COULDA TOLD YOU - Pink Mercury Improv 5/13/24

All improvised ///

I plume they banish
Don't take your wings
I take advantage
I know what you're seeing
But i hate it

Come here you silly
I too guile and go
I am already living
On an axon code
Oh they sell it good

Oh I won't, and that is good
I wash and set it out
Oh magical all-day manic
From a mad grey to a blue
Unimaginable

A wide spread one day off
Heartspray
Why I once obeyed
On a moon they found

Outta tune
On ahead I'll be
I will make it clear

And I set and forget it
And I let it dim dim dim
And i let it again

Cover myself
He's salient
What about
What have I solved the value of
What if I say to him
Let down another week, me too
What if I say to him
The impossible
Say to him
My known unknown
What if I set it up
What if I set it up
Confessional

THE FLOOD - Pink Mercury Improv 5/13/24

All improvised 

LYRICS (interpreted/transcribed from recording):
Kiss magic
Kiss magic
With fingers
Kiss magic
It's my mind
On my own time

Kindness
Blindness
Mindset all fineness
It's just sublime time
Vinelike
It's making fine lines

Old and seen the madness and the cruel night
Same height
Real soon you're gonna lose the fight
It's just a fine time
I make up, I buy time
Catch it on a moon tide

Reggie, did you give me your time
What is the bottom line
He's sublime and I am
Making him my time
Crooked in the battle eye
Straight chin, dancing
Get in in the making of a wild crime
It's in the weight of my time
Do you feel it, my man
My type
I like you liquid and off of center
With an out mind
High crime
So we can get this all fancy, dear
All of a man in an ear
It's a missive
It's a missive
Think, think
See
It's a messy thing

Notetakers
When time goes off
Breathtakers
Now take hands off
No takers
Leave on the table
No takers
I'll follow

Then say they fall into their roof
Them singing odd off the hook
Them seeing the mortar retreating off
A pause to suffer
He's taking martyrs off the hook
He deemed them martyrs of a martyr
He's seeing martyrs off the hook
He's had enough
He's seeing more of them off the hook
He's seen a mother
He's seeing martyrs off the hook
He's seen a mother

TOUCH - Pink Mercury Improv 5/13/24

Recorded at Sly Grog Lounge, Asheville, NC USA

LYRICS (improvised and interpreted post-recording):

You would know
That I don't like mine, choose another home
You would know
Sometimes I don't like to have fun
Of course I call you as a joke
And my own faith is a joke
Spending time in a ton of cars
You understand it
Like I came down from Mars

Because a nasty cold came through
Then people dying
Oh god I got to get to see you
I'm fine by every last day

See a credit card
Forever and anniversaries go by
I'm creative, but honey
I've released our relationship
Because I'm in and out of good
And I've found true honesty

I gotta find my feet
I've seen you bleed
And I hold too many dreams

Now I'm a centipede
I walk hard my feet
I'm a centipede
I've got a hundred dreams

Nothing holds us
A box like you now I've found to be close
Now that I've opened up
My heel ceded to my toes
Now that I've opened up
It can never go back in 

Now I'm a centipede
Working hard on my feet
I'm a centipede
I'm a centipede
I've got all of the fear
That I'm prepared to meet
I've got a hundred dreams

Lyrics (Transcribed After) ///

Is there anything inside
Hired in for myself
A lot of therapy
And a ghost
And a mortal star at the most

A lot of suffering still
But I'm outside
Like a child and a mother
I spin somebody else
I stand out 
See the line of magic

It's yes yes yes yes 
I know 
It's yes 
Yes
I'll do my best

It's another stain on the flesh
It's enough strain
Go on, light
Oh, the damning of the strife
Too much withholding
From my mouth
From my mouth
My mouth

Down south
It's better for my health
To play to the end

Such suffering

Ooh, little star
I stop stifling
Holding a cork under the water
It floats right back to the top
When it's left off
It surrenders
It's a laugh
It's a tender song
I think I'm tired
I'm sick of all
For now
No manners
Right to the edge
Of my comfort
Of my smile

It's a little bit harder
To balance out there
But what a view
What a taking-in out there
See the difference
All them waking
Wanting new
See the difference
All the partying
Such fun
Such fun

Slowly 
I'm there

E.P.

Closed-Minded by illa willa (feat. Stephanie Morgan)

I covered this song in the aftermath of my divorce and consequent band breakup. I felt the awful weight of those endings, and I was clinging hard. But slowly I began to notice the great feast of life, beyond my beautiful fort. I had not fallen apart, there infinite layers of life and self to discover, and I am equipped for the journey. 

It was a humbling experience, covering Dylan. Even if you like a song, you hear it differently when you've chosen it for your own voice. You become a holder of its message, and you know you have to sing it through the lens of your own being (or else, why?). And you worry that you're being intrusive somehow.  I've always been out of the Dylan club... he made sixties music and I was a New Wave fan... plus, someone had told me his stories were mostly made up, and I was a bit dismissive. But I was listening to music differently at that time... all my usual filters were off, and I was tuning in like a Martian to what songwriters were saying. And I heard the song, and it felt made for my liminal moment, and it wasn't hard to sidestep the unworthiness factor after that. Because perhaps it can point the way for others (maybe Dylan-doubters?) toward these words, and thus back to their own multitudes.
