Palimpsest

I quote from Frédéric Chopin "Etude" op. 10 no. 12 
and  I quote from Pawel Strzelecki "Sonata for Violoncello and Piano" (2015).

With quotes from Pawel Strzelecki & Frédéric Chopin.
I don't want to valorise myself with these names. I am not a composer like them. But this moment was created under the influence of these two exciting Polish composers.

Lyrics:

Lockers slam, final bell rings clear,
Perfume and sweat, emotions sincere
Tim's goofy grin, Jack's quiet nod,
Friends since childhood, now paths odd
If only I knew, this moment I'd chase

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If I'd known then what I know now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts

Grandpa's den, pipe smoke curls,
Cards snap, his laughter unfurls,
Weathered hands, stories untold,
Moments more precious than gold
If only I'd known, I'd change that night

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If we'd treasured then what we've lost now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts

Grandpa's den, pipe smoke curls,
Cards snap, his laughter unfurls,
Weathered hands, stories untold,
Moments more precious than gold
(Moments more precious than gold)
If only I'd known, I'd change that night

Time slips away, like sand through our hands
The future unknown, as we make our plans

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
If we'd treasured then what we've lost now
I'd hold on tighter, somehow
To these precious lasts
(These precious lasts)

Shadows lengthen, day fades to night
Memories flicker like candlelight
Each passing second, a gift in disguise
Open your heart, open your eyes

City lights flicker, radio hums our song
One last hug, 'See you soon,' feels so wrong
'We have all the time,' he said with a smile
If only we knew, we'd talk for a while
In photographs and fading scents
The love in each moment we spent

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
Now I know what I wish I'd known then
I'll hold on tighter, again and again
To these precious lasts
(These precious lasts)

Life's rich tapestry, woven with care,
Threads of lasts, love everywhere,
These precious lasts
We'll always have
These precious lasts
In every goodbye, a hello waits there

These are the lasts we don't recognize
Fleeting moments before our goodbyes
Now I know what I wish I'd known then
I'll hold on tighter, again and again
To these precious lasts

Precious lasts

Unrecognized Goodbyes

"Another Melody For La Pioggia" composed by LINIR OR

Autumn comes, and the darkness soon will cover the light of the sun. Soon all of us will be just victims of the darkness. And as darkness is coming something sweet and beautiful approaches our hearts.

Variation of Concerto in F Major by Johann Sebastian Bach

Peter Bargosian, vox
Sparky Bonehead, words and sound design

We were the teenage wasteland
Apathy with a skateboard
with sonic youth to guide us
Anarchy was ours and she 
provided us with nourishment
The tired and jaded kept us laughing
There was no future
only the remnants of someone else's vision
We took the scraps and built a temporary
Anti-contemporary

Nothing would last forever
only a shelter before the storm
And when the fall of society came 
we would dance and sing and revel in the rubble
Our inheritance

We were sub-culture gutter punks
Daze and daydream
Nights of folly,
they belonged to us
They told us it was wrong
but that's why we did it anyway
There was no future
Our inheritance

Temporary Anarchy

Your Fool by Keri Johnson

Album cover design: Judy Thang

There's a smoke signal rising in the night sky
should've listened to the voice warning me inside

No, I never stopped believing in your light
something I could not imagine, it was blindsight

You're a liar- and I'm your fool

You're a liar-and I'm your fool

Caught up in your web, believing what I wanted to
slowly dying every day that I deny my truth

Now I'm picking up the pieces all that I been thru
kept me tied, I'll never go back tho you ask me to
