The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril!

The Chinkees, "Big World" from Peace through Music (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: The Chinkees (SKApril '11, '13, '14, & '17) is one of Mike Park's three bands that have contributed songs to SKApril, alongside The Bruce Lee Band (also SKApril '11, '13, '14, & '17; wow!) & Skankin' Pickle (SKApril '11, '13, & '16). The founder of Asian Man Records is prolific.

"Look at the sky tonight,
Saw the cold wind breathing through my sight,
Thought about my dad tonight
And asked God, 'Is he gonna be alright?'

"Now my mind thinks I can't give enough,
And I can't pour enough,
And my love is not enough in this big world,
And my love is not enough in this big world.

"Sat and talked to Dad today,
Told me stories, leaving for the States,
Trying to spend my father's time
Learning who this man is I call Dad.

"Now my mind thinks I can't give enough,
And I can't pour enough,
And my love is not enough in this big world,
And my love is not enough in this big world."

My own father's spent time in the hospital recently, for both long-overdue hip replacement surgery & a heart flutter that seemed to come out of nowhere like a bolt from the clear blue sky; so, "Big World" strikes a chord within me that perhaps it didn't not so long ago.
