Today in choir we were talking about our song "Horizons" and what it's meaning is and how we can better understand the song and expression so that we can give that off to the audience. The song is about the bush people from a tribe in somewhere in Africa that got invaded by the British and were killed off. Anyways, we are talking about a section of the song trying to decide what it means and we talk about it being the British ships arriving and someone says something about the bush people possibly rowing out to meet them. Alex, who sits next to me, turns to me and makes a wisecrack something along the lines of "They didn't realize the British ships were full of slaves and they would soon be apart of the mass below." I turned to him slowly and said "I have a boat." To which he didn't know what to do.
a) it was pretty odd considering what he just said, and
b) in it's oddity, "WHAT KIND OF A BOAT DO YOU HAVE?!" was his response. heh.
It's like when, at a town meeting, the speaker says "someone's been murdered" and someone immediately says "I was out of town visiting my grandma on thursday night."
Funny stuff happens in choir sometimes.
