Name: Borderline Origami by Jeremy Moses Curtis
Duration: 4 min 21 s
Description: In ten starkly rendered songs Midlife Chrysler locates the tension between here and gone, love and motion, music and silence, work and calling in a country where the exceptions make all the rules, and everything feels like a racket, except music. The big mystery, the one that still brings people together.

Stilte  ~  El Chi Marcus

hey dag stilte lieve vriend
wat ben ik blij dat jij me vindt
mag ik nog even bij jou zijn
want bij jou vind ik het fijn
oud genoeg nu voor verandering
zowel vanbinnen als herinnering ...
‘t is de stilte in mij die toch zo graag mee resoneert


IK HOU VAN
STILTE, STILTE, STILTE
IK HOU VAN STILTE
IK ZOEK DE
STILTE, STILTE, STILTE
IK VIND DE STILTE

hey dag stilte lieve spiegel
die mezelf heeft laten zien
je bent een leraar die nieuwe wijsheid geeft
je bent een kracht die ik zo eer
oud genoeg nu voor verandering
van binnenuit zoals ik zing...
‘t is de stilte in mij die toch zo graag mee resoneert

hey dag stilte warm deken
je bent er steeds zonder te smeken
als een raadsel zonder eind
vind ik het leuk dat je mij verwent
oud genoeg nu voor verandering
zowel vanbinnen als herinnering...
‘t is de stilte in mij die toch zo graag mee resoneert

Particles

Past Letters
By Kate Prendergast

Got a pain in my back 
From the weight on my shoulders
Been drinking with friends
Just to act a bit older
The weather was warm
But it’s getting colder
In the night

I stand there staring at the walls
Waiting for the one unwanted call
Trying to unlock the open door 
Somethings are worth waiting for

Got used to the voices 
But now they’re all gone
I’ve had my shot
But blew it for fun
And I know, and I know
And I know, life’s not done
All the lessons I’ve learned
Have been wrong

So I travel the world 
With just one thing in mind
Not to go grey before I find the time
To finally let go
Of the things I don’t know

The letters I wrote to my future self
I didn’t know this is all I’d amount to
If I’d know it back then
Would I do what I do?

Past Letters

About those dreams we have that often feel like they are not coming true.  A song both sad and hopeful.

Dreams

Jeremy Moses Curtis — “Moses” to his bandmates — is better known for his work as the bassist for artists as diverse as Booker T, Twinemen, Jeffrey Foucault, Kris Delmhorst, Caitlin Canty, and Chris Smither, or as the composer in the instrumental band Thank God For Science. A musician par excellence, a card-counter, the minister of the low end.

But in the spring of 2022, Curtis approached his old friend and road companion Kris Delmhorst to help him shepherd a pile of his own songs into the world. A series of observations, reflections, love letters to the times lived through and the people loved along the way, Midlife Chrysler is the fruit of that collaboration.

Drawing from a chaotic and peripatetic childhood, twenty-five years in the tour bus, the vagaries of marriage and fatherhood, the right drugs and the wrong ones, Curtis turns in a collection of songs that inhabit the borderland of memory and forgiveness.

In ten starkly rendered songs Midlife Chrysler locates the tension between here and gone, love and motion, music and silence, work and calling in a country where the exceptions make all the rules, and everything feels like a racket, except music. The big mystery, the one that still brings people together.
