Heartbeat

Janie's got a long way to go
She lives at home, she's thirty-five years old
But when I see her face, filling up the frame
It drives me

Janie's got a long way to go
She likes it fast but only takes it easy
She drives me crazy

Crazy
Crazy
She drives me crazy

Me I've got a long way to go
I was looking good but she came
I sold my soul

And what she doesn't see
Is what she means to me
She drives me

Janie's got a long way to go
But she's out of gas on the side of the road
And when I see her face, filling up her tank
It drives me

Crazy
Crazy
She drives me crazy

I should turn around and head right back
She's giving me a heart attack
Every time she smiles, every time she laughs,
Every time she loves me back (x2)

Crazy
Crazy
She drives me crazy

Introspective is a completely improvised piano composition, starting with a motif, and developing it harmonically without any pre-chosen direction.
The track is mixed and mastered by Nadjib Gamoura, who meticulously gave it the required ambient treatment.

A Waste Land Companion is, as its title implies, an addendum to Boris Rogowski‘s
album The Waste Land which was released in February 2023 on Piano and Coffee
Records. A meditation on the infamous eponymous 1922 poem by T.S. Eliot, The
Waste Land traces its psychological journey through a barren world in search of lifegiving
water as well as its physical journey through London on the zenith of
Modernism.

During the recording sessions for the album—whose sound is characterised by the
interplay between a string quartet, flute and a collection of specifically created,
deeply warped and tape-weathered samples—over 20 pieces were recorded.
Rogowski had originally intended to use all of them in chronological order, beginning
with the famous part about April being the „cruellest month“. However, it turned out
that a shorter playlist and a strictly musical order worked better for the album.
Rogowski decided to focus on the string-centred pieces to give the album a dreamlike,
hypnotic pull. However, as he valued the shorter, piano-based pieces just as
much, the idea for a companion (mini) album was born almost immediately.

It was a most sensible decision: Chamber gems like „The Hyacinth Girl“ and „A
Wicked Pack of Cards“, mixing English folklore with nods to Richard Wagner’s Tristan
and Isolde, might have gotten lost between the dark, monolithic soundscapes of the
album. Here, however, framed by works for solo piano and harmonium, they are
allowed to shine. A Waste Land Companion begins and ends with two piano pieces
only loosely connected to T.S. Eliot’s poem: „Dear Jessie (to Jessie Laidlay Weston)“ is
an ethereal miniature in reverence of the brilliant English medievalist whose book
From Ritual to Romance, a historical examination of the King Arthur legend, greatly
influenced Eliot while working on The Waste Land. „Universe on a shoestring“ is even
serener, a kind of exhalation after a long and arduous journey. It was the last piece
Rogowski composed during his concluding writing session in the mountains of the
island of La Palma. Here, close to the GTC, the world’s largest optical telescope, the
universe seemed closer than anywhere else on earth—and the grim world of The
Waste Land already a distant memory.
