Humanity! Humanity! Humanity! Humanity, “classless and free”, I’m the Great Scheme, worship me! Humanity, I crave for fame, Come to bed, I’ll take the blame! Humanity, lost your compass, We love you, you don’t love us! Walk like us, talk like us, dress like us! 2x Ref: Humanity, anti-post-vanity re-humanize and get kinder and wiser! Humanity, you must be proud of me! Depolarize and stop killing your brothers! Humanity, We don’t speak poetry we are the real-fake re-humanizers! Humanitas, you must be proud of us! we are your musical moral advisors! I love you! I love you! Humanity! Don’t compromise! Reunite, improvise, exprovise! Corporate humanity, Don’t ignore me, reach for me! Reach for me, rescue me! Before the monster gets home, Rescue me! Humanity, fresh air at last! Crazy artists, reach for us! Reach for us, preach for us, worship us! 2x Ref: Humanity.... Humanity! Humanity! Humanity! I love you! You don't love me! spoken: People, You will not understand us! We are artists! Real-fake artists! We are epochal, colossal, monumental! We can improvise, exprovise! We are everything you hate! But you? How progressive are you? How subversive? What about the future of mankind? Come on, start a revolution! It’s time for progress and more civilization!

The Cosmic talk: Satan is boring, the Almighty's trendy The Great Scheme of Things has become user-friendly Mankind should quit its job just to start thinking We all are Elvis, we are in the building! Ref: We all are Elvis, we are in the building The socialist talk: We, we, we, are like private property If you trespass, we are friends, If you don't, we're enemies! Well, the future might be bright: there's no Heaven, just a ceiling, and the best is yet to be, now that Elvis left the building! R: We are like Elvis, we just left the building! The couple talk: Silence is creeping inside and around us, You hate my temper, I can't stand your guidance, You are persistent, right through me you're drilling I am like Elvis and you are like that building, ah! The parental talk: Progress is hurting us, we're still medieval, the ways of the future are the root of all evil! We don't find new film and music so thrilling: Satan is Elvis and Hell is that building! R: We are like Elvis and you're like that building! Building, building, building, building, building, building!

We play the perfect music And write the perfect lyrics And then your sole reaction Is "one more time with feeling" We have to be dramatic, And whisper words of wisdom Adore the film and theater The brothers and the sisters How I wish we were all rich and strong, change the face of the world twice a song, Surf the crowd, boys and girls sing along, but we're so far away from New York! New York, can you hear us calling? New York, are you there, my darling? New York, where the crazy people meet All the crazy artists down the street New York, you're a shooting star tonight, New York, are you just a waste of time? Modern people, form a band! Dancing people, do the strand! Dada people, clap your hand! Decent people understand! Filthy people in command! Private people raise the rent! Desert people, walk the land! Holy people, here we stand!

Together we will find the strength To fight against the Universe Together, we will laugh and dance, If I needed you, would you fight for me the Universe? And win... and win! People, you will not understand us! You'll say we're a couple of odd-psychedelic-strange-freaks, but we're not! We-just know hell better than you! Love is the answer, Love is the stupid question Love is the haters’ excellence.... Love is beyond safe and boring respect and love is what's left when champagne socialism is gone! The ’60s are over, the ’60s are over, father, Stop wasting your time with other bands! We are epochal, colossal, monumental! We can improvise, exprovise, We are artists, real fake artists, real fake artists!

about

The Great Scheme Of Things is a new concept for Fierbinteanu, an interdisciplinary project, consisting of an LP, a performance involving dance, visuals and theatrical elements, a concert and an experimental film made up of the videos of all the songs on the album. The Great Scheme Of Things can also take the shape of an art installation or an editorial project.

Created, recorded and produced from 2016 to 2018, the music of The Great Scheme Of Things is at the core of the performance that has been featured in several national and international art festivals, so far. It’s a committed message to Humanity, in this day and age. Its authors aim at philharmonic grandeur with a pop-punk aesthetic, using everyday realities, human beliefs and modern illusions such as love, civil rights, pornography, socialism, capitalism, God, Satan, Elvis and New York, among other topics.

“The Great Scheme Of Things” revolves around two main characters - the “real-fake” artists, the decent man and woman - and their encounter with both the relevant and the irrelevant subjects and slogans of our present days agenda. In this environment, the characters are set for a personal, artistic and commercial revolution.

Parts of “The Great Scheme Of Things” were presented at national and international festivals of music, radio and sound art (Phonurgia Nova 2018, Grand Prix Nova 2018), experimental film (BIEFF) and contemporary choreography (the pilot edition of The Regional Choreograhpy Biennale hosted by The National Centre for Dance in Bucharest).
