Incidental Music for a Scene of Devastation in the Kitchen Sink (now with dramatic coda)
by @oddbod
Liner Notes
I woke up very early this morning and did last night's washing up, then made some music.
Lyrics
...got any more washing up liquid?

I can't resist a coda...haha! Lovely cinematic music that evokes image and emotion; it's only the title (and coda) that make it delightfully humorous as well.
Not sure that this would motivate me to wash the dishes, but it sounds like a great post scrub wind down! HA, love the little coda
I do most of our cooking. I love feeding people. I do not like doing the dishes. This is absolutely the soundtrack to me staring at the sink knowing I should get started. The slice-of-life sounds are the perfect charming ending.
"Scene of Devastation" - nailed it! "in the Kitchen Sink" - sure, why not? Thanks for adding some humor to it haha
Never thought of adding music when I clean up dinner dishes...this would be very apropos!
Really lovely, the swells, continuous, and soft, have me sitting lakeside.
There’s nothing else to say that hasn’t already been said, except maybe: note to self - don’t forget to put Dawn on the grocery list… Thanks!
I'd love to hear this synced to some of the more melodramatic stuff at the end of Lord of the Rings (the films, not the pants Amazon series). The strings are really beautifully arranged, and those timpani type hits are really evocative. And YET, saying all that, picturing the slow pan across a close-up sprawl of dirty plates and utensils is almost more moving and beautiful. Well until that superb coda - which I see @mikedebenham has described in such a perfect way that there's no point me trying. Great outro, sir.
Lovely stuff. The coda brings a tear to the eye. Has a bottle ever been squeezed with such pathos? (And I see you've beaten that Streep thing for least likely song title. Well played.)
Wow, what devastation, what grime, it feels like the scene of a crime! So sad, so lovely.
Real Adagio for Strings vibes here; the absolute melancholy. I feel like that when I sit the dirty pots sometimes, too. If you don't make the bottle squeak into a beat for FAWM 2026, I'll be very disappointed.
Fork it! "Withnail and I" would have been a very different movie with this accompanying that scene. This is elegaic, with the distant timpani striking an ominous note hinting that there may be more devastation to come...
It's just past my midnight. I love the long sweeping lines, and then the punctuation with the kettledrum-like sounds, like the cannon of a distant battle. Very evocative and full of, oh, I don't know, a kind of longing for something that's been irretrievably lost? It's beautiful.
Ahhh. Then squeezy part sets things right.
