about

"The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb broke our heart, broke our brain. So then we wrote this.

lyrics

BLACK SWAN

I knew it was coming
But I didn't expect it to be so soon
That sudden shower of chaos
Took me by surprise

There it goes I said and there it went
There it goes I said and there it went
First it seemed impossible and then it seemed
Unpreventable and then
Inexplicably
Black Swan

Dispassionate science
Could not have predicted the great unknown
These historical ruptures
Run counter to the facts

There it goes I said and there it went
There it goes I said and there it went
First it seemed impossible and then it seemed
Unpreventable and then
Inexplicably
It was

Black Swan
Is coming
To topple your silly structures
And free you to start again
You're free to start again
There it goes I said and there it went

It came out of nowhere
To overtake and overturn
It's not your fault you'll never learn
Because your knowledge is fragile
You're prisoners of the past

Black Swan
A slow motion dance of elegant destruction
To usher in the new

about

Tendril Seattle, Washington

A few years back Stephanie and Dean wrote a couple songs together. It was so much fun, we decided to do a bunch more. Turned out to be a great way of processing the present day. We hope these songs help you stay sane too!
