Future Listeners, the next generation/Video

We have a song called “Future Listeners.” In short, the song is centered around the idea that many people (including myself) have strong opinions about the horrible course of the nation/war, but are too lazy to change said course (including myself), thusly making us no better than the people that we negatively critique. We’re a bunch of listeners, and not do’ers. And our complacency will unfortunately continue on like a broken record long into the future. Just kickin’ back and listening to Bob Dylan records doesn’t make us activists. By no means are we a political band, or freedom writers, the song was written purely based on observation.

With that said, since we don’t have a live video of this song, nor a good version recorded, I thought I would post an “acoustified” video of it. It’s got a different feel and groove to it, but have a listen anyway. Look out for a good “electrified” recording of it soon.
