Lyrics:
Walking off the pier again
She's walking off with an old friend
The stories come, sustain your life
Stories about the afterlife

Watching the Jetsons, to get free!
Hoping that ISIL don't bury me
Watching explosions on my screen
Blowing shit up with that kerosene

Just walk away, just walk away
A walk away, just walk away
Don't stop to pray, just walk away
Just walk away, just walk away

She buried him, to move on again
Don't need the nuts, to condemn
Her for living her own way
So she's decided to walk away

Walk away, just walk away
Now walk away, just walk away
Don't stop to pray, just walk away
Just walk away, just walk away

William Basinski - Melancholia II (400%)

Jimena initiated this song idea with a melody/progression idea a couple of months back.  Like most other collabs we've done, we bounced ideas back and forth via SoundCloud prototype tracks and just let it grow organically.  At first, we had only a somewhat reggae/ska feel going with the verse, but then we  stumbled upon a useful chip-tune type of oscillation setting that was catchy, flexible and begged to be rocked.  Suddenly the complexion of the song took an unexpected turn into some real hard funk rock and we knew that we were back on track again with another morphing-character Excorde song.  We are quite please with the results, especially with the addition of fine lead guitar work from our friend https://soundcloud.com/dairv-dubbleyew for the finishing touch.  Please check out his page for some fine examples of creative playing and songwriting.

And be sure to visit https://soundcloud.com/jimenaarroyo to read her highly imaginative lyrics for this song.  Don't forget to leave her a comment and a like on her track... it's like giving a tip but a hundred times better! :)

Thanks endlessly to both Jimena and Dairv for their awesome musical powers!  You two rock!

Close your eyes and just feel this track. Imagine where you want to be whilst you listen. As for us, we imagine being near a train yard. The train is whistling by.

Smooth Attitude

One morning I woke up in the deep, dingy German Ruhrpott. In a secluded hotel I saw my sleeping wife and while I was looking at her, the first lines of this track, already set to music inside me, rose up: "Good Morning, Good Morning, what I say now is true. Tell it only in English: I love you". And also the other sentences came in the course of the next days and weeks in English. 

This song is a repeated declaration of love to my wonderful wife. I have been with her for 20 years and I fall in love with her again and again 20 days a month.

But on a more fundamental level I also ask the question why it's not only hard for me to look a person you love in the eye and to say directly in the language you're most familiar with (and that's German for me): "I love you". 

Lyrics:

In English My Love

Good morning, Good morning
What I tell now is true
Tell it onlyin English:
I love you

I wonder myself what it means
that this three words come out in German in dreams

I can write subtle poems
I can read complex books
I can talk like Adorno
I can play guitar hooks

But If you`re standing right in front of me
I`m suddenly getting soft knees

With the wisdom oft he trees,
the caress of the gentle wind,
the glow of the sky,
the silence of the clouds

I can say it some time in German
But now I must tell it 
In English - My Love

Good morning, Good morning
You're just fast asleep.
See your beautiful face
And deep down inside me
Feel the love so wonderful clear
the expression of the words very near

but when you wake up
and you`re laughing at me
our eyes are converging
and I could be so free

then I cannot say it in German anymore.
something deep inside is locking the door.

With the wisdom oft he trees,
the caress of the gentle wind,
the glow of the sky,
the silence of the clouds

I can say it some time in German
But now I must tell it 
My Love I must tell it
I`m so sorry must tell it
In English - My Love

In English My Love
