Don’t You Know You’re Killing Yourself?

Don’t you know you’re killing yourself
We have it all in writing
look around there’s nobody else
but that’s what’s exciting

What good has free will got you
Coffee or tea?
Don’t you know you’re killing yourself
How else could it be?

Can’t you see you’ve done this before
with no variation
Caught in a call you just can’t ignore
the same old situations 

You always catch me walking alone
or my identical twin
Can’t you see we’ve done this before
I know we’ll do it again

You’re so high, you feel dizzy
like a prehistoric bird
perched on a cliffs edge
sublime but absurd

Can’t you see you’re killing yourself
it’s written in the stars
you remind me of Nellie Bly 
or Belshazzar
 
I’m not here to tell you something
you don’t already know
Can’t you see you’re killing yourself
so it goes, so it goes

Don't You Know (You're Killing Yourself)

Donations, purchases of my art, followers, encouraging comments and suggestions are always welcome 🩵 

I create both images and music (original, AI-assisted, covers and collaborations). Often need to be in meditation to heal from pain and nerve damage; I apologize if I don't respond to more collab requests until I am in a better place. As my stamina returns for creating original music and collabs, more wonderful releases will be coming later. Namaste, Airie 🙏

Autodidact and musician since childhood; producing electronic music since 2012, originally joined SoundCloud in 2017. I've lived Straightedge (Vegan & Sober) for many years, which rewarded me with a spiritual (Kundalini) awakening since 2018.

Earned my B.A. degree in Music from Western University (clarinet, 2005) and Fanshawe College Office Administration certificate (2016). I've always loved being a student 💜

During the pandemic, like many folks I was in crisis and lost almost all of my tracks. Very grateful to one of my biggest supporters on SoundCloud, the talented Magi©ian™ (Making music make a difference) for having bought my solo works from 2018-2020 that were on Bandcamp, and for him sending them to me ✨

I want to live in a world that's run by Volunteer/Resource-Based/Gift/Sharing economic and Yogic principles, but these principles not yet consistently practiced in tandem with capitalism, has been detrimental to the physical, mental, financial and spiritual health of myself and many others.

I feel the "cerebral" but discordant 440Hz standard frequency of music is a cause of anxiety, nervous system damage, chakra imbalances and overthinking. I advocate for musicians to return to 432Hz, because it's an energetically healing sound frequency.

International indie music project, based in the Netherlands and South-Korea. Debut Album 'IDEALISM' released August 2019!

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson — legendary bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer — about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, the renowned audio engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, echoed Thompson’s sentiment: “Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album. I still listen to it.”

Conil’s music reached even further when Fleetwood Mac blues icon Peter Green made a rare visit to his studio, drawn by deep admiration. Their encounter led to a hauntingly mellow version of Conil’s homage to the jazz greats, “Woke Up Around Midnight.”

Few artists cross boundaries like Conil, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Admirers of his genre-defying sound include guitar icon Marc Ribot, British folk-blues pioneer Davey Graham, bass maestro Pino Palladino, and studio legend John Leckie.

As Strange Part of the Country continues to resonate with listeners around the world, it’s enjoying a well-deserved renaissance, becoming a lasting favorite.

Upon its release, the album made a quiet but undeniable impact in the UK. Q Magazine awarded it four stars and a coveted Q Recommends stamp, while Blues Matters featured Conil on its front cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.”

In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart, receiving widespread airplay across the country.

Growing up in England, Conil has always felt a deep connection to American music. With close family ties and long-standing friendships across the U.S., the bond runs both deep and personal.

In 2011, he embarked on a transformative decade-long journey through some of the world’s most musically rich cities. From the soul of New Orleans to the grit of New York, the depth of Chicago, and the spirit of Austin, then across the Atlantic to Berlin and Athens, he immersed himself in each place, chasing a deeper understanding of music and the lives it shapes.

Conil is currently working on his long-awaited second album, a project that reunites him with Danny Thompson and Tchad Blake.

Now, just behind this drawn curtain, beyond this static veil, I know you are there. Like beacons of unfiltered humanity your bravest dreams are real and they reach me even in the most remote and ancient ocean abyss. They are magic. Oh, magnificent invisible gods I’ve been trying to write a poem for you. 

These recordings can be divided into three (Four if you count cover versions of my songs by other SC artists) unfit categories; Butterflies songs, Waltz Bros. Songs and Pall of a Past World songs. Butterflies were a three and four piece band of which I was a member. The band released two albums and several singles 
during it’s run in the mid to late nineties. The Waltz Bros. Is my most current project consisting of myself and Matt Wilson with occasional help from friends. Pall of a Past World consist of things that I’ve done that don’t fit into either of those titles.
