Salaryman by hamst3r

Description

The track is about the pencil-pushing wage-slaves of Japan who grind their lives away for their paycheck to the point that they have essentially no life outside of constant work.

If you check out Youtube you can see many videos of these salarymen in a complete daze, sleeping on the ground, futilely attempting to walk up the downwards escalator and so on. This is the common Japanese businessman.

This song is a somber trip in to comatose existence of one such salaryman. He has a cat, he likes pachinko, he has a couple fetishes and he’s been contemplating various methods of suicide. Yes, there are lyrics.

This would be good song to listen to along with "lawyer liar" by morrisey Slavery still exest in not so easy to see ways. Opression is a sad force that abuses people and takes their souls.

Could this be the emo sound for the masses and I'd be happier! I like this song, it puts you in a contemplative yet relaxed state that's good when you feel sad or nervous.
