A burst of color
Knocked me to the ground
Now centrifugal motion
Is pinning me down
For a conscious reconstruction
While ‘The King’ sings ‘Let It Be’
Atop a pulsing, bioluminescent orb
That’s shaping me
And a joke never seemed so right
And I laughed to myself
At this outrageous sight
I’m picking myself up off the floor
While Elvis is singing a Beatles song
And now you’re gonna
Tell me that I’m dead
And what I dreamed of existence
Was really wrong...
As the room came together
Every second more sublime
And you said, “Should we tell him?
-Man, this happens every time.”
The pulsing quickly faded
And Paul rejoined the band
‘The King’ had left the building
So that I could understand
And a joke never seemed so right
And I laughed to myself
At this outrageous sight
I’m picking myself up off the floor
While Elvis is singing a Beatles song
And now you’re gonna
Tell me that I’m dead
And what I dreamed of existence
Was really wrong...
Don’t forget what you have seen
It’s not dream; it’s not a dream

This recording makes a great workout companion! All tracks exercise my mind while I'm power walking the hills where I live in Massachusetts. Keeps the feet moving for my daily 3 miles. Thank you MFTJ and all Keneally music. rondidonato
I have been a huge fan of the great MIKE KENEALLY for many years. He is such a brilliant talent! I’m really really enjoying the latest MFTJ album a great deal. “What Wally Thinks” and “I Remember When Candy Bars Were A Nickel” respectively are a perfect one-two punch to open up an album! I’ll be enjoying this one for a long long time!! Danny Cavazzi
2001... it was probably just a couple of years since I first listened to MK's music!
Thanks for all you've written/published before/since then, maestro Mike! nespalex
Aussie cosmonauts teleport their art rock to the dancefloor, expanding their spaced-out sound with elements of disco and synthpop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 17, 2022
Pretty avant-pop with simple instrumentation and gentle bite from New York's Garcon No.1 cleverly subverts the torch song. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2020
