Golden Slumbers a la Strangenrare
Published 2021-08-03
If you're a fan of Abbey Road, you might just hate this series of videos I'm about to drop, but I have a love for saloon piano from a childhood watching Scooby Doo, and weird-ass culty-church-novelty music gave me a sociopathic lean in my melodramatic flair.
The rest of the "Troll walks into a Bar" series (I'm wearing my nappy hair natural these days) will be up on my #strangenrare channel shortly.
(These are #fakebook readings, so cut me some slack on the missed chords or basslines... I'm still making this up as i go.) I could've been homeless this week, and I've discovered I have had family all along, in places that I'd have thought had forgotten about me a long time ago. "Home" and "homeward" are not concepts in my experiential vocabulary, and though I was just having fun with this song, it became a moment when I said 'homeward' where i just lost it for a minute and couldn't sing. I have a home to sleep in, I have a piano to play on, my son has a smile on his face, we're actively doing things on my 'big list' and I'm closer to my family. (My REAL family: the one I've been making.)
Life is happening again.

I was briefly homeless at the end of last year, and this was my last access to a piano before that happened. It's not so much that the audio was poor--I was just legit bawling (and taken by surprise by it) i think. "Homeward" is such a bewildering concept...

That voice, emotive playing, and beautiful soul that is you Ingrid. When I hear you sing, I feel like I’ve known/know you!
