here
held tightly to her side
light so easy to see
the needs
that I possess inside
gain possession of me
caught on fire
a sudden fire baby
so alive with flames
and there seems like no tomorrow
tomorrow to this game

feels so cool in your skin
it's like neon in your veins
it knows no compassion
it knows no grace
so Lord forgive me
Lord understand
the power of temptation's hand

strange
sometimes it seems so strange
at times I cannot fight
and though I'm not
bruised or defeated
I'm bleeding from my soul
temptation's lie
burns like fire baby
a never-ending flame
though I say prayers for tomorrow
tomorrow's just the same

feels so cool in your skin
it's like neon in your veins
it knows no compassion
it knows no grace
so Lord forgive me
Lord understand
the power of temptation's hand

Damien Jurado - "Beacon Hill" from 'Saint Bartlett', released 5/25/10 via Secretly Canadian

Saint Bartlett opens up with a grandiosity yet unheard on a Damien Jurado album. It strips away the many layers of paint from the house down the street where we know Jurado has occupied for the last decade. The new coat is exhilarating. It makes the whole neighborhood shine. It's a modest grandiosity; still homegrown. The mellotron swells, heavenly handclaps ring in stereo and big drums create a sky for the songs to fly in. And the words. Words spring forth from within the volcano of Jurado, full of hope. There's so much hope, in fact, that album opener "Cloudy Shoes" turns into a call-and-response with himself, as though it were a dialogue between two halves of himself.
"I wish that I could float up from the ground / I will never know what that's like"
Heavy stuff. Richard Swift's Spector-esque production is spot-on. He ferries Jurado across the river, where the metamorphosis occurs. He then ferries him back, and it is through Swift's lens that we see Jurado not as a folk singer, but as a mystic -- somewhere between Van Morrison, Scott Walker and Wayne Coyne. Saint Bartlett was made entirely at Swift's National Freedom studio in Oregon, in just under a week with only Jurado and Swift as the performers.

Fairytale

A mine is a hole anywhere in the world with at least one Cornishman at the bottom of it.

"The term diaspora carries a sense of displacement. The population so described finds itself for whatever reason separated from its national territory, and usually its people have a hope, or at least a desire, to return to their homeland at some point, if the "homeland" still exists in any meaningful sense."

Vocals taken from "Sogna fiore mio" by Lucilla Galeazzi.

We don't need no borders.

The Golden Tornadoes: Supercharger

The last three tracks I have posted are all slow, so I think it's time for something fast.  This track clocks at 192bpm and I had to practice the guitar-parts a lot. "Supercharger" is another relic of my old Surf-band, which I have rerecorded and rearranged from scratch now. Compared to the original versions I have refined the chord-progression and the melody-line of the verse. While I worked on the arrangement for the two guitars I have learned, that the classic Surf-rhythm is -xx-x and not -x-xx as I thought years ago so I have immediately used this new knowledge for the rhythm-guitar. When I searched for a good sound for the rhythm-guitar I stopped this time at the middle-PU of the Ibanez, which I have never used before I think. For the lead-guitar I used the first time my new Guild X-175 equipped with Flatwound-strings, but I am still not sure, if I will keep it. I also packed out my bass again and I tell you it's damned hard to play bass, if you are not used to play it.

Instruments used:

Bass: Bassculture Picco bass played with a big plectrum

Rhythm guitar: Ibanez FRM-100 on the left, middle PU

Lead guitar: Guild X-175 with Bigsby on the right, both PU

Lyrics:

The Skeleton 
she rests upon 
the bloods Lagoon
Here eyes are waves of dust
blink Sea faring moods
Sits thin among the
wind as it causes her bones to groove like sand...
blows her down the thirsty stream
the arrowheads of ancestors
gleam 
in the slivered 
moons faint steaming
the rain in outer space
burns up bits of her marrow
she bandages with rocks 
along the trails of gypsum guarded by sparrows
her heart it beats it bleeds on
through her timid ribs
you can see the valves
like locamotives trying to
hold onto blood shes got no skin
to keep it all in
if the wind dies down it'll all fall out
for the breeze is holding her into a piece
