Collection: The Worm
WORM - The Worm Wakes
Lyrics:
Future, what is up?
Why are you making strange sounds?
This is not the norm

You’re not supposed to
Emit noise of any kind
But I’m hearing shit

Shit that sounds creepy
And from a different time
I’m really scared now

June, you’re right, come here
Something is really fucked up
This thing just turned on

June enters

What did I tell you?
Why don’t you listen to me
We can hear it now

There are no speakers
Attached to this contraption
Nothing to make sound

The only answer
That makes any Physics sense
Is the wormhole lives

We don’t understand
We don’t have to understand
Just stand back

Release notes
The Worm starts to come alive as Tilla types.

Meanwhile there is an explosion at a nearby Minuteman site. The lights go off and on.

This is spoken-sung. June and Joe are in a hard place and they need to get to the surface.

For some reason this reminds me of James and the Giant peach.

Ha...you had me chuckling pretty early on...and I kept chuckling. I especially liked your squeaky female impersonation.

The dialogue between the two of them sums up a lot and reminds me a bit of my car service station when I bring my car there because it makes strange noises.
At the point!
Your female voice is impressively high!
The sound or soundtrack is ominous and eerie - I can well imagine the living (what else?) wormhole!

i love that opening dialog and the minimalist music behind, but feel the verses deserve more melody. id like to hear this charachter break out into song rather than continue in the style of an elevated monologue. There is a dramatic increase building to June's musical entrance,,,,but it is an increase in intensity rather than melody. it is like those passages in opera in which dialog is delivered through a more sophisticated form of shape singing.

I laughed out loud when June said, "Don’t fucking guess, and don’t believe me. Just go in the fucking room and listen, you prick." Really creative stuff - like an underground mini-opera. The cursing and faux-female voice makes it even more amusing. The fuzzy/yesnoyes music provides the requisite apocalyptic atmosphere.

First, I LOVE that female voice, haha. What an acting performance with the two voices! Brilliant.
"Future [...] You’re not supposed to
Emit noise of any kind
But I’m hearing shit"
LOL!
Well, I have to thank you for this song. Great use of the creepy backing track and of the noises. The dialogue is both hilarious and evilly profund. You made my day.

Like being taken away on a journey not expected, portals are opening and there is no going back! And then it fades after it goes.

If Jeff Vandermeer was making albums instead of writing mind-blowing avant-garde science fiction, THIS is EXACTLY what they would sound like. This is *so* much my sort of thing. Even down to the ominous Area X breathing noises at the end.
