Liner Notes

the two-faced picture for the palindrome prompt elicited this.

flamen – a priest serving a particular deity
Janus – the Roman god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings

i've lots of lyrics waiting for recordings... so many will be quick and dirty and maybe silly and/or horrible.

Lyrics

i’m here to say: say what? it’s the beginnin of this song.
can I get an amen? amen! I’ll be singin it jus as long
jus as long as it takes ta get da message ta send
deliverin the truth till we get to da end
an I’m’a say: say what? that’s the beginning of this song.

straight out the gate… now what? here comes a transition.
i’m on a roll… rock n roll say what? yeah, i’m on a mission.
i’m bustin into the wild like alexander mccandless
set myself on fire cuz I’m a flamen for janus
so here it comes… oh yeah? here comes a transition.

Time and space
duality
do a little dance
around the speed of c

two-timing two-faced
that’s the preference
passages and doorways
and frames of reference

and now here we go: say what? it’s the endin of this song.
can I get an amen? Hallelujah! ya knew it was comin all along
three straight minutes -- remember how I wowed ya
now the whole shebang’s done and all ya got’s the nostalgia
so listen up: say what? that’s the endin of this song.

Big vocal multidirectional mishmash...

every new beginning starts from some other beginning’s end

Really good how you fit and pace the vocals. The "brass" rocks. Plus the Roman references 💕.
