the lack of mistakes
digital is a perfect medium
drum machines are too perfect in keepin' the rhythm goin'
see, the music that we all know in love was recorded on analog
and made with live musicians, no sequencer to repeat the notes exactly like they were 4 bars before or whatever
that means, whatever mistakes occured, got recorded, mixed, mastered, pressed, and played for the masses
you hear all the singers wrong breaths, missed notes, flat/sharp notes
all the musicians bumps, twangs, notes played too light/hard, wrong, etc.
all that contributes to the emotional aspect of the music, that vibration that you feel
you really have to go out your way to make mistakes with a drum machine and these digitally reproduced sounds...
even when singin', one can go in and nudge the note to the correct note, etc.

we got music that's too perfect, and the thing is, emotion ain't a perfect thing
it don't follow logic...it follows preferences and feelin's
and then, we recordin' to a perfect medium, digital, no noise
analog, the noise contributed to the imperfection in sound
anybody feel me?
