Unusually minimal patch from me. I just bought a Moog Sonic 6 and this was my first pass at integrating it with the modular. 606 has the beat and I used an E350 through a Yusynth diode ladder for the melody. Buchla 208's picking the notes again, except on the S6 which is doing the pad. (I'm playing that.)

Grace is now letting go
 
Do not go gentle into that good night - Dylan Thomas

Leaves reveal a drunken rage
The swan song marks their final days
Still with crystal skies so clear
Autumn is the best time of year
 
How some resist their only fall
From the trees they've held on to so long
Grace is now letting go
To lay down softly in a blanket of snow
 
Against the dimming light
There was calm in your eyes
There was calm in your eyes
When you kissed us good bye
 
You broke free from these earthly bonds
That held you here for so ever long 
Grace is now letting go

Song written and recorded by Stephen James Hewitt

Grace Is Now Letting Go

My right to be forgotten

Youthful indiscretions
Have long been in submission
But I can't leave without a trace
 
A video has gone viral
My life is now in spiral
Damn my star in cyberspace
 
My stardom for privacy
A virtual secluded property

15 minutes of fame?
Try15 million links to your name
Oh, damn my star in cyberspace
 
Death is not even an option
For my right to be forgotten
I can't leave without a trace

My stardom for privacy
On the market, that's an elusive luxury

My Right To Be Forgotten

Thumb piano

Found them in my sleep
Souvenirs from dream
They are yours to keep
So my dream stays real

Saw them on the beach
Among the broken shells
We could tell
They possesed mystery

We shaped the waves
With every note we played
And your face
Was under skies of sunset flames

I'd go again
To the sea
The dream won't end
As long as the dream is inside of me

Found them in my sleep
Souvenirs from dream
They are yours to keep
So my dream stays real

My dream is real…

Song written and recorded by Stephen James Hewitt

Heart on a trail

I'm searching for your story
On crowded avenues
The faces and places are all just traces
Of the real you
 
I end up lost
In some empty parking lot
My shadow disappears at noon
Loneliness is when you got so much to give
No one to give it to
 
In lines
Of old love letters
Something reminds of the real you
 
In time 
A broken b'liever
Comes across what he sees as true

I'd tell you my story
'bout bad truths and tenderness
When you need to scream
To show what you fuckin' well mean
No echo is loneliness
  
In lines
Of old love letters
Something reminds of the real you
 
In time 
A broken b'liever
Comes across what he sees as true
 
When all else fails
the heart on a trail
Hides in view

Heart On A Trail

Moon Between Two Wires

A chance of sun

Early on I learned in life
Not to trust my weatherman
He wears good suits and speaks a truth 
But half of its pretend
 
It's not that he don't have the tools
To track prevailin' winds
It's just that greenhorns and their fools
Make big bets on trends
 
Whichever way the wind does blow
brings me clouds and the snow
A chance of sun, is all I really need
Just like you, it comes and goes…

Then again, I admit my friends
Got a window to look outside
I base my clothes, you should know
On the colour of the sky
 
Yes it's true, I turned into
Your good ole weather friend
Cos it not like my sunny ways
Are gonna melt you in the end
 
Whichever way the wind does blow
brings me clouds and the snow
A chance of sun, is all I really need
Just like you, it comes and goes…
Just like you, it comes and goes…
I don’t want to live in snow

You didn't knock on the door
You walked right in
Pushed me down on the floor
Haven't got up again

The outside's in
The outside's in

Used to live my life small
Man, I had it all
Now I'm in your web
Dreaming big instead

The outside's in
The outside's in

Mama, mama turns away
To see her town turn  this way

Spring smelled like hope
All I smell is dope
And the heroin
Is cheaper than the bourbon

The outside's in
The outside's in

Put a stake in the ground
Though there's no one around
Don't want to see you again
Don't want the outside in

The outside's in
The outside's in

Song written and recorded by Stephen Hewitt
