Reptilian Terminals

This is a song about a dehumanized human being inserting code strings on the terminal console of his computer, and convincing himself of being somehow almighty or immortal, thanks to the privileged relationship he thinks he has established with the processor. But his computer's crude response is that he's just a freaking out mortal creature...

[Computer:] lns/dev/dsp/lsd/
[Dehumanized human:] I really won’t surrender… I’m gonna live much longer
[Computer:] I got your words misplaced… I ain’t no friendly interface
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, please save us all
[Computer:] You’re terminally ill – pacmd; load module; remap sink; sink name equal mono
[Dehumanized human:] I’m gonna live forever… C’mon babe, let’s have a drink together
[Computer:] Your mind is really messed up, I’m gonna have a drink from your cup
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, please hear my call
[Computer:] You’re terminally ill – cat/proc/bus/user/usb U.S.A.
[Dehumanized human:] I’m gonna mock the devil, increase the fighting level
[Computer:] Your code is certainly wrong, so I believe your time ain’t long
[Dehumanized human:] Terminal, I guess I’m losing control

Dedicated to...you know who you are.

As always, a pleasure working with Davy. When writing these lyrics I was thinking of the song “Freedom” by George Michael. I think a lot of us have shouted the chorus out loud and interpreted the song in a very uplifting way, but when you actually read the lyrics it becomes clear that it is in fact a very serious song. Now, if only I could sing like that...

EASY FOR YOU

Can’t you see
You lost the key
You’re adrift on a restless sea
You’re not friends of Carly
Bet you think this song’s about me

It’s so easy to play the game
Easy to pin the blame
Easy to not feel any shame
Easy to stand on your fame

It’s so easy, easy for you
It’s so damn easy, too easy for you
Blinkers on, don’t you ever look back
It’s so easy, too easy for you 

It’s so easy, so easy for you
It’s so damn easy, too easy for you
Nothing to do, there’s no stopping you
It’s so easy, goddamn easy for you 

The family once yours
The friends you left behind
You think you’re strong and free
But you hide behind your Dorian Grey

The light in your eye it fades away
As you lie alone in your bed
The dreams that you gave up
The hopes that you once had

It’s so easy, easy for you
It’s so damn easy, too easy for you
Blinkers on, don’t you ever look back
It’s so easy, too easy for you 

It’s so easy, so easy for you
It’s so damn easy, too easy for you
Nothing to do, there’s no stopping you
It’s so easy, goddamn easy for you 

It’s so easy
Easy for you
It’s so easy 
Easy for you

The basic tracks for some of these songs were scattered through other music I had recorded over the last ten years.  Quarantine has given me the time to hear some of this music with fresh ears. In most instances dozens of instrument tracks were stripped away to find some forgotten core that made me nod or smile.  Then I started again.  All new recording has been done since the start of lock down and tries to put a sound on the subtle dislocation of a global disaster that is mostly (for me) expressed in my daily life as an absence, a taking away rather than a presence; a distantly felt thing.  

All tracks recorded and mixed at Shadowbear Studio.  Mastering at Black Knoll Studio.  Photo taken by Csilla Varadi.
