America
BY CLAUDE MCKAY (1921)
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

AMERICA by Brian Butts & Nadia Selvaggi (with The Windscale Blues Experiment)

Silence After You Leave (Live Version)

Subterranean air flows and echoes can beautifully bend and distort sounds (and conversations). Riding the 'tube', 'underground', 'metro' or 'subway' systems is a fascination for some (myself included), for some a mystery and for some an onerous necessity.

Track: 3 track saxophone conversations / clarinet background

ENGLISH TEXT FOLLOWS

Die Komposition gibt es in zwei Versionen. Bei der neuen habe ich einige Text-Samples herausgenommen, mir war das auf einmal zu viel Text.
Die alte Version habe drin gelassen, weil sie schon von einigen Leuten kommentiert und repostet worden war.
__________
There are two versions of the composition. In the new one, I took out some of the text samples because I suddenly found it too much text.
I left the old version in because it had already been commented on and reposted by a few people.
