FAWM: "Immanuel Can't"

Immanuel Can't

Liner Notes

I read a book on philosophy a few weeks ago... and came up with the title before I even had a single note written.

Another experiment in programming the guitar... there's not a live instrument on this except my horrible voice, lol.

Anyway, I think it's pretty catchy and could be a good one if the vocal was done with more care. The idea is there. Maybe play the bass and guitar live next time...

Drums: Kontakt Just Add Drums, SD3 (just the handclaps)
Bass: Kontakt Prime Bass
Guitar: Kontakt Electric Sunburst through Tonex
Synths: Kontakt Ignition Keys, Jup-8

Lyrics

the old books say that immanuel can
well, immanuel can't
with open eyes we claim to see the world
but immanuel can't

and on your deathbed you might think that things are not good
but immanuel cannot agree, you're misunderstood

and if you say that you don't like this song
well, immanuel does
do unto friends as you would have done unto you
but immanuel can't

and on your deathbed you might think that things are all bad
and immanuel cannot dispute that, it is your truth

we all see through different eyes
we live in a different time yeah, you and i
we all see through different eyes
the colours are different in our skies
we listen through different ears, with other minds

the old books say that immanuel can
well, immanuel can't
and on your deathbed you might think that things are not good
but immanuel cannot agree, you're misunderstood

we all see through different eyes
we live in a different time yeah, you and i
we all think with different minds
but our fates are mostly intertwined
we reason with different rules, you and i

we all know the kind of guys
with one eye on yours and the other on mine
a total lack of knowing there's other minds
we live in a space and time with other kinds
