about

Serene 2020 Hindsight:
"This is a cover of a song that first appeared on a Serene Dominic album For Your Extreme Convenience, released on Labor Day, September 2014. The whole album was literally about a day at the office. I did work in an office at the time ( I'm sitting in my cubicle was on the cover). I never had an Anti-Stress Zen Garden there but someone did give me one once and I was worried about sand getting into the mouse wheel so I threw it out."

In 2015, I asked my Friend Adrian Evans, the onetime lead singer of Sugar High and Autumn Teen Sound" to do a new lead vocal for it. It's basically the same track as the one with me singing it. As for the MC Reene, just say it three times fast and you'll get the joke."

Song this most closely rips off:
"Sitting in the Park" by Billy Stewart, the whole middle scat was me just doing Billy Stewart, right down to the Brrrrrrrrrrupp! Also, the mood owes a lot to "I Who Have Nothing" by Terry and the Pack."

lyrics

Anti-Stress Zen Garden
written by Serene Dominic

Every morning it’s the same old fuss
Someone new is thrown under the bus
The only variation I can see is wondering who the new recruit will be

I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW HOW FAR I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN
IF IT WASN’T FOR MY ANTI-STRESS ZEN GARDEN (2X)

Life’s a beach, a little patch of sand
Small enough to fit inside your hand
Folk can ridicule me left to right
This miniature rake has probably saved their lives

I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW IF I’D HAVE TURNED OUT ROTTEN
IF IT WASN’T FOR MY ANTI-STRESS ZEN GARDEN (2X)

Where I don’t need anybody and I don’t want anybody
and I don’t love anybody, everything’s already turned to sand!
Once I was out on the ledge because I lost all sense

I lost my job, I lost my house I lost my, umm, my pretty little baby
I’m not sitting on a fence about it so don’t you get-a me started
Unless you want to hear about all of its restorative powers

I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW HOWMUCH I HAVE HAVE GOTTEN
IF IT WASN’T FOR MY ANTI-STRESS ZEN GARDEN (2X)

Where I don’t need anybody and I don’t want anybody and I don’t love anybody
