Talk Time CryptoMusicBoxes are powered by the blockchain and collected from the finest curio shops in the metaverse.

Song: Necessary Evil Album: Necessary Evil

It seems like every step we take in modern living we're consuming and destroying. We in "civilized" societies are all participants in a new cycle of life; one where our way of life is destroying the planet. Though some of us as individuals try to mitigate that as much as we can, it's the system in place that we cannot escape.

"Necessary Evil" is about making sense of that modern guilt, the realization of being part of and benefiting from a destructive and wasteful system, but being sensitive enough to know something's not right and wrestling with your conscience. On one hand its a necessary evil to consume, drive our cars and keep living, but hopefully we find a worthy meaning and purpose, or even the divine in wrestling your conscience and trying to be better.

Each CryptoMusicBox comes with the following:

• Augmented Reality Poster Print (first collector only) that activates a unique AR experience that brings the music box to life in their room while playing the featured song.

• High Resolution mp4 file that loops to the full song

• Printable 11x17 album art poster file

• Holders of CryptoMusicBox NFTs will receive future airdrops of Talk Time NFTs, AR experiences, and token-gated access to Talk Time live shows/streams.

Lyrics:

There was no other way To come and get ya The sun is out until The end of the lecture You never liked to wait Soon it won't matter I never thought to hold enough to get the picture

Sister tell me, where do I begin? Who will tempt me, and who will let me sing? With summer ending, don't wanna catch a chill You better hustle before you think

It's a necessary evil I'm taking my time wrestle with the devil Washing my sins to walk through the door

Come and tell me You tourist of the hill Before you met me In a moment you had to fill Looking for some shade There's only shadows here It's more than after thought A moan in the atmosphere

And before you blink It's a necessary evil I'm taking my time wrestle with the devil Washing my sins to walk through the door of a hell I wade through my sins to walk through the door

It's a necessary evil I'm taking my time wrestle with the devil Washing my sins to walk through the door of a hell-o I weigh through my sins to walk through the door
