Midnight In The Swamp

Johnny’s on the Water was learned from the singing of Appalachian folk singer Jean Ritchie (1922 - 2015). It twists the archetypal story of a woman left behind by a sailor, the singer rejecting grief and finding empowerment: ‘if he can live without me, I can live without him’. This line became the heart of our arrangement. 

We created this arrangement in residence at Snape Maltings in 2022. In slowing down the tempo, destabilising the rhythm, and replacing Ritchie’s sparse dulcimer accompaniment with an ensemble of modular synths, guitars and affected strings, we explore the way that the open sea warps our understanding of time and distance. The trumpet solo was played by Lissie Daly, a tireless campaigner for women in brass.

Johnny's On The Water

FAITHFUL JOHANNES X NEOCIA

Sincerity rapper Faithful Johannes and producer Neocia's debut collaboration.  A childhood obsession with astronomy collides with devastating moment the 2008 moment that NASA's Ultra Deep Field image revealed graphically how terrifying big the universe is.  It really is easier not to think about it.

Word and Vocals Faithful Johannes

Ultra Deep

She said she’s not unhappy
Just really likes the sad songs
It helps her think about things
All things both right and wrong

He says she’s always in his head
Like Patti Smith’s Book Of Days
He thinks about her way too much
And it leaves him in a haze

And they park down off the rail trail
And he moves away the garbage
And he spreads out his old jacket
And the wind comes down the mountain

He says baby I'm not joking
I'd be gone if I didn't meet you
There's a few things here in Tannersville
I find it hard to go back to

She grew up on the mountain
She's never really been anywhere
But the tourists come from far away
And they end up being everywhere

And they park down off the rail trail
And he moves away the garbage
And he spreads out his old jacket
And the wind comes down the mountain

She still loves to go out dancing
She’s got a touch of silver gray
Her first husband worked the railroad
And she’s trying to find her way

The sun was always a good sign
And that seemed like a reason
To spend some time in Kaaterskill Falls
Where they welcomed the new season

And they park down off the rail trail
And he moves away the garbage
And he spreads out his old jacket
And the wind comes down the mountain
And they park down off the rail trail
And he moves away the garbage
And he spreads out his old jacket

LOVE WITHOUT PAROLE

By David Snyder

V1

Yesterday we were eighteen, I can smell that summer rain
I still miss your breathless kiss, and how your sweetness felt like pain
And yeah,  I remember you, and when I do, I feel in debt, but no regrets
So how come you're the thing that hurts me 
the most when I look back
why would a loving Universe make a heart that works like that   

CH

I think you own some part of me and I can't buy it back  
I'm a hostage to your memory, why did you do that
and there's some tiny hole inside my heart  where you will always be
and I'm doing love without parole, oh yeah 
And no one  knows but you
how much I loved you
and no one knows but you 
what love without parole has done 
to me 

V2

They say the man upstairs
Always has a plan
But the way he makes our hearts
I just don’t understand
One day the world is young
Next day the world is old
One day your heart’s on fire
Next day it’s all gone cold

CH

I think you own some part of me and I can't buy it back  
I'm a hostage to your memory, why did you do that
and there's some tiny hole inside my heart  where you will always be
and I'm doing love without parole, oh yeah 
And no one  knows but you
how much I loved you
and no one knows but you 
what love without parole has done 
to me 
to me,  oh oh  
this love without parole 
this love without parole
is killing me
