As I Look At The Sky Through The Trees

Orange Sun

method: layering, understanding which kind of noise suits where
narration: what happens to characters in children‘s stories after the fairy-tale‘s told? to follow up on grimm‘s tale of two children lost in the woods, this soundscape drowns the first and the last poem of my kaleidoscope-cycle in apt kinds of noise. this static arises along the edges, ledges, margins and rims where the uncollected and recollected protrudes into the unknown. ah, the wind sings!

poem 1 (originally title: morvarid) /copyright jo richter:

All Gretchen‘s life
she had made haste
to catch up on
refractions of her youth,

yet all the scattered
crumbs of light only
led her deeper and
deeper into the dark:

The world‘s a forest -
she placed her bounty
on a tree stump – with
sugar-coated death
patiently waiting
for her to arrive.


poem 2 (original title: yeohanan) /copyright jo richter:

By and by, Hänsel lost sight
of everyone. His parents vanished
in the maze of their empty pantry.
His sister, he lost in the dark.
He then left the forest, simply,
and was shanghaied in a hustle.

Having crossed the equator
on numerous seas, he managed
to blindside the crew and be left behind
on some remote jungle island.

Blinded by the bright
southern sun, he lived on
in a kaleidoscope world, con-
fusing himself for light‘s shadow.

the static after the fairy-tale

Have you ever been in a crowded Room and yet felt so totally alone. This song is about not being perfect, not being the best at anything and wishing a particular person that you really like and admire would just once see you. 
"See me"  is dedicated to all us Less than amazing people who are mostly invisible to the movers and shakers of todays high achieving societies, we   just want to be seen.
Written and performed by : Johnny Mc Farlane 2023   Lyrics below 


See Me 
 I’m not a perfect man in Anyway, I’m not 6 foot tall and I can’t play. 
Basketball or Baseball or football or any type of Ball 
In fact, I don’t pay any sport at all. 
I’m the star that broke the Camel’s back. 
I’m a boomerang that won’t come back. 
I’m a song that’s lost it Melody. 
I’m a symphony without a key.
I’m a raindrop that won’t leave the sky. 
I’m a teardrop that just won’t cry. 
I’m a stubborn mule that just won’t go. 
I’m a snowflake and I don’t want to Snow. 

Chorus 
But there’s a light that shines in everyone. 
Its there for all the world to see. 
Well, I found my light and its as bright as it can be. 
I don’t care about the world I only want you to see me, see me. 

I’m an Eagle who won’t hit the Sky.
I’m afraid of heights I don't want to fly.
I’m a star that just won’t shine. 
And I can only count to 9. 

I pass you every single day. 
You always look the other way. 
But I live and pray that maybe you’ll look my way. 

And I believe that there’s a light inside of everyone. 
Its there for all the world to see. 
Well, I found my light and its as bright as it can be. 
I don’t care about the world I only want you to see me, see me. 
To see me , To see me 

They say that sticks and stones will break your bones 
But Love will only break your heart 
Oh God how true this is , if only you could see 
If only you would look my way and see me 

Well  I believe that there’s a light inside of everyone. 
Its there for all the world to see. 
Well, I found my light and its as bright as it can be. 
I don’t care about the world I only want you to see me, see me. 
To see me , To see me

See Me
