An excellent meditation on the meaning of time, the passing of time, and our existential response to it.

quite theatrical and philosophical words ....interesting.

Your thoughtful poem so well articulates your leadoff statement: “The map to a better future is clearly written in the past.”   It’s true, to move forward, we must first remember, then accept.  Otherwise we just grovel in the present, mad at one another about how we got here

I love that lyric - time is such a waste of time.

Lyrics that make you think, Dave! The present is made of the past... and the past of the present. Which one, it's up to us to decide.

‘What will you do tomorrow?’ I think this is a great line. Fantastic lyrics and great guitar too!

Great tune Dave, according to Einstein Time doesn't exist ...wish i could go back in time, so many things i'd change . Johnny

I Recently had the pleasure and the honor of working on a Furico Music Team-music works Album project. A Fantastic and wonderfully complex collection of 10 songs  simply called "Leaked Live FMT 1" and "Leaked Live FMT2". I am presenting this song With FMT and Windscale Blues Experiment's kind permission.  It is a first take out-take that i was quite Taken with, And quite a bit different than the final cut. Thanks for the listen and Please check this "Live" album out!😊🕉
Lyric..
I just had and idea about an idea about an idea that someone else had.
The Cats were meowing the Farmers were plowing
The Earth was spinning around and around.
There are a few moments that are truly sublime
but most of the time, that's just not the case.
one thing iI've learned in this life that's true.
One psychopath is better than two.

I thought it was dollar but it just turned out to be a dime
i thought that i had found true love but i got out just in time
I thought it was a favor but it turned out to be Crime,
I thought it was just a moment, but it took up all my time..

Still processing my father's loss, and struggling to put fingers to keys of late. But I know that I need to push through this wail and return to the you-n-i-verse eventually.

He'd want it that way.

LYRICS

The Truth about axes
is they smash through the frays
of the eyes and the neighs,
chunk rough trunks in their ways,
but harvest vines and scythed hays
are immune somehow

And then my father died


The thing about truths
is they burst veins with their use
as they bump and they bruise
debase and abuse
while made-up monks gussy down for pastel plaster plays,
giddy-thrup and are amused somehow

As they watch my father die


To axe about things
that make wishes with rings
grains of sooth waxed to wings
whether leather or feather
they weather the soul with
the truths that they bring
sun-drunk lay in their daze 
flippant, mince with loose ways
and flap lips like goosed fools

While my father dies

Lyrics: copyright jo richter (apart from the short section by A.G. in the beginning, of course)
Note: The poem was written as a tribute to the music that Jeff created first.

This is the e-bow dao
the epitome of transformation
the electro-magnetic, eternal feedback of bliss
powered by a universe condensed in a metal casing
evoking a universe that unfolds neural cavities
to reverb vibrations in all hues and colours
especially those unseen before.

This is the process to end all states
and free the butterfly that is Chuang-Tse
from the shackles of dire duality
and make him join the cyberpunk hobos
riding right through glitchy illusions
flickering inside of doorframe screens.

This is the call to all end-of-time locos
to unpeople the karmic metaverse plains
and behold! that they can‘t help arriving
but can stop making sensations mundane
by comparing, by judging, by interpretation
- a cycle is run when met by the same
and knowledge ends when the river flows on.

This is thew Heraclitus
this is the yarn Penelope knits
Verdandi‘s weird realm of manifestation
the abyss‘ rim of black-hole horizons
where Enkidu talks to wild beasts and trees
where Gallifrey breeds reincarnation
with each fatal shootout of chi-spawned seeds.

This is the e- bow dao
Aphrodite reborn in spring-sponging foam
you‘ll lose your belongings, your security clearing
the servers on this farm are all interlinked
with the waveform dimensions
that keep breeding, breeding
new life out of old
turning lead into gold
vanishing when you try to hold on

E - BOW DAO ( Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches)a poem by Jo Richter

I guess I am hung up on how and why we repeat mistakes over and over.
The map to a better future is clearly written in the past.
Learn from it, don't distort it,

so what's an hour...It's 60 minutes
so what's a minute...it's 60 seconds
so what's a second..now that's really fast
so what's it matter..not much if they die in the past

time is such a waste of time ,look at all I've wasted
worrying about the time that's left and not taking time to live it
I'm so afraid of dying that I do no more living
I think so much of what I want that I do no more giving
I pretend to live forever though I know that it's not true
So I lie and say tomorrow I'll find time to call you

so what can make it last...I mean forever
and what is the past...an ancient river
so what is the future...a shadow in the night
so what does it all matter..we need the past to give us light

we live and die every day and dump our deeds along the path
stumble forward in the dark as if forever we will last
we have to heed the deeds we did and remember what they sowed
or else we stumble off a cliff and the future leaves us cold
and alone with the ghosts of our regrets of what we could have done
if we had listened to the past and not partied in the sun

so what's it matter, the past??

From the  EP "Smilers" June 2023
Howling at the moon for my one true love.
Lyrics:
How high the moon?
How high the sky?
My love for you is infinite and wise
I drank from your well
And I never went thirsty
How high the moon!
How high the sky!

How high the moon
How high the sky 
My love for you is infinite and wise
You know I drank from your well
And you never left me thirsty
I know I put you through hell
But you can only see the good in me
How high the moon
How high the sky
Our love is infinite and wise

How High The Moon

A poem, accompanied with original background piano music:

	
From The 'Antigone' by William Butler Yeats


Overcome -- O bitter sweetness,
Inhabitant of the soft cheek of a girl --
The rich man and his affairs,
The fat flocks and the fields' fatness,
Mariners, rough harvesters;
Overcome Gods upon Parnassus;

Overcome the Empyrean; hurl
Heaven and Earth out of their places,
That in the Same calamity
Brother and brother, friend and friend,
Family and family,
City and city may contend,
By that great glory driven wild.

Pray I will and sing I must,
And yet I weep -- Oedipus' child
Descends into the loveless dust.



Analysis

William Butler Yeats' poem "From The 'Antigone'" explores themes of fate, divine will, and human suffering. It reflects on the tragic conflict between individual moral duty and societal laws, inspired by Sophocles' "Antigone." Yeats captures the timeless struggle of resisting unjust authority, emphasizing the inevitability of tragedy in the human condition. The poem's lyrical intensity and classical references underscore the enduring relevance of these themes.



Concerning the background music:
 
Neo-Contemporary Ethereal Fusion music is an attempt at an extraordinary and intricate musical journey that incorporates an array of innovative elements and artistic influences. Drawing inspiration from Neo-Classical, Avant-Garde, and Contemporary music, it stands as a tribute to the limitless possibilities to poetic exploration. 

This track showcases relentless commitment for pushing the boundaries of musical expression beyond the musical rules. 

Its Experimental nature invites listeners to embrace the unknown, as it delves into uncharted sonic territories. The result is an intricate tapestry of sound that challenges traditional norms and expectations.

From The 'Antigone' By William Butler Yeats

these are short songs ,poems more than musical songs really,that are meant to emphasize the lyrics that address what I think are critical issues for all of us : our relationship to each other/the planet/ourselves.. so please have a listen and let me know your thoughts. nothing fancy/cell phone recordings/take care be safe
