One slip up, and down the hill he goes.
A slip and a trip and a bing bong boom.
Wouldn’t it be nice to never stub our toes?
Mankind could really use autotune.
Most suffering is from the little things,
Which cause us many tears and send
Us into a frenzy and cause us to fling
Our lives into something we can’t mend.
But if autotune fixes man’s feeble song,
Allowing man to float downstream
Knowing he’ll never hurt and just be,
I’d rather be broken then fixed than live long
Meaningless lives of comfort and content.
For the Lord has mercy on he who repents.

A most interesting concept. I hate autotune because it takes the humanity out of music would it do the same if used for our social problems? I don't know. If you believe in God then in his wisdom did not install autotune. Loved the poem
I was in an airport for like 12 hours and the music was starting to get to me. I prefer folk, especially stuff that just feels like it comes from the soul of man, and almost out of the earth itself. I like what you said, autotune just takes out the soul. It makes it "better" or literally more perfect, being without error, but mankind is something fallen. Any attempts at perfection like that scream to me like the tower of babel, where we think we are better than God, partaking in an attribute belonging only perfectly to me, Perfection.
