Sounding Awesome. love the gentle sweeping detail.

Moved house over the past few months. Been without a music nook for far too long now. Put this together at a makeshift desk with only headphones for monitoring. It might sound a bit wonky.

This song was written by Chuck Berry while in prison and was recorded
in 1964.  This " poor boy" traveled across dozen states by bus, train and
plane to get to his promise land (California).  It was also recorded by
Elvis Presley .  Remember, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Freddy Weller,
had a hit with it also.  Louisiana's own Johnny Allen also had a hit with
it here in cajun land.  Having a little fun with this one.

Noly and I collaborated on a track some months ago called The Salt Room.  You can find it under tracks on this page and at Noly Williams here on Soundcloud.  Based on how enjoyable that collaboration was, I sent the basic tracks for this song to Noly (after many delays on my part) and once again she has performed her magic, making something transcendent from a humble origin.

Don’t You Know You’re Killing Yourself?

Don’t you know you’re killing yourself
We have it all in writing
look around there’s nobody else
but that’s what’s exciting

What good has free will got you
Coffee or tea?
Don’t you know you’re killing yourself
How else could it be?

Can’t you see you’ve done this before
with no variation
Caught in a call you just can’t ignore
the same old situations 

You always catch me walking alone
or my identical twin
Can’t you see we’ve done this before
I know we’ll do it again

You’re so high, you feel dizzy
like a prehistoric bird
perched on a cliffs edge
sublime but absurd

Can’t you see you’re killing yourself
it’s written in the stars
you remind me of Nellie Bly 
or Belshazzar
 
I’m not here to tell you something
you don’t already know
Can’t you see you’re killing yourself
so it goes, so it goes

Don't You Know (You're Killing Yourself)

Dirge Without Music

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.  Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.

Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains,—but the best is lost.

The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,—
They are gone.  They are gone to feed the roses.  Elegant and curled
Is the blossom.  Fragrant is the blossom.  I know.  But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know.  But I do not approve.  And I am not resigned.
