Turning around(naviarhaiku526)

'RETURN TO THE ROOFTOP' is the debut full length album from Boorloo (Perth) based composer, producer and sound artist Sleepthink (Ethan Reed). Sleepthink presents a deeply personal record that uses sound as a means of exploring the emotional aftermath of the suicide of a close friend and long time musical collaborator. Through the use of various synthesis techniques, sonic manipulation, field recordings and acoustic instrumentation, Sleepthink offers diverse soundscapes, emotionally potent melody and a range of unique textures across this work. Recorded and produced in his home studio, this 14-track record gives a deep insight into the creative process of the artist and his love of sonic textures, experimental recording techniques and emotionally dense music.
Recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Ethan Reed (Sleepthink).

Thank you very much for always paying attention to my track and taking the time to do so.  
I am always grateful.
Secret meetings, rendezvous
I think everyone has one or two secrets!
Secret things you keep hidden inside yourself!
They are purely a part of you and close to your true self!
They may be similar to trauma.
If you reveal those secrets, you may become free! Why not try to express what you have been hiding?
The universe remembers everything about you and watches over you.
And it supports the fun things you choose to do.

Lyrics:

We do the strangest things
To each other.
We do the strangest things
To each other.

Now
Feel the absence.
Now 
Taste the damage.

I have learned to enjoy
Hurting you
I learned this from you.

You get a sexual thrill
From making me suffer.

Your nervous system
Lights up
Like a pinball machine
When you abuse me.

Now 
Taste the damage.

It hurt.
And because it hurt, it meant something.
And because it meant something, it was beautiful.
And because it was beautiful, it was holy.
And because it was holy, the angels spoke of it.

the sky of an august night

not quite a cover...not quite an original...3 VU songs mashed into one...a sort of Holy Trinity
another homage to my mentor Lou Reed
a song for the forgotten and the misunderstood 
the ones who feel they don't belong
some things never change

From that world as bleak a New York street   
On a shuttered Sunday morning                     
Comes the wistful voice of a tired sister's song 
The past reveals its chosen few
To speak for the forgotten 
A reminder for the ones who don't belong 

She hates the quiet place
She hates the big decisions
Wants to watch the bluebird fly and walk away
Oh every time she makes it straight
It breaks her little heart
Break it baby, I'm only singing what you say

Candy says, I've come to hate my body   
Lisa says, She'll do it with just about anybody 
And Stephanie well,                                    
She's given half her life                              
To people she hates now                            

Forget the huddled masses
It don't matter what they think
Can you hear that sound, it's a shape shift melody
A pain that's pure and multiplying, alive in the hereafter 
Their voices blend, Lou's holy Trinity 

She lives to party
Wants to score some action 
Not afraid of dying, it's the living that scares her straight
They call them queers, queens and addicts
Try to break their little hearts
Break it baby, we're still living it today  

Chorus


BRIDGE  It's so cold in Alaska                  
                We're so far from home             
                Now she's walking                      
                away from herself                       
                Look at her go    
                        
Chorus
