– opening lyrics of Diamond In My Pocket by Sean Allen Fenn

What if there was a Web3 holiday song that’s heard every year? Instead of being just a Christmas song, what if it could be a Hanukkah song as well? That would bring together people of different faiths, and be fun to hear!

In this essay, my intention is to explain why this song was written and why it belongs on the blockchain. My desired outcome is for this song to be a beacon which unites our tribe of open-minded, diverse minds who value spiritual aspects of human life. We desire to be seen and heard. We believe that our imagination is our operating system. We choose to focus on success, health, wealth, abundance, prosperity and love.

First, a quick introduction for new members of our tribe. My name is Sean Allen Fenn. I’m an artist who once gave up on his dream. After the pandemic, I started making music again. You can hear my previous songs on Spotify. Informed by Jewish thought, my personal belief is that we are Elohim, which is a plural name of G-d. In other words, we are not separate from Elohim. We have the power to create. We actually never turn it off. Our words cast spells. That’s why it’s called spelling. Before you file me under weirdo, this is relevant to understand where I’m coming from.

Second, this technology is important. Today, we have digital ownership. That was impossible only a few years ago. Artists can transmute their acts of creation into valuable assets. This allows for skin-in-the-game. Collectors become collectives.

Third, consider this essentially to be a roadmap. It’s my opinion that the music is the utility. However, the point is to add value. Therefore, collectors will receive next year’s album free in some form or another via airdrop. Since the objective is to build and grow our tribe, this release will most likely be an open edition, ending December 31 2022. The price will be almost free.

Description:

As The Maccabees refused to allow the desecration of their Temple by Antiochus IV, the artist has authority to reject negativity when creating his own reality. In our time, many have succumbed to the temptations of negativity. When we sing about what we don’t want – hurt, pain, sadness, loss – we’re not aware that we are begging for more negativity. It’s no surprise that anyone who speaks, sings, or paints such pictures is setting herself up to experience more of what she begged for. This is a metaphysical law.

To recognize a season of joy as an opportunity to amplify that joy is a countermeasure to the shadows in the valley of death. Singing about what we do want for ourselves and for others is the path of an artist like Sean Allen Fenn. Courageous in battle is the one who creates their chosen reality.

For the new single, Diamond In My Pocket, the artist tells a fictional story of an interfaith couple. Writing himself into a relationship, the opening lyric is, “Christmas time is here again, and I want to spend it with my friend”. As the story unfolds, we learn that his best friend is a Jewish girl. We are listening to a romantic holiday pop/rock song that threatens to ruin every cliché. Bell chimes are absent. Instead we hear tambourines led by a jagged synth line. The little drummer boy is replaced by a programmed, bare-bones, electro-rock beat.

Unlike traditional Christmas music, there is a Hanukkah twist. Will this single be worthy to enter the holiday canon? Only time will tell. For an indie artist alive in a hostile world to attempt to write a new holiday song at all invites us to imagine bravery.
