The unpredictable yet cyclical currents of desire. 

We wrestled with this song so hard as a band; the version on Returning Current is essentially a Remix - version five? Six? Perhaps the song was engaging us in the experience of its lyrics' meaning, a sort of musical dramatization - Cyclone, strict mistress, wanted us to embody the exasperating lessons of desire and attachment, that the more you want 'it,' the further 'it' slips from your grasp. She had a copy of Goethe in one hand, and, waving her other finger at us, she warned 'confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.' 

Nick Zammuto (formerly The Books) and Daniela have nurtured a friendship and musical collaboration that has spanned over a decade. She sang on several tracks on his most recent album Anchor. As The Books was largely concerned with re-imagining and re-contextualizing found sound and video, perhaps one of Nick's most fluent and elegant languages is The Remix. What luck to have such a master lend his attention to the bones of this stubborn song.
