19th Degree Blues (2024 Master)

19th. Degree Blues

"The Great Longing," was inspired by a musical idea by the wonderful Yotsugi and dives deep into themes of loss, yearning, and transcendence, as seen in the poignant passage you quoted:

"My soul, I have given you everything, even my last possessions, and all my hands have emptied themselves for you. To command you to sing, that was my last thing! Commanding you to sing—and now, speak, say: who of us now has to be grateful? Or, even better: sing for me, sing, my soul! And let me give thanks!"

This song resonates with the struggle of holding on while feeling the pull of the unknown. It is a plea for the soul to keep singing, even when everything else seems to be slipping away.

Lyrically, "The Great Longing" captures the existential struggle of losing touch with oneself, searching for direction, and the hope of reconnecting through the soul’s persistent song. Like the themes in Nietzsche’s work, it explores the tension between despair and the will to continue—a longing for a deeper connection, both with oneself and with life.

The Great Longing

Satellite, I see you flying through the sky.
Can you tell me why you've gotta get so high?
I have never seen such motion all my life.
Satellite, you shine your light and pass on by.

Satellite, what is the purpose of your being?
I can't comprehend the sights that you have seen.
I have no idea what they have got in store.
Satellite, they always seem to want some more.

Straight lines cross the sky.
The stars are left behind.
The grandeur of the moon.
Is crossed by you so soon.
I love you, satellite.

Satellite, I stand here staring from the ground.
While you watch us up in space, recording sound.
Satellite, who sent you up to spy on me?
You were only supposed to help us become free.

Satellite, a glowing tin can full of war.
Falling sideways past the earth outside my door.
Are you filling up on data from ruskies?
Satellite, one day you'll bring us to our knees.

Soaring cross sun-rays.
You transmit through the haze.
A howl up to the moon.
It's crossed by you so soon.
I love you, satellite. (x4)

Satellite

Are you watching the earth spin around?
Through the clouds, through the clouds, all the clouds.
You don't lift up your head up and look round.
Look around, look around, at the clouds.
When the cloudburst is tumbling down.
To the ground.

See you speak but you don't make a sound.
Look around, for the sound, for the sound.
And you're only a face in the crowd?
Walking round, head bowed down, bowing down.
Won't you get your head out of my clouds?
On the ground.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.

Is your head fucked up spinning around?
Spin around, round and round, spinning round.
Is your head still stuck up in a cloud?
Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down.
You choose now to take your look around?
To the ground.

When you can't see the wood for the trees?
On your knees, to your knees, on your knees.
And if you don't stay still you will freeze.
As you please, as they please, as I please.
All the clouds floating off on the breeze.
On your knees.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.

Lyrics

Whilst seeking out light in the dark.
You whispered and put out your spark.
Supposedly seeking out truth.
You wandered in amongst the brutes.

Oh, Ozymandias you are.
But you didn't fall very far.
The never ending stretch of sands,
And every bit flows through your hands.

You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Oh, you howled at the sight of the moon.
You wanted to be me.
You wanted to temper the shock.
Took your shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.
 
You sought out the secret too soon.
The dog star the arriving in June.
You barely remembered the tune.
you drank up your fill of the Moon.

A beutiful, terrible mind.
Beware spake the sign of the sign.
Your arrow is shot fallingdown.
You'll never escape from this town.

You wanted to be me.
You wanted to see what I've got.
Not a lot.
Did it all by the light of the moon.
You wanted to beat me.
You wanted to see what I'm not.
Took a shot.
By the light of the blood orange moon.

Winter Solstice (Into the Fog Again)

LYRICS (Lennon/McCartney)

Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby,
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been.
Lives in a dream.
Waits at the window.
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door.
Who is it for?

All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people.
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie,
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear.
No one comes near.
Look at him working.
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there.
What does he care?

All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people.
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby,
Died in the church and was buried along with her name.
Nobody came.
Father McKenzie,
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave.
No one was saved.

All the lonely people. (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people. (ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

Eleanor Rigby [The Beatles Cover]

Intro:

Woke up to the sound of rain,
Dripping through the ceiling stain.
Bills stacked high on the counter there,
Turn on the news—more hate in the air.

Verse 1:
Prices climb but my pay stays low,
Seems like everywhere I go,
People shouting, pointing blame,
No one listens, it’s all the same.

Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know how much more I can take,
Feels like the ground is starting to break…

Chorus:
Oh, everything’s falling apart,
But I’m still here with a heavy heart.
Trying to hold on, trying to stand tall,
When the walls cave in and the raindrops fall.

Verse 2:
Mama’s coughing, daddy’s weak,
Doctors say it’s getting bleak.
Kids got bruises, stitches tight,
Car’s in the shop, but they’re all right.

Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know how much more I can take,
Feels like the ground is starting to break…

Chorus:
Oh, everything’s falling apart,
But I’m still here with a heavy heart.
Trying to hold on, trying to stand tall,
When the walls cave in and the raindrops fall.

Bridge:
And my old dog stares at me,
Her legs are weak, but her eyes still see.
She tries to run, but she just falls down,
Like this whole damn world is spinning ‘round.
But she wags her tail, won’t let go,
Maybe that’s something I should know…

Chorus:
Oh, everything’s falling apart,
But love still beats in a wounded heart.
I won’t let go, I’ll stand up tall,
Even when the raindrops fall.

Outro:
Roof still leaks, and the world still burns,
But love’s the only thing that returns.
So I hold on, though it’s torn apart,
Still a little light in the dark.

Falling apart

[Verse 1]
She was just a kid when she took the lead,
High school ended, but she had a family in need.
Got a job, worked late, put gifts under the tree,
Made sure the holidays felt just like they should be.

[Pre-Chorus]
Mom did her best, but the weight was so strong,
Dad was just a shadow, never stayed too long.
But Big Sister stepped up, never let us fall,
She gave us a childhood, she gave us it all.

[Chorus]
Oh, Big Sister’s light shined through the dark,
Turned the hard times into a brand-new start.
With a heart full of fire and a dream so wide,
She made sure we never felt left behind.

[Verse 2]
Carnivals, lemonade stands on the street,
She was the boss, and we worked for a treat.
Clean-up parties, we’d dance through the mess,
She paid in Hercules flips and love nonetheless.

[Pre-Chorus]
She booked the bands, called it "The Decco" scene,
Selling wigs from a van, chasing every dream.
A business mind in a world so tough,
She made it look easy, but we knew it was rough.

[Chorus]
Oh, Big Sister’s light shined through the dark,
Turned the hard times into a brand-new start.
With a heart full of fire and a dream so wide,
She made sure we never felt left behind.

[Bridge]
From the city streets to the mountain air,
She built a life with a love so rare.
Health food stores and trading deals,
Making magic, Brandon's meals.

[Verse 3]
Now looking back, I finally see,
The way she shaped the best in me.
Through every struggle, through every fight,
She was our shelter, our guiding light.

[Chorus (Final)]
Oh, Big Sister’s light shined through the dark,
Turned the hard times into a brand-new start.
With a heart full of fire and a dream so wide,
She made sure we never felt left behind.

[Outro]
So here’s to you, the one who stood tall,
The sister, the mother, the heart of it all.
Through every storm, through every demand,
We grew up strong with Big Sister’s plan.

Big Sisters Light

[Verse 1]
Packed my bags, left the shore,
Ventura sun, I’d see no more.
Dad had plans, we crossed the sea,
But in Geneva, it wasn’t meant to be.

At first, it felt like something new,
American school, a different view.
But then he left for Africa's call,
And I felt lost, I felt small.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hit the rails, one-way ride,
Chasing something deep inside.
Through Spain, through Rome, the world flew by,
Under foreign stars, I learned to fly.

[Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

[Verse 2]
Athens nights and Cyprus skies,
Each new stop, a piece of life.
But my heart was set ahead,
To the Holy Land where my soul was led.

Half the day with hands in dirt,
Half the day where books would work.
Simple life, the air so clean,
It felt like waking from a dream.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I hit the rails, one-way ride,
Chasing something deep inside.
Through Spain, through Rome, the world flew by,
Under foreign stars, I learned to fly.

[Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

[Bridge]
Didn’t need a map, just a heart on fire,
Wanderer’s soul, climbing higher.
Maybe home’s not a place on a map,
But a feeling you chase and never look back.

[Outro]
Ventura’s waves still call my name,
But I’m not the same, I’ve changed my lane.
From Geneva’s halls to an open sky,
This is my life—I won't say goodbye.

[Final Chorus]
Runaway train, don’t slow down,
Searching for a place where I won’t drown.
Through the mountains, through the sea,
Found a place where I could be free.

Runaway Train
