so we drive, night to sleep,
and now we drive night to sleep night to bed night away night has ebbed

this is how bears discover fire, this is how bears discover fire, and so we drive the night into sleep, into sleep, into sleep, sleep, sleep

into sleep, into sleep, sleep, sleep
into sleep
