You are still wrecked among heathen dreams.
(Yeats)
Digging through notebooks, lyric, music fragments, now seven songs in…. heavy guitar overdubs from Kevin McLeod and Tom Desisto
Things Are Strange
Things are strange here in the city
why must they always seems so loud?
walking strong within the city
feeling lost within the crowd
things are strange
yes the girls they all look pretty
but I hear them think out loud
walking tall but feeling shitty
looking down from in a cloud
things are strange
stealing out into the night
this is how I plan my flight
watching others fight their fight
I don’t really care unless it’s my plight
things are strange
why must it always be so hard?
all the names that hit my pity
gabi, jaqui and irene
adventures found within this city
long lost games and subtle pain
things are strange
we all lived inside a wall
a meeting with ISLPR to discuss an autuumn launch…
Nylon string “Classical” guitar overdubs by Todd Evans on
Believe Me
Talking, though I’m feeling rather strange
Seems I have to rearrange
I have to make a change
Walking, and I’m wondering what to say
Thinking about today
When you threw it all away
And I’m staring down the street
Watching all the feet
Believe me cause my life was there
Makes me shout
Talking and I’m wondering what to say
Walking and I’m wondering about the day
How I let you get away
How I didn’t make you pay
Believe me – my life is there
I shout
Believe me cos my life is there
Wondering if I dare
From where is the performing and singing now? How much is sunk back in the man/boy who walked then, and how much is (re) animated by the boy/man working in feverishly short bursts now?
Also, needs a title.
“Why All This Geography”?
Too broad a question though, “things”, strange or not, need to be more specific. We had a good meeting Friday though, to discuss all that — more again please.
