poem / copyright jo richter:

stone is a liquid
that moves far too slowly

if river lethe asked you
would you offer your memories

if the primal river called you
would you go

floating in amniotic liquid
would you pretend to flow like a river

if the only river called you
would you go

((social thanks to YKMS (5ys) for the black-key-pentatonic piao loop and AIS (11ys) for gravel shovelling and toy robot Operation ))

would you go

LYRIC
The nights bewilder
The days confuse
You know it’s better
To love and lose 
That’s what they tell you 
But look a gain 
I think they say it with a grin

Tell me who’s fooled
Who must be schooled 
In the ways of this world
Tell me who’s fooled

You know the fables
You’ve heard the tales
Of clever foxes
And vengeful whales 
Rebellious children 
Who misbehaved
If they’d only listened
They might have been saved 

Tell me who’s fooled
Who would be ruled
By the ways of this world
Tell me who’s fooled

 If it isn’t  me
And it’s not you 
Then exactly who am I talking to?
Is it you, God?
Could you at least maybe nod?

The sun is broiling
The seas enraged
And some will tell you
It’s all been staged
Let’s chase the playwright 
Right out of town
Time to bring the curtain down

Tell me who’s fooled
A heart not yet cooled 
By the world and its ways
By bad nights and worse days
At the risk of being rude
Tell me who’s fooled


Who's Fooled?

Jkhmr Day 1

This an another one of those semi-live recordings. We took an initial iPhone recording of mine that was meant to be a simple test run and decided to keep it as the base to which Nat added her lovely harmony vocals and piano. It’s a very gentle, quiet love song that expresses how our deeply personal core is really one with nature, with God, where only the truest of spirits can find a home to share in love. The pine trees know and the dawn reveals such truths.

Lyrics: WANTING

What I want is simple 
As stand the swaying pines
So quietly a symbol
Of this heart of mine
Reaching for the sunlight
To gain the heavens’ view
And when each storm expires
Will solemn watch renew

Yes, simple is my compass
It steadies on one light
It quiets the presumptuous
Withstands the darkest night
And deep within my wanting
I hear the pine trees sway
A call so low and haunting
To watch you slip away

Yes, I know well my longing
I watch, and there’s the sound
Of stars that rest with dawning
As the sunshine comes around
The warming of my inner-most
With gray and green and blue
Wanting is no more a ghost
The pine trees sing of you

Wanting

Wanting (live)

musical noise for the circumspect!
aka a guy with a couple pedals.
