Dancing In My Room [Oh Oh Oh Mix]

Chemistry

Drone#03 Wake Up

[Verse]
I wrote letters in my mind, they never reached your hands
Every word I thought was a fight against the shame
They built a wall between us with their words
But I heard your heartbeat—I know it still stirs

[Pre-Chorus]
They said the bond was broken, but I still feel it near
An echo of love burning through the fear

[Chorus]
(Faces) lost in a blurry frame
A home I loved, now just a name
I built a bridge, but someone burned it down
I’m here, but you don’t see me around

[Verse]
I saw you waving from a window
But the door never opened for me
Your voice, once safe, now just an echo
Drowning in what someone else said about me

[Pre-Chorus]
They said love was forever, but it feels like a lie
When I stumble in the darkness where my family used to be

[Chorus]
(Faces) lost in a blurry frame
A home I loved, now just a name
I built a bridge, but someone burned it down
I’m here, but you don’t see me around

[Bridge]
Am I a shadow, or is it just a dream?
Can you remember when you held my hand so serene?
I cry to the wind, to every star in the night
Please remember me—I’m the child you left behind

[Chorus]
(Faces) lost in a blurry frame
A home I loved, now just a name
I built a bridge, but someone burned it down
I’m here, but you don’t see me around

[Outro]
I’m here.
Do you see me now?

Mother (Wading through the Shoals of Time Possessed by an Inverted Love)

My name is Paul Amlehn. I am an artist working in the mediums of literature, music, visual art, theater, opera, dance, performance art, and film.

My poetry, prose, and texts for theater and opera have been published in literary journals in 23 countries, including Exquisite Corpse, the California Quarterly, Poetry Salzburg Review, and Evergreen Review.

My paintings, photographs, music, and video art works have been exhibited throughout the world, including at Artist's Space, Luhring Augustine, the Chelsea Art Museum, and Tate Liverpool, and at festivals which include Art 42 Basel (with the Serpentine Gallery - curated by Julia Peyton-Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist), documenta 14, and the 51st, 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th, and 60th Venice Biennales.

On my music projects I have collaborated with Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Ulrich Krieger (Lou Reed), Chuck Hammer (David Bowie), Jamie Saft (Iggy Pop), Susan Stenger (John Cale), Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno), Michael Blair (Tom Waits), David Van Tieghem (Laurie Anderson), Michael Johnson (Joy Division), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), Joe Gore (PJ Harvey), Terry Edwards (Tindersticks), Mick Rossi (Leonard Cohen), Jem Finer (The Pogues), Mark Egan (Arcadia), Dieter Moebius (Cluster), Jess Stewart (Psychic TV), Eberhard Kranemann (Kraftwerk), Thomas Stern (Einsturzende Neubauten), Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire), Susan Alcorn, Suzanne Ciani, Keiron Melling (The Fall), Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons), Laurent Petitgand (Wim Wenders), Jen Baker (Werner Herzog), John King (Merce Cunningham Dance Company), Robert Black (Bang on a Can All-Stars), Frank Cassara (Steve Reich and Musicians), Andy Findon (Michael Nyman Group), Mick Rossi (Philip Glass Ensemble), David Crowell (Philip Glass Ensemble), Melanie Russell (Philip Glass Ensemble), Eleanor Sandresky (Philip Glass Ensemble), Frank Cassara (Philip Glass Ensemble), Andrew Sterman (Philip Glass Ensemble), Joan Jeanrenaud (Kronos Quartet), and many others.

I am currently working on an album of music which has texts and vocals by William S. Burroughs, in cooperation with the Burroughs Estate. I am also presently working on an album of music which reimagines the work of John Cage, in cooperation with the John Cage Trust.

Cover art for my albums has been provided by painter Gerhard Richter and artist, musician, and filmmaker David Lynch.

At the end of 2024, I worked on several re-creation compositions which utilzed sonic elements from pre-existing songs by Brian Eno and David Byrne, Nine Inch Nails, and Grimes, from their albums "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts," Ghosts I-IV," and "Miss Anthropocene, combined with new music by myself and other musicians.

Earlier this year, I collaborated with painter Gottfried Helnwein on a short film called: Epigenetic Trauma Painting No. 1.

I'm presently working on a new music recording project. Musicians who have contributed to this project thus far are: Stan Harrison (Radiohead), Bill Gilonis (The Work), Jeroen Visser (Trio Kazanchis +1), Nicholas Currie (Momus), RK Faulhaber (Nurse With Wound), Peter Hess (Philip Glass Ensemble), Hans Peter Kuhn (Robert Wilson), Audrey Chen, Max Eastley, Conrad Harris (String Noise), Pauline Kim Harris (String Noise), Jeff Zeigler (Kronos Quartet), William Klugh Connor III (The Centre for Transgressive Behaviours), Alan Splet, Ann Kroeber, and David Lynch.
