The day that Bethany died, her goat...
Release
-->
"The day that Bethany Powell died, her goat climbed atop the grave and made such a fuss the Niggers thought he'd been possessed by the devil"
broke up with bethany (bitch on the left). I "wasn't excited" to see her when she came over the other day so she threw my grits and cheese on the carpet and ran upstairs and locked herself in my room.
Anyway, I tried to make this song a depiction of her goat following her corpse as it was taken away on one of the carts they took people with the plague away in in the middle ages but the horses sounded cheesy and the goat sounded so isolated i thought it would be better to call it her grave.
thanks for listening! | |

It's actually not a quote. I imagined my grandmother saying it. She's really old south and I've always thought her racist perspective was extremely creepy. I'm actually a descendant of a wealthy tobacco baron and the fossils of old hardcore racism are still apparent sometimes in my grandma. When I was younger it wasn't very apparent except for a snobby remark every now and then. She's over eighty now though and when she gets very carried away when she tells stories of her childhood. I think she sometimes forgets that I'm in the room when it's just us and she's telling a story and she betrays a hateful side. It's very strange and alienating to see something like that in a person that's played a warm and caring role in your life. I think i repress the racism in my roots in order to not feel very guilty and to keep the positive view of my grandparents. The negative energy expresses itself in dreams about plantations and plantation life sometimes. I guess that's kind of what this is.
sorry I didn't mean to be insensitive. I'm a person that likes to keep a high degree of control over my emotions. When I make music I compensate by trying to filter and control it as little as I can. I should have changed the title though, my apologies.

She doesn't really have a goat.
Maybe the goat is the Anti-Christ and the only mourner at her funeral. lol.
the recording of the goat is from the lucas arts sound effects library and when I heard it it sounded so painful and dark it makes me realize why people used to associate goats and the antichrist.
I really didn't do the bleating justice in this song. I'll try to set it to another piece.

wow.. we come from similar backgrounds, but i've handled it very differently.
my grandfather was raised on basically a plantation.. except that black folk were sharecroppers. and my grandmother wasn't much better. both of em freely used 'teh n word' and all. and since my father has lived with them my whole life, i would end up going over there every other weekend or so. but yea, some how it never seeped into my brain, and i realized how silly it was. i feel no guilt really, the way i dealt with and continue to deal with it is/was by making fun of them about, and making any one stupid enough to be racist feel really stupid about it. yea.
but really i'm sick of everybody giving power to these words. if anything they represent white man's stupidity just as much as the black man's oppresion. so it seems to work itself out. yea, we live in very politically correct times, but i think that dancing around words like that is just perpetuating a stupid situation.

in other words.. if somebody wants to use 'teh n-word' don't hate em because:
a. they are making themselves look like the idiot that they are
or
b. they are making fun of the idiots who use it srsly.

awesome tune. I didn't think the horses sounded cheesy. The story behind this song is also great. And now there's something weird about mermaids, I must go check it out.

Although, I can't condone using the N word either. It's like scratching a wound that has barely begun to scab over. Having said that, I sort of understand where you're coming from. I have a very difficult time when my grandparents say racist things. It creeps me out too.
