[Intro｜toy piano × vinyl noise × tiny violin] They said, “Start with the classics!” Okay! ♪ But nobody said I had to like them all. One, two— choose! ⸻ [Verse 1｜gypsy swing] Golden records on the wall Famous names, I know them all Five-star books and cinema Sacred little repertoire “This one matters” “This one changed the scene” “This is what a taste should mean” Thank you, teacher Very nice— But can I choose what I like? ⸻ [Pre-Chorus｜meter begins shifting] Listen, compare Keep it, discard it Love the wrong one That’s a start Know the canon Break the ranking Build a map inside your heart ⸻ [Chorus｜kawaii electro swing] Be the curator! ♪ Pick it, mix it, rearrange Not because they told you Not because it has a name Be the curator! ♪ Taste is not a leaderboard Keep the strange one Drop the masterpiece If it leaves you bored La-la-la-la ♪ Choose it for yourself ⸻ [Instrumental I｜manouche guitar × violin battle] Gypsy guitar accelerates while the violin answers in short phrases. 4/4 → 7/8 → 4/4 Tiny synth: SELECT! REJECT! CONNECT! ⸻ [Verse 2｜lo-fi electrical jazz] I respect the history I can see its legacy Still— “This masterpiece is not for me” Doesn’t make me heresy Maybe I adore the flaw Maybe polish kills the awe Maybe some forgotten B-side Has the thing I never saw ⸻ [Bridge｜electric piano, almost spoken] Consumption says: “Tell me what is good.” Curation asks: “Why did I choose this?” Consumption counts what everyone remembers Curation finds the invisible connection ⸻ [Progressive Section｜5/4 → 3/4 → 7/8] Old film New game Street noise Coltrane Cheap synth Django Wrong decade Same glow Take the pieces No permission Taste becomes a composition ⸻ [Chorus II｜melody mutated] Be the curator! ♪ Sort the signal from the fame Know the classics Then decide which ones deserve your name Be the curator! ♪ Make a constellation yours Taste begins when you can say: “I understand— and still prefer the other one.” ⸻ [Instrumental II｜psychedelic electrical gypsy jazz] Violin motif from the intro returns, but fragmented through glitch delay. Manouche guitar becomes increasingly syncopated. Electric piano plays dense altered chords. Tiny kawaii voice samples: “Hmm… nope!” “This one!” “Why?” “Because I like it!” ⸻ [Final Chorus｜bright, liberated] Be the curator! ♪ Not a shelf Not a score Not a list of things you’re supposed to adore Be the curator! ♪ Taste is something you construct Learn the rules Learn the past Then— choose what stays. ⸻ [Outro｜lo-fi café ambience] You don’t need to hate the classics. You don’t need to worship them either. Listen. Choose. Connect. click Curated.
