His latest release is titled, “Phantom Existence,” which could be a nod to the imaginary “virus” holding the entire world captive, or it could have a more existential meaning as he insinuates in the lyrics. It was released 5 months ago, so it’s anyone’s guess and known only to the artist himself.
I love Soul Button’s music because it is amazing background music by which to write. This track, however, caught my attention last week because it had a voice-over laying down some deep spoken word poetry. A couple lines crept into my conscious mind as I was writing and I stopped to listen to it over and over. I thought I would share it here because it is an amazing observation on society, what we’ve become and what we might be if a critical mass were to awaken to reality. He is truly enlightened, one of US, and the message in this song is my mission in life as well. Enjoy this song and follow Soul Button! All of his #EtherealTechno music is soothing, hypnotic and INCREDIBLE!! (I took the time to type the poetry out below…)
Imagine to be Free (The Concept)
Imagine being an ordinary man
Imagine you would have chosen to be one
When you still had the chance to choose
Imagine waking up in the morning
And already knowing what to expect
As if it were all written in a script
As if someone else had written the program of your day
But
However
Imagine Being Happy
Because this is the way the screenwriter of your life
Wants you to be
He doesn’t like sad, paranoid and unsatisfied people
The people who become aware of the shit they are drowning in
Try to free themselves
Try to get to the surface
They struggle
They squirm
And they become dangerous and uncontrollable
Protagonist or appearance
Whatever your world is
You must interpret it
If you want to eat
To drink
To buy the TV
The washing machine
The car
To get married
To reproduce
To grow old and die
But
Moved by a natural instinct
Man is not satisfied with shit
So, he has discussed it
He has made it desirable
With Time
Just like a clever magician
He has transformed the shit
Into a goal to reach the purpose
Of the new millennium
And to make everything easier
He fooled you into thinking you had a say in the matter
And he has invented the “right” to vote
He has made you believe
That humility and resignation give virtue
And invented religion
He has taught you what is right
And what is wrong
And imposed “the law”
He has fixed the determined view of musical choices
At which you think you are free to choose
But, in reality
You are bound by the space of proposal
Now
Imagine understanding all this
And not wanting to play the game
Imagine being surrounded by people
Who think the same way that you do
Imagine participating with them
And laying the foundations of a system
That
Like a virus
Reproduces itself
Grows
And spreads
Free the people you interact with
From the condition of being manipulated
By an immense system
That produces pre-packaged ideals
Lobotomized brains
And harmless lives
Imagine being free
To be free
To be free
