4/20 - this song is a wild one.
MIDDLE CLASS MAGIC was born while working in Jersey City. Countless meetings with robust personalities & business chodes in both cannabis & music; I would find myself in meetings as the only person that was not an owner of a million dollar non profit, or a successful large international company. Iâd be expected to share my ideas, bringing some perspective to the callous.
I was once summonsed to a rooftop studio in Newport, Jersey city. This studio has recorded voices & songs for Nickelodeon, Disney, Cartoon Network, & even some Broadway show tunes. The studio owner/engineer, a Grammy award winning producer had brought me in one day to perform in front of him, & an Emmy award winning television producer.
They asked me play an acoustic song I wrote & sing for them both. When the song finished, they told me to play it again, but this time âlike I meant it.â These guys were old & have more connections than me so I obliged & went right back into the song, this time, trying to let loose. But alas, there were two old judgemental dudes in front of me that could never understand what I was trying to do. After the 2nd run through they asked me the name of the song. It had a different working title, but this time I told them the song was called MIDDLE CLASS MAGIC which I had come up with in that moment. Because it was finally clear to me why I was there. I had something valuable that they couldnât grasp, a tether to reality. That MIDDLE CLASS MAGIC, bb.
Hope you listen & share if you dig the sounds.
Thank you - KB
Iâve often obsessively searched for a âpersonal style,â but now I believe the process matters much more.
For me, changing technique and changing process means changing jobs: starting from zero is the only way I have to keep that part of me alive that just wants to play.
I get lost in the act of creating, and this process lets me truly get inside what Iâm doing.
Trust the process.

Music video for "Middle Class Magic" by The Dream Machine, out now.
The American dream sold as aspiration, debt lived as lifestyle. The song moves through that fracture.
