Well, ain’t this somethin’. This here song, “Lil Tony Watch the Moon Remix,” it’s got folks all in a tizzy, it seems. Don’t rightly know who this Lil Tony fella is, but he sure did stir up somethin’ with this moon watchin’ song. Heard some young’uns playin’ it, all bass thumpin’ and noise. Made my head spin like a top, let me tell ya.
But then, I sat myself down, closed my eyes, and listened. Just listened. And you know what? It kinda got somethin’ to it. Somethin’ about watchin’ the moon, see. Been doin’ that since I was a wee thing. Back then, we didn’t have no fancy songs, just the crickets chirpin’ and the dogs howlin’ at that big ol’ silver dollar in the sky.
- Makes ya think, ya know?
- Think about time passin’.
- Think about the folks you lost, the ones you loved.
And that moon, it just keeps on shinin’, no matter what. Guess that’s what this Lil Tony fella’s singin’ about. Though, I gotta say, he could’a done it with a bit more…well, sweetness. My old man, he’d sing me lullabies under the moon, soft and gentle like a summer breeze. Not all this bangin’ and thumpin’.
Still, the young’uns seem to like it. They dance and sing along, all giddy and full of pep. Guess that’s somethin’, ain’t it? Music makin’ folks happy. Even if it ain’t my cup of tea, it’s their cup of somethin’, and that’s gotta count for somethin’.
Now, they tell me this song is a “remix.” Don’t rightly know what that means, sounds fancy. Like takin’ somethin’ old and makin’ it new, I reckon. Like patchin’ up a quilt, usin’ bits and pieces from here and there. And if it makes folks happy, who am I to say it’s wrong?
Heard some folks talkin’ ’bout “BPM.” Thought they were talkin’ ’bout blood pressure or somethin’. Turns out it’s about the beat, how fast or slow the song goes. Well, this “Lil Tony Watch the Moon Remix” is fast, I’ll tell ya that. Like a runaway train, clickety-clackin’ down the tracks.
Then there’s somethin’ called “SoundCloud.” Sounds like a cloud full of sounds, which don’t make much sense, if you ask me. But I hear it’s where folks go to share their music, this Lil Tony fella included. Guess it’s like a big ol’ town square, where everyone can come and sing their songs.
And they talk about “samples” and “covers” and “remixes.” Makes my head spin, all this talk. Seems like music these days is like a big ol’ stew, everyone throwin’ in their own ingredients. Some folks like it spicy, some like it sweet. Me? I just like it simple. A voice and a guitar, maybe a fiddle if I’m feelin’ fancy.
But this “Lil Tony Watch the Moon Remix,” it’s got folks talkin’. And maybe that’s the point, ain’t it? To get folks thinkin’ and talkin’ and shakin’ their hips. Even if it’s loud and fast and makes my head spin, it’s got somethin’ to say. Somethin’ about watchin’ the moon, about time passin’, about findin’ joy in the noise.
So, go on, listen to this “Lil Tony Watch the Moon Remix.” See what you make of it. Maybe you’ll like it, maybe you won’t. But one thing’s for sure, it’ll get you thinkin’. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll make you look up at that big ol’ moon and smile. Cause ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little moon watchin’, no matter how you do it.
