Lyrics to the song: I see a time of uncertainty ahead, in a few years I saw fear spread... disparities in a sick world, there are people who made sadness their routine, happiness is rare out there, fear forces people people live like this... without ground, lost, overcome by difficult times. It's easier to accept and not want to see, the pain of so many people, we decided to marginalize. Today I woke up from a terrible nightmare, I saw people lying on the floor, was it really a nightmare I doubt it, just open your eyes and look carefully, dignity is like an empty well, gloomy, perhaps lost in time... there is a lack of reciprocity in our society, vanity corrodes principles and truths.

Uncertain times

LEARY IN THE AFTER-WORLD

This is a remix of the song Leary in the After-World, a track originally composed by Peter Grimbeek that mixes spoken word poetry and electronic music. The original version can be checked out at this link:

https://soundcloud.com/peter-grimbeek/leary-in-the-after-world

The song is about Timothy Leary, the famous American psychologist and writer who gained prominence in the 1960s for his advocacy of the therapeutic and spiritual potential of psychedelic drugs. Leary saw the internet as a continuation of his earlier beliefs in the power of technology to connect people and expand consciousness.

Writer of prose and poetry since mid-1960s, Peter Grimbeek started on acoustic guitar in 1978 and now uses GarageBand and Logic Pro software to compose electronic music. The incredible cadence of his voice while reciting poetry makes a fantastic counterpoint to his electro-style songs. I recommend a visit to his SoundCloud profile:

Hope you enjoy the remix.

LYRICS

Tim departed this life
Seated on a cloud
Like a long lost Pharoah
Having a glorious time.

He retained his famous cool
He kept his wits intact
He ignored the usual lures
I’ll have none of that.

One life ends
Another begins
Still on the outside
Looking in.

After the endless crowd
He found this place quiet
No more friends-followers
To keep him up at night.

But he couldn’t move on
And this was really hard
He liked being a traveller
Not a bird in a yard.

One life ends
Another begins
Still on the outside
Looking in.

For now Tim is numb
But one day soon
His bus will come
A ride out of this room.

He will find a grotto
Sink in its pool deep
Emerge free of the lotto*
Of post-life sleep.

One life ends
Another begins
Still on the outside
Looking in.
