Pop, funk, 80s Pleudoniem
The Rules Do Not Apply (Collab with Oorlab)

Music by Pleudoniem @2017,
Lyrics, vocals and other good ideas by Oorlab

Oorlab was here to finish a little instrumental track that we'd been working on some time back. When I played him the music to 'The Rules Do Not Apply' - then as yet untitled and without a lyric, he felt inspired to write the lyric and sing to it.

In case you are wondering what it is about, well, when thinking about a subject, an interview in the Dutch weekend newspaper Volkskrant sprang to mind. Let's see if you can discover what inspired the lyric, and especially whose perspective we took to write it...

There's a wish from us to you
We know you went away
To Mongolia to save another day
What were you thinking?
The Rules Do Not Apply

You could give another interview
You could show another part of you
Tell us on the Internet
How your mind is really set

I know you so well
I know you, so...
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell

You know we wish you all the best
But we'll be honest with you
We hope you're honest to yourself

• You know we wish you all
  the best...

You know you wrote it like a memory
Mary Shelly was a fantasy
Turned to an anomaly
Better than yourself

I know you so well
I know you, so...
Farewell
Farewell
Farewell
