Barrytown song Lyrics: "In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled"

 

"the word was hurled"

In 1893 Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer published an article titled “Ueber den psychischen Mechanismus hysterischer Phänomene” in a Vienna medical journal. The title could be rendered in English as “On the Psychical Mechanism of Hysterical Phenomena”. The following was the pertinent passage in German about the beginning of civilization:

"Aber, wie ein englischer Autor geistreich bemerkte, derjenige, welcher dem Feinde statt des Pfeiles ein Schimpfwort entgegenschleuderte, war der Begründer der Civilisation, so ist das Wort der Ersatz für die That und unter Umständen der einzige Ersatz (Beichte)."

Reddit media crowd claims "simple puzzle" in front-page popular posting. Taking "Tower of Babel" metaphor for granted, that language is trivial, that comprehension is simple, trivializing the Babel Tower Climb ARG problems

Reddit front-page: "To solve a simple puzzle"

"By 1973, the band had a six-song demo tape ready for mailing, and Scholz and his wife Cindy sent copies to every record company they could find. The songs on the demo were "More Than a Feeling", "Peace of Mind", "Rock & Roll Band", "Something About You", "San Francisco Day" (later changed and renamed "Hitch a Ride") and "Love" (later changed to "Don't Be Afraid"). The group received rejection slips from several labels - RCA, Capitol, Atlantic and Elektra among the most notable - and Epic Records rejected the tape flatly with a "very insulting letter" signed by company head Lennie Petze that opined the band "offered nothing new"..."

Babel Tower ARG Lift Hitch

  1. Day is Night in New York City
  2. Gonna sail away
  3. Freedom on my mind
  4. I've got to crack this ice and fly
  5. Words of Hell their minds are into
  6. People freeze the tears
  7. Head for the other side

 

Day is night in New York City
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living thing that's died

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom of my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh, yeah

Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hell their minds are into
I've got to crack this ice and fly
Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom of my mind
Carry me away for the last time
