Capricorn

A blood colored wristband around my wrist
Handcuffs locked around dad’s wrists

A broken pen left that still writes
Was our only remembrance when he was taken

Boot prints won’t last on your body, tulip flower*
Sing “Woman Life Freedom” to me again, tulip flower

Though boots clacks are heard in the streets at night
We are not afraid. Shake the city with your voice my dear one 

Our children’s red blood is on the knife**
Even if there will be no father here tomorrow morning


*Tulip is a symbol of sacrifice and martyrdom in Persian literature.
**A specific kind of knife used to sharpen bamboo pens.

Woman Life Freedom

Emotion

This is a remake of a track originally written in 1998, the year after leaving university (24 years ago, gulp).  

The original was all ambient-ish rave piano of 4 uplifting chords with a valiant attempt to get some acid bass squelches and a breakbeat out of my digital kit at the time(which was a Korg 01 R/W module and the Roland M-DC 1 Dance module - I still have both in working order).

Anyhow, the remake speeds it up from 90 to 110 bpm, adds vocals (thanks loopcloud), proper analogue squelch, a variety of analogue and digtial drums  - with a new arrangement.

I kept the original title (even though there's nothing in the lyrics that refers to it). At the time, my job was writing algorithms for the Tesco clubcard for clever personalised offers.  Over 1 million different targeted offers to 10M+ in the UK - from a program that the 22 year old me had written.  The title refers to that wizard of oz moment of little person making a lot of fuss.  Looking back, that was probably a career high!   haha.

Beyond The Curtain

Between the cheeseburgers, dog barks and the lyrics...I sweaaaarrr I'm just high on life :)
