Histoire d'une invention ---- Chap. 3 - 2 (Le hameau)

by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

I felt my heart grow heavy,
My body growing weak,
I found a place to rest,
Where my bones could creak.
I listened to the rain,
On the old tin roof,
I missed you all my friends,
Now isn't that the truth?

I'm not the same man,
I thought I was last night, 
Now my life seems full of ghosts.
And the things that hurt the most.
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes. 

I know the years that passed,
Weren't so good for me,
I wished for better times,
In your company.
I thought you always knew,
I didn't think to ask,
Now I'm here all alone,
My time is fading fast.
I have my reservations,
And sometimes I feel blue,
But I have to give up some day,
If I'm going to pull through. 
I'll face down my accuser,
My reflection in the hall. 
I don't know if it means a lot? 
Or anything at all? 

I've been away for so long,
I admit that I was wrong
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.

However far I travel,
It's never far enough. 
I sort of got lost,
In the midst of all that stuff.
In awkward conversations,
Where nothing's ever said. 
To cold nights spent alone,
Where the heart is never fed.
I felt my heart grow heavy,
My body growing weak,
I found a place to rest,
Where my bones could creak.
I listened to the rain,
On the old tin roof,
I missed you all my friends,
Now isn't that the truth?

I'm not the same man,
I thought I was last night.
Now my life seems full of ghosts,
And the things that hurt the most.
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes.

A Slight Case Of Morning Agony

Cape Horn

This is a largely improvisational track recorded sometime in the mid 1990s. All I had was a loose motif bassline with an echo harp type of sound I created myself. ...  I riffed on the  bassline, and then I improvised the rest of the track around that, layering with various sounds I also developed myself and no sequencer involved (hence the loose structure. Lol! 😅). 

I had no effects units, so I literally had to program reverb and delay effects into the sounds, not to mention I programmed velocity sensitivity on a couple of sounds. All I had at the time was a Casio CZ-101 and a Casio CZ-5000, and recorded it on a 16-track tape machine (I think it was a Tascam).  

This track really showcases how incredibly versatile the massively underrated Casio CZ series could be with a bit of judicious programming.  

Nonetheless, you can hear the throughline from what I was doing back then in many of my more recent tracks, which are largely composed in DAWs with Virtual Synths and Effects nowadays (with the occasional touch from my vintage hardware synths including a Yamaha CS1x).  

As I said, it was recorded sometime in the mid to late 1990s. The best copy I could find was dated October 1998, but I know I recorded it before then. ... The fidelity of the recording is low, due to the fact that I recorded it on tape to begin with, and over time, the tape has degraded a bit.

Broken Souls

Pascal Hennig - Broken Souls

I am curious how my, or anybody's, musical output is altered by actual life. Usually, well, at least over the last bunch of years that I've been posting here. I can't really say because both the music and life are in a constant flow. This last year though the music and my normal day to day life were somewhat interrupted. I seem to be settling into a familiar but slightly different approach. Although most of my curiosities remain. This piece is really a reframing. That's what I like to call it when I cover a song by someone but keep the original vocal. In this case Ian Stephen. As a change of pace I am actually playing, as a bassist with Mr. Stephen. I must say it delights me that for once I can share one of my musical portraits with the subject. It's also fun to ponder why I've changed, in my own music, what I have.
