Electropop piece written for FAWM 2026 using this picture propmpt

The RT Project

Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter

The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics

Trapped in the TV

Words and Music by Ron Tintner and Andrew Richardson, 2026, ASCAP

The girl in the movie is shaded beige
Fishbowl glasses, golden braids
Striped wool tank top, newish jeans
Something even more strange in the scene

She’s leaning on an old TV
Not quite comfortable, ill at ease
Look deep down in the frame
There's another girl that's just the same

Chorus:
She’s trapped in the TV
Trapped in  the TV
She can't leave, she can’t see
She’s trapped in the TV

She stands up and walks away
Camera angles come into play
Theres the same girl looking back
Doppelganger, in the trap

Chorus

Bridge:
Again, and again and again and again
She tries to walk away, but...
Again, and again and again and again
She’s still there in a smaller TV

V1

CHORUS
