song 068 : First of a New Breed (DNA + Outtakes)
I was going for a Roger Daltrey vocal in a full out classic rock mode but the point of the song is the desire to break free from the familiar. Ironic, oh yes!
“I don’t know what I want but I know what I am not” is a good place to start because you can’t change the world until you change yourself. Changing yourself changes the world.
But the song also captures the irony of rock and roll, now something more reenacted than pioneered, its burning torch for life a spark encased like insects in amber in the clichés of TV commercial hit song snippets.
In a way First of a New Breed is a portrait of rock’s ultimate impotence. The clock was turned back. The man with a plan proved stronger than the bands. But the song is also a reminder that the process of social evolution is far from over!
