about

This tune was written for ZWERG’s younger brother, abstract painter Jared Betts, AKA DJ Jaredactyl. Betts is a huge fan of new wave, goth wave, synth wave, retro wave, etc., and spins these styles of music at his various “Goth Nights” held around Atlantic Canada. Thus, ZWERG knew right away upon securing the album’s historical-chronological concept where his brother’s song would fit - in the early 80s time slot. New Order/Joy Division-esque guitars are played by In-Flight Safety’s John Mullane, while ZWERG rounds out the mix with retro synths a plenty.

lyrics

Piecing back together
Emotional parts
Made by edgy girls
And massive broken hearts

Abstract expressions
Tertiary bounty
From Tokyo impressions
To the falls of Albert County

Jaredactyl
You obliterate disdain
Jaredactyl
With all the creatures in your brain
Jaredactyl

Left the church of hurt
For the church of the arty
And just like cousin Kurt
He said “Why not hit the party?”
The New Romantic beats
Of beloved New Wave goths
Play the multi-layered colour schemes
In the textures of your thoughts

Jaredactyl
You’ll engage all humankind
Jaredactyl
With all the worlds in your mind
Jaredactyl

Inspiration
From the ocean floor
Separation
From that which you abhor
Energy in a mural
Eccentricity of colour
You’re supernaturally natural
It’s the pride of a brother
