NOT DROWNING - MANGINI "Not Drowning" is now available on all streaming platforms. A description of the Lyrics is Below. https://foundation-media.ffm.to/notdr... While listening to the chorus part of this song sometime in 2018, I heard word sounds in my mind and the word “drowning” fit it pretty well. I didn’t want to write about it literally though. Also, the lyrics on this album aren't about personal events or stories and they're supposed to be simple and quickly digestible, not complex like the content (below) that I found. This album is purposefully not "prog" in any way. Searching terms related to "drowning" eventually led me to the word “confusion.” That made me think of the confusion surrounding the findings of Quantum Mechanics. I found instances of physicists and mathematicians saying that the test results seemed strange and “wrong," and that they could not reconcile it with their view of reality. Some said there are things about it we cannot know, or maybe are not supposed to know. It seemed to me that spending too much time immersing oneself in it can make a person crazy. Einstein died confounded by it spending countless hours trying to recocile it with the reality he knew. The myriad of unfounded conjectures outside the physics community conjured up a comedy skit in my mind, yet there is something that is not adding up at the very core of it all and that's not funny. The lines “Not Drowning” and “I will breathe” each relate to the hope of clearing away what is blurring the reality of something in all kinds of situations. For a song lyric, I suspected that singing about physics wouldn’t be as common as the idea of jumping in a saltwater pool. I needed a descriptive location for it. “Backyard” didn’t work, so I used the word “nation” because everyone lives in one. That word led me to “radiation,” as that’s what heats up a pool and has a cool sound to it when sung. Mainly, words come to me as sounds, then I search around and form something cohesive, but try not to sacrifice how the words sound. I thought this might be interesting to know about. At the end of the day, however, it’s just a song for rocking out! And then there's the simultaneous 7/8 in Common Time and a wild solo section for the Musos! Lyrics: A sunny pool in a sunny nation. It got heated up from Penetrating Radiation. But I jump right in, I can’t see. can’t see what’s in front of me. what’s right there; my eyes are closed. and I don’t know, what I don’t know is in front of me. What’s in front of me? still I don’t know, where I go deep, deep down I fathom I’m not drowning- I’m not drowning. I’m being held - underwater. I’m not drowning. I am being held, but I will breathe! A funny Fool on a sunny day. it’s a comedy show, but not funny - nay. So I jumped right in, I couldn’t see. couldn’t see right in front of me. What was right there, in front of my nose. he’s fooling me with all the things I don’t know are in front of me. What’s in front of me? things I’m not supposed to know, shove me fathoms down. I’m not drowning- I’m not drowning. I’m being held - underwater. I’m not drowning. I am being held, but I will breathe! Something’s wrong, something’s wrong I’m not drowning, so what’s going on? I know something’s wrong, been here too long. I am being held underwater I will breathe! Words and Music by Mike Mangini® Video edited by: Digital Arts Representations, Corp.
