ahora están muertos.   /   are dead now.
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...

África (Hombres de tierra)

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

3. The Clinic Is Gettin Closer

Lyrics:

Do you remember, that September,
We carved our names into a tree
You were so young love, but life goes on love
Are you standing next to me?

You were the wise one
I was the bold one
We took a chance on the evergreen
We were the heart-strong
We had our own song
We took a king down to his knees

Hold me down to the ground
No, I don’t want to leave
Hold me down to the ground
We’ll leave the wind for the trees

Life will give you bridges
Forks deep sunk you’ll see
Run along these ridges
Cause this is not for free

Hold me down to the ground
No, I don’t want to leave
Hold me down to the ground
We’ll leave the wind, ahh, for the trees

Do you remember, that September
I bid you off into the clouds
I can still taste you, I can still smell you
See your face within the crowds

Hold me down to the ground
No, I don’t want to leave
Hold me down to the ground
No, I don’t want to leave
Hold me down to the ground
We’ll leave the wind for the trees

I had been really wanting to make new music with Calebass. I have been making a lot of songs that lean more heavily toward hip hop the last couple years and felt like heading back toward the direction of my earlier years on SoundCloud. Luckily Calebass was willing and ready and the music flowed easily and steadily. Jon did an amazing job adding an element of jazz with his bass and Janine really awakened the psychedelic spirit and Age of Aquarius with her vocals. It was extra bonus to have both Sinfields participate in this song making this a real SC family affair. Lyrically, I was inspired by the children’s book, Ox-Cart Man, which I love, and all the felt mouse toys I recently made for my cat at my daughter’s request. 

Thanks for all your years of listening everyone!

This is dedicated to the joys of making things at home.

Lyrics:

Felt
Of natural fibers  
Pelt 
Nature’s the provider  

Sheep and goats and muskoxen
Wool and cashmere qiviut 
Nothing that’s a toxin only
Simply as god giveth
Dyes of plants and insects 
Cochineal that’s rich and intense
I light up the incense 
As you gather up our projects
Single felting needle
Scissors from the cupboard
We are crafting peoples
Churning our own butters

Lalalalalalala
Lalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalala

Saint Clement fleeing from his city
Felted wool upon his blistered piggies

Accidentally felted 
From moisture and friction 
It took the shape of
Socks 
Accidentally felted 
From the moisture and friction 
It took the shape of
Socks

I dry skins in my oven 
Till the thin fur turns 
Orange summon 
Urnamman as smoke drifts to heaven
Waking up the legends battling 
Over bragging rights to the origins 
The color of carrot  
Felt hoods dyed and blocked 
To make hats 
I inhale the vapors  
And see the stories come to life 
As a small white cat adhered to a board 
Acts out the dreams of a young child bored 
In a mad scene 
Of scientists looking for a vaccine 
To score points for the lord of carotene 
Off with his head

Calebass, Jon Lock, Janine Levinson, Alex and Russell Sinfield & the Couch King - St. Clement

Lyrics:
I could sit in the corner all night
I can mingle with the people
And have conversations with everyone
But you don't invite me to your parties
Any longer in your frontal lobe

You're using reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy

Oh, can't you see?
Won't you adjust your frequency?
We've been on this wave length for so long
 I feel that there's something wrong

You're using reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy
My love. it  keeps coming back to me
Reverse telepathy, reverse telepathy (can't you see?)
I feel like i'm dining on 
Edible electricity!
Reverse telepathy

Darling, won't you come back to me?
You're using your
Reverse telepathy
My messages keep bouncing back to me
Reverse telepathy!

Reverse Telepathy

Metanoia: (psychology), the process of experiencing a psychotic "breakdown" and subsequent, positive psychological re-building or "healing"

________________
oh sweet friend
you wanna know the truth
I’m so tired of the world 
and all the news
the places people go
they’re crazy in their heads
it’s everywhere,
and I’m just too confused

I’ll swim until I’m sane
until I’m far away
I’ll bleed into the ocean
I’ll melt into the sky
I’ll bleed into the earth
and then I’ll be gone
at peace

oh don’t ask why
I really wanna live
I really wanna die
I’ll crawl into the ocean
I’ll bleed into the sky
until I’m far away
I’ll swim until I’m sane
I’ll find another way
that no one ever sees
where no one ever goes
and it’s all light

Metanoia

Bad timing is when you're out of sync with the world. You know those days: catch every red light, little problems compound, death by a thousand aggravations. I think we would all gladly go back to those everyday annoyances. This is some free association on this topic. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
I was walking in while she was walking out
I never seem to know when i'm going to hit the good times
I've got my Lotto numbers
I've been using my birthday and anniversary
But those those numbers never seem to come in
(I'm suffering!)
From bad timing

Mistaking hobo signs for valentines
And now my Mother-in -Law
My girlfriend and my wife
They're playing cards together every Saturday night
(suffering)
From bad timing

As my paycheck starts to decrease
I'm smuggling extra elbow grease
(yeah)Even a bad tattoo a conversation piece

 Ah well, the CIA and my bill collectors
They're joining forces
Don't you know, don't you know
(I'm suffering. Suffering!)
Don't you know, don't ya know, don't ya know
Suffering from bad timing
Bad timing
I'm suffering
But I'm feeling mighty zen

Bad Timing

There’s a map upon your face
Says join the human race
Often whispered sweetly

There’s a hunger in your eyes
Tells your stomach not to lie
Often whispered sweetly

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Is it magical?
Not so physical 
Metaphysical
Not invisible
Not divisible
Nothing risible 
Shoot the animal, Officer Dibble

Pooh pooh pooh pooh!

Often whispered sweetly

They rely on the ways of a gun 
Keep it simple
Keep it pithy
They rely on the ways of a gun

Something in your eye
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your mind
That’s tugging at your heart
Something in your eye
Is tugging at your heart

Pooh pooh pooh pooh

Officer Dibble..

Let the Rain (On Spotify)

Lyrics:
I come and visit you every month or so
Or when I can find the time
I wheel you out to the gardens
And down to the Dining Room
You don't seem to know who I am
You tell me that you've "taken 7 lovers"
One for "every continent in your mind"

TV  Stars they never let you down
They come around
They follow you through the years
The re-runs and the tears
TV Stars they never let you down
The way i've let you down
The way I let you down

I feel you every time I laugh
I feel you when I fight my prejudices
I feel you when I question those who control the master switches
TV Stars
Goddamn It, come back to the land of the living
TV Stars, they never let you down

At 3 o'clock, you turn the TV on
You can't hear a word I say...

TV Stars Never Let You Down
