The Power of Repetition (Everlasting)

from MUSIC is Not a GENRE - Phase Two by REC

/

about

This track uses three "found sound" loops: 1. A guy sitting next to me on the subway playing an annoyingly repetitive note on his ukulele; 2. A snippet of piano from a vocal recording bleed-through of another song; and 3. A snippet of lip squeak from a different vocal track.

lyrics

Wisdom through repetition is my mission. Like a Zen koan about a man fishing – more time doing, less time wishing. Success through failures is my tradition.The power of repetition. The power of repetition. The power of repetition.

I got a learning curve that’s as hard as hell. I start off slow so it’s hard to tell. But when I get going you can feel me swell, and I drop like a bombshell.

My first name is a verb. “Verb” is a cognate of the word “word”. Forget everything you ever heard. The best MCs are the biggest nerds.
Wisdom through repetition is my mission. More time doing, less time wishing. Wisdom through repetition is my mission. More time doing, less time wishing.

The power of repetition. The power of repetition. The power of repetition. The power of repetition.

Two years out and I got this down cold. Ten years out and I still don’t feel old. Twenty years down and I’m still going strong. It’s the everlasting now if you love it all along.

The everlasting – the power of repetition….
