This song comes from wilderness. Olena and Marko found me aimless and wandering in Krakow, which somehow led, two days later, to an evening spent by the Western Carpathian mountains surrounded by a larger group of friends. Guitars around a campfire, melodies sung into the night. After leaving them, I wrote the main theme in trying to capture the mood we'd found.

I forgot about the song until a year later, when it seemed a good idea to gather all the “postcard” songs composed during journeys afar. Many of the themes seemed to want to stay simple and untouched, but “Foot of the Carpathians” presented a deeper mystery. I felt it was worth trying to expand the track’s primary statement into a few different but related harmonies, and introduce it to Nir Sabag (drums) and Hugo Reydet (bass) with room for melodic and rhythmic improvisation. I hoped a trio in musical conversation would be fitting for a song born from a small gathering.

We, together with longtime production friends Virgil Segal and Brian Trahan, recorded the track at TRIXX Studios in Berlin, Germany. The soundscapes were meticulously scored later, combining sounds found separately. This could not have been accomplished without Brian’s impeccable sound engineering. Full sound credits are listed at http://travelpoems.com/#about -- however, the primary contribution to the vibe of the soundscapes in this track is a recording of a Tibetan singing bowl, made in Duisburg, tuned to the frequency of the asteroid Ceres. 

If hearing this song evokes for you any memories, or fantasies, or other stories, I would love to know -- just message me here, or at eric@travelpoems.com. The live Travel Poems show features immersive storytelling, so it may be possible to weave your story into the musical experience.

Foot of the Carpathians

Lyrics:

its like a fire in my brain has been turned off
its like the memories from childhood have been lost
its like i'm swimming in a pool of my emotions
but i cant figure out where them emotions have come from

is this what it feels like to be alone
if it is i don't think i can cope
i spoke to mum last night she said have hope
i said i wish that i could see you through the phone

twisted feelings
cant deny it
try to hide it
you are lyin

i let it out thats where it all began
like pandoras box its growing out of hand
the horizon is in front of us again
as were sailing no regrets to our amends

twisted feelings
cant describe it
try to hide it
n stop the sirens

twisted feelings
cant deny it
try to hide it
you are lyin

Twisted Feelings

I added to this but it was originally Prod by Ricci 

I don't really speak much on what's going on in the world, but I definitely see it. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Lyrics:
Try to read my face
I'm a mess
I don't care about others

Getting through the day
Don't confess
I can live without ya

Fucked up off supply
Try to breathe
You can barely bother

Playing with a gun
On your waist
You gon shoot another

Stop
Beating up yourself
Trading what you're dealt
Drinking on a weekday
But you care about your health

Pull the trigger
Another one dead
It will make you bigger
Another mad
You've been counting figure
For what
You gon die a sinner

You still bother me
Break your bank so you own supreme
Rob your friends and avoid the heat
You're obsolete
You overeat

Think your hot shit
Run your name
Off the coffin

Your doing blow
Way to often
But no one cares
You ain't loved, kid
