Lyrics
It's oddly satisfying That the little things can appear As long as you keep looking out It's vaguely mystifying How the mundane can align A simple confluence of time Ooo Is man the measure of all things Or is it just a dream Ah ooo Ah ooo
Plague Beats opener: little things appear if you keep looking: mundane alignment, man the measure of all things or just a dream.

Track one on Plague Beats, Vol. 1 (September 21, 2020), a six-track beat tape at roughly one minute per track. Luke solo, same pandemic season as Masks and Monsters and Moving to Canada. The title borrows the oddly satisfying video genre (ASMR alignment, things that fit perfectly) and whispers a little philosophy over a plague-era beat.
The bridge is Protagoras in a minute, is man the measure of all things / or is it just a dream, the same homō mensura gag that runs through Derrida Makes a Différance and Don’t Know Much, here compressed to a beat-tape sigh that dissolves into ah ooo. It’s the one serious line on the EP; everything after it is a joke.
Written, performed, and mixed by Luke Francis Walton.
