Purple Haze

A short, theatrical piece for solo bassoon, I wrote "Lurch" to perform a Dada themed banquet presented by the Auckland Art Gallery Foundation in May 2016. It is dedicated to Judy Millar, who was the artistic director for this fantastic event (also featuring food by Peter Gordon!).

Paul Roth / Ian Douglas-Moore 2018 Track 3

THIS MOMENT
yeah it was just another Saturday 
with too much time on my hands
did a backward somersault 
cartwheel and handstand
I got so used to no love in my heart 
thought I must be wearin' a keep out sign
then you appeared from outta nowhere
just in the nick of time
you could cover me in platinum or dust me off with gold
or you could cast me in solid silver..but all I know is..

this moment right now is all that there is
this moment with you this moment of bliss

I was watchin' total crap on TV 
absent family and friends on my mind
I thought misunderstandings and hurt feelings 
are supposed to heal with time
you took hand and said it'll be OK
as you pulled loves daggers out of me
you said the only thing that really matters
is love.. and it comes for free
you could cover me in platinum or dust me off with gold
or you could cast me in solid silver..but all I want..is

this moment right now is all that there is
this moment with you this moment of bliss

yeah I'm the world's most successful loser
you'll probably ever see
but just as long as you are here with me
I feel I've won first prize... I feel like I...
won the lottery.. I've found my pot of gold..
I've finally hit the jackpot.. I've found my treasure trove

I don't have a lot of fancy thing but I'm happy with what I got
I prefer a plain cheeseburger to one with the lot
havin' it all ain't all it's cracked up to be
it's the simple things matter the most
livin' in the here and now with the one you love
hold them close

this moment right now is all that there is
this moment with you this moment of bliss

'THIS MOMENT' ~ from forthcoming album 'Flightless Bird' early 2019
