Every time one door closes, another is blown off its hinges.
Jet Black Airlines is the current music project of Scott Thomas Smith aka theneonheart(.com)
The new, improved incarnation of Birds on Foot. See how we've evolved!? Anyway, I thought it was a cool name and it wasn't really a conscious this-to-that thing with the flight whatever, but JBA differs from BOF in that I'm using more types of instruments, I have a midi keyboard and some cool mixing software, and I'm experimenting with a lot of sounds to make some weird ass music hopefully.
You told me
all that old familiar
music that I listen to
is the consequence
of poor choices
never looking into possibilities
or taking chances
and I have to agree
because you’re in my head
If I must continue
to echo off of you
I know that someday soon
I’ll choose to fall
back to the floor
You get so much time
to tell me what to think
I can’t get a word in
edgewise, sideways, or however
else to think
It’s not like making a difference
ever changed a single thing
but if I can’t get rid of you
I’ll just drain out the kitchen sink
and
Realize the question of who’s running
this whole place
is more confusing than the question
of who’s up in your damn face
the problem with discussion
is you have to listen to
the person that you hate
If I must continue
to echo off of you
I know that someday soon
I’ll choose to fall
back to the floor
If I could run out, some path I really chose
some path that I could make
I’d burn the brush behind me
in a swath, my hands would shake
I’d turn round and watch the flames rise
and I’d keep spinning as the ashes popped
and flaked, the fringes of decisions
that were impossible to make
beneath a sky that wasn’t tempted
to ever open and shine upon my face
I will scream at it for waiting and make it
echo out my name

Has a bunch of my old songs as ‘Birds on Foot’
This is from a bunch of lyrics that I haven’t done anything with yet for an imagined album called ‘Participatory Isolation Experiments’ that I might use for this February Album Writing Month.
