Einstein determined that time is relative and that the rate at which it passes depends on your frame of reference.  Now I’m not saying that I’m much of a scholar of his work but what I do know is that when the Covid pandemic was at it’s height and we were all confined to our homes, many of those that I spoke to didn’t even know where in the week we were, let alone the time of day, so yer man Einstein probably had a point.

This song was written long before the pandemic surfaced and came during telephone and email conversations I had with my two fellow Cripple Club garage band members, Gary and Hans . For example, I was chatting to Gal one day when he said “You know, I just can’t get the hang of time, these days.  Weeks seem to just merge into each other”. 

On the very same day, Hans sent me an email in which he stated "I’m really struggling to get the hang of time at the moment…” As someone who spends much of his time at home anyway, the two ‘hang of time’ statements did resonate with me and therefore carried an intriguing synchronicity.  I’m not someone who thinks these things have any mystical significance but the fact that they had both used precisely the same expression on the same day certainly placed the idea for this song in my mind.

Thanks again to Hans for taking the concept and formulating it so brilliantly into his arrangement for the song.  And many thanks to you for listening.

I just can’t get the hang of time
Tomorrow seemed a million miles behind
And yet a date turns up in front of mind
What more to remember or try to find

I just can’t get the hang of time

Another month goes by without a breath
Although breathing in moves me to the left
Time to the right can cause calendar theft
Pitching very low sounds to a musical clef

I just can’t get the hang of time

No shaking up time without showing my age
As click track continues keep missing the page
Never losing my temper but cheating a rage
There is never a tempo that keeps sounds in a cage

I just can’t get the hang of time (Repeat)

BREAK

Qualified people pointing a direction to live
Not one understands why I’m mentally captive
Each box with a tick but the time doesn’t give
My Individual need making all words so inactive

I just can’t get the hang of time

A window reflection shows a man with a beard 
Tuesday or Wednesday? All days disappeared
I just can’t get the hang of time
It wasn’t meant to be an ageing skill of mine.

I just can’t get the hang of time

PASARE

Para mí los perros al ladrar                         Em-A
No piden huesos                                            G-C
Es así el vino que te dan 
No es del bueno 
Cuando no estás las horas por pensar 
Se vuelven fuego 
Un año más tomando sin parar 
Parece un juego 

Bajaré, subiré, pasaré...                    F-C-D

Y en el espacio las sombras me dirán 
Ya no eres nuestro 
Tus ojos son los mismos del lugar 
Que nunca encuentro 
Tenía el mar, nadando me perdí 
Me hundí de nuevo 
De ese volcán la lava quemará 
Destruyendo el sueño 

Bajaré, subiré, pasaré...

J'ai réuni ici sous cette rythmique, ces harmonies instrumentales, deux voix de provenances très différentes, et qui se complètent parfaitement ici …. Voix et harmonies bien spécifiques pour ce concept de plus de 9 minutes qui vous permettront, de voyager un instant hors de cette réalité présente, si troublée et parfois désespérante .... Du moins, je vous le souhaite.

******************************************************************************************

I gathered here under this throbbing rhythm, these instrumental harmonies, two very different voices of origin, and which complement each other perfectly here…. Voices and harmonies very specific for this concept of more than 9 minutes which will allow you, to travel for a moment out of this present reality, so troubled and sometimes desperate .... At least, I wish you.

Ethnic Voices ....

AnandaTuk - Take it (Remake Of FLEXHEAD - Take It)

Written by James Geer

Words and words ad nausiam
A simple tortured phrase
A fiery sermon free of thought
An Endless verbal maze

Tailored sharply to the beat
Or curtly curtailed
Vague and seldom to the point
Or cogent and detailed

Words to dance around a point
Words to take up space
Some to precisely convey
Others to erase

Iambic pentameter
Free verse free of rhyme
Verses to reveal the truth 
Others to waste time

Verses setting premises 
Others to ignore
Some that make the final cut 
Others on the floor

Finally a closing thought
Wrapping up the song
nothing here for you to see
Time to move along

I've been on this kick lately posting short isolated tracks of previously uploaded full songs, just to highlight certain parts. In this one, it's an isolated section of the vocal track & harmonies, with a bit of percussion. Here's a link to the full song, a cover of the infectious "It's All Right" by Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions. I'm really not much of a fan of my own voice, but had some fun playing around with this one. :)

The full song details are at the linked page:

thanks for listening!

It's All Right (ISOLATED vox)

I'm not an iron man

Music rhymes with melodic
And nothing else matters

Hoping you'll enjoy my tracks
Thank you for the comments !
