I walked into a store and understood: this is just like a movie. "Muzak" didn't start out meaning elevator music: like Kleenex and Xerox, it's a trademarked brand that became slang for a generic feature of our lives. The marketing corporation Mood Media, which owns Muzak, "designs" music for its clients to pipe into their stores. Muzak has had a bizarre history, appropriately for a company that employs "audio architects" to chart a song's "topology". Classic Muzak persists for the clients who want it, but most of it is more akin to curated playlists: Krispy Kreme gets 50s diner treatment, Old Navy gets retro and modern pop. Mood Media has chosen to consolidate Muzak into "sensory" or "neuromarketing" – that is, sensory overload that manipulates your buying habits. The world isn't just a stage; it's a commercial. Mood Media has chosen to consolidate Muzak into "sensory" or "neuromarketing" – that is, sensory overload that manipulates your buying habits. The company custom-designs sounds, sights, and even smells. Muzak pioneered the early possibilities of consumer psychology, finding that with innocuous background music, shoppers lose track of time and report happier experiences. We live in relentless stream of artifice, and the boundaries have gone from porous to virtually nonexistent. The world isn't just a stage; it's a commercial. Using old songs and images can make products more attractive, and both advertisers and artists apply them frequently enough. Cyclical episodes of nostalgia are harmless enough on their own, even if they seem more common and quicker than ever. When these self-referential mash-ups become part of ambient advertising, though, we risk losing our ability to appreciate original music in the first place. I walked into a store and understood: this is just like a movie. The company has built a set, and they've hired actors and given them costumes and taught them their lines, and every day they open their doors and say, 'Let's put on a show.' It was retail theatre Muzak's business wasn't really about selling music. It was about selling emotion. This saturated advertising – which works by constantly retailing us emotions – makes us cynical in self-defense, prone to build walls against the outside world. We stop feeling... In a worst-case scenario, we grow so accustomed to the Muzak that we feel anxious without it. And we happen to live in this perpetual, all-permeating market, which has plenty of self-evident benefits. But Muzak's reinvention should warn us that advertising sells to us even when we don't notice it, and that it changes us, too. If we want to fend off numbness and keep the little things sacred, maybe the best thing would be to listen to, and not just hear, what's playing in the background.

What chu want What chu want What chu got to say Can't help but be with yourself all day All that time all that time Kicking round your head Same old rhyme Is int that what i just said? How are you gonna see different things if you haven't bothered to step out To be out To be put up In someone else's spot Street corners behind the 7-11 All over the place Hating yourself Hating yourself Better than you Listen Better than you f--- Better than you Better friends with people Better with the ladies- Every one likes Ted! Ted says the funniest things Just the other day he told me I couldn't do s---! A complete involate! OOPS better pull the trigger Gun in my mouth Hit play on my netflix account I'm here all day folks Yea 2 boxes of cereal Laundry rotting in the washing machine I got a two bedroom with a bay window So I can watch the sun rain and snow All the pleasures I was not meant to know Get up sonny it's a brand new day! I'm going to the grocery store, the bank Gonna buy me some new shoes made by a kid in Bombay! Life is good Life is great If I don't have my coffee I want to stab you in the face Shut up shut up Shut the f--- up back the truck up Would you like me to put on my make up Before you drop the break up? I can't believe you I don't know what they see in you I don't know what made your teeth so white I wonder how you f--- your wife I hate you so much I wanna get in your pants I'm a b---- all the time lemme be the b---- for you

There's a light behind your teeth And your eyes are glowing red I put you under lock and key You put a monster underneath my bed It's like like a bad dream Everything falls apart at the seams And my sky is empty 'Cause when you smile, you smile at me I like to burn Is there something to gain, one damn thing we can learn I want to hear what you can't say Or pretend I heard it anyway No one's asking for a light But we're setting all kinds of fires The salesman wants to fight Using thieves and liars It's like a bad dream Stupid stuff that isn't even what it seems I like to burn Is there something to gain, one damn thing we can learn I want to hear what you can't say Or pretend I heard it anyway Oo lala That's a s sharp suit for a worm Someone's gonna make you a partner in their law firm

My worst thoughts My worst thoughts Strike in the night Fears, head’s not clear Sheets tear and tear Why, why are you walking away You’re walking away I see your I see your face in the mirror My best thoughts My best thoughts Spotted with dust Beige and forgot The black cat’s crossed The skyline And your face shines In the moon light And it’s so bright Why, why are you walking away You’re walking away I see your I see your face in the mirror Misery sings I have no place to lay No place no dream Or home to call my own Forgotten thoughts They pass us by Nobody can catch them That’s the way we live our lives Still in the end, So glad you came I had a friend and We all die just the same

We move fast; we step slow.

We fade, drift, wade, then go.

We are brightly neon, we are grimly beige.

Tedium and elation, in company then estranged.

What to do? Continue, persist, reap & sow.

The journey prevails with desire to know.
