Très belle réalisation. Une voix superbe et un arrangement musical réussi. Joli travail. Bravo.

Oeuvre intéressante.  La clé de sol a-t-elle une signification particulière?

The Final Goodbye

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

More synthrock, but this time with a somewhat dirtier sound. All instruments except the drums are created on the Nord Stage 3. Played a little with feedback, as well as changed the attack on the main rhythmic synth live as I was playing. The lyrics are once again a mix of science and emotion using a black hole as a metaphor for a toxic relationship - seems to be a style that works for me.

INFINITE ATTRACTION

I can’t, I can’t break free
Oh no
I can’t, I can’t break free

A fine line pulling on my soul
As close as I could ever get
An unseen stronger than steel
At the point of no return

Light up all of your rockets
Switch on the burners, oh yeah
Let go of all of your emotions
You can spiral to the infinite
The infinite attraction

I can’t, I can't, I can't, I can't break free
I can’t, I can't, I can't, I can't break free

Bounce off a satellite to Houston
Switch on the radio, oh yeah
There’s no time for thinking
You could spiral to the infinite
The infinite attraction

I can’t, I can’t break free
Oh no
I can’t, I can’t break free

The cosmos is dragging me down
Once in there’s no getting out

It’s an infinite attraction
It’s an infinite attraction

Infinite Attraction

It reminds me of life before livin' - It's my truth but take away givin'
It's my hope for the dead not the livin' HO,HO,HO, HOpium

Like a firefly burning out in the night

HOpium - Like a man with his hand out
HOpium - Like a screamer that can't shout
HOpium - A dollar sign in a penny jar
HOpium - A rock that can't be thrown far

Like a light bulb burning out under the bleachers
Like a funky hand of god and just a bevy of preachers
Like a soul suckin' mutt but it's devoid of all features
HO, HO, HO, HOpium

Kind of like COpium it gives you a reason
Like swimmin' in the summer sun when you're really freezin'
Take another snort and you'll be sure to be sneezin'
HO.HO,HO, HOpium

HOpium

GREATEST HITS

I’m blowin’ notes streetside in a horn section   
Blown garbage and coppered boots all gone tangling. 
You’re Bixby’s Bridge above Kerouac’s canyon.  
Way above the ruts in your trending fashion      

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits.    
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
Falling vacant down a slip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary - humanity

You’re all coiff n pressed jeans uber-reaching
Gripping on to a scene and about it beseeching
You’re jetting over Miller’s Big Sur resident shack
History is nothing but a scratch on your back

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
A eureka moment guilt trip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary – humanity

What was I just a birthright the right side of the tracks
But egalitarian ideas caught you in a trap
Trying to show a social conscience don’t come naturally
Such a handbrake on life’s beckoning verdant tapestry

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .

Greatest Hits

2024 Remix and Remaster version to bring it up to the standard of the later album tracks for full album release in 2025.

The surviving medieval priory Lindisfarne is the focus for this track. The priory was re-established in Norman times in 1093 as a Benedictine house and continued until its suppression in 1536 under Henry VIII. The original priory of St Cuthbert's time was long gone by then following the location of the relics of the saint as a result of the Viking scourge.

Inspired by "The Rainbow Arch", the track takes it's name from this surviving rib of the crossing vault that survived when the tower above it collapsed. The photo of this arch was taken on one of my visits to Lindisfarne.

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Instrumentation

The Rainbow Arch instrumental features strings, violin, flute, a choir backing, synthesizer pad (quite Floyd -like) and uilleann pipes. There was no historical reason to use the pipes as the Irish monks were long gone. It was more to do with the mixture of sounds in this piece. It felt right to my ears. It also features my best approximation of multitracked chanting.

Background

"The bell is rung for mass and the monks assemble. Whilst singing the chant they gaze up at the rainbow arch and their spirits soar."

I wanted to get inside the feeling of the monks in this holy place and was inspired by the surviving rainbow arch to do multiple parts singing the 'Kyrie Eleison' with different vocal timbres and link that into a rapture type section.

Finished with my woman …

Beat me with a big stick 
Trying all your usual tricks 
That ain’t gonna cut it no no 
That ain’t gonna cut it no more
Frozen in your headlights 
Helpless in your dead lights 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love
Blow me up with a bomb bomb bomb
Shoulder for my tears 
Get to know me inside out
Then attack me with my fears

Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 

So I went down to the river
The witch told me the cure
I must spit when I say your name
Throw your picture into the flames 
Cross myself 1 2 3 times
Salt the earth where you stood beside me 
Then I cut - cut you out 
Once upon a time I was cursed by love

You thought you could fool me
Thought you controlled me
Thought you could take me 
Thought you could keep me
Underestimated me
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 
Now it’s you in my head lights 
And it’s you in my dead lights 
Finished with my woman 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love
