you've only been here a short while
and i already hate you
you've taken what was mine
and i can't forgive you...

you got a God complex
you think you're so superior
you think you know best...?
ha! i beg to differ....

oh... why d'you do what you do to me?
oh... why d'you do what you do to me?

i'm not blind, i'm sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you
i'm not blind...

in your ivory tower
with your guns and toys...
if you don't want a war
then don't ignore my voice!

oh why d'you do what you do to me...?
oh why d'you do what you do to me...?

i'm not blind, i'm sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you!
i'm not blind, i'm just sick of the sight of you

i'm sick of the sight of you
just sick of the sight of you

i'm not blind... i fucking hate you!

WAITING FOR THE RAIN

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill

The hidden lines and lives
Walk their natural time above the plain
From hill fort to the bunkers underground 
The hill can quicken up your pulse
Standing on Dryhill
You can taste it on your breath
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain 
Waiting for the rain

Aeons old and yesterday
In a scintillation (Standing on Dryhill)
A breathless moment under 
The curious twinkling stars (Standing on Dryhill)
The water moves beneath us
It moves below the ice

(below, be-low)

A long-gone, summer swift scream
The hill is not dry
The vines do not wither
Rippling the waters of our many lives
The heart of the hill 
Beats on
Pushing the sleeping rabbit to awake and run (run, run, run)
Seize the seasons
Hang the reasons
In a thousand years the hill will not remember us or its many names…
Our heads boiled, eaten down to the white bone

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
Standing on Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain

Standing on Dryhill…

Lyric

It’s a void time
Something walked away
It’s a void time 
I dream a new light

I love that feeling
It doesn’t start yet
I love that feeling

It’s a void time
Something walked away
It’s a void time 
I dream a new light

I cry my emotions   
I cry my emotions   
I cry my emotions   

You say just be as you are
Something response me
You say just be as you are
Something response me
You say just be as you are
Something response me
You say just be as you are
Something response me

It’s a void time
Something walked away
It’s a void time 
I dream a new light

空白の時
何かがさった
私は新しい光を夢見る
私はその感じが好き
まだ始まらない感じが
私は叫ぶんだ
あなたは言う
いいじゃないとても
何かが答える

Just be as U are(Tot.Prod)

Hello… so have you ever noticed certain things about yourself that never change? This song, ‘Just Like I Always Do’ is about that very thing. I found myself  outside the other day, playing with rivulets of snow melt. Making channels with a rake, for the water to run down and I laughed… my feet were soaking wet and I was having a grand old time. Reminded me of a time in kindergarten, when I arrived late to school, soaked to the bone, as I was playing in the rain along the way. So that playful side of me has not changed at all. I also noticed, like flowing water, how vital it is for me to keep moving. A fluidity when it comes to living and learning about life. Recently, singing has been like that for me. Bear with me on this. A little backstory: As a kid, I had a brief stint in my middle school choir. I did not want to join the choir, that’s for sure. The music teacher had picked us out, after brief singing auditions. After our first performance, my mother, God rest her soul, told me I did not have to go back to choir anymore, if I did not want to. Out of the 50 kids on stage, I was the only one not singing. I just looked down so no one could see my mouth… except my eagle-eyed mom. Simple as that, I was done with it. There were other things I wanted to do as a precociously rebellious kid, running around the neighborhood, as it were. Now, half a century later, I have been learning to sing on my own. It has not been easy uncovering that latent voice of mine. Looking back, sometimes I wish I had stuck with it as a kid. So about a decade or so ago, this dude I worked with asked me if I’d show him some stuff on guitar. His mom was a musician and music teacher and he grew up with music in his life. He was always singing and playing guitar. As we hung out, he noticed I never sang and asked me why. After basically dodging his question, he told me the only thing stopping me from singing was me. Talk about a hard lesson to swallow. So now, bringing us up to speed, I had some fun exploring my nascent singing voice on this song. The image is of me and Garnet running the hills in early Spring. Hope you like it and thanks for listening. Take care, Mark

This was a track that never saw the light of day.  Furball was a band I was part of, in the mid nineties.  We only lasted about 15 months.  I played the guitar (badly!)

Furball - Truman's Scam

Xian asked me for a drum track for his absolutely phenomenal existential song about the mythical Atlas, and related it to today! This came together very quickly, as his instruments and vocals were already mixed near perfection! Hope you all enjoy, and I get a chance for another. I dig this one, immensely, and it was a true pleasure recording with him.

Lyrics:

Atlas

1
You’re a mountain of a titan of the old times
Gaia is supposed to be your mother
You’re a pole at the coordinate system
You were the prison of your brother
One could’nt really quite imagine
All the masses

You were condemned to hold up
Celestial heavens
After the battle of the gods

Since then you carried the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders

2
You’re responsible and of purpose
You’re imperatively necessary for structure
You are stabilizing and decorative
You’re the leitmotif for architecture
There is a 2nd century sculpture cut of you
In the museum of archaeology in Naples

You are condemned to hold up
All the statics
Between the basis and the rooftop

Where you carry the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders

3
You contain of corpus, archi and processi
You have ligaments like wings
Articulating in every moment
Here and now right inside of the body
Sometimes there is a pain in the neck
That makes everything just worse

You were condemned to hold up
And move yes and no
Between the axis and the occiput

Where you carry the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders

Will you carry the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders ?

Hope, it isn’t too shrugged yet

narration: "On approaching the other it has lost its own self, since it finds itself as another being; secondly, it has thereby sublated that other, for this primitive consciousness does not regard the other as essentially real but sees its own self in the other" (G.W.F.

the rulers lived above our heads
masters thrived and servants bled
bombs keep dropping on the dead
hegel's words remain unread
to hail a leader is to be misled
the earth accepts the chains you shed
