Butterfly Lips 


Lyrics: Butterfly Lips 

V1

Were like the pantomime villians
Everyone boo’s when we enter the room 
We’re just an Imprint on your souls 
That you left like an unkept wilted rose
It feels like we have been dropped off 
After diving to the middle of nowhere 
So we will clear our desk find a box
Fill it right up and fuck right off

Pre Chorus 

It’s been one of those days 
Now it’s one of those nights x2

Chorus 

And the one thing that we never resist
Is the taste of our butterfly lips x2

V2
We are the coffee flavour
in our mix up bag  of revels
Maybe that’s the reason why is everyone bitter and dishevelled
So our moral gymnastics as  somersaulted through the roof again
So we will clear our desk find a box
Fill it right up and fuck right off

Pre chorus 
Chorus 



V3
Many people like to  claim Responsible for the success
But we find ourselves on our own 
For the failures and regrets 
So keep it short and keep sweet 
Cause we’re listening through gritted teeth 
So we will  clear our desk find a box fill it up and fuck right off 

Pre chorus 
Chorus

Butterfly Lips  ~ Conscience of Kings with Nat Daniels

Ahead of us. We might welcome some things, some will frighten us or make us angry. We will see.

Was vor uns liegt

U-Intermezzo

By surprise, Pablo sent me 1-2 bar riffs with bass, guitar and organ.
He said I can do whatever I want with them.
Long story short, I did!
I asked him to send some isolated guitar lines, which I sliced and diced into various guitar lines with added effects.
Produced by Rick Shearer: composition/arrangements and synth.

With It Or Without It

Jo Richter @sonic-textures a.k.a. Sonic Textures and Silent Stretches produced a really fascinating soundscape with poetry that he offered as an open collaboration. Here is the link to the original:
https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/concatenandus?in=sonic-textures/sets/open-for-collaboration
Here is a link to a version which Stonerjazz @user-911083679 added to. My remix is working from this one:
https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/song-0049wav
And if you'd like to hear one more iteration of this open collab, here is a great one from Nic: https://soundcloud.com/nic_nic_nic/concatenandus-nic-version 

I was quite fascinated by Jo's poem. See below for the lyrics.  I added the full text back in after chopping up some elements of it to create this soundscape, and when it the words sit on top they line up in some very interesting serendipitous ways.

I also have just released a version with soundscape only and just snippets of words left in the background, in case you'd like to hear without the poem overlaid:

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:
concatenandus - (on the meaning of wind generators in fashion photography)

she kept wondering about all those photographs
that show flowing hair and wide, wind-swept robes
until she understood: those ropes connect halves
of a self that's caught and its dasein-based scopes

what is my real size if it's not epidermical skin?
the reach of my voice? my status, hierarchical clout?
my environmental footprints, global, within?
my life's agenda? some will being lived out?

what is my true reach into psyche, space, time?
which pasts do shape my tribulations and loves?
she thought of herself as a poor poet's rhyme,
as a reflection of life in a stock photograph.

a stranger wave of understanding hit her
when she unfolded into the moment -
she was not singled out, her whole world was with her
she was connected in a well-worn arrangement

of events manifest: she yelled out with joy:
birds nest in my hair, my feet walk the ground
this self tried to bind me, this gravitational ploy
but beyond all that hassle, spins a world that is round

Horror Trance

Warning, please do not drive or operate machinery while listening to this track which contains ASMR tiggers and was recorded in a frequency other than the 440Hz of most music played on modern radio stations. Always listen to our tracks at a lower volume, as well, preferably through headphones for maximum effect. 

We created this track to soothe the pain we've felt... physically, emotionally, and spiritually throughout our body in light of the elections, Covid Chaos, and propensity for discord within us, since we don't agree with the majority of outspoken divisiveness we encounter when leaving our home... since we choose to read from a variety of sanctioned and unsanctioned resources... rather than drinking the kool-aid poured for us from the skewed news and ever-increasingly exposition of the failings of the "sanctioned information only" western education systems.

We asked spirit to guide this project, after the grief we were feeling upon returning home from voting on election day. When we're a gender fluid, lesbian, disabled, veteran in a female physicality... the weight of each of those "minority statuses" BEing within us while approaching, entering, standing in line, and voting amidst signage, campaign representatives we encountered outside as we entered and left the polling center to cast our vote amongst a hugely biased conservative majority who have no problem exercising their "right to free speech," while neglecting their responsibility to extend those same "rights" to "all the people..." can create so much pain and tension within us. We asked our angels, guides, and ancestors to take the pain we were feeling and use it to show us how to express it and release it in a healthy way. 

This was the most amazing experience we've had to date in creating a piece. Every note we played and recorded was Divinely guided and perfectly placed, the first night we worked on this piece. We only made one small adjustment of placement to one segment within one of the instrument tracks. The second night, as we progressed through the same guided request and worked towards completing this piece in record time, compared to most of our works, WE FELL ASLEEP 3 TIMES!!! And, we didn't fall asleep during the relaxing trail out; but, during the hypnotic percussive sections!!! (We have to caveat that we aren't a scientist... so we cannot for certain say whether we were asleep or if we simply entered an extreme trance; but, we were "OUT!!!") We "came back," before the song ended... and from what we've learned these past few months... that's more indicative of coming out of a trance; because, if you're asleep, you typically don't awaken before a meditative piece ends; but, you continue sleeping once the song has ended. So, as we stated, we cannot tell you for certain which was the case. We can share that whatever happened, we have felt like we had some sort of serious transformative experience while creating this track with our angels, guides, and ancestors... and since those three instances... we have more inner peace and calm than we've ever experienced, as an adult who's experienced multiple traumas. So, as we state at the beginning, please never drive or operate machinery when listening to our creations. We hope you have as equally a transformative experience.
