Best of The Beatles, Vol. 9

Mean Mr Mustard (Originally Performed by The Beatles) (Karaoke Version)

We’re happy to announce the welcoming of Heather Woods Broderick to our roster with her new album Domes. The album will be released on May 13th 2022 on vinyl, tape and digital. After having released solo albums on Western Vinyl and Preservation, Domes presents the first entirely instrumental work of the California based multi-instrumentalist.

Domes is a collection of meditative pieces based around the cello. While not being her primary instrument, the cello holds a very special place for the artist. Throughout the past 2 years, Heather often felt the need to find moments of respite in response to the chaotic and turbulent times we all faced in that period. Her days started or ended with the cello. A single melody initiated a process in which new elements were gradually added to the initial loop until the sounds filled her up. This process and the instrumental nature of these pieces opened the path for self-reflection and enabled her to express emotions outside the world of words or lyrics:
 
“The cyclical nature of the loop combined with the sound feeling like it’s surrounding me feels serene and safe. My hope is that listeners experience this as well.” - Heather Woods Broderick
 
Domes is a documentation of that period and offers 7 pieces which to the artist feels like dense masses – strong grounding sounds that can hold weight or be used to disperse weight - in an emotional sense. The album title, Domes, reflects this idea as domes are made out of triangles – the strongest shapes in the physical world. Coincidentally, there are 7 different triangles. As such, the pieces on Domes each reflect a different triangle, a different strongest shape which offers the listener a solid basis to find rest and calmness.

Heather Woods Broderick - Figura

Sometimes feeling like hopeless? Yeah, me too! Like I have a secondhand life in a secondhand country, in a secondhand store already picked over for all the good stuff by some rich brats or worse, bullies. Still trying not to be discouraged. Secondhand time is really a metaphor for getting a second chance and not giving up. We all deserve it!  Fight on!  Do not give up!  We are with you!  Or, as another saying I have heard goes, "Slava Ukraini!"

Lyrics:

Whatever you're thinking,
You are not doing fine.
Peer in your mind,
You're on secondhand time.

And it's a long way back,
To the beginning.
But are you too far gone,
This time?

That's not what I said.

Whatever you're reading,
It is not what it seems.
A two bit mystery,
In a periscope dream.

And it's a short glance back,
To your misgivings.
You're in a dim lit, dark,
Coal mine.
We both have that view.

Just keep on searching.
You'll find a passage out.
You've been rehearsing?
Secondhand time is now!

The place where you're bleeding,
It is not where you think.
You'll need a drink,
'Cause you are on the brink.

And there is one way back,
From your cliff-hanger.
And it is not your rope,
Tied noose.
Don't jump from that stool!

Don't quit your searching.
It's sure a long way down.
I hope that rope breaks.
You're not some hand-me-down!

Please don't quit searching.
Could be you're almost there.
Don't quit rehearsing.
Your next act starts right now!

So quit your griping.
Secondhand time is now!

Secondhand time is now!
