Nowhere

come the morning


     fall asleep s'deeply, hit the bottom of a hole        
      In the morning it will be alright                
       fingers all in knots, the poet drinks, his parrot talks  
         come the morning it'll be alright                             
           surrender the day
         n' release the night

   'world is getting smaller, th' closer I look
        plenty I don't understand                              
     there isn't much below me as the night lights up
        with th' stars from th' back of yo' hand
       y' say I'm lost, that
         I don't give a damn

     when I say that giving is all that I am

   and so amidst my youthful search, for the absolutes, I saw
    I saw the motley fool's-cap rise
    far from th' hailing distance of heated disputes I 
      feel inclined to live my life
        without excuse, I 
          don't compromise 

     come the morning light... it'll be alright

	  surrender the day
	and release the night

	   come the morning it will be alright

Come The Morning

lyrics:

oh the unquantifiable weight...
the undeniable... wait...
oh irrefutable beauty
of mathematical poetry...

one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head
one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head

soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|

there's no indifference
or uncertainty...
we both know what we want
(can you feel it?)
can you feel the urgency?

one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head
one critical sum in my bed
infinite variables in my head

soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|
soon = |x|

Soon

What Else

This tune is a reminder and a plea. Our current economic climate doesn't make it easy for all to step outside and breathe, take notice of the small things and reliece the pressures that exist in our individual worlds. How wild swimming and standing by trees can regulate our vagus nerve, grounding us in our nervous system allowing us to connect with each other, relax. So it's a reminder, that even if accesss is hard, and housing is hard, and everything is hard, get a bit of fresh air, fresh water, when you can, find a plant, even in the most concrete of landscapes there is always a bit of life.

Opening with a variation on the Georgian folk song 'ბინდისფერია სოფელი' Bindisperia Sopeli taught to me by @nino.naneishvili
Part of the lyrics translates as -
The color of the world is twilight, and is getting darker. In an age where it is easier to imagine dystopia than a hopeful future this song really touched on some of what I was feeling whilst writing 'staring at the grain'.


Lyrics -
Slate and grass and water running fast and o’er over hill,
Over hill and to the lake here there will find the freshest fill,

Undulating mountains pasture slowly beginning to fade,
Hoping that the life clings on here even in the summer’s shade,

Our trees are arteries and our trees are arteries

Twigs and leaf and bark are witness
To the drowning of the hill
Over copse and to the vale here
We won’t find the waters still, mmm...

Beckoning the forest shelters
Axed and planed and sawn in shape
Sweep away last cherry stones
Burn humble hope in fire place

Our trees are arteries and our trees are arteries

Cos nothing cures delirium like staring at the grain the tiny knotted faces help the trees to explain about their life before the plank, the twisted beech and straightened ash

staring at the grain

Set Me Up Boys

Set me up boys I'm ready to drink
I don't care what people think
About me and my addictions powering through this life
In spite of my affliction everything's alright

Set me up boys I'm ready for booze
Tell the bartender he can't lose
Because me and my addictions are powering through the night
The cure for my condition might be a good snake bite

Let's drown my wounded dreams
That's what a mercy killing's for
I'll look them in the eye
And gladly wave goodbye
Cause I don't want to dream anymore

Set me up boys I'm ready to drink
The ship we're on is about to sink
And me and my addictions are powering through till the end
A final recognition of who's who's really me friend

Let's drown my wounded dreams
That's what a mercy killing's for
I'll look them in the eye
And gladly wave goodbye
Cause I don't want to dream anymore
