Feedback Loop Blues

Name: Feedback Loop Blues
Description: A weary blues meditation on Feedback Loops (FBLs), sung from the quiet vantage point of the data itself — every "this is spam" click logged as cold, indifferent fact. The narrator reminds senders that ISPs don't weigh intent or copy quality; they tally complaint signals, and those marks shape your reputation whether you meant well or not.

Verse

I don’t read your copy, I don’t hear your plea

I watch the people underneath, what they do with me

One red button, quiet click

That’s a signal logged, cold and quick

Verse

You call it feedback, I call it fact

Every complaint’s a mark you don’t take back

No drama here, no raised alarms

Just math in motion, small-scale harm

Chorus

This is feedback loop blues

User votes when they choose

I don’t judge intent or tone

I count the times they say “leave me alone”

Verse

You sent it right, or so you say

But they didn’t ask to hear from you today

Expectation missed by half a beat

That’s how trust slips out the seat

Verse

Not every box talks back to me

Some stay silent, that’s how it be

But when they shout, I write it down

Patterns rise without a sound

Chorus

This is feedback loop blues

No warning light, no fuse

Every click sharpens the view

I don’t feel it — I measure you

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Guitar Solo]

Bridge

(spoken, clipped)

One user is noise

Ten is a hint

A hundred’s a story

I don’t reinvent

Verse

You clean it up, slow it down

Respect the people, you level the ground

Less surprise, more control

That’s how you break the loop, regain the role

Chorus

These feedback loop blues

They fade when you choose

Permission over reach

Relevance over preach

Outro

So don’t sing loud when the numbers accuse

You taught them the move, they used it on you

I’ll still be here, steady and true

Counting the clicks on the feedback loop blues

[Fade Out]
