lyrics
Consider the Titanic
A ship torn asunder by a passing iceberg
All souls aboard in peril danger
A catastrophe of epic proportions
Who were the people aboard this doomed vessel?
The Solvers, toiling in frustration
A problem too enormous to be overcome
With new complexities arising every minute further complicating each potential solution
The Ignorant
Whether passively or actively oblivious to the signs
They carried on with their banal routines until it was too late
Then panic overwhelmed them and ensured their demise
The Dutiful
Assisting others and following the rules
Selflessly organizing and doing the needful
Until they too perished, a privilege to have played together that night
And lastly, there were the Survivors.
Focused with razor acuity on gathering their valuables
Silent in sharing their understanding of the direness of the situation
Selfishly securing their own lifeboats to ensure their longevity
Ultimately the Survivors wrote the history books
And made the changes to prevent future disaster
But only after their singleminded focus on their own continuity
With encroaching fascism
Climate change
Economic Crisis
Disease and warfare
Consider the Titanic
When the next iceberg hits
Who will you become?
Who will you become?
A ship torn asunder by a passing iceberg
All souls aboard in peril danger
A catastrophe of epic proportions
Who were the people aboard this doomed vessel?
The Solvers, toiling in frustration
A problem too enormous to be overcome
With new complexities arising every minute further complicating each potential solution
The Ignorant
Whether passively or actively oblivious to the signs
They carried on with their banal routines until it was too late
Then panic overwhelmed them and ensured their demise
The Dutiful
Assisting others and following the rules
Selflessly organizing and doing the needful
Until they too perished, a privilege to have played together that night
And lastly, there were the Survivors.
Focused with razor acuity on gathering their valuables
Silent in sharing their understanding of the direness of the situation
Selfishly securing their own lifeboats to ensure their longevity
Ultimately the Survivors wrote the history books
And made the changes to prevent future disaster
But only after their singleminded focus on their own continuity
With encroaching fascism
Climate change
Economic Crisis
Disease and warfare
Consider the Titanic
When the next iceberg hits
Who will you become?
Who will you become?

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 8 fans who also own “Consider the Titanic”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved
