"You never met one like Thrombo Hemi..."

in #music7 years ago

Here I present both video and music as a fun form of Experimental Art. This song was written in one take. I just hit record and Chainsaw Red played the song directly from the Ether. By the time we reached the two minute mark, and the final line, it is clear that we have captured lightning in a bottle and he laughs through the last line. We built on the track from there... but we kept the laugh in. To my mind, this song continues the Prophetic tendencies of 'DISASTA' (the 2016 Chainsaw Red LP it hails from); heralding the journey of a very strange man through a very strange land. The video features consummate comedian/actor T.J. Moreschi; the actor I thought was most capable of portraying Thrombo Hemi. The really beautiful camera work is from all around artist of everything Kassandra Queeno; with her sister Taylor working Assistant Camera. The more mundane looking shots are all mine. I combine black and white and color for this one; to better emphasize the stark duality of Life in the Modern World. I have also transcribed the lyrics below for further edification. Now you can play the game, "Which nipple is Chainsaw Red and which nipple is Doctor Kitty?" Enjoy!

there's many Strange Men
you might know many
but you never met one
like Thrombo Hemi

he's a man on his way to the End of the World

seeking Salvation
in south alabamm
we walked to the Station
with it right in his Hand

and he went on a trip to the End of the World

and he rode with the horses in the Ebony Dawn
and fell where the Plants growed like Water
he danced for the Sun and he met Someone
and they bore a Daughter

she was raised
on the High Plains
where the Buffalo
flew in the sky

and all of the Mothers
that gathered around
they never
understood why

there's many Strange Men
you might know many
but you never met one
like Thrombo Hemi

he's a man on his way to the End of the World
