What started as a mashup of Billy Joel and Fall Out Boy has become my best original song. This song is a lyrical journey through the tapestry of contemporary events in 2023.
From the fun clever nods to the
Depp vs Heard trial,
to woke Bud Light and Mike Pence,
to insurrections and free elections,
to social media trolls, stable geniuses,
and border walls,
to fake news in '23, to YouTube killing MTV.
The War ending in Afghanistan
to Israel bombing Hamas,
to unrest over Roe vs. Wade,
to the perplexing question of
'what is a woman?',
to Twitter becoming X
and kids switching sex,
to PTSD as a misunderstood disease,
to the ironic injustices like the Proud Boys going to jail, while O.J. Simpson and Bill Cosby being out on bail.
NASA, Mars, and movies like Avatar,
to self-driving electric cars,
to the James Webb Space Telescope,
and the creation of the US Space Force,
to the wonders of the Fermi Paradox,
to how much vaccines really rock.
I've managed to encapsulate the essence
of the current era in a powerful,
thought-provoking song.
I love to intertwine the complexities of current events with musical finesse.
