Reflexión

Song about addiction, whatever form that might take.

Tell me what it is you need  
What it is that you seek
Tell me what you believe 
All your things
Tell me that were much the same 
Its all arranged
 Tell me  im  like Novocain 
 Numb it up lets feel no pain
Numb enough to feel no chains 
Around this drain
Tell me that you cant complain 
I cant complain 
Im a little whore for gains 
Ya I play your  game 
Money yeah we make the rain 

It seems so small so minuscule ya so far away its been a decent binge 

Don’t wanna crash again     

Tell me why it is I bleed 
Wipe it up with my sleeves 
Why cant I keep it clean 
This a dream 
Tell me What’s  the point of wings 
Whats your feeling
Tell me that im not to see 
Ill blind myself ill feel you breathe   
Tell me what I need to be 
Your synergy 
Hold me down and make it seem 
Complete and free 
Im a little lucid freak 
Yeah live the dream 
Money ya we make it rain

It seems so small so miniscule ya so far away its been a decent binge 

Dont wanna crash again

Decent Binge

PROGRAM NOTES
Freya’s Tears is a companion or sister piece for another work I wrote entitled The Book of Goddesses, scored for flute, harp and percussion. Each of the movements is inspired by one of three goddesses: Iris, Freya, and Sekhmet.

In Greek mythology, Iris is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. She is said to have golden wings and is associated with communication, messages and new endeavors, and travels on rainbows while carrying messages from the gods to mortals. That image in particular provided inspiration for Iris.

The second movement, Freya’s Tears, is inspired by Freya (or Freyja), one of the major goddesses of Norse Paganism. She is often described as a goddess of love, beauty and fertility. She was also associated with war, death, wealth, prophecy and magic, as well as the reading of runes, trancing and casting spells. Her most treasured possession was the Brisings’ necklace, a golden necklace crafted by four dwarfs with such artistry that it glittered like a constellation of stars in the night sky. She was married to the God Od (or Odur) who mysteriously disappeared. When she could not find him, she wept tears of gold. The tears that hit trees turned to amber, or Freya’s Tears. I try to evoke these images in the violin and harp by using harmonics, glissandi and delicate arpeggios.

The final movement, Sekhmet, is inspired by the mythological warrior goddess Sekhmet of Upper Egypt. She is depicted as having a human body with a lioness’s head, and is the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. She was viewed as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare. It was also said that her breath created the desert.

The first and third movements call for an optional, specialized mute called the Kerrod mute. This mute muffles some of the strings during certain passages, creating a xylophone-like sound. It was invented and developed specifically for this piece by Jacqueline Kerrod and Marc Uys of Clockwise.

Freya’s Tears is written for and dedicated to Clockwise: Marc Uys violin and Jacqueline Kerrod, harp.

Freya's Tears - I. Iris

A lament... written in New York during the 2016 presidential election. People kept saying to me there was no way Hilary wouldn’t win... I kept saying: Brexit. So this is a meditation on the unthinkable notion that the left had lost touch with the heartlands...

INLAND SEA

Grew up in these heartlands
Fetching coal and taking heat
Ran behind the picket line, then
took the drivers seat
and when we saw the world was not
where we wanted to be
We said we'd build a bridge
Across the inland sea…

answering to no one but
ourselves… and nobody else
We thought we heard a calling then
we listened to ourselves
we amplified each code
and the cut of every key 
we thought we'd built a bridge
Across the inland sea…

but we were so far gone,
we forgot who we were
and just how much
That we believed in reverse...

it turned me into someone that i 
didn’t mean to be
it shaped us into something that we 
didn’t need to see
we’re separated now by all that we believe
we never built that bridge 
across the inland sea

Now it’s so far gone
we forgot who we were
and just how long
That we'd believed in reverse
Now it’s all so wrong
cos we forgot where we were
So just 
how long
Will it take...
Will it take...
To cross the Inland Sea?
