Eternal Reflections

Lux Aeterna

"Oil and Water" is the first piece of my new Tableaux Électroniques project.

This track is marked by some stark contrasts: between acoustic and electronic instruments, between fast and slow sections, between swing and straight rhythms.
These contrasts won't blend, but they will come to a sort of uneasy cohabitation, just like oil and water sometimes do.

All the melodies you hear are played by a clarinet, at times heavily distorted and effected.

"Oil and Water" emulsify two themes taken from previous "Moods and Modes" pieces: Marilyn for the slow swing section and Geronimo for the fast one.

Oil and Water

The way you crushed me with your smile
believe me, I could tell it’s over.
I thought I was prepared, and yet I never dared
content to play the fool.

Sweet undulations of denial—
deceive me like your other lover!

I’ve no right to protest, I made this bloody mess
and now I have to push your pull.

When someone tears our world apart
do we just blame it on the heart?
There’s only so much space and time
that we can fit inside our mind...

You'll never know before you’ve lived,
and having lived it teaches nothing.
We age into knowing less, 
it’s all a bloody mess
that’s why we blame it on the heart.

When someone tears your world apart,
go ahead and blame it on the heart.
There’s only so much space and time
that we can fit inside our mind.
