Open Mic Night Wk 15 Entry: M.A.S.H. Theme (Original Song)

verbal-d (71)in #originalmusic • 8 years ago (edited)

Do you remember the American military comedy MASH tv series? It had pretty lighthearted humor and funny dialogue throughout each episode and I remember watching it often with my family back in the day when we were hanging out in the living room relaxing. My best friend Edgar Miranda took the depressing theme music for that show and flipped it around experimenting with the notes and sounds and turned it into a nice upbeat instrumental piece for a song we are working on.

I'll only be giving you my verse but I hope you enjoy it for what it's worth. Giving you feel good vibes and a positive perspective for this memorable track.

Song's Due Credits

Beat Produced by Edgar Miranda

Verse 1 Written, Created & Performed by Verbal D

Full Song Lyrics:

Verbal D
Verse 1:
Just wanna kick it
We can hit the studio and spit it
Play it back and hear it
Vibe to the music, let it elevate our spirits
I’m aiming for my goals with a lance and then I spear it

This is the beginning of the game
But don’t fear it
Never be scared of the end
When we near it
We just ride it out
Buckle up, when I steer it
The space between us
Watch me jump up and clear it

We can start talking
Once I make my appearance
I still got soul, won’t ever see it on clearance
See me on the stage, you can hear the crowds cheering
My music’s for the world, you can play it to your children

So when they grow up it’s the ^world^ that they’re rebuilding
It’s not for their rebellion, it’s thoughts for their own lessons
I’m educating morally, not out committing felons.
So you can start embodying this message that I’m telling.

Here is a quick snippet of the theme music for that show.

And here is the full song, "Suicide Is Painless" based on that theme music. I'm not much of a fan of that title either :/ but the melody is catchy

Thank you very much bro, I'm glad you enjoyed this one and that line in particular is one of my favorite phrases as well. It really expresses the intentions of bridging the gap and making real human connection beyond the superficial lines of indirect interaction. Just wanted to say something straight to the point yet meaningful.

You're welcome^^

I found it particularly moving cause you say the line energetically in the song, so I can really feel your desire. This is so meaningful, though it's not to be taken literally because He is everywhere, but there is an expression in Kabbalah that says; "G-d is in the space between us, waiting to be revealed..."

Sorry, was in my own mind, so thanks for asking...

B"H are the first 2 letters of the Hebrew saying; Baruch HaShem. In Hebrew it looks like this ב"ה. It means to praise, or bless G-d. Baruch means blessed, Ha means the, and Shem means Name. (Referring to a specific Name.)

Sometimes you'll see B"H after a tentative or wishful statement, but it'll be referring to B'Ezrat HaShem, which just means G-d willing.

Thanks for the knowledge, God bless you. I appreciate you explaining that. Why do you use a dash "-" between G-d?

You're most welcome and thanks, may God also continue to bless you and your family with sustenance, peace and His proximity. :)

Though I'm not a Rabbi, I suppose it's not really necessary here to use the dash, but it's from when we'd write God's actual Name on paper. We never erase, or want to damage it. So for teaching/learning documents (not prayer documents where everything is properly written) people got into the habit separating the letters of the Name, just in case the paper or parchment got ruined, the Name wouldn't get desecrated, God forbid. It's also simply not His Name, and is more like a title...

I definitely agree with you on that, we can address Him as God, but its not His true definitive name, yet He has many titles and names, yet some are indeed precise and holy in power for sure. I appreciate your kind words and prayers for me and my family.

Hard to disagree with the wisdom of the sages! :) (Obviously this isn't my teaching!)
The Rabbis would call this habit as a "fence" around the commandment to keep the Name holy...
