I Don't Want To Know

Blueprint for track that became 'Sandycove Milk'.

Inspired by wondrous music by Conin, whose track 'Kitty's Wake' reminded of the rich clay of Joyce's 'Finnegan's Wake'. This track, about the opening pages of Joyce's Ulysses, borrows coffee spoons, forever those of T.S. Eliot, in an effort to add sweet milk...drawn from the milk-well of honeyed Sandycove.  The lyric speaker is, notionally, Stephen Daedalus. For practical purposes, the lyric speaker is James Joyce himself. His aim? To hit Haines for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency] before heading to France on a ferry. Whilst Haines still feels guilty (sheepish) about having fired his pistol at an imaginary cat he thought he saw in the fireplace in the Martello tower in Sandycove (now the Joyce Museum....a sacred...magical place, whose attendant Joyce scholars told me about the Haines' imaginary cat episode....it is all true...yet also dovetails eerily with the first chapter of Ulysses).

The reference to Haines having consumed Absinthe is a narrative fiction, invented to offer an explanation for his dangerous behaviour. No peer reviewed evidence capable of demonstrating Absinthe has hallucinogenic properties, exists, to my knowledge.


Lyrics

[chorus]
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar

Hellenise me now
She come and go
talking bout Michelangelo
there will be time
there will be time

do I dare to eat a quiche?
I shall wear enchanted trousers
and float upon the beach

I’m still dreamin
something happened last night

Haines downed a snot-green bottle of Absinthe
started shooting at his Schrödinger's cat
in the fireplace
looks real sheepish this morning
gonna hit him for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency]
and get outta here
gliding on the Emerald sea
to Paris
with Haines’ guinea in my pocket
when I’m at sea

gonna go uptown now
hitting the top deck of this here Martello
gonna watch the mailboat
glide on an Emerald sea
gonna rest my shiny elbows
on the jagged granite
just leavin the harbour

and here comes stately Buck
bearing a bowl of lather
crossed razor and mirror as well
holding the bowl aloft
and intoning...intonin

Introibo ad altare Dei
sacred chalice
sacred cross
and now I’m lookin at the sea
Thallata...sweet mother
Hellenise me
mailboat clearin the harbour
rage of Caliban inside me
cos of Haines....[firing a gun inside the Martello tower when drunk the night before, at a giant cat he imagined was sitting near the fireplace]
sweet Thallata
buttercups on the quilt
powdered musk and gauds of amber beads
calm now like the sea
there will be time
there will be time

Martello

The End

This song started out as an attempt to cover the mostly instrumental "Sweet Florence" by the French Caribbean guitarist and originator of zouk, Jacob Desvarieux. I added lyrics and a rock-funk breakdown in the middle, and it became its own creature.

In October 2023 I went to a fantastic live show of the band Say She She in Washington, DC. Before the band came onstage, as is typical of most concerts, music was being played as the crowd chatted in anticipation of the show. A song started playing that immediately enchanted me: a deep synth bass line followed by a funky slow beat that resembled reggaeton, with a beautiful and haunting guitar solo and various synth touches. I tried using the app Shazam on my phone to identify the song, and it kept failing to hear it properly amid the loud ambient noises of the theater. I was running out of time to identify the song. As the band came onstage, and just as the song started to fade out, my phone identified it on the third try as "Sweet Florence" by Jacob Desvarieux. In the coming weeks I listened to the song over and over, and I felt that desire that musicians have to create my own version of it, to cover it.

I was unable to reproduce the wonderful synth of the original since my keyboard doesn't go that low, so I had to change the octave of one note. I also had to layer several synth basses over each other to add to the deepness. Making this song was also a lesson in sound quality; I am not able to replicate, with my current setup, the deep sonic quality of the original. Trying to play the guitar hook made me realize how skillful Mr. Desvarieux's playing is. My version is less funky than the original but interesting and rhythmic nonetheless. Rest in peace, Jacob Desvarieux, and thank you for such a fabulous song.

Lyrics:
It’s easy to believe
When your brain's been washed and the privilege won
It’s easy to achieve
With your fingers crossed and they’re on the gun
Ain’t hard to see the signs
Of a deep conspiracy
If you don’t read between the lines
And don’t learn the history
It’s easy to believe

Solo

You signed yourself up 
‘Cause they’re filling up your bank account with cash
You got sugar in the cup
And the lies you tell are the latest fash-ion
It’s effortless to see
When you take a big gulp of the sweet kool aid
You see the enemy
Just beat ‘em to a pulp, bow your head, and pray
And it’s easy to believe

It’s easy to achieve
When your mind’s made up and you live in fear
It’s easy not to leave 
When the only place you know is here
The only place you know is here 
It's easy, easy to believe

Easy To Believe (aka Sweet Florence)

This is a piece of music honoring the 5 year old inside of you! You know the one, with a rich and vibrant imagination, full of energy! An explorer, a dreamer, pure momentum and joy <3! This has been a piece long in the making where I had the pleasure of revisiting my inner 5 year old, it was emotional, it was joyous, it has become a celebration - and now you can listen to it and hopefully go on your own adventure together with your inner child :-)!

World Crack Up (ft. Hemanifezt)

You don't have to believe me
I'm not pleased I was right
I'm not proud of my life
I just see certain things 
There're lessons I've learned 
Wickedness in high places
I've discerned 
Are you hip to the subliminal
Why believe the words of criminals 
Put faith in this world 
You'll be let down 
It's far worse than you feared 
Yet it's far better too
There's nothing they can do
To stop love
We're in for dark days 
There's nothing they can do
To stop love
We're in for dark days 
There's nothing they can do
With their digital cage
I just see certain things 
Many times I've been burned
The powers of darkness 
Everywhere discerned
Are you hip to the subliminal?
Why believe the words of criminals 
Put faith in this world 
You'll be let down 




Faith in this World

The colorful symbols are my message to everyone... 🌍 ☮︎ 👍 🍀 2024 for a better world...!

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band from Athens, GR - debut album "Rock and Roll Kills" OUT NOW: https://shockthealgorithm.bandcamp.com/album/rock-and-roll-kills

I'll follow you back when I can.

Musics, dooms, whatvers. =j

"I'm plays all the instruments and screams."

https://brianmelt.bandcamp.com/merch/tie-dye-t-shirt

Your basic, dopy guitarist, I've been playing all my life. Released 1st album, recorded in 2010, half-ass released and haphazardly introduced on fazebuuk and twigger in 2013.  It was a disaster.  Another.  See link for archived bannedcamp squat "splat - off the windscreen" below.  Eco-friendly "bamboo" 15gb USB also available at bandcamp.  I know.  "Laaame."  Again, link below.  I plays all instruments, sings, do my own recordings and productions, but I use outside helps with masterings.  I thinks I likes Sage Audio.  Anyway...


Playing live regularly isn't really feasible for me at this point in time, but I still love making musics. Leveraging pt8 & w^vista installed on a rusty boat anchor, Tapatíos, pet hairs, superglues and duct tapes, I'm working on a 2nd album. But, I need fund for copyrights, publishings and "all that jazz."  So buy somethings if you can.  Limited quantity. Rare. Unique.  Maybe a "splat - off the windscreen"  15gb bamboo (66% less ecocides) USB with album art.  Great for sampls, other musics, pictures or works... just don't use it for espionages.  ;)  (coming soon to a Bannedcamps near EU) Or just slip me a tips through paypals. 

My album is also available for download (I think) at CD Baby (seedy-baby to me) but, honestly, I have trouble with CD Baby and Bandcamp due to the multiple sign-ins and various accounts required.  I just get fed up and say "aw forget it." But the people at CD Baby are super nice and try really hard to help. I tell them "no, it's me. really."  I'm hopeless. =D


I appreciate you listening and checking out my soundsclouds. Very much. Thank you!!


Laugh, even if through the tears.


Collaborations warmly welcome.


I am a goof. =j

I love to hear from people  =j
