flamen for janus
by @fireball
Liner Notes
the two-faced picture for the palindrome prompt elicited this.
flamen – a priest serving a particular deity Janus – the Roman god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings
i've lots of lyrics waiting for recordings... so many will be quick and dirty and maybe silly and/or horrible.
Lyrics
i’m here to say: say what? it’s the beginnin of this song. can I get an amen? amen! I’ll be singin it jus as long jus as long as it takes ta get da message ta send deliverin the truth till we get to da end an I’m’a say: say what? that’s the beginning of this song.
straight out the gate… now what? here comes a transition. i’m on a roll… rock n roll say what? yeah, i’m on a mission. i’m bustin into the wild like alexander mccandless set myself on fire cuz I’m a flamen for janus so here it comes… oh yeah? here comes a transition.
Time and space
duality
do a little dance
around the speed of c
two-timing two-faced
that’s the preference
passages and doorways
and frames of reference
and now here we go: say what? it’s the endin of this song. can I get an amen? Hallelujah! ya knew it was comin all along three straight minutes -- remember how I wowed ya now the whole shebang’s done and all ya got’s the nostalgia so listen up: say what? that’s the endin of this song.
Big vocal multidirectional mishmash...
every new beginning starts from some other beginning’s end

Very clever lyrics, awesome demented delivery. i’m listening 😎
Really good how you fit and pace the vocals. The "brass" rocks. Plus the Roman references 💕.
