Sep 14 : "Fast Life" - Jackson and His Computer Band (Paris)


"Fast Life" is a featured song on the album "Smash", by Jackson and His Computer Band (which is the professional name of artist Jackson Fourgeaud). It happened to pop up as I was listening to a random rotation a few days ago. It struck a chord with me because I've been living a "fast life", sort of, over the summer and now through the next few weeks. Life has been very intense. Lots of work. Very little presence here or on Facebook. I've been to almost no concerts. I can identify with "rush" in the lyrics, but maybe not quite with "trapped in an endless turbine". :) Hectic in a good way.

The song talks about automation and the way in which it can drain the essence of human life. The album was issued back in 2005 but it still has relevance today.
