Preludium (Oddrun Eikli and Torbjørn Vagle)

Although it is considered a bad sign that so many gigantic, fantastic glaciers are melting globally, it must also be said how beautiful their ice floes and rushing water ravines and avalanches are to observe visually or to hear. Nature is amazing!

The melancholic contemplation of Mark van Maaren aka Les Salopes  https://soundcloud.com/les-salopes inspired me to complicity in this musical narrative.

Story Telling Time

I’m walking the streets
As the city sleeps
All curtains are closed
The blinds all down
No lights shining through any window

No one to be seen
No voices to be heard
As in a concrete desert
I’m Feeling unobserved

The wind taking it slow
Moon hiding it’s face behind a cloud
My footsteps echoing
Bouncing of the brick walls

A gentle drizzle shines the road
A quiet rain
A Doppler siren sings it song
Of troubles , far far away

Streetlights making an aisle
showing me the way
Though I walked this road many times
Knowing every crooked curb, every loose tile
I appreciate the gesture

Traffic lights still keeping control
Of things that aren’t there
The green man flashes happily
The orange light imitating the sunset
And even the bridges are vast asleep

A city sweeper passing by
His cart in a hurry
Heading where he is needed
Heading towards a tidy day

Across the street a drunk is making a fight
With gravity and himself
But give him the glory of a winner
And trust he’ll get home safe

Walking by this place
Where some sort a party is nearing it’s end
Lazy, late laughter of tired folks
Shreds of dancing music
But no more dancing shadows behind the window

The lush trees around the park lane
Give cover to the half boys, half men
Keeping their secret habits out of sight
Smoking, talking, alert yet calm
A quick look enough to see I’m no danger

The smell of rising bread
The steamy windows of the bakery
A promise for this upcoming day
At least there will be breakfast

A distant train
Pounding it’s wheels on the track
The rhythm of transit
The beat of big and small journey’s
There is always those who have to go somewhere

If I take it slow
I might hear the blackbird

Story Telling Time (Mark van Maaren / Guitarbeard)

HELL IS MY PLAYGROUND (HEAVEN IS FOR WIMPS)

You told me to go to hell
Well I’m back smelling of roses
I'm meaner, I’m leaner
Going to hell brought me out of my shell

(Chorus)

Ambition is lust
Success is a must
Gimlet eyed, tongue tied, raw inside
I get what I want and I know what I need
I’m so ambitious it makes me bleed bleed bleed

(Chorus)

Hell is in Hello
That's the place to go
There is no alternative , no plan B (no plan B)
Damnation made a man of me (of me)

(Chorus)

The sooner you walk it, the sooner you talk it
I’ll say it louder, louder than war
Hell is my playground
Coz heaven's for wimps
Alright!

Chorus
Hell is my playground
Hell is my playground
Hell is my playground
Hell is my playground
Coz heaven's for wimps

This track starts ominously but soon lightens up with a slightly haunting  strings and horn theme. 

It's taken from Lockdown Jam 3, recorded on the 27th of April 2020, using the wonderful work of @idin-samimi-mofakham, @martyna-kosecka and Michael Vallone (@taraexperiment) as source material for our improvised manipulations!
