The lyrics for this I wrote during the last 24 hours of FAWM, so I didn´t find time to put it to music. After FAWM ended, I was listening to some experiments I had done while learning to use my Xmas Present the Roland J-6 Sequencer/synth. I played one discarded piece and while listening to it I found myself singing the lyrics to this song. Then cut and pasted into Audacity and loped the piece, added 8 String Ukulele and did a MIDI Sax solo to round it off and give it some variation.
Chords are just a repetition of C Bb F + Cm
LYRICS:
It was an odd time to be alive
Mediocrity and liars back then thrived
Old ideas resurfaced disguised as new
Conquest and power once again grew
Peace meant war, as Orwell foretold
Young men off to die as in days of old
Millions starved as things got worse
"Interesting times" as said the old curse

Who used their influence, as they do,
To get folk to vote for big tax cuts
Oh such fools, they must have been nuts!
Ignoring warnings, they carried on
Until arable land was dead or gone
Half the world for humans was unfit
When the climate crisis truly hit
A decade later we were counted in millions
Living a life like jungle Brazilians
Rebuilding took centuries for those who survived
It was certainly an odd time to be alive
Повторяем попытку...
