Waterfall (JSMatteson)

This piece was written specially for the second edition of the "Omnibus Laboratorium" in Tashkent in August 2006. The piece was inspired by Georg Heym's Berlin I:

Beteerte Fässer rollten von den Schwellen 
Der dunklen Speicher auf die hohen Kähne. 
Die Schlepper zogen an. Des Rauches Mähne 
Hing rußig nieder auf die öligen Wellen. 

Zwei Dampfer kamen mit Musikkapellen. 
Den Schornstein kappten sie am Brückenbogen. 
Rauch, Ruß, Gestank lag auf den schmutzigen Wogen 
Der Gerbereien mit den braunen Fellen. 

In allen Brücken, drunter uns die Zille 
Hindurchgebracht, ertönten die Signale 
Gleichwie in Trommeln wachsend in der Stille. 

Wir ließen los und trieben im Kanale 
An Gärten langsam hin. In dem Idylle 
Sahn wir der Riesenschlote Nachtfanale. 

Berlin I

Sometimes the reality of daily life can get you down. Eating shit all day at a job, then coming home to do chores and work on my music and business. Now that I'm making a lot more progress my attitude has improved a lot, but it can still get tough sometimes. This song was written in a real negative state, making the statement that life is short, dark, and complex.
