Seeking Sorrow

'Echos In The Wind' is a Fusion track inspired by the perpetual coming and goings, dramas and ceaseless movement of life in my garden. Plants, animals, fish, insects and trees all involved in this continual cycle of birth and death. It's no wonder I spend half of my day in my garden.

Echos In The Wind

A simple tribute to the four seasons of the year, reminding us of their wonderful aspects, such as the sound of fallen leaves or birdsongs, but also storms and terrible forest fires.

About time!
The expression “time flies when you are having fun” may be true, but time always runs out in the end!  We can only experience time when our mind is awake and in the present. The present is the point at which we toggle from the past and into the future. So, what does it mean to “live each day as if it were the last” or “live in the present”?  The smallest unit of time every recorded is a zeptosecond, a trillionth of a billionth of a second and looks like this: 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 001.  Soooo, it seems to me that we spend most of our time, in theory, in the past, because everything we have experienced and learned is stored in our mind.  We can imagine and plan for the future but can only remember the past.  Are you confused?  I am!

Time Flies

It reminds me of life before livin' - It's my truth but take away givin'
It's my hope for the dead not the livin' HO,HO,HO, HOpium

Like a firefly burning out in the night

HOpium - Like a man with his hand out
HOpium - Like a screamer that can't shout
HOpium - A dollar sign in a penny jar
HOpium - A rock that can't be thrown far

Like a light bulb burning out under the bleachers
Like a funky hand of god and just a bevy of preachers
Like a soul suckin' mutt but it's devoid of all features
HO, HO, HO, HOpium

Kind of like COpium it gives you a reason
Like swimmin' in the summer sun when you're really freezin'
Take another snort and you'll be sure to be sneezin'
HO.HO,HO, HOpium

Safe Haven (Instrumental)

lyrics:

Is the glass half full
Or half empty, bull
The glass is too big
And I took a swig

Now it's in my veins
And I'm feeling the pains
Of post-ironic memes
Of monocultural teams

Writin' their minor songs
Discrete dabs, no passin' bongs
Let me play you this one
This is serious anti-fun

I've been drinkin' that Gen Z pee
It's problematic just talkin' to me
All I did was mention a Beatles tune
And your angry ass decorated the room

I've been drinkin' that Gen Z pee
But maybe I should spend more time in the street
I've got a sign with two sides, scrawled
Just tryin' to see you, I'm gonna crawl

Just attempt to conceive
What privacy may relieve
Tyranny of the self
A manic grandmother elf

Those prior problematics
Now fermenting spaztics
Your songs ain't so bad
Just call 'em all "I'm Sad"

Poor you
The poor things

I've been drinkin' that Gen Z pee
Now I'm mired in madness, clipped speech intensity
I fixed up the house, I cleaned the toilet
But you didn't stick around long enough to soil it

Hope I didn't spoil your party (What party?)
I've just been listenin' to Jen's E.P.
Me and that girl, I mean, honestly, like, for me
In my opinion, personally, it's like, seriously
For me, I mean

Gen Z Pee (or, Jen's E.P.) [P×2 Demo]

‘Will we be fools again’ 
Written in September 2023 after standing in a queue in Starbucks, looking out at a wet, dirty and declining High Street.  I had been been watching the people in town, including one particular couple locked into an intense conversation under an umbrella. They prompted the story in the song. 

I wanted the backing to be sparser and more guitar led to give it an edge. I also wanted the instrumental in the middle to have a woozy, emotional feel to it. 

It’s a song about everyday people ‘stuff’ against a backdrop of a slowly deteriorating townscape. It couldn’t be slick (and I couldn’t be no matter how hard I try!) I hope you enjoy the song. Best with headphones! 

Take care

James (lyrics below) 

Will we be fools again? 

The chewing gum looks like leopard spots on the pavements in the rain
And litter blocks the drains again

Recklessly, we agreed to meet, after these silent years
Now there’s excitement and fear!

Behind the wall, by the social club, an old sanctuary for lovers 

We’ll talk, we’ll laugh 
and then I’ll start to think 
will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again? 

Graffiti on the empty shops, can our town survive?
And meanwhile we destabilise our lives! 

What fools we’d be, to lift the lid and let those lies escape 
Just think of all the hearts we’d break 

But we’re in your car, the radio’s on, as we unwrap the past! 

That smile! Those eyes!
Make me start to think
Will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again?

I’m aware, yeah I’m aware, 
I know where my fault lines are
And you’re spread right across them!  
Right across them.. yeah!

Instrumental 

Yes, we’ll talk, we’ll laugh
You know I’ll start to think
Let us be fools again
Please let us be fools again

Yes, we’ll touch, we’ll kiss
And then the path is clear
For us fools again
Let us be fools again….please, please..

James Whiteman September 2023

Will we be fools again?
