Brother Hunter

Brother Hunter (LIVE)

I left a manual many of you know and love
but I guess some of the wording wasn’t clear enough
I said slavery is fine but worship only me
you heard the opposite and do the contrary

Then worry about your soul’s salvation
You think I’m good just cause I outsourced damnation
my sense of humor’s rarely understood–
you covet as you breathe and covet means you’re screwed
(now damn it like you should!)

Don’t hesitate to write or call
I’ll get back to you promptly as in not at all
and if you wax dismayed at my arrogance & privilege
remember: I made you in my image

The tiny horrors you confess
they don’t impress or even hold a candle to mine
(I make up the rules and I always win)
your filicides waffle 
and even your genocides have laughable limits
and here I thought I made you in my image...

My own son came down to contradict me
but we made quick work of him didn’t we now?
I felt proud but remorse is making you slower
should I sink you like Lot, Job and Abraham
or float you one like Noah?

I said it’s fine to rape and kill
so long as you don’t eat eel
though targeting a non-believer tribe’s of course ideal
for I am nothing if not a jealous dude
explains why you’ve never felt especially moral or astute
mmm, doesn’t it? (indeed it does!)

Don’t hesitate to chant & pray
I’ll get back to you soon after your bismuth decays
and if you’re stunned by my executive privilege
remember: I made you in my image

The tiny horrors you commit
don’t bat my lid nor butter my toast 
nor tickle my ghost
They don’t simmer my roast and they don’t peel my kiwi
just about what I’d expect from someone in my image, 
image, my image! (His image)

In my self-same image (yay, verily!)
I take offense every time you think you suck
You gotta wonder why I made you in my image...
Was it just to make a buck?
Was it a mistake that kinda stuck?
Or was it sheer omni-im-potent luck?

Fear, rage, confusion–
all hatchlings of your lineage.
I made you in my image

Or did you make me in your image?

My Turn

Unfortunately, I have another damn chest infection. Which means metal vocals are well and truly out of the question for a few weeks. In the mean time, decided to go back to basics. Shoegaze/dream pop inspired cloud rap. I'm really feeling this one so get ready for a damn deluge. 

As always, Bandcamp link here if you want to pick up my EP: https://impermanence108.bandcamp.com/releases

Sometimes, when i play with my friend Penelope, i feel that reality is dissolving around me, and that our music lift us together and we fly to another space and time... this time i think we went to some kind of Wonderland... along with our childhood friend Frère Jacques

It might sound romantic, and unrealistically outrageous, but i assure you it's the plain truth.

This song was written using the lyrics provided by Nadine Walters. Her uncle Terry Walters began strumming a few chords and I sang a melody. The results from the the way collaboration gave us this.

Over You

Over You by TLWalters/DJHanrahan Words by Nadine Walters

Athens-raised, Berlin-based Maroulita de Kol creates music formed from the ancient, pre-Christian rites and practices of Greece, newly re-presented through a contemporary lens. A former student of classical piano and voice, an unbreakable bond with her homeland yielded an extensive and ongoing dive into the mythologies, arts and storytelling of ancestral Greece. These studies eventually guided her to the debut solo works that make up Anatélo and forthcoming accompanying full-length Anásana.
