Rabindranath Tagore: 

Mone rekho
Oh, tobu mone rekho

Jodi dure jai chole
Tobu mone rekho
Jodi puraton prem dhaka pore jai nabopremajale
Mone rekho
Oh, tobu mone rekho

[…] Aachhi na aachhi

Mone rekho
Oh, tobu mone rekho

Mone rekho
Oh, tobu mone rekho

Tobu Mone Rekho (Yet Remember Me)

Yet remember me, if I were to travel far
If old amour were to be covered, in snares of loving new
If I were to be near
But you see me not, like a shade, I remain… or not
Yet remember me
If tears rest on thine eyelid
If play stops in still of honeyed nightfall
Yet remember me
One day when work halts abrupt on an autumn morn – yet remember
If ye remember
In splashed tears, and ye see me not from the corner of thine eye
Yet remember me

I was thinking about euphoria in pop music, that simple, single-minded ecstatic feeling you get from so many love songs. I found some vocal samples I liked and slowed them down and looped them, imagining each one as a kind of sculpture, gently rotating round and round in a neutral, dream-like space. Still euphoric, but frozen like TV static, repeating obsessively like prayer ritual.

1. I STILL FEEL
2. YOU'RE ALL I NEED
3. DON'T RUN FROM ALL THE THINGS YOU FEAR
4. THINKIN' ABOUT YOU, I'M THINKIN' ABOUT YOU
5. WE AIN'T GOT NO PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, YEAH. I LET 'EM GO
6. TELL ME I'M YOURS
7. AH, JUST DON'T WALK AWAY
8. I DON'T WANNA LOVE YOU BUT I CAN'T SAY NO
9. I WANNA BE WITH YOU
10. YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD NEVER, EVER FADE AWAY
