“Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.
You forget some things, dont you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.” 
― Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Finish Line (demo)

Magnets: 

We attracted like magnets then fell in love, 
Like two bi-polar opposites, until we touched 
We became the same, and then repelled each other away 

Here I am 
I'm standing with my back against this wall 
Of preconceived notions I'm starting to reject 
I used to think of myself as unstoppable 
Until I met the immovable object 

Maybe we were meant to love from a far 
Lately it's been harder than we thought 
I wish I could be positively charged 
Whenever you aren't 

But we attracted like magnets and fell in love, 
Like two bi-polar opposites, until we touched, 
We became the same, then repelled each other away 

Hello again 
I'm back from the point of no return 
I had to learn to get back up on my feet 
Though I do appreciate the attempt to feign concern 
This heart still has the energy to beat 

Maybe we were meant to love from a far 
Lately it's been harder than we thought 
I wish I could be positively charged 
Whenever you're not 

All these complications 
Require our patience 
But we're so wrapped up 
In our opposite polarizations 
Stuck in suspension 
This unwanted tension 
Is forcing us apart 
Now I'm starting to question 

Why we attracted like magnets and fell in love, 
Like two bi-polar opposites, until we touched, 
We became the same, then repelled each other away

Pretty O.P.

Gone With The Breeze: 

It's the moments like these
That fade into memories
Before you know it
They'll be gone with the breeze
So frankly my dear
We should do as we please
And make a memory just like this
Let's pause now and reminisce
In its perfection
True beauty lies
Deep inside our intentions

Now I'm conflicted
As It turns out she's addictive
And so I use the drug to fix it
To keep myself uplifted
To keep myself high
'Cause I truly don't know how I should reply
Though I suppose I have got to try
To explain my side
We are both adults here
There's no reason for us to hide

From the moments like these
That fade into memories
Before you know it
They'll be gone with the breeze
So frankly my dear
We should do as we please
And make a memory, just like this
Let's pause now and reminisce
As we grow older
True beauty lies
In the eyes of the beholder

And I do behold you
I don't know why I never told you
Though it now more than ever holds true
Things won't be the way they used to
I can assure you of that

It's the moments like these
That influence these melodies
Before you notice
They'll be gone with the breeze
So frankly my dear
We should do as we please
And make a memory such as this
Let's pause now and reminisce
In its perfection
True beauty lies
Just outside of our perception

Now If you take me the way that I am
I will promise to do the best that I can
But if you choose to leave me again
Then frankly my dear, I won't give a damn
So if you choose to take me the way that I am
I'll promise to do the best that I can
But if you choose to leave me again
Then frankly my dear, I won't give a damn

Gone with the Breeze

Gone With The Breeze

Marooned On Olympus Mons

an outline of bottles 
traces the mattress 
when i'm on my first 
you've already downed a fifth 

when i lay dreaming 
of heroes at their end 
thankful to wake up 
the end begins again 

pauses are heavy when 
words are far between 
its funny how crushed i get 
when the meaning is empty 

when i lay dreaming 
of heroes at their end 
thankful to wake up 
the end begins again 

will you join me tonight 
celebrate what we're not 
had some other plans but 
must have forgot

Roger Eno - "Silk" from This Floating World (R38)

First track from the new Jon Hassell album 'Listening To Pictures (Pentimento Volume One)' - Out now:
http://smarturl.it/listeningtopictures

pen·ti·men·to / noun
Reappearance in a painting of earlier images, forms, or strokes that have been changed and painted over.

Forty years since its creation, Jon Hassell's Fourth World aesthetic remains a powerful influence on modern electronic music. Continuing his lifelong exploration of the possibilities of recombination and musical gene-splicing, fragments of performance are sampled, looped, overdubbed and re-arranged into beguiling unexpected shapes. Hassell applies the painterly technique of ‘pentimento’ to the arrangements, teasing out texture by the overlaying of sound upon sound, or a carefully timed reveal of the delicate bones pinning the frame of a track together.

The release of this new album also sees the launch of Jon’s own label, Ndeya (pronounced “in-day-ya”), which will be a home for new work as well as well as selected archival releases, including re-presses of classic sides and some astonishing unreleased music.
