Description: In this lesson, we will hear Bertrand’s thoughts on a book he has just finished reading. But we are going to discover that the book’s title isn’t really true.

Village of 1,001 Springs (Lyrics by Avedik Isahagian)
When the green doors of Spring opened,
the springs of Bingyol sang like a lyre.
A caravan of camels went by in pairs
and carried my true love to the fields of Bingyol.

I miss my precious love’s bright face
I miss her small waist, her hair wavy like the ocean.
I miss her sweet words, her sweet smell,
And the dark eyes (like a deer) of that beauty of Bingyol.

Even for cold waters, my parched lips won’t open;
even with layers of beautiful flowers around me, my crying eyes won’t open;
My heart won’t open until I see my true love.
Alas, even the beautiful springs of Bingyol won’t open my heart.

I am lost; these roads are foreign to me.
These thousands of lakes, rocks, and rivers are foreign to me.
I’m a drifter; I’m not familiar with these parts.
Sister, tell me, which is the road to Bingyol?

Bingyol

Schindler's List is an American 1993 historical film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is a dramatized account of the true story of Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), a German businessman who saved the lives of more than one thousand Polish Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories.

The Guitar: Recorded on Shakespeare

The Recording: A pair of Neumann KM-84's into a Prism Lyra and then into GB.  Added some compression and delay, to thicken.

A 90ies indierock inspired track. 

Lyrics:
Am I only dreaming
Or awake in fear and dread
In my head there’s monsters creeping
And thoughts hiding under my bed
Ballerina’s dancing
High on top of trees
When the wind comes breezing
They fall down to their knees

And it’s all inside your head
But it’s not there

It’s all inside your head

Distant voices whisper
Pulling like the undertow
My mind keeps stacking up memories
Under which I’m being buried below

Aphrodite

Inside your Head
