______________________

Sometimes, being your friend..
Makes me feel like I’m trapped
In a ferris wheel factory
oh we’ll have fun
what else could we do? 
one more to go, one more run around

yeah I hypnotize you
just like a ferris wheel
one more look, one more spin around

hey stranger
why don’t you lay a kiss on me?
this one time
why don’t you lay a kiss on me?
one more kiss, one more roll around
this one time
don’t you wanna dance with me?
one more dance, one more spin around!

It’s not a trick, I know you bewitch me
if you’re a witch, let me be your broomstick
get a little closer
why don’t ya cast a spell on me?
one more to go, one more run around



hey stranger, c’mon share a secret with me
one more secret, one more screw around

this one try
turn my eyes to the other side
one more try - one more turn around
sometimes...
being in love makes me feel
like I’m trapped in a ferris wheel factory

oh my pet
behaves like a ferris wheel
o0o0o0o0o0o
one more walk, one more run around

oh sweet sun, won’t you roll around on me?
oh sweet shiny sun, won’t you give warmth to me?
one more day, one more roll around
someday your heat will be gone
and we’ll be on the other side
one more roll, one more spin around

our love - it’s like howling at the sun
one more go, one more run around

The opening song of the art rock concept album To Be Nothing, available on digital and CD at https://elarikeasley.bandcamp.com/album/to-be-nothing

Lyrics:
Life’s a dreadful time
man has failed to live.
Will it be easy to be
talked of when no one cares.
He would rather die
than live another day.

Why wake up when you have nothing to expect?
Why wake up when no one’s waiting there for you?
Why not just wait until the body is no more?
Why wake up when the world wouldn’t mind your death?

You can want anything,
You can’t have everything.
You can try many things,
You can’t do anything.
No way to be someone,
No way to do something
that would mean a thing,
that would change the world.

To Be Nothing

Why Wake Up?

A recent astronomical event was, quite obviously, at the root of this odd musical piece. I accidentally came across a few posts on the social networks conveying a certain degree of confidence in this astrological occurrence, but I honestly couldn't afford to share their flaunted optimism. I couldn't recall any idyllic connection between Jupiter and Saturn, so I thought that a recording of an acapella singing performed by my wife about 10 years ago might have best fit my initial sonic atmosphere. It was an improvised sung rendition of an Arabic poem composed by Said Bin Ahmad al-Busaidi (d. 1803, feel free to check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Said_bin_Ahmad for a short bio) that seems to have been used as lyrics by several modern Middle Eastern artists. I thought of it as a suitable fictional outlet for a broken hearted Saturn.
On the other hand, my everyday life subsequently offered me a chance to observe this "great" conjunction from a socio-political perspective in the country where I'm living in. I had the opportunity to take a field audio recording of a riot that took place not so far from my home in mid-January (feel free to check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dI90RFsEF4 for a short account of the current situation), and I thought that it would perfectly give expression both to the disappointment of local people against those who have been managing political power since the so-called Arab Spring in 2011 and to the sympathetic, balanced reaction shown by law enforcement and the government itself. In order to sound politically correct, I thought it was appropriate to give voice to the establishment as well, to "Jupiter" if you like, so I googled around and found an awesome video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpJVq78A4Y0) starring the guy who's been behind the scenes of this brilliant democratic experience in Northern Africa during the last 10 years. I extrapolated a few audio samples from his declarations and used them in the first sequence of this piece.
I finally added a few instrumental and vocal parts, then I processed all of the audio recordings through a heavy, meticulous sound design work. Hope you'll appreciate the result.
EDIT: One year after its original release, I created a video for this track… You might like to check it out at https://youtu.be/0c9fyvCDqiU

LYRICS (a partial rework of Said Bin Ahmad al-Busaidi's "Ya Man Hawah" ; sadly this text field doesn't seem to properly support RTL scripts, but I guess most of the listeners will only read the English translation I provided below):

JUPITER:

We try to avoid any sort of exclusion.
We opt for the dialogue... Consensus.
We faced many problems.
All our policies are based on the notion of consensus.
I don't deal with "if", I deal with reality.
We try to go to the consensus.
There isn't any paradox.
To avoid any sort of extremism, democracy is the solution.
We need international cooperation, regime cooperation, development, democracy, dialogue, consensus... Consensus.

SATURN:

يا من هواه
أعزه وأذلنـــي
كيف السبيل إلى وصالـــــك دلني
أنت الذي حلفتني
حلفتني وحلفت لي
وحلفت أنك لا تخون وخنتني
فلأدعين عليك في غسق الدجى
يـبـلـيـك ربي كـمــا أبلـيـتـنــي

Oh you who love
Oh you who passionately love
May you be cherished and may I be humbled
Show me how shall I ever find the way to get back to you
It was you who made me swear, and you swore to me
You swore you weren't going to betray me, but you cheated on me
So I'll pray against you in the dark of the night
May the Lord afflict you just like you afflicted me
