YES - BELIEVE AGAIN

So I climbed to the height of a mountain line
Is there a vision here
Woven to touch
And all to capture light?
Surely the stream of consciousness
Flows to the sea
Where drifting I found
That I can be
I’m really getting to know the empty space
Beneath the surface of common days

There I knelt at the foot of an open sky
Is it by faith, not time
The sun does climb
To light the path for us?
And I can embrace where I’m going
Tomorrow has already found me

I used to believe in a love watching over
I want to believe in that love yet again
I lost my touch to handle with kid gloves
In the rough game of push and shove
I lost sight
I used to believe in your love
To be believed in
Once more tonight

Will you speak to me fathers?
Grant me the words
That one day I’ll be called to speak
And finally I am here understanding
The clear and constant page
Despite the shroud of material ways
Where dreaming the sound
A new found freedom

I used to believe in a love watching over
I want to believe in that love yet again
If you lose your touch to handle with kid gloves
In the hard game of push and shove
Don’t lose sight
You can still receive the love
To be believed in
Once more tonight

Surely this dream of consciousness
Flows to the sea
Where drifting I found
That I can be
I’m really getting to know the empty space
Beneath the surface of common days
Where dreaming the sound
A new found freedom

I used to believe in a love watching over
I want to believe in that love yet again
If it all comes down to push and shove
Remember to lift your heart above the fight
You can still receive the love
To be believed in

To turn wrong to right
Beyond all the pain and the strife
Ride the turning tide
Lift a strength deep inside
We can transform wrong to right

We can still receive the love
To be believed in
Once more tonight

Yes - Believe Again (excerpt)

Stickman and Blom get down and dirty on 34 tone acoustic guitar and udu (and temple bowl)Live from Microstock 9 in Denver, presented by the Colorado Chamber Orchestra. 

From the West

I released this piece a few days ago. I thought I was done with it. Well ...

I really appreciate all the listens and feedback the previous post received, BUT - upon listening to the track some 6-10 times over the past few days, I realized something was bumming me out big time about it. No, it's not a 'happy' piece, nor is it intended to be - but it was something a little more than just the 'vibe'. I simply did not feel completely satisfied with the work as a whole, and as such - was beginning to wonder if I had made an error in releasing it to the public at all.

So. after cataloging all of my issues with the piece, I found most of them boiled down to things like the dynamic narrative, as well as the general busyness of it. I've made an effort to correct these things (mostly tiny details that make a HUGE difference), and it now is more consistent with my original vision. I believe this remix is both more dynamically satisfying AND it has a bit more breathing room. Oh and the artwork, "The Nightmare" by Henry Fuseli, is far more appropriate tonally than the visual pun of the warp-speed pool water.

And what was my original vision? Well here's what I said a few days ago:

I suffer from sleep paralysis. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a condition where you are stuck between sleep and awakedness and literally feel paralyzed - because you are. Often this sensation is accompanied by strong hallucinations, both visual and auditory and feelings of panic. Oftentimes it feels like there is a weight on your chest, like a cat - or something far, far more sinister.

This piece is me dealing with these paralysis dreams. It features notable contributions by my friends Billy Salvatori and Nathan James, without whom, this simply would not be. A bit of trivia - the rain at the beginning of the piece is actual rain that lead to a nasty flood that nearly kept me from getting home one night. Where is art without a little suffering?

Ian Beabout - production, homemade synth, piano, drum loops, flute, theremin, string samples, Indian flute, mellotron, second-rate guitar, organ, snarling
Billy Salvatori - helicopter, guitar, whispers, screams, creative consultant, breathing
Nathan James - bass and creative consultant

Thank you for listening and I hope this remix is more satisfying for you as well.
