I get along alright I guess it’s something I can live without I keep on living my life I’ve made some changes, grown so much and I’m proud I guess it’s true it stays with you but you keep on moving forward try to feel something bending over backwards just to heal one thing keep on moving foward I get along alright I guess it’s something I can live without I keep on living my life I’ve made some changes, grown so much and I’m proud I guess it’s true it stays with you but you keep on movin’ forward try to feel something bending over backwards just to feel nothing

I got a feeling like Proust I smelled American Spirit Blues when I kissed you what could I do and when I look in your eyes I knew those eyes bright blueish eyes he had ghoulish eyes and when you touch me there it takes me there it’s troubled air it’s under heartbreak his touch is with me still his silence with me still his voice is with me still I wish it wasn’t

about

A small album commissioned for "Project Scream," a project by The Center for Integrated Media at CalArts and viralnet-v4.net

viralnet-v4.net/2019/03/10/project-scream-2/

Cali Bellow’s “Introducing: Ben Banana” draws upon screams as both collective events and powerful—if temporary—acts of catharsis. The screams heard in the piece are lifted from (A) fans at The Beatles’ legendary appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and (B) a live interview with composer Laurie Anderson (conducted by Debbie Millman for Design Matters) in which Anderson asks her audience to scream with her as a moment of collective release.
