The Rendezvous

‘Will we be fools again’ 
Written in September 2023 after standing in a queue in Starbucks, looking out at a wet, dirty and declining High Street.  I had been been watching the people in town, including one particular couple locked into an intense conversation under an umbrella. They prompted the story in the song. 

I wanted the backing to be sparser and more guitar led to give it an edge. I also wanted the instrumental in the middle to have a woozy, emotional feel to it. 

It’s a song about everyday people ‘stuff’ against a backdrop of a slowly deteriorating townscape. It couldn’t be slick (and I couldn’t be no matter how hard I try!) I hope you enjoy the song. Best with headphones! 

Take care

James (lyrics below) 

Will we be fools again? 

The chewing gum looks like leopard spots on the pavements in the rain
And litter blocks the drains again

Recklessly, we agreed to meet, after these silent years
Now there’s excitement and fear!

Behind the wall, by the social club, an old sanctuary for lovers 

We’ll talk, we’ll laugh 
and then I’ll start to think 
will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again? 

Graffiti on the empty shops, can our town survive?
And meanwhile we destabilise our lives! 

What fools we’d be, to lift the lid and let those lies escape 
Just think of all the hearts we’d break 

But we’re in your car, the radio’s on, as we unwrap the past! 

That smile! Those eyes!
Make me start to think
Will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again?

I’m aware, yeah I’m aware, 
I know where my fault lines are
And you’re spread right across them!  
Right across them.. yeah!

Instrumental 

Yes, we’ll talk, we’ll laugh
You know I’ll start to think
Let us be fools again
Please let us be fools again

Yes, we’ll touch, we’ll kiss
And then the path is clear
For us fools again
Let us be fools again….please, please..

James Whiteman September 2023

Will we be fools again?

... inspiration can brood and bubble at times, barely detectable to all but that subtle sight - the vague yet hopeful perception of a vast web, which shines somehow in the eye of intention. see through doldrums to the eternal wind. thanks for listening <3

Now playing: Version A2（1st Take)

WHO ARE SHELLF LIFE? They are as exlusive as evasive and have never coveted the limelight. SHELLF LIFE are a musician's band, if there ever was one. It is a rare occassion to have the opportunity to hear them perform. Now, VU METRICS has managed to engage three of their members in an interview. Actually, it is the only public interview we know of, apart from some unverified appearances on the darknet. To call this interview E X C L U S I V E, therefore, would be an understatement of bluntest kind.
[...]

The full interview, revealing some of SHELLF LIFE's strangest quirks will be available on the Furico Music Team's blog: 
https://furicomusicteam.blogspot.com/p/shellf-life-interview.html

More info on SHELLF LIFE, collected by the Furico Music Team: furicomusicteam.blogspot.com/p/shellf-life.html (btw, personally, I do not believe TI that "we had no contact with them before that". I think, he just does not want to violate some secret underground code, the New Wave omerta ;-)

lyrics (copyright jo richter):

first-class wormhole
from boston to berlin
new kids on the old dole
vuitton vermillion

where are the tigers
on the swank, sunlit border
sunflower hiker
first drink, second order

syncretic synthetics
wormwood for banshees
three musketeer flicks
david bowie four-d

galapagos penguins
freezing the stations
inflatable ice rinks
legal hibernation

SHELLF LIFE - Vermillion Syncretism (1st Take)

While we wait for BARDS: Of The Shimmering Seraphs to finish physical production, in the meantime we are forging ahead with a new crop of songs for the next album. The next album will serve as a continuation of the oracle deck concept, featuring songs about "objects" - the first of which be this little song about the magical horn of the elusive and beautiful Aardvark Girl. It is also about a recently discovered strange dwarf planet at the farthest reaches of our solar system.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà  was discovered on 19 Oct 2007 at the Palomar observatory in California, at 9:09 UT. Gkunhomdima is a member of the extended scattered disc and is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO). Its orbit is inclined 23° off the ecliptic and is quite elliptical. It was knocked out of a normal orbit early in the history of the solar system, probably as Neptune migrated outward to its current position, which gives the high  inclination of Gkunhomdima’s orbit. However, there is no known orbital resonance with any other planetary body, except for its binary companion. Its ‘moon’, or secondary is called G!o’e !Hu (pronounced GOH ay KOO). Goeku means ‘horn’, or Oryx horn. And that takes us to a bit of mythology.

Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà is also the Beautiful Aardvark Girl of Juǀʼhoan mythology, who sometimes appears in the stories of other San peoples as a python girl or elephant girl; she defends her people and punishes wrongdoers using gǁámígǁàmì spines [devil’s thorn plant], a rain-cloud full of hail, and her magical oryx horn.

LYRICS:
-------------------------------
Aardvark girl, come trumpet your horn
Bellow your clarion call
Summon your dark and impenetrable cloud
And let your hailstones fall

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound

Scatter the poisoned thorns in their lane
May they tread upon those in their path
The stinging in their feet shall remind them
They’ll be dead before their next bath

Aardvark girl burrow down in your den
The night will be ending soon
The Oryx are gathered at the watering hole
And your face is in the moon

Are we just ants crawling around on the ground
Are we just termites in a crumbling mound
We are just ants crawling around on the ground
We are just termites in a crumbling mound

The Oryx of the Aardvark Girl

I’m calling out today
There’s not much to say
If I’m being honest, there’s just someplace else I’d rather be

Always doing what I ought to do
And now I laugh at all I thought I knew
Cuz if I’ve learned anything at all it’s that this life is fleeting.

There’s not much I’m sure of in this life
But one thing is for sure.
When I’m 84
I’ll never wish I’d worked more.

Took some time off a bit ago
I gave it up to watch the kids grow
I’m satisfied ‘cause somebody wise told me they're only young once.

So, throw the money out the door.
Fuck it I can always make more.
You can take it all away cuz the money can’t replace these summer months.

There’s not much I’m sure of in this life
But when I reach my end,
Reminiscing about back when
I know I won’t regret a second spent with them

There’s not much I’m sure of in this life,
But this one is a fact
The ones you love and the days you have
There’s some things in life you just don’t get back

Not Much I'm Sure Of

La mer y était belle chancelante et cruelle
Les bleus gris s’allongent pour des reflets

Evidence, c’est la danse du bord de mer
Enivrante comme le sel au goût amer
Captivante dans les reflux solitaires
La vague est là, comme des bras en l’air

Nous aspire dans les regrets les souvenirs reviennent
Et non plus de   vents mauvais des poussières de haine
Les flots lumineux ne font pas nos peines
Ni nos espoirs déçus ils nous enchainent.

Chorus

Eternelles, sont les vagues dans les veines
Superficielles, libèrent les corps

Toujours le fil de l’eau éclaire
Même les vagues ordinaires
Dans les flots bleus où l’on se perd
Il y a … la mer

La Mer

J’ENTENDS RIEN J’ENTENDS RIEN
J’ENTENDS PLUS RIEN DE RIEN DE RIEN
Y’A TROP DE TINTOUIN
J’ENTENDS PLUS LES CLAMEURS
LES ARMES AUTOMATIQUES
J’ENTENDS PLUS LA MUSIQUE 
TOUS LES SONS COULENT À PIC		         
TITANIC TITANIC

J’ENTENDS RIEN J’ENTENDS RIEN
J’ENTENDS PLUS RIEN DE RIEN DE RIEN
ET ÇA FAIT DU BIEN
J’ENTENDS PLUS LA COLÈRE
LE VENIN LA VIPÈRE
J’ENTENDS PLUS LA PANIQUE
NI LES TAC NI LES TIC
TITANIC TITANIC

J’ENTENDS RIEN J’ENTENDS RIEN
J’ENTENDS PLUS RIEN DE RIEN DE RIEN
TOUT CE BARATIN
                  
C’EST LE MONDE DU SILENCE
PLUS DE SON PLUS DE SENS
QUAND ON Y PENSE

LE MONDE EST SOURD
LES TEMPS SONT LOURDS

ECOUTE

J'ENTENDS RIEN  (Lyrics)

Hey my friends! 
I invite each of you to listen to my story about a sleeping giant who wakes up after a long sleep. Or is it simply a sleeping city that begins another day… 
I hope you enjoy listening to this piece! 🌔

Dear friends, I really hope that we poor people on this earth will be able to experience many, many seasons in the future as well!
Sometimes it looks bad!

How many Seasons

I can feel the wind blowing from the ocean
it is so strong - it comes straight from south east
it is so hard for the birds
to be able to fly with their wings
and it feels that the autumn is here


When all is okey, I can see colors
of yellow and red with some green in between
and soon the trees will loose their leaves
but the trees will be lovely anyhow
and it feels that the autumn is here


The kids love to kick around in the dry leaves
which explode to the sky - it’s a power-ful sight
but sometimes the kids will be wet
and their mothers might sometimes get mad
and it feels that the autumn is here

I wonder now - how many seasons
can I survive - before my days are gone
it is so important to take care
of what nature will provide for us
so I can feel that the autumn has come

LYRICS 
I heard her coming in at midnight
I said honey where you been
She said I've been to the movies
With Sue and my best friend Janine

She said we been talking
Seemed like for hours and hours
I said why don't you call me
You know that I worry, She said I'm sorry

I said what was the movie
And she said I don't know
I didn't take no notice
It was just somewhere to go

And she said we been talking
Seemed like for hours and hours
I said why don't you call me
You know that I worry, She said I'm sorry

Instrumental

And she said we been talking
Seemed like for hours and hours
I said why don't you call me
You know that I worry, She said I'm sorry

I said why was you talking
Is there something I should know
She said now honey don't be silly
But her face just let it show

And she said we been talking
Seemed like for hours and hours
I said why don't you call me
You know that I worry, She said I'm sorry

I heard her coming in at midnight

Coming in at Midnight

Pipers was supposed to be part of a 'triptych' but now has ended up being a 'polyptych'...

Dall-E SUCKS as there are no explosions going on in the image, as the prompts were blocked due to "unsafe image content detected" (explosion)

Explosions were part of the track...as artists we should be able to express what we want without regard to some algorithm dictated by our 'betters"...

Vedran - The Moon's Secret Library

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

FIRST OF ALL, I WILL SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL WONDERFUL PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO MY SONGS - LOVE YOU ALL!!

Dear friends, I worry more and more about the state of the earth! More and more wars flare up, the climate is worrying with natural disasters as a result! Strong malevolent rulers emerge and succeed in egging the population of the respective countries. History has shown how it goes - I think of such men as Hitler and others! The war causes huge emissions of greenhouse gases! Instead, use the soldiers to plant trees and fight the terrible forest fires!

The Baltic Sea is living dangerously right now! Scores of ships in deplorable condition transport oil across the sea. The risks are great for extensive oil disasters! I have made some songs for the Baltic sea just to make people understand the problems.

I have recently published some of my songs on YouTube - search for Bengt Roth.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bengt+roth
I write almost all of my songs, and I sing my songs and play the guitar and the harp - no more. My recording equipment is quite modest with a Furch guitar, Alhambra guitar, Röde microphone, Focusrite and Garageband. My studio is our guest room in our house.
I was young during the 1960s when Dylan became famous. I was a member of a folk song group during that time. I love Dylan´s music!! I was also a big fan of The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Mamas and the Papas and several more singers. I like folk music and the old protest songs. I love the music of Eva Cassidy. I was also a big fan of Björn Afzelius, and I love the music of Tom Petty. I am very inspired of the music of John Denver.
Bengt and certainly several 100 million people are intensively protesting against all evil around the world!
I love to sometimes write songs that are a bit weird and self-ironic!
You know that I am a novice in the "recording business", and sometimes I have to revise the songs.
My whole grown up life was occupied by my profession as a doctor in intensive care and anesthesiology. I was head of the department of Intensive and perioperative Care in Lund, Sweden the last years. After that I have got the possibility to be dedicated to music. 
My songs are a matter of extreme happiness and extreme sadness. I write all the music and lyrics except "As tears go by", "House of the Rising Sun", and songs by Evert Taube.
I love to leave some message with my songs!
I have no previous experience of writing fiction. I have, however, some experience in writing non-fiction. I wrote my thesis, and some chapters in a textbook in anesthesiology. I was also member of a group who introduced an education program in pediatric cardio pulmonary resuscitation for laymen in Sweden.
I have created a repost page "Bengt Erik Roth Repost Page".
