Thanks for that feedback!

Yep, using story-like approach would have given more meaning to the song, but one of the original motivations for this was to put enough references to math concepts in the lyrics, in a way that would encourage the curious listener to dig them up, and perhaps start to either relate with or love math.

This song is part of a bigger attempt at using the creative arts to expose our African youth to STEM disciplines, and to make the science and math more appealing to a population that's really greatly lagging behind compared to the rest of the world.

You might find this other similar project even more interesting: http://genius.com/Nemesis-fixx-the-3lite-hackx0rs-lyrics

It's a song introducing important concepts of Information Security to listeners, via a story of an African hacker that's in battle with an NSA crew. It's more story-like.

Yes, I'd love to write more music like this, and so will get in touch to get ideas and feedback on how to get even better.

Thanks.
