Nice. Lots of activity during this massage! Big tip needed!

Oh, oh! I also use Chinese imagery, but this song has a compositional skill that is far above the rest. "Oh, oh, this is Chinese love." It's wonderful how the banjo sounds like a Chinese harp.

Cage City

As a child growing up in Liverpool during the eighties, I witnessed first hand the struggles people had to endure because of the government’s neglect of our city. The government got away with neglecting its children, whilst Yosser and no doubt many like him had theirs taken away.

Yosser Hughes, the fictional character from Alan Bleasdale's incredible television series 'Boys from the Blackstuff', depicted a single father unable to find work whilst trying to look after his three children. 

The perception of Yosser back then, and probably still now is that he was a crazy, weak, and dangerous person. The reality though, is that Yosser’s behaviour was fuelled by many factors, not just povery, lack of work, and a broken relationship that we witness on screen.

Mental health awareness was zilch back then and most men today like Yosser find it impossible to talk about their struggles in life. This is largely due to the stigma of being perceived as weak. The only person he felt that he could open up to was a priest behind a veiled confessional box, who seemingly offered no help, support or guidance.

There will have been many traumatic events in Yossers life, all as a result of a cycle of poverty and lack of support and understanding that was generationally passed down. 

Yosser struggled on with his failing mental health, but clearly his love remained for his children. He kept looking for work, feeding his children, doing the best he could with what little he had. He like many was unfortunately doomed to succeed, and yet if he had been given help and support he could have brought his children up and been there for them. His wife, like Yosser just another casualty of the continuing cycle of victims, and sadly their children next.

Anyone struggling with their mental health should break free from the societal  stigma and speak to someone. You’re only human and can’t carry that weight alone. You are not alone and It’s ok to be vulnerable, it’s what makes us human. Just please ask someone for help!

Additionally, If you know someone who may be struggling with things, ask them if they want to talk, lend your ear, normalize their worries or concerns, and encourage them to seek help and support.

"Gezwitscher" means "Twitter". Of course the german word is much better than the english, it contains almost twice as much consonants.

Neno, is a multi-genre composer, guitarist, keyboard & bass player, and occasionally singer with a warm voicecolor. He has also another project/page, Danen II (covers and support). We worked in the recent past together, resulting in songs expressing deep emotional feeling.

The instrumental "Lost souls" cuts already deep in the heart.. The lyrics i found in the deepest well.

Lost souls

If nothing is your name
And love is just a game
If it’s in  the wrong direction
that you’re looking for connection,

And you reach out for acceptance
And you want to be seen
But no one seem to care and everyone is mean

If you’re longing for attention
And you’re screaming it out
But alone in the desert
No one hears your shout
And you’re talking with the devil
Corse he is the only one 
Who tries to figger out 
what you want

Some new acoustic guitar stuff is under construction, but meanwhile here’s a very different beast, called 'Relentless'. About the relentless assembly line of life.

Relentless

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

Shane Beck (The Last American Poet)

1 - A Love Like No Other - Shane Beck

method: field recordings, virtual instruments, voice
narration: some of the dirty secrets of self-awareness in relationships ... and one way of dealing with them; this also is an exercise in recovering the integrity of poems that have been belittled, willfully ignored  and poked fun at quite some time ago
image: actually, the device depicted - called a multimemo - before the image was distorted, that is - is included in creating this soundscape, which was somewhat inspired by and refers to elo-covers ....  although those are quite different .... the cover for an album called 'out of the blue'' and the  cover for an album  a friend understood to mean "disco - very". He was a genius musician who already earned an entertainer's income while going to middle school in the 1970s  ... thanks to his hammond and his talent. Only in later years did I understand myself....  that the syncretism of 'disc', 'discovery' and the images of ali baba and a uap is an astonishing feat in itself. copyright jo richter.

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in 'halb loh, halb zunder, halb glanz):

als sie nicht mehr logen
fühlten sie sich bloß
wie tiere ohne fell
wie fische ohne meer
ein jeder wind blies kalt
im ozean aus luft

sie rezitierten laut
ihr alphabet der furcht
wieder und wieder
im hoffen auf götter
der himmel blieb leer

bis auf zwei vögel

die kreisten auf suche
nach beute und fleisch

interlinear translation; apart from two birds // when they had stopped lying / they felt as naked / as animals without fur / as fish without the seas / and each kind of wind / blew with a chill in the airy oceans // they chanted out loud / their alphabet of fear / again and again / hoping for gods / when heavens remained empty // apart from two birds // circling, looking / for fresh prey and meat //

bis auf zwei vögel
