- @jennakole - you're up!
Not much to say except I think I lowered the chords 1/2 step from @ragbag's delightful and acerbic tune but kept a lot of them, flipped the perspective, and experienced some verbal... looseness of the vowels (and consonants). Too much wordage, in other verbages. Hiss and all almost-Casiotone music courtesy of a Goodwill Yamaha PSS-570, not sure how old. Should have added some more tones but it was late!
Not a clear agenda here, primarily riffing, so read into it what you want. Or not. Listener's choice. Excited to start at the beginning to listen and also, mainly, thanks for listening!
Lyrics
Welcome to the Feast (tuned 1/2 step down from these chords)
Verse: Am mainly B section: Em F2 E (A occasionally) C section: D Dm7 Am C (I think?)
The dinner bell has rung, The breakfast brunch lunch dinner has begun
We’ll eat until we’re full, it never has to end, we’ll eat until we eat until we eat and eat again
What’s going on in there? Here’s what’s been going on in there…
Take one giant fishbowl, dust the inside first with discontent Silver domes and tarnished drones and jars of condiments
What’s going on in here? Do allow me to go on…
A tablespoon of spite might be rather nice While you’re out, pick up some provocation through your media device
Stir in several malcontents to taste And over time, the contents separate
What’s going on out there? Won’t you find out if you dare
Sprinkle on some malice, instigation can do wonders Sipping from the chalice of privation, list’ning to the pointless thunder
What’s going on in here, What’s going on in here
What’s good enough for us is too good for you What’s not good enough for us is good enough for you, good enough for you
Finally the feast is done Wreckage of a battle that the generals declare was won But hardly anyone, barely anyone Knew what was going on
What's good enough for us Is too good....

You followed up @ragbag's take perfectly, opening it up and letting it breathe with your usual lush harmonies and insightful lyrics. Quite a journey from the @bradbrubaker beginning!

Fabulous morph follow up. I love the vocal layers and harmonies - and all of the food/cooking analogies are fabulous. A lot of great sociopolitical insights. Love the rhythm and groove. Love this!!!

So many delightful moments in this. I haven't been following this morph so I have no idea at all what is going on in here

This is delightful new direction to the morph. How it started with my metal tune and ended up here is a marvel. Are these toy keyboard presets? Ooh, nice vocal slide on "can do wonders." Liking the ending on dissonance.

Taking this entirely on its own (haven't listened to any of them). This stands on its own entirely -- I love it! Love the rhyme scheme/word connections throughout, and the refrain/chorus section.
Love the stretches where the words repeat and run into each other ("breakfast brunch lunch dinner has begun," "we’ll eat until we eat until we eat and eat again" etc. and how the lyrics flow rhythmically. I'm impressed!

Love where you've taken the morph. The laid back styling and the gorgeous harmonies move this into a new dimension. Lyrics are tremendous, moving things forward while connecting with what has gone before - impressive stuff. Fantastic. :-)

We’ll eat until we’re full, it never has to end, we’ll eat until we eat until we eat and eat again This is wordplay that I'm always down for. Stir in several malcontents to taste And over time, the contents separate This, too. Fantastic music, love the (tongue?) drum!

I started with @ragbag via a random song link then followed the morph from the beginning. I like that you flipped the perspective, making this the perfect culmination of this particular morph. The jolly slightly dissonant, slightly debauched atmosphere speaks exactly to the Roman end-of-days feeling I've been having about things lately, really good work here.
