about

galactus the world eater made a promise to reed (the stretchy guy of the fantastic four) that he wouldn't eat earth. (but in my imagination) he's nearby one day and gets peckish. he remembers his promise and makes a new proposal: an earthling son in exchange for the earth's guaranteed safety.

lyrics

in the interests of humanity, i bring you fond regards
with Infinity, Oblivion and Death and all--
Eternity, of course; we're a force to reckon with

i'm tired and i'm hungry, and though i promised not to feed
it's such an eon's time ago since i last spoke to reed
but there's something else
that may spare you

i have no children of my own
i'm getting old and i'm alone
a world doesn't taste so good to me

i have an interest in a son
who won't belong to anyone
but me

nothing special--just a boy
i can teach to read and laugh for joy
a companion for my travels
an attendant when the worlds unravel

i'll feed him with a silver spoon
a bite at first, a bit of moon
a piece of rusted little continent

i'll watch to see he slowly chews
and never wastes what he can use

my only boy!
what we'll destroy

Rachel Taylor Brown image

Rachel Taylor Brown Portland, Oregon

Rachel was born in Portland and lives nearby with her beloved husband Jay. She makes disturbing yet ultimately sensible songs you can sometimes dance to.

She sees loads of ugly and beauty in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.

She records with audio midwife and dear friend Jeff Stuart Saltzman and his cats.

Thanks for stopping by! ... more
