no one has to listen to them; they just have to exist:

you know,
someday i'm going to take
all my Great Songs
and recordings
and make an album.

then i'll record myself
singing along to myself.
that'll be my
second album.

then i'm going to record myself
singing along to myself
singing along to myself
and that'll be my
third album.

then i'll record myself
singing along to myself
singing along to myself
singing along to myself
and that'll be my
fourth album.

then i'll record myself
singing along to myself
singing along to myself
singing along to myself
singing along to myself
and that'll be
the day.
