it is working as intended was written to be performed at the ninetales event elegant horse, imagine that at the end of 2019. the recording on this page is a 'studio' version created after the fact to capture the piece in as faithful as possible a form to the original performance.
the piece required of the audience to join in with the passages in red, reading from a handout deliberately styled in the same vein as church services. this is reflected in the recorded version with a chorus of my own voice, with deliberately sloppy and flat delivery.
the content of the poem is to do with feelings of connectedness when separated by a vast distance, going on a solo trip in order to find oneself, and realising that the only place you want to be is right back where you came from.
