\"Steve<\/p>\n

Do you ever feel that this entire world is backwards and upside down? That’s because, according to Steve Taylor, we’re living in Escher’s World<\/a>.<\/p>\n

M. C. Escher has been my favorite artist since I was about eight years old when I first saw one of his drawings, and so was thrilled when Steve Taylor came out with his song, “Escher’s World.” Escher’s art and this song both encapsulate everything I think and feel about this world, and about life in general. Everything appears normal, but on closer inspection, up is down, down is out, out is in, stairways circle back to where you’ve been.<\/p>\n

But thankfully, this is the way we are supposed to feel about this world. Things are not right. All is not as it should be. And as I pointed out in Steve Taylor’s songs about “Baby Doe<\/a>” and “Lifeboat<\/a>” evil is declared good and good as evil. This world is upside down! But, as Steve Taylor says here, the remake is on it’s way.<\/p>\n

By the way, this piece is one of those performed while Steve Taylor was part of the band, Chagall Guevara<\/a>, which is the “band” he mentions in “Sock Heaven<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
