The Rising by Alarm.

“Tell them that I am defying gravity!” Plays for a minute, then shuts off for four, plays for a minute, and shuts off for four. The cycle repeats for about an hour.

“Cat! I’m a kitty cat! And I dance, dance, dance! And I dance, dance, dance!” Plays for a minute, then shuts off for four, plays for a minute, and shuts off for four. This too, repeats for about an hour.

Then comes the sound of John Clease pretending to be French in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Again, we have minutes of noise, minutes of silence, on and off for about an hour.

These play in between themselves, each minute played is one after the other. In essence, a five minute cycle consists of three minutes noise and two minutes silence.

There’s the half hour prelude of “Razor” by Foo Fighters and the half hour epilogue of “Jenny was a Friend of Mine” by The Killers.

This is how I rise in the morning. Fascinating no? Depressing if one thinks about it. My body so longs to stay cocooned in its shell of fabrics, that it takes an hour and a half to waken the mind enough to pull myself out of bed. I think I might need more sleep.
