As a precursor to SMRTHPHNE 2, the NOLA. EP stands as a statement of bigger things to come in the career of System the One. In this EP, prepare to see another side of System the One that remains hidden.

NOLA.

PROGRAM NOTES
Spring Songs for tenor and chamber ensemble or piano is my third song cycle celebrating the seasons. As with the first two, Winter Songs for bass-baritone and Summer Songs for soprano, this cycle contains settings of poems by various American poets.

Whereas both Winter Songs and Summer Songs end with scenes in New York City, Spring Songs begins with New York: a setting of English Sparrows (Washington Square) by Edna St. Vincent Millay, a poem about a scene that takes place in the morning in Greenwich Village, a neighborhood in New York City where Millay lived in the early 1900s. The second movement is a setting of April 5, 1974 by Richard Wilbur, a poem Wilbur wrote in honor of Robert Frost’s one-hundredth birthday, and I interpret as being about overcoming self-doubt through wisdom, and about understanding the change of seasons, but also a change of mind. The third movement, Done With by Ann Stanford, I interpret to be about death and rebirth. Stanford symbolizes this by a house being torn down and the ground paved over, the now suffocated plant life yearning to break through. The Widow’s Lament in Springtime, the fourth movement, is a setting of a poem by William Carlos Williams. I interpret this poem as a modernist, pastoral elegy that uses images of nature to lament the death of a loved one. The final movement, a setting of the poem Spring Rain by Sara Teasdale, is about a happy memory of a lover brought about by an evening thunderstorm.

Spring Songs was commissioned by Rick Teller and Kathleen Rogers and was premiered at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall by the American Modern Ensemble, Alok Kumar, tenor, and Geoffrey Burleson, piano.

..:: THE INVOLVEMENT ::..

Stay the Same
--------------------
people tell me i’m so mental
i’m negative and such a devil
kick me when i’m down
make me think there is no other way
hold my breath and make it go away
cause i’m not giving in

told me i was nothing special
so ignorant and just so stressful
i don’t even care about
the shit that breaks me down
i’ve been giving love the gift of sound

i will always stay the same 
and no one here can tell me what to say
i won’t ever change
i believe in love to heal my pain
i will never go away
certain things are meant to be that way
i will always stay the same
i will never go away

so i’m a typical example 
a bet that no one ever gambled
buried in the ground
give me death or give me all your shame
i never asked to be your point of blame
so you can go away

i fear the signs i can’t go back in time
there is too late, no returns, no repairing my life
so you decide… you won’t even try
i made mistakes over the faith that you are keeping alive
break down, yea just get over it
you make up in your head like every crazy bitch
break down, just get over it
break down, break down
