Technology is mechanical and contrary to the emotions that inform a person's life. The country music field has especially been hit hard by this.

Crimson flames tied through my ears rolling high and mighty traps, pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps.

Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule.
