about

I had a dream in March 2018 in which I was listening to a banjo + voice record by Uncle Dave Macon, played on a turntable. I heard him singing and playing this tune, with the first line of the song being as it is below, but I couldn't remember (or even quite make out) the rest of the words. "Particular" is a fantastical, quirky number that is loosely about homelessness. It features a bit more experimentation on our part than is usual, including saxophone drones and dissonant piano clusters.

lyrics

If I in particular could find something to eat
I would be perpendicular and walking down the street

If I were particular about the way I roam
I would remain vehicular and drive up to your home

If I in particular were asked to go and get
I would remain reticular and cast a wider net

If I were particular about the way I learn
I wouldn’t keep curricular and find some books to burn

If I in particular could find something to eat
I would be perpendicular and walking down the street
