PARTICLE KID "MUSIC"

"Music" is the new single by Particle Kid, from Hen House Studios Records (2017). Recorded and mixed by Harlan Steinberger. Super 8 and iPhone video shot and edited by Randi Malkin Steinberger. Micah Nelson: Guitars, vocals, charango, percussion. Paul Bushnell: Bass. "This song was inspired by a spontaneous conversation I had in 2015 with Paul Simon about folk music and then later that night I was randomly flipping through channels in my hotel room and stumbled upon a PBS documentary called "CHILDREN OF ISIS". I was inspired by the conversation with Paul and shaken to the core by the film. Sleep was futile, so I instead stayed up all night writing "Music". Its basically a cathartic, idealistic dream vision... my reactionary fantasy message to the children of ISIS. I wish I could translate it to Arabic. The whole idea is probably naive and useless, but it at least makes for a pretty song with a positive message. I hope it bring some joy. Who knows, maybe it can change a mind or two...I have seen music do that." -- Micah
