Horizontal Logic is a song by The Residents & Renaldo & The Loaf. It was recorded partially in 1981 and in the 1983 overdub sessions for Title In Limbo.
Background
The track was recorded by The Residents & Brian Poole at Groove Street Studios in October 1983. Dave Janssen, who had co-written the song with the Poole & The Residents, could not attend the recording sessions in the US, so recorded tape loops in his home studio to be used.
The track was released November 15th 1983 on the album 'Title In Limbo'
In 2017 Klanggalerie finally released the long awaited 4 daze tape. On this tape is 45 minutes of demos that would become "title in limbo". This song is heavily based on the 4 Daze Demo "Quiet".
Lyrics
Once I rose from a small wooden chair Opened the window and started to stare At roses that grow in a vertical way Because there is sunshine above them each day. I smiled at the roses and started to think Of the beauty that lay in this logical link If life were as simple as just growing flowers Think of the seconds and minutes and hours We never would wait on our feelings of trust Loyalty, honesty, love or disgust.
