"الطريق كلّه - للشاعر: تشارلز بوكوفسكي - ترجمة: أوس خليل" 


إذا كنت عازما على التجربة، أمضي الطريق كلّه
و إلّا، لا تبدأ مطلقا.
قد يعني هذا فقدان صديقات حميمات، زوجات، أقارب، وربما عقلك.
قد يعني هذا عدم تناول الطعام لثلاثة أيام أو أربع.
قد يعني التجمّد على دكّة حديقة عامّة.
قد يعني السجن.
قد يعني السخرية.
قد يعني الإستهزاء \العزلة.
العزلة هي الهدية.
الجميع سيختبرون قدرتك على التحمّل، وكم تريد حقًا أن تفعل ذلك.
وانت، ستفعلها، على الرغم من الرفض وأسوأ الإحتمالات.
وستكون أفضل من أي شيء يمكنك تخيّله.
إذا كنت عازما على التجربة، أمضي الطريق كلّه.
ليس هناك شعور يضاهي هذا.
ستكون وحيدًا مع الآلهه.
والليالي سوف تشتعل بالنار.
سوف تروّض الحياة مباشرة لضحكة مثالية.
إنها المعركة الجيدة الوحيدة هناك.


"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."


- Charles Bukowski, Factotum

We Sound Like Strangers

Asura / Charles Farewell opens two outstanding chapters in his musical odyssey with [ 360 ], a powerful cinematic downtempo album which captures and enhances the essence of the original Asura sound with its slow grooving rhythms, entrancing melodies, deep flowing pads and ethnic instrumentations. 

This fourth album from Asura will stand as the coming out of Charles Farewell as an incredible composer of overlapping ambient genres, from ecstatic to chilled, groovy to uplifting, he offers the audience a wide open musical journey with finely chiselled orchestrations and a strong sense of space and timelessness. Mostly instrumental, the album offers a sublime vocal introduction courtesy of Ayten and discreet voice-overs from the artist. 

[ 360 ] is a lively and attractive record which presents three years of sound modelling, synth programming and deep immersion in multi-layered soundscapes. Peaceful and majestic.

The Final Thing On My Mind

Oh this broken dawn light
When my shooting feels right
There's just one final thing on my mind

Oh the mist of this dawn
The mist of a different dawn
The final thing on my mind?

Every waking dawn it's you I see
Coming back to me
Everything you did is a part of me
Ripped apart from me


How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?

Every waking dawn it's you I see
Coming back to me
Everything you did was a part to me
Ripped apart from me

How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?

How did we get to be this cold?
How did I let you get so far from me?
We got it so wrong, so wrong
How did we let it get this cold?
