It's Copyright by Lord Prosser (the story behind the music)


It's Copyright (Hacienda Mix) by Lord Prosser released today by Die Laughing Records has a story behind it. It's like a behind the music in abstract, this punk post rock art piece is #specificallyabstract if you let it and it is intentional. Below is a youtube link to the track so you can press play and view the mob style family chart below and read along while hearing it. I bet you will listen more than once just to the youtube link while reading through this and learning the characters. After that, you are hooked, because, "It's Copyright", in this case, YOU can do that!

This song is available on all download and streaming platforms. You can click on his band page a couple sentences down and find the top five places you can download today.

This diagram was created to explain to you who is saying all this "you can't say that". It's a mob family created in the headspace of Lord Prosser himself to tell the tale of Peter Hampton, society's self created infrastructures and the systematic breakdown of society. The society that has developed in the past 75 years that gets its two cents in while breaking you down in the process of life.

(RECOMMENDED: View Diagram and Read Lyrics below while listening) It's your interpretation ultimately lets you decide what is going on. I almost liken to the quasi-mystery and re-read confusion that can occur with Ayn Rands, "Who's John Galt?"
