(c) 1994 Linnie Boone / (2006) remix Linnie Boone / you is tune I had written then recorded it as a submission for a film for end credits (for someone else to sing and record -- it didn't make it into the film).  I took my song in 1994 to my friend, flamenco guitar virtuoso Alberto de Almar who played guitar and recorded and mixed the song with me singing on an 8 track digital tape machine -- the vocals are sung and recorded straight through on each vocal track, not cut and pieced together nor was any vocal pitch or harmonic equipment used.  It's just my sketchy vocals and Alberto's stunning improvised guitar parts - 3 vocal tracks, 3 guitar tracks, Alberto's voice on the 7th track and a flamenco hand clap beat on the 8th track.  This is a 2006 remix of the original 1994 recording from tracks transferred to a CD.

Track 6 - you

my beautiful darkness

my beautiful darkness
black charcoal 
absent of light
a thousand shadows
and endless night
dust blended
chaos upended
the abyss 
the votex
This - is
the ultimate hex
the black dog
the endless fog
the curtain closed
the silent scream
the reality
inside the dream
motionless
limbo state
the slow tug down
the hand of fate
the song on repeat
the fading beat
the isolation
the desperation
digging deep
into sleep
with every breath
keeping death
at bay
one more day
one more day
one more day
one more day
one more day

my beautiful darkness
the lost tenderness
the nothingness
the emptiness
the void 
the hole
the infinite
instrument - of cold
and numb
no pleasures
to plumb
so still
no will
floating
aimless
noting
sameness
letting go
giving in
going without
always within


my beautiful darkness
never-ending fight
holding on tight
battles won
war's still on
no one wins
it begins
again
a chemical romance
a last chance
to breathe, to feel
inside the sureal
somewhere between
the living
and the dead
the hope
and the dread
the truth
and the lies
the worms
and butterflies
the padded walls
the crushing falls
into the obscure
a complex blur
of needles and pins
everything blends
inside out
and outside in

my beautiful darkness
one more day
one more day
one more day
one more day
one more day...
