Reimagining Below the Sky (Wilfried Hanrath & Hega)

SOS (Distress Signal Part 3)

This is an original song I recorded some years ago that describes the transition when seeing your son come of age as you (the parent) has to let go and adjust to a changed role in his life. Some regrets occur, thinking that the time to do certain things with your child has come and gone, perhaps you could/should have done more.
This was recorded back when I wrote it, so my recording techniques were not very advanced and I lost the master, left with just an MP3. I want to thank Nat Daniels and her production skills for helping make the most of improving the sound, although there was only limited opportunity to undo all its flaws. She also added some lovely piano parts to help replace many of my original xylophone parts which had faded considerably. Despite the rough quality, I hope the sentiment conveys. (note: Neddu was a nickname my son was given during his infancy which should help explain the lyrics)

Lyrics:  Written by Craig Durgy
You won’t need me as you walk out that door
These eighteen years were what a father’s for
But change is not an ending
You know that I’ll be sending my love

Can’t help but feel regrets, a childhood's gone
Lost chances sometimes hit as you move on
I guess that it’s just me though, 
It was just meant to be, so go
And I’ll watch Neddu grow

I still can see you, coming in this world
Red, blue and green, you cried, your flag unfurled
We played, explored together, 
And Mom how you upset her so
Just watching Neddu grow

That day you ran out in the pouring rain
And dashed head first to surf those flooded drains
The raging storm soon hid you
I wondered Ned where did you go

And still a glimpse of all our backyard games
Now all your friends converge, just not the same
I stand here washing dishes, a man here watching wishes blow
Away as Neddu grows

I still can see you, coming in this world
Red, blue and green, you cried, your flag unfurled
We played, explored together, 
And Mom how you upset her so
Just watching Neddu grow

Watching My Son Grow

After Heraklit*, this is the second soundscape made with a polyend tracker - a device  I like to refer to as a digital punchcard machine. The reasons for this naming choice are obvious to anyone old enough to remember actual punchcards. 

this upload also is an experiment in having an accompanying video - shot in a jittery, glitchy, seemingly careless, nouvelle-vague digital-punk-70s style: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIgBYsTstBs/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

RELATIVE SUN

translating torsos, gestures and forces
timid embraces of cultural icons
mind's urban slacklines span fixes and fines
surgical lasers, mosses and lichen
kneel at the sabretooth altar - move on, never falter
don't feed from the baiters - don't give up trying

Now, dear soundcloud, do tell me why this cannot be recommended?

https://soundcloud.com/33per , my dear donkey fellow sent me this wonderful instrumental, a Big Thank You for that, it was a great pleasure to write and sing along.

AHAB (All Hypocrates Are Basterds)

O-o-ohh, o-o-ohh…
Tell me please…
Is that really happening-ä-ä-ä-äppening ?
Do you feel that too ?

Noone is getting out here
Oh no-no-no-no-noo, o-o-o-o-o-ooh
Noone is getting out here alive

Ohh no
Not even the feckin’ basterds
No, no
Not even those feckin’ basterds

Will survive
Whatever may be the strive

See, because 
Noone is getting out here alive
Not the president
Nor his wife

Whatever may be the strive
That won’t work

Ohh oh 
All hypocrates are basterds 			(AHAB)
Ohh, oh
All autocrates are feckin’ basterds 			

They can fool the people 
For some time,

But,
But,
But,

They can’t fool all the people all the time
Not really …
That’s beyond the line

It’s possible to continuate
To self-determinate
To not participate…

So to say:
I would - and - i would…

And i-i-i-i-i-i-i- would 
And I would… 
I-I-I would…
And i would and I would…
I-I-I would…
I would prefer not to…

Peace &  Love to 🇺🇦 & 🇷🇺

I used the vocal take from this video version for IG this evening:

The Ukrainian flag features two colors: blue and yellow. The blue represents the sky, while the yellow represents the wheat fields, symbolizing the nation's natural landscape and agricultural heritage. 


Lyrics
I still hear you
You may hear me
In heart it's the yellow
Your wheatiest fields
The blue the sky that filters their clean
It's filled with red
We're sorry and we hope
The madman moves on and it's life gets revoked
Till then please stay strong
You face final power struggle for Earth and for all 
Your pain is new balance
Not in vain
Our kids are the chalice
In heart it's the yellow
Your wheatiest fields
The blue the sky that filters all of our dreams
Let that yellow mean food
Let that blue not mean blue
Let peace reign with borders by you 🇺🇦

For the yellow
For the blue

Let's send new blue
Skies that knew old red
Old red put to bed

Our Blue and Yellow

Tous les secteurs d'activité sont déjà impactés.
