Disaster Snake - The Architect

Irrepressible pangs of despair and ennui (1) (1)

Live except for the harmonies, which are existentially impossible for Maz to to sing at the same time as the melody.

Everything else was sung, played, recorded and produced in one go, with amps, speakers and mics etc placed around the room in advance to get the sound picture of the folk tale (three sisters and a riddling geezer). There are only two of us!

This is our first Child: Child Ballad 1. Not the 'Cruel Sister' version by Pentangle but the 'happily married' 2013 version by Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer.

There were three sisters in the north
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
And they lived in their mother's house
And you'll beguile a lady soon
There came a man one evening late
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
He came knocking at the gate
And you'll beguile a lady soon

The eldest sister let him
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
And locked the door with a silver pin
And you'll beguile a lady soon
The second sister made his bed
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
And laid soft pillows 'neath his head
And you'll beguile a lady soon
The youngest sister, fair and bright
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
She lay beside him all through the night
And you'll beguile a lady soon

And in the morning, come the day
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
She said "Young man, will you marry me?"
And you'll beguile a lady soon
He said "Yes, I'll marry thee
Lay the bend to the bonny broom
If you can answer this for me:
And you'll beguile a lady soon
The answers to the riddles are: envy, flattery, rumour, regret, love.

Riddles Wisely Expounded

Met a Japanese woman when I was 21
Didn’t know then she was the one
Married a really nice guy at 25
Raised some kids, she was a really good mum
Didn’t know then, she was the one
The one, the one, the one I wanted to stay
We travelled to many places
Left her guy behind
But then she said see ya later alligator, he’s waiting for me
Goodbye
See you next life
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, don’t cry
泣かないで
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, don’t cry
泣かないで
It’s just goodbye
Years and years and years go by
Years and years and years go by
Those years, they just roll by
You’re in my dreams still every night
Every night, see you next life
Guess it’s goodbye, goodbye
Guess it’s goodbye, goodnight
Goodbye for now, goodnight
Goodnight my love, goodnight
Goodnight my love, goodnight
Goodnight
お休み なさい

泣かないで See you next life

Who thought 
That we'd go this far
All the seasons change 
Still my love remains 
For you 
Babydoll it's true
That you turn me on
I've been on the hunt 
Searching for you (3x)
My Gemini

You're ruled by air 
Can't pin you down 
Beauty of two 
Inside your smile
You play the role 
Up to the tee 
You serve your looks (hah)
And you serve them for me 
Serve them for me 
Only for me 
My Gemini

You are born in spring and that's okay 
You rule the thing that we call change
You're mutable I wish I was like you my babydoll

My Gemini

I just want you in my life
