The last drum of the samurai. A deep emotional piece about honor, duty, and courage.

The Last Drum of the Samurai

A few years ago, a few weeks before the photograph of the drowned child refugee on the Mediterranean beach, the British press spent an awful lot of time decrying refugees. I attended a discussion with the amazing photographer Sebastio Salgado in which he said he was appalled by the attitude of the media, and that he had spent a lot of time with refugees, and in his opinion, they weren't to be vilified. He asked us to imagine making a decision to leave our homes, and travel across continents by any means possible, in order to save our families... to him, they were heroes. I wrote a couple of songs afterwards, this is one of them. With apologies to Robert A. Heinlein.


STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND

is this the place to lay my head
is this the way to break my bread
are these the words I should have said
is this the way you’ve always stayed ahead?

tell me how to show my face
show me how to know my place
tell me how to spend my time
show me how to keep…  your peace of mind…

cos I’m a stranger in your strange land
a stranger in your strange, strange land
cos I’m a stranger in your strange land
a stranger in your strange, strange land

i’m doing fine i take it once step at a time…
I’m doing well I’m just like you, but you can’t tell…

show me how you win or lose
tell me how to pick and choose
is this the way that you propose
is this the way the story goes
is this your high is this your low
is this the way your heaven never knows?

cos I’m a stranger in your strange land
a stranger in your 

take a turn you can learn
what it means to be
you should know how it feels, 
what it feels to be
you should see what it is
what it is to be
a stranger in our strange land

take a turn you can learn
what it means to be
you should know how it feels, 
what it feels to be
you should know what it takes 
what it breaks, to be
a stranger in our strange land

to be a stranger in our strange land
a stranger in our strange land…

I wanted to make an agreeable dance music. Catchy but not hard on the ears. Hope you enjoy it.

The third of our vocoder project tracks, certainly the most like pop music yet.

LYRICS:

We are gonna fly in the fallen sky
We're circling the light in a dreamless high
We are gonna glide when our wings grow tired
We're floating through the night on a dreamless tide

We're gonna fly on down
When circumstance allows
We're gonna circle round
In a search for higher ground

Dreamless
