A slightly restrained version of 'Something Strange'

Something Less Strange

When It All Falls Down

Eight days after I listened to this song, my mother came and asked me to play it again. Two days after that, she said to me that she had heard a wonderful song a long time ago. It was clear to me that the time had come when she would see everything only through fog. It was this song: https://youtu.be/izsjRpcgfmk. The Empire of Angels had impressed her so much that she had decided for herself to go there. Then, a year and six months later, she had arrived. She must be happy there. 

I don't quite reach the quality of a master, but one evening she knocked quietly on my door and asked what I was going to do. Rattling keys she would hear. I told her that I was trying to create my own interpretation of that very song. She sat down next to it, listened........and said, "Thank you!"

Those were the last words I heard from her. Before she flowed over into the realm of the angels. This, my interpretation, lies since then fallow on a data medium. Now again. Here on this, a server somewhere in the world. Slightly edited I now release this song to the realm of the angels, that she may hear it...

To my dear Mom.

CHORUM NOCTE PAPILIONES

CHORUM NOCTE PAPILIONES

Method: An electrified kalimba, two pedals, some digital wizzzardry. What does a soothing kid‘s program sound like when it turns sour?
Narration: How to make these times we live in understandable to our descendant‘s children. Image an elementary-school show-and-tell. You‘ll have some 21-century hominid walking in, sporting a top-hat and sideburns, brandishing a toy fire extinguisher and reeking of real gasoline. The kids will  roar with laughter and cringe with disgust when Punch goes about his antics. Later, he will recite his kind of 'lullaby'.

lyrics / copyright jo richter:

the nations we lived in
were made to protect
the interests we lived for
the leaders we backed

we had some religions
hierarchies, laws
we greedily grabbed
what never was ours

we modeled our lives on
ignorance, trifles
scorching the soils
designing new rifles

bereft of kindness
we turned land into waste-land
it‘s all in the system
we shrugged and complained

we longed for an ending
with fanfare and trumpets
to watch with some pop-corn
complacent, like puppets

the stupid ages

feel so numb w/ ive tried

Performing at the SINK open mic in Shoreditch with JK on acoustic guitar and moi on vocals. Such a beautiful song that to me is all about the pain of regret and accepting that it is just part of the human condition.
