Had to dig back a bit. But I found one I haven't heard yet. :)

This one reminds me of the more recent Rats Palace piece. Feels a bit like a bluesy beatnik poetry session pouring out of an artsy coffee shop. :)

Just read the write-up, and realized this might be a precursor to the show you two did more recently (If I'm recalling the details correctly). I imagine that was a fun space to record in.

cool.......it's chilled and dreamy.........yet still has an air of tension

Balada.

Instrumental for "47 Aglaja".
As usual cover art by me :)

Dear friends, many women and girls are being treated badly on our planet. Dear brothers - stand up for our sisters!

Lost Competence

There are some people who lost all their hopes
that everything will be fine
It is the girls in a place very far from my land
I can’t understand why those who are ruling the country far away
can not value the girls who are the future - of their land

They are good at their school and they are very diligent
but now they are shadows of themselves
They have ambitions that are grand, maybe to study medicine 
I can’t understand why those who are ruling the country far away
can not value the girls who are the future - of their land

I've seen several reports with pictures of these girls
their faces express will to fight
They also look so confused about the happenings around
I can’t understand why those who are ruling the country far away
can not value the girls who are the future - of their land

Approximate translation into Swedish
Förlorad kompetens
Det finns några människor som tappat alla sina förhoppningar
om att allt kommer att bli bra
Det är tjejerna på ett ställe väldigt långt från mitt land
Jag kan inte förstå varför de som styr landet långt borta 
inte kan värdera flickorna som är framtiden för deras land

De är bra på sin skola och de är väldigt flitiga
men nu är de skuggor av sig själva
De har stora ambitioner, kanske att studera medicin
Jag kan inte förstå varför de som styr landet långt borta 
inte kan värdera flickorna som är framtiden för deras land

Jag har sett flera rapporter med bilder på dessa tjejer
deras ansikten uttrycker kampvilja
De ser också så förvirrade ut angående det som händer runt omkring
Jag kan inte förstå varför de som styr landet långt borta 
inte kan värdera flickorna som är framtiden för deras land

Traduzione approssimativa in francese
Compétences perdues
Il y a des gens qui ont perdu tout espoir
que tout ira bien
Ce sont les filles dans un endroit très loin de mon pays
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ceux qui dirigent le pays au loin
ne peut pas valoriser les filles qui sont l'avenir de leur pays

Ils sont bons dans leur école et ils sont très diligents
mais maintenant ils sont l'ombre d'eux-mêmes
Ils ont de grandes ambitions, peut-être étudier la médecine
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ceux qui dirigent le pays au loin
ne peut pas valoriser les filles qui sont l'avenir de leur pays

J'ai vu plusieurs reportages avec des photos de ces filles
leurs visages expriment la volonté de se battre
Ils ont aussi l'air si confus à propos de ce qui se passe autour
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ceux qui dirigent le pays au loin
ne peut pas valoriser les filles qui sont l'avenir de leur pays

Ungefähre Übersetzung ins Deutsche
Verlorene Fähigkeiten
Es gibt Menschen, die alle Hoffnung verloren haben
dass alles gut wird
Das sind die Mädchen an einem Ort, ganz weit weg von meinem Land
Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum diejenigen, die das Land in der Ferne regieren
kann die Mädchen, die die Zukunft ihres Landes sind, nicht schätzen

Sie sind gut in ihrer Schule und sie sind sehr fleißig
aber jetzt sind sie Schatten ihrer selbst
Sie haben große Ambitionen, vielleicht Medizin zu studieren
Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum diejenigen, die das Land in der Ferne regieren
kann die Mädchen, die die Zukunft ihres Landes sind, nicht schätzen

Ich habe mehrere Berichte mit Bildern dieser Mädchen gesehen
ihre Gesichter drücken den Willen zum Kampf aus
Sie sehen auch so verwirrt aus, was um sie herum passiert
Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum diejenigen, die das Land in der Ferne regieren
kann die Mädchen, die die Zukunft ihres Landes sind, nicht schätzen

Lost Competence

Always loved Peter, Paul and Mary's version of Bob Dylan's great song.

Blowing In The Wind - Cover by Tony

In the 17th century, England's greatest topographer of worlds satanic and divine warned that hell was nothing less than "Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace/ And rest can never dwell, hope never comes/ That comes to all" thus echoing the words copied down by hell's most famous tourist: "Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create/ Se non etterne, e io etterna duro./ Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate."

Well we are a little rusty... been the longest time since Dani and I simply did some improvisation.. so here is a rough few minutes recorded even rougher the other night after a session at the wonderful Hobart artspace 'Proofspace' where we have been fortunate to use as we write a new score for the beautiful and poignant silent movie " The Smiling Madame Beudet"... With luck we will get to perform the movie at sometime in the future! Felt great just to make some shit up for the first time in ages : )

In memory of violinist Jennifer Spiwak (1974-2001)

I dream of your dream
Inside a drop
Of rose water on your cheek

Rise with the sun
Rise with the sun
I dream, I dream

Right now, if only for yourself
I believe you will

Nowhere near the sea
On sacred ground
Spread across the tundra
Marching to the vision in our heads

Didn’t you see the North Star shining brightly?
Can’t stop till the goddess calls

"Did you see behind the raging star? 
I will give to you and you will find your heart
So you can bend your eyes
Did you think about the dreams 
The nightmares you had? 
With the sage old lady dancing looking sad 
What she said to you
     'All the light inside is out and outside  is nil 
      It’s a beautiful appearance now and for all! 
      So now you lift your eyes! 
      There is no other way outside!'"


Cold down to the bone
But we’re pressing on
Something warns inside us
Thirteen hundred miles across the E∂

Stay awake until
The frozen river feels our feet
Just think, son, of the goddess
Think, son, of the goddess
No stop till the goddess calls

The Goddess Calls
