A chance encounter

Posted almost 4 years ago



I walked into my sisters house and this was blasting on the sound system

"So what is it about?" I asked

She said, well, Graham said " Hieronymus Bosch was a Flemish artist from the whatever century whose most famous work (a triptych), "The Garden Of Earthly Delights," is on display at the Prado museum in Madrid. I've always been in awe of his work and not long after visiting the Prado and witnessing his paintings up close, I composed the song. I was merely attempting to capture some of the rather bestial, carnal and quite frankly out to lunch atmospheres that the painting portrays so vividly, setting my vision of immoral chaos to more modern times without being either pedantic or literal. It is a fun little number, I must say."

Good tune

    Sounds a little like Elvis Costello.  I like.

    It sounds great.  Finally, a song not about romance.  Allmusic.com recommended instead other songs from this CD, none of which sound as good as this.  Maybe they should hire you to separate the wheat from the chaff.
