This song was special to me; due to the fact it was mostly one take on everything. I laid the drums out first, as a map for song structure. After that I was laying down modulated vocals, not knowing where it was going. I was reading out of my notes on my phone and only knew I wanted this song to be “Do That Thing” for me. Which I felt I bit odd chanting in this haha, but it was the message I wanted for sure.
lyrics
buffalo and the buffaloman
a complete red herring
red evening darkened to a monochrome
you say it’s all the 1’s and 0’s
i say it’s the 1’s and 2’s
peddling palliatives instead of cures
a masterpiece of concealment
you do that thing for me
do that thing for me
do that thing for you
do that thing for me
i just can’t get enough
do that thing for me
do that thing for me
