Episode 148-Kes

 

Hello listeners, this week's tune is a super simple ukulele thing recorded in one take because of I'm a bit exhausted and that's all I got in me, (there's a little bit of I guess you'd call it lead ukulele over the top, but nuthin fancy). It's about a character from Star Trek Voyager, (a spin off series from the original Star Trek), called Kes, she was an 'Ocamapan', who only lived for 9 years but was super advanced, especially in regards to humanitarian things, (or universarian....? something that equates in space anyways).

As a 16 year old boy, number one, I dug the moses out of Voyager, it was a weekly ritual and cheered me up no-end, distracting me from my teenage angsty head stuck in a book wishing everybody would leave me the fuck alone life, and number two, I had a huge crush on Kes, I've recently re-watched a little of the show and I'd say it's probably her voice that did me in, I still have a thing for voices.

Anyways, she was dropped from the show and replaced by a character called 7 of 9, played by Jeri Ryan, the writers claim to add conflict, but anybody who's seen her knows they just put her in there to bring in more viewers who like to oggle bodies, I didn't develop a crush on her, her voice was annoying. Also, recently the woman who played Kes, Jennifer Lien, exposed herself to her neighbours kids while abusing her neighbour on her bad parenting and was arrested and dragged away nude, refusing to get dressed, threatening to kill the officers who were arresting her, all of this is in the song, on top of a reference to a chat I had with a work friend whose marriage sounds bloody awful.

All that said, it's just a super simple little tune, hope it's a nice listen and thanks for your time. If you wanna see a Bert beanie my brother bought me from the UK, it's in this weeks video:
