Five Things We Liked This Week - 04/03/22

I can't breathe but don't need a space travel (A74)

Under the Sky

No Other Way

Produced by Katie Buchanan

Release date: February 11, 2022

Bell Jar

Refrain:

How did I end up getting involved in the very existence I planned on avoiding?         

Verse 1:

Wendy was a writer with talent, 
Then she fell in love and now she’s married to Alan,
And all that Wendy writes are her letters to Sharon		

Verse 2:

Sharon shares a similar sense of resentment, 
For her love she’s moving to a town that she’s not even heard of

Pre-Chorus:	

But anyway, anyway, they get to go abroad on holiday...

Chorus:

There’s a spider in my bed, imagine that, imagine that, 
Though he sits and he stares that creepy crawly doesn’t answer back, answer back,
Looks at me as if he knows the answer to the question that I pose… 


Refrain:

How did I end up getting involved in, the very existence I planned on avoiding?   

Verse 3:		

Now Wendy wishes things had been different and Sharon shuttles kids to the pictures

Though it’s hardly the worst situation on Earth,
There’s a perishing of cherished things and memories are blurred... 

Pre-Chorus:	

But anyway, anyway, they get to go abroad on holiday...

Chorus:

There’s a spider in my bed, imagine that, imagine that, 
Though he sits and he stares that creepy crawly doesn’t answer back, answer back,
Looks at me as if he knows the answer to the question that I pose…

'Whatever comes to pass
time will file the time
and this extraordinary wait.
The drama and the epic
the events that befall
the beginners
invoke glory and rage.
Because of necessity
they happen to live
because of belongingness
they happen to become.
There’s no difference between
starting and starting over for
what was or wasn’t done
cycles with the stringency
of a climate loop.
And the silence of hesitation
saturates the air condensing
inside the mask
accelerating the dew point.
It muffles this new normal.
Beginners challenge
the so called tragedy
of the time horizon
in which people can’t imagine
the suffering of the humans
of the future and
nothing much gets done
on their behalf.
Beginners are seamless
and they care.
Some of them give in.'

'Qualunque cosa accada
il tempo archivierà il tempo
e questa straordinaria attesa.
Il dramma e l’epopea
gli eventi che accadono
a chi comincia
suscitano gloria e rabbia.
Per necessità
succede di vivere
per appartenenza
succede di divenire.
Non c’è differenza tra
iniziare e ricominciare perché
ciò che è stato o non è stato fatto
si ripete con l’intransigenza
dei cicli climatici.
E il silenzio dell’esitazione
satura l’aria che condensa
all’interno della mascherina
accelerando il punto di rugiada.
Attutisce questa nuova normalità.
Coloro che iniziano sfidano
la cosiddetta tragedia
dell’orizzonte temporale
per cui le persone non riescono
a immaginare la sofferenza
degli esseri umani del futuro e
poco viene speso a loro favore.
Coloro che iniziano sono senza soluzione
di continuità e a loro importa.
Alcuni si arrendono.'

Ode for the Beginners

Psychedelic Mayhem

After Step

Fires

This song was written after feeling scared about the future, lack of money, getting older, my parents getting older & feeling lonely in a new country. I didn't want to be aware of bad things anymore, about climate change and wars, paying bills,  dying, etc. I wanted to feel like a little kid again, finding joy in everything, not knowing what the real world was like.
