Fire Burning

Fire Burning #MySongIsYourSong

A song in which we channel our inner Portishead........

I guess it was just my own world
After all
Having you as the other part
Was nothing more
And nothing less than illusion

Oh you really fooled me good
Oh so good
Good, as in pleasantly 
And good as in sublimely
Good as in nothing wanting
As in I thought you were just too good to be true

CHORUS
Who was the one
Who always said forever and ever
Don’t forget
Who was the one who always said
We were a perfect fit
Who was the one 
Who had no doubt 
The future lay right ahead of us
Who was the one who said
That we were all that we needed
Don’t forget (x3)
It was I all along

Having you as the other part
Was nothing more
And nothing less than illusion

Oh you really fooled me good
Oh so good
Good, as in completely
And good as in oh so very cleverly
And good as in I was good and gone for you 
As in you had me hook line and sinker good

Repeat CHORUS

Oh you fooled me good
Oh so good
As in your disguise was crafted with care
But I had no idea 
They made those costumes
In such a slim fit

9000 Things To See

Keep Me Forever

Slim Fit

Improvisation on the theme of pursuing happiness somewhere, only to end up finding it at home.

This is a remix or ‘Exchange’ of 2 previously released tracks:
[1]“Oh You Expansive Domain!” from the first official Northfield Lenox EP “Assembly” from 2016.
[2] “The Graviton” from “The Insulators” in 2017.

The idea started while going through old project files and exchanging some of the instruments used. As well in this case, stripping down the tracks and shortening them. 

The original download link used to obtain the men’s choral sample cannot be identified to date. This track and any remixes will be left posted for now as the search continues to locate the source. If you are aware that this recording is not in the public domain, please contact the site [A caution to others using samples, keep track of them!]

Eye On Sahuarita

For Women Who Are Difficult To Love
By Warsan Shire
Recited by Tanisha Jackland (lady of fire poetry)

you are a horse running alone
and he tries to tame you
compares you to an impossible highway
to a burning house
says you are blinding him
that he could never leave you
forget you
want anything but you
you dizzy him, you are unbearable
every woman before or after you
is doused in your name
you fill his mouth
his teeth ache with memory of taste
his body just a long shadow seeking yours
but you are always too intense
frightening in the way you want him
unashamed and sacrificial
he tells you that no man can live up to the one who
lives in your head
and you tried to change, didn't you?
closed your mouth more
tried to be softer
prettier
less volatile, less awake
but even when sleeping you could feel
him travelling away from you in his dreams
so what did you want to do, love
split his head open?
you can't make homes out of human beings
someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.

For Women Who Are Difficult To Love by Warsan Shire

Just listen........
