My Contraption

Here’s the plan for my contraption;
let’s build it now.
Clear a space on my face for construction;
my head is the foundation.
Just flip the switch,
engage the gears.
Pull this lever
then I’ll start perceiving.
Consciousness is my contraption;
it works OK.
If there’s a hitch or a glitch in its function,
it’s hard to say.
Plug me in.
Set me up and turn me on.
The collapse of my contraption
will come some day.
But for now I know how to spark connection
and how to keep it going
Flip the switch,
engage the gears.
Pull this lever
and start receiving.
It seems I’m trapped in my contraption,
but that’s just my perception.

about

David Garland New York, New York

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon
