"The Hours Of Darkness" (Alternative Version) by Frosty Springnight

You might like to watch a video for this track at https://youtu.be/gEGUNGA_sKo or https://vimeo.com/465584816

This was primarily an ambient track, but then a harmonic and rhythmic content showed up in my mind, and a couple of lines of lyrics immediately followed, so I guess it turned to be some kind of experimental ethnic desert blues... I don't know whether I'm right or wrong, I'm not so good at labelling music.
It's all about Africa, quite obviously. What if the same panic that many people in Western countries are experiencing now because of COVID-19 was a permanent condition? What if beside epidemics we had to face wars, famines, poverty, rapes, violence and structural corruption every single day of our life? I had these and other questions in my mind while recording this tune...

A COST
“The system was developed by John Maynard Canes and Richard Stone, based on a pamphlet they wrote called, literally, The British National Income & How to Pay for the War, and this became the basis of national income accounting.

...the more that you smoke cigarettes or the more that you have automobile accidents the more growth increases.

... National Income Accounting.

… we’ve just contributed to the national income of the country…

… Stone was then recruited by the new United Nation’s organization.

…. I would kind of consider that a debit in my account - a cost not a benefit. National Income accounting doesn’t have a debit side, as long as the activity passes through the market, its good for growth!

…. by 1953, that set of rules was imposed on every country. Its called the United Nation’s System of National Accounts… all nations must conform to these rules of economic measurements or they cannot belong to the United Nations.

Important decisions are made with these figures, decisions which will determines who’s needs are met first, decisions on killing the planet, decisions on who will live, or die. These measurements do not include everything, they are highly selective.

So what is included and excluded in this system? The system includes everything that goes through the market place. 

… You know, I would kind of consider that a debit in my account, a cost, not a benefit!”

> its a game, all twisted, it’s all illusion, and you twist me, all illusion<

“… this means that there is no value to peace … this means that there is no value to the preservation of natural resources for future generations… this means there is no value to unpaid work, including the unpaid work of reproducing human life itself, including the unpaid work of women who feed and nurture their own families.”

> we’re gonna take it down, we’re gonna take it down, this is a construct, we’re gonna take it down. this construct, we gonna take it down. we’re gonna take it down. border, border, this construct we gonna take it down<

“this an economic system that can eventually kill us all”

> we’re gonna take it down, i live and breathe, this construct, we’re gonna take it down, what’s a borders, take a hold on me, border border, take it down, i am the construct, take it down, border, we gonna take it down, i am the construct borders<

>history, history, show me your time, breath of soul, oh all that they build for us is lies, body of clay, history, breathe of soul, time, breathe of soul, ill be singing from a cage, tell you of rage, breathe of soul, work it in your favour, breath of soul, we’re gonna take it down, your desperation, hopelessness, your desperation, helplessness, we’re gonna take it down.<

A clever bird: builds a nest to protect all of us!*

>take it down, this economic system! this economic system<

“...that death, homelessness, injury, poverty and starvation caused by the use of these weapons is not even registered as a deficit!”

>It’s going down!!!! we’re gonna take it down, we gonna take it down.
Yay dekhay gay to! (they shall see then! / when they will see.)<

“A Cost!”

>Yay dekhay gay to! Yay dekhay gay to.<

“Not a benefit!”

>Yay, this economic system, yay, is going down, dekhay gay to!<

“Not a benefit!”

>Yay dekhay gay to! Down! Going Down! Down!<

>Body of clay, breath of soul<

>we're gonna take it down, we're gonna take it down<

*this line is based on a Zimbabwean proverb in Shona
