The Kidnapping

from The Juvenalias by William Remmers

lyrics

"Oh no, he has been taken away! Unshow [sic] yourself!"

8TH GRADE

THE JOSHAA LP Disc 2 continues right on with this track that starts with 7 seconds of silence for some reason. Very poor quality control.

After the planning from before, we are back to the improvised method, recording a guitar part with a vague structure in mind and then coming up with lyrics on the spot after (this leads to sentences I sing and just give up on and nonsense rhymes like "I am..../Oh look at him, running with his whim." But at least we have more movements to this piece. I like the sound of the alien's laser gun. You'll see here my obsession with Eddie Vedder voices (forever one of my stock choices) despite the fact that I think Eddie is an alright guy.

To this day, I have never figured out why the aliens kidnap Joshaa, why they kill his father, and what their master plan for him is. I don't think I ever knew or ever cared. Maybe that's why I only sold four copies. That said, I regret that we don't get more of Joshaa's time with the aliens. After a brief instrumental track, Joshaa has grown up in a flash à la Hakuna Matata and is his full adult self by the next main track...
