Artwork Notes:
The original photo was taken by Lina Fox, and edited by me, Izzy Man. Lina and I had a photo session in a dance studio and piano room, and this is the outcome of one of those photos. I particularly loved the textures, and once I put it in white and black, I was enthralled by the absence of color and dominance of white space and the black negative space. The beat is predominantly a mixture of clavs and pianos (I believe, or at least it sounds to me like that) and I wanted to use this photo due to the dominance of the piano in the photo. The lighting is one of my favorite aspects of this picture.
Song Notes:
As an avid listener to Madlib, I heard this instrumental before I listened to “Madvillainy” where he collaborated with MF Doom. I appreciate MF Doom and his style, but I felt like such a melodic song needed something else. Without really listening to what MF Doom was spitting about, and with a title like “Raid” telling me nothing about the direction of the song, I decided to write whatever the beat pushed me to write. To continue this theme of Symphony and bringing many aspects into one, I felt the need to address the absence of real lyrics, real music, and rappers just trying to make one-liners without substance. However, instead of trying to be the only one out here doing this, I want to push those very same people to just… do better. Melody is about us being the best we can be.

lyrics
Let me talk about it
I am another poet spitting supersonic on it
Put a sonnet in a ballad
Rather pull a rabbit
Magic hat it
I’ve had it up to here with all this nonsense, nonsense
I am a street fighter, bonus round, smash a car
I chop pathetic rhyme
All the time
Through the bar
Eyo it takes about a week
To sever days
Assassinate the second
Using music as a weapon, uh
Feel that lost time is the most I ever gain
The happiest I’ve been is when I felt the most pain
We go around the carousal
Rather we ride sitting still
Fitted into puzzles
We never see the box
Another day, jobless
Another night, dateless
Another job, gone day
Another date, night long
How long must I keep going on?
Until the stage falls
And I’m spitting in the autumn
I got it yo,
I know the things I need to do before I go
I’m ready, so let me show you
Write into a stitch
I’m itching to spit in acrostic
Exhausted, I’m out
It was nice to know you
Come with me, oh, oh, oh
Let this be, what we both know
We could be,
Melody, oh, oh, oh
Instead of the inedible beats
That most inevitably
Feed into the tongues sitting hidden
We bleed
Let me be the one that has to repeat
If rapping is the medicine
I am just another Asian MD
I die when I cause pain
Like a stung bee
I tumble into vision
As I fall into the see
I’m only disconnected when I find that unity
Is weakening in minutes and we in it, so knee deep
It’s the only thing that your living is missing
Every time I give in a minute to listen
Homie I don’t know if you consider this win
Better say goodbye to the track, this spin
Is on the way to end
Even if I’m late
Though medicated, sedated, I still devastate
Let’s both rock the coast, turn the bass into vibrate
Ripple the lake
Until we shatter earthquakes
Come with me, oh, oh, oh
Let this be, what we both know
We could be,
Melody, oh, oh, oh
I am another poet spitting supersonic on it
Put a sonnet in a ballad
Rather pull a rabbit
Magic hat it
I’ve had it up to here with all this nonsense, nonsense
I am a street fighter, bonus round, smash a car
I chop pathetic rhyme
All the time
Through the bar
Eyo it takes about a week
To sever days
Assassinate the second
Using music as a weapon, uh
Feel that lost time is the most I ever gain
The happiest I’ve been is when I felt the most pain

Rather we ride sitting still
Fitted into puzzles

Another night, dateless
Another job, gone day
Another date, night long

And I’m spitting in the autumn
