Yeah, no genre comments here - not a freakin' clue!   
 
But I will say this - the song is a journey.   A pleasant one through many dissimilar areas and cultures.   Really, really good stuff and mixed clean and clear.   And as Tim pointed out, the piano sounds awesome!
 

I don't like people one teensy tinsy bit...but I liked the heck out of this!!

Super sweeeeet!

Tom,
 
This is massively cool. as usual. The title and subject matter made me think really hard as I would like to think I'm not a total misanthrope. Oh, what the hell? Maybe I don't like people. that much.
 
I accept the challenge of genre assignment. It starts out as a spoken word thing over a shifting jazz-funk groove that segues with a song fragment about the same topic. Which segues with an uptempo pop-rock instramental/piano solo which I think develops the theme further. I hear multiple genres with overlap; whatever Gil Scott Heron & Marvin Gay/What's Going On were doing, connecting to a partial of a conventional song, with an uptempo vamp out. 
 
I like the seamless quality of this complex number. Reminds me of Mayans in that way. Great playing with both keys and strings.
 
Real good stuff. I've already listened to it multiple times.
 
Cheers,
 
Bert

This is a great song.  Outstanding arrangement.  I love the use of the vocal narrative in places.  Keep them coming!

You're one of my favorite songwriters, Tom.  I love your eclectic approaches to writing and your way of forging the new with the old.  Encore, matey!

This is really cool! Most interesting thing I've listened to in a while. Very creative.
 
Mixwise, I sometimes lose the definition/attack of the bass in the first half of the song. It's fine in the slower section under the violin and the rest of the song thereafter. Maybe just a touch of eq adjustment under the fuller parts early on?

I really enjoyed this! Reminded me a bit of Julian Cope for the first half. Some really cool piano and violins on the back half.
 
very cool man - thanks for sharing!

Really enjoyed this one, Tom.  Very inventive and creative songwriting and production... my hat's off to you, sir.

Wonderful!
 
If I would be a radio, I definitely would play this tune ...
 
thanks for posting this here!
