Say What Now(Radio Edit)

End Of Summer

This is a cover of a Ladakhi song, "Ston gyi lu / Autumn". It appears on the LP "LADAKH : Songs & Dances from the Highlands of Western Tibet".

My version is from an album of songs improvised and played on the Spitian khokpo (with other instruments). All those tracks are up here... and if you want them, just send me a message.

There is also a book of drawings, from my trip to Spiti:

I wrote the English lyrics, arranged it, and played the instruments: khokpo (like a banjo), bulbul tarang (Hindi: बुलबुल तरंग literally “waves of nightingales” -- an autoharp), synthesizers, some simple electronic percussion, and questionable vocals.

LYRICS

Days getting shorter, birds queue in the blue.
Head south for winter, green foods become few.
 I had a message, should have sent it last week:
Last apricots, still a few to seek.

Warm days forever, impossible 
dreams of burrowing creatures swaddled in fur
Fruit lasts forever in candified peel,
but heat travels fast when you know what to feel.

Brooks become frigid, water glances through
ice covered windows, sparkling as a few
late ripened apples fall upon the ground
under dark shadows, echoing the sound.

When death is certain, it will be the day
to throw off the garments of summertime play.
One time she said, "Ain't the weather so fine?"
But that has happened since 1969.

Down from the mountains the animals return
to stay in the stables, wood piled to burn.
I met a fairy, told me not to wait
Look at the moon and never hesitate.

Her voice said clearly, "this will come again."
Just like the orbit 'round Earth's meridian.
A drying leaf clings to a thread up there,
While a season's transition hangs in the air.

I made this remix with the festival stage in mind.

The original is already so amazing, I hope that my re-imagining can do justice to the original artists and artistic direction.

All feedback is welcome.

Thanks for listening!

Nurko x Haliene - Retraced(Civic Remix)

One word I would use to describe this song: Melodic.

Any and all feedback is welcome.

Thanks for listening!
