Songs that move like living things

The Same Old Rain

a song i wrote about mutiny and regret

Lyrics:

Throwing his old medal out to sea
From the bow of hulls of hulks of trees
He looked for it until he couldn't see
With a laugh from there declared his spirit free

'Why don't you', asked he
'throw away the key?'
I said 'That must be
the devil in me'.

We sat beneath the ceaseless steady drone
Set the table like we weren't yet alone
His gaze perused the space of what he'd thrown
As I wondered why we couldn't save our own

We'll float with the debris
Agree to disagree
So I might defeat
The devil in me.

The Devil In Me

'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

home recording
January 2014

Invade your mind, like the termites in your walls 
Only when your guard is down, I come out and crawl 

Haven't we walk down this street this time last year? 
No, different pairs of hands, and hearts, and fears 
I write you love songs, in pencil so I can erase your name 
Subject to change, 
Nothing stays the same 
Nothing stays the same 

Lock our fingers as we trip along the cobblestones 
Get home late. Kill the lights, and smash our bones 
Like a garden snake I peel my skin and leave it in the grass 
Sun comes up, I'm crawling fast 
This is now the past 

Invade your mind, like the termites in your walls 
Only when your guard is down, I come out and crawl 
On your wooden floors; past the shirts, the sheets, and the regrets 
You share your bed, not with me, but with the words 
I never meant.

Crawl

Track four from our debut EP, A Walking Shadow. Features Stoo Turner on banjo.

DOWNLOAD IT HERE: https://tij-official.bandcamp.com/track/bleed-through Written by Barry Snaith & Erika Bach July 2014 
Voice: Lola Demo https://soundcloud.com/lolademo
Instruments and Voice: TIJ
Blister-inducing Guitar Solo: Darren Chilton https://soundcloud.com/spectrum_one

After many a ‘heated debate’ between the fantastic Lola Demo and I, we finally got the track we both wanted without shedding  too many tears. I must have gone through a whole box of tissues.
The trials and tribulations were many - Erika’s laptop broke before we even began and I soon learned that a small Greek island isn’t the place for speedy repairs. My Mac then died on me - unsurprising after the beatings I give it. Then we had a few ‘issues’ about the subject matter and my gory artwork (which I’ve since altered in the light of current horrors). Then I wanted to enlist the astounding skills of the (surely) extra-dextered Darren Chilton, much like Eddie Van Halen on Michael Jackson’s Beat It. Turns out he also had no computer (Darren, not Jacko) so we had to liaise via internet cafés in Tokyo. Darren's only brief was to 'make it as fucked up as possible'. Eventually a truly global song was born (Tokyo, Ithaca, Wakefield). 
I’d also like to say that, once computers were revived, Erika and Darren were so quick to provide their stellar contributions, whereas I laboured faaar too long over the mix, which eventually Erika mastered superbly over at Ithaca Manor.
Anyway, here’s the result. I hope you like it. Loved working with them both. Please listen to their music, you won't be disappointed.

Produced by TIJ 
Mastered by Lola Demo

lyrics by Bach & Snaith July 2014 and we did bleed through them.
BLEED THROUGH 
Halaal! Hallal! You’re bleeding me dry… 
You cannot tell me what I need - what I should want from my life. 
There is no cure for what I feel. No medication to make it right. 
It’s not easy shaking off the damage. 

'Undead Girl Walking'. Halaal! Halaal! You’re bleeding me dry. Hanging on a hook. It's a struggle but you’re good and stuck. Guess you’d be out of luck if you weren’t up so high. 

Bleed through. I know you want to. 

Already dead. I’m already dead. Already bleeding from the back of my head. You’re so wrong. This is genocide. Doesn’t it make you want to cry. Already dead. 

Undead Girl Walking. Halaal! Halaal!  You’re bleeding me dry. I’m hanging on a hook. I struggle but I’m good and stuck. Guess I’d be out of luck if I didn’t feel so high. 

Bleed through. I know you want to. 

Halaal! Halaal! Halaal!
Goodbye.

Baby’s got the wet wings and a lot of nerve to ride the breeze. She’s blowin’ on your ego. Baby’s got the hot brains.
Baby’s gonna leave the nest - She’s struttin’ in her bare flesh.
Baby’s got it all planned - Gonna start again, off to a fresh land, until she sees she’s still among the undertow.

ЗАВИСИМОСТЬ

Я попала в зависимость от тебя.
Когда голубь пропел свою тихую-тихую песню,
гуляя по подоконнику медленным плаванием.
Я попала в глубокую зависимость,
видя: деревья в окне всё ещё стоят.
Я попала в это прекрасное место.
Чтобы встретиться с тобой сегодня вечером.

И ни у кого не спросив, как туда добраться,
я вышла из этой двери, сжимающей меня
до размеров моей комнаты.
И ни у кого не спросив дороги,
я поплыла через цветные волны,
ожидая своей остановки.
Своей остановки — когда я увижу тебя.

Земля!

INTERDEPENDENCE (pidgin-version)

I got dependence to you.
When the dove sang its quiet, quiet song,
walking along the windowsill by slow swimming.
I got deeply dependence, 
seeing: the trees in the window are still standing.
I got in this beautiful place.
To have meet you today's evening.

And without asking anyone how to get there,
I stepped out of that door, squeezing me
to the size of my room.
And without asking anyone the way
I swam through the color waves, 
waiting for my stop.
My stop - when I see you.

Earth!

ЗАВИСИМОСТЬ / interdependence (with Ясный-Svetly)

A true story. Someone who lied  to save themselves.  It happens.
I wrote this as pretty much a straight rock track.The title was a bastardisation of Jack Palance's sneering line in the movie 'Shane' just before he cold-heartedly shoots Tory dead in the mud outside Grafton's, then slowly skulks off, smirking.
Barry Snaith -  guitars and vocals.
Steve 'Doublecross' Smith - Production, sequencing, keyboards, double-crossing a friend.
Tracey Chapman on backing vocals and overreactions.

I've had the very good fortune and honour to associate my own music here on SC with some truly astounding  and generous graphic & surrealist artists: Smiler Street Art (London) https://www.facebook.com/smilerstreetart/, Eric Lacombe (France) http://www.ericlacombe.com/home.php, Belgian surrealists Mothmeister https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/mothmeister. Please do look at their work, you won't be disappointed. Stay here and listen a while first though.
I'm also finding other amazing stuff here on Soundcloud that I would have never heard elsewhere, a few of them I've had the pleasure to collaborate with.: Heidi Harris, Konokunok, Narcisse Noyé, Dolll, Richard Devine, Joaquin Mendoza, Vasco Morais, Keldari Station, Musicaserj, & Cathrinta, Luciole Langevine, Renaud Deback, Lola Demo, Anda Volley, Ang Kerfoot, Dana Dau, Chris Pendergraft, Faerytale and many more. I could go on (and usually do). Check them out, you won't hear their like in many other places. 
Also look out for my playlists here on Soundcloud which feature other artists: 'Favourites From The Cloud', 'Soundscapes'  and 'The Siren, She Sings' (which also has a blog). You may even be in one of them.

Thanks to Isaac for my (full) name. Check out his eerie upload, https://soundcloud.com/aminimalvirus/inconsistent-jukebox. Genius. It crept up on me late one night (one of those tracks that you didn't select but came on in someone else's stream) and I genuinely thought I was going mental. When you hear it you'll see what I mean.
