Allgro Presto Assai

Allegro Presto Assai (Extended Version) 11 January 2024

Step Inside

Lay me down
upon the white table.
Administer your anesthesia.
Cut me open.
Dissect me.
Remove what no longer serves.

My inabilities mount.
My insecurities cloud.
Disassemble me.
Take me to the edge of the lake
and I will sink, numbly to the bottom
happy.

Kiss the mermaid.
The blood dilutes.
Eat my heart 
until I have no meaning.

They call my name.
The sound is distant.
I am not me.
I have ascended
to you.

"George Harrison's song "Pisces Fish" from his 2002 album Brainwashed is about the infinite river of souls flowing into the ocean of perfection. The song's lyrics and music are inspired by Raja Yoga, a key book in Harrison's spiritual life.
The lyrics and music are inspired by Raja Yoga, a key book in Harrison's spiritual life.
The aquatic theme comes from the final words of Raja Yoga.
The music recalls the earlier eco-etchings All Things Must Pass and The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp.
The title is a reference to his own zodiac sign, and the guitarist lived out an abundance of change in his professional life.

Pisces Fish-George Harrison (Cover)

A new composition:
Lyrics:

I'm tired of all the noise
The chatter that drowns our voices
And I’m weary, oh so weary
Of the games that are played
Where laughter turned to shadows grey

Oh my, oh my, what have we become
Chasing dreams in a world that feels so numb
I’m tired of you, I’m tired of them
Searching for solace where the light dims

I’m tired of empty nights
Where hope fades into fights
When the words we used to sing
Are lost, like whispers in the breeze
Tell me where, did the good times go

But in this weary heart,
There’s a flicker yet to spark,
If we can find our way
Back to where we started
Can we save what’s left of our art

So, I’ll breathe in the dawn
Let the shadows withdraw
I’m really tired of this show
But I still hear the music
Of hope rising up
Like a song from the ground
Oh my, oh my, we’ll find what we’ve lost
Together, friends, we’ll carry the cost

Tired of this Show

This song has a metaphor I've used once before. in the track Autumn in the Wind. In that song we are "Standing waves to winds of harm... In this song we are too "... standing waves"
I love the idea of us being standing waves to poisonous mind sets. So, a standing wave is a sound wave that cancels another wave out because of the relevant symmetry between themselves and the surroundings and we get silence instead of the two sounds. So when using it now I'm empowering us as the standing waves to hate, as hate is all created on our heads just like love is...


Lyrics

I was wrong
Flew off that handle
That was made ok
It found responsible person
Remnant of reason
Bloomed harmony season
Intelligence for my emotional treason

So cheers man
Cheers for time
Cheers for love
May melody rhyme
Life's too short to not care
My disillusionment made fair

I was wrong
Now that's not matter
Our standing waves
Wrapped that in batter
We seasoned sane
With simple tame
Harmony in collaboration again

I just listened to a very interesting piece on the radio about emotional intelligence. Since becoming a parent I've obviously thought a lot about this and generally consider myself to be that. Parenting is the single biggest thing that has challenged my EI in my adult life although seeing how my kids act a mirror of me is very enlightening indeed...

However I wasn't emotionally intelligent the day I deleted this upload...

So this is a collab with superb artist Remnant60 https://soundcloud.com/remnant60

Not so long ago when I was flying off the handle trying to make sense of politics in art and very disillusioned by whats going on... Remnant60 called me out on that and how I maybe project against just one side sometimes... I flew off the handle before we even had a chance to talk... Slapped him with some words, Unfollowed him and deleted our collab... What a muppet I was...

I've been waiting for the opportunity to make it right and make it better...

The song musically hasn't changed from how it was when I last had it up but I added a poem to mark that negative turned positive...

My outlook on life has changed a little and I have Remnant60 and a few other straight talking and silent SoundClouders to thank for that...

You know our problems only get fixed when we are emotionally intelligent towards one another ... even if our truths clash... As artist Sound23 advertises so wonderfully with his birds (https://soundcloud.com/sound23-941370948/dream-of-better-times-in-2023?si=d02356731cea4d7bbd391293880bdeeb&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)... We need to fly both directions at the same time from a middle ground and accept each other for how we are and what we are. Once thats not hurting anyone else then acceptance is the key I suppose...
Listen to Acceptance by Neowakan (Aileen Asatouri) on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/VYVk31WNDkPDQwCK8 Aileen paints that nicely with her amazing instrumental track there.

The expert on the radio said we learn our emotional intelligence from viewing other people and in turn honing our empathy. Well Remnant gave me an ickle upgrade that day...

It's worrying how the young generation replaces watching people with screens though... They're all going to be weirdos unless that changes..

I suppose, it's ok to be wrong if you're prepared to be right again about it when the light actually shines on any subject. Don't be afraid to admit your wrong. Be proud of whatever you've discovered even if you need to hold your hands up and say. My bad 🙌🏽
