Op-Critical donates two new powerful tunes for the Harmony Vids!
Campaign. Listen here and lyrics are here.
Op-Critical has given JTM twelve songs for the Harmony Vids!
campaign and promises more to come. If you want to make a video of
one or more of the songs, let us know which one you pick and we will
send you a wav file of the song. You can contact us at vids at
jtmp.org. If you need to write to us, do so at POB 9576, Washington,
DC 20016.
You are free to interpret the songs anyway you like, but here is a description of them from the Op-Critical liner notes:
Not My America is about the artificial divide created by politicians and
religious leaders who want to drive people apart rather than bring them together.
Fear is a social commentary on government manipulation of fear to control people
to do things against their best interests. Fork is from a soldier's perspective,
after he has lost everything, including his soul, and he wants to get it all back if
he can only keep it together. Liar Liar, with a take off of the famous nursery
rhyme, explains most of the lies that have cracked the foundation of America.
Homecoming tells the story of a soldier forced into multiple tours which almost
destroyed his family and left him with no more fight inside, only hope for peace. Innocents,
complete with an authentic mosque call throughout, gives a chilling account of the toll of war
on innocent civilians. Shrub is a blistering indictment of the current resident of the
White House. Wondering paints the thoughts of a husband whose young wife went to war
and is returning for him. Wounded lays out the chaos one feels from being caught in
the crossfire of war and hatred. Ornament is a touching account of a wife who lost
her husband in the war complete with the bitterness of that loss. Fix This
describes the feelings of a soldier who gets addicted to killing and when there is
no one else left to kill, he looks into the mirror and ends up killing himself.
Lobotomy ends the CD with a George Orwell-type commentary on why the masses
follow evil leaders.
