John Noir Smith - Chamber Monkeys

Copied!

We are the chamber monkeys
We are the chamber monkeys
We are the chamber monkeys
Hey hey

Just like a blue bird
Under a chair
Too good to accept
Too good to fear

We are the chamber monkeys
We are the chamber monkeys
We are the chamber monkeys
Hey hey

Turn on the lights
So you'll hear us
It worked for us
At the back of the bus

There I was a little quick on the trigger
Which I wasn't in Japan
When I could not load the sawn-off shotgun
I had to ask for CPR on the socket
So as not to get further into the
Animal kingdom than I was before of
And apparently become a dwarf turtle

We are the chamber monkeys
We are the chamber monkeys
We are the chamber monkeys
Hey hey

We are the chamber monkeys
We are the chamber monkeys
We are the chamber monkeys
Hey hey

Biography

edit bio

Born in Drammen, Norway, with roots from all over Europe (as well as India). I started playing music – as well as writing my own songs – back in 2008. It started off with the harmonica, then the bass guitar (which led to a lot of experimental music), before turning to the guitar, synthesizers, ukulele, drums, and more later on.

Making music has become something I really enjoy, and I always hope that someone else will get something out of it as well. I hope one day that my music will go down in musical history, but I don’t really stress too much about it. If it doesn’t then what I made probably hit anyone else as it did to me, and that’s okay too. The most important thing was having fun while doing it, and actually getting some value out of it myself.

I realize that my belief in Buddhism tends to sneak into my lyrics here and there, and my lifestyle as a minimalist does tend to materialize in certain chord progressions and the likes. “Lunatic” is actually a great example of this: two chords (which is very minimal) and references to “dukkha”. “No Reason Why” is another, lyrically, as it contains references to “dukkha”, “dhamma” and being a monk.
I am also a big fan of humor, and this too manifests itself in my music (in songs like “One More Slice of Pizza” and “What If All the Witch Trials Were Right #2”).
I’ve tried a lot of genres, as I like different kinds of music myself. This is intentional, and I may breeze through them all one day.
