bad brothers’ blood

I stand east searching west
All I should die for seems second best
Palace strong foundation weak
Feeling all dirty and thinking all cheap

There is nothing in life that I wanted
What I need lies in hills far away
But the means of escape is too haunted
So here I stay

Am I more than just friend?
I find it confusing the signals you send
Maybe not even friend just someone I know
Whilst like a love sick school boy my feelings grow

And there's nothing here I would ask for
But somethings are too hard to explain
I'm confused, I'm a coward and I want more
But here I stay

There's nothing in my life that I needed
Standing east but lusting for west
It sounds selfish but I feel cheated
With second best

Searching West

each and every star
is brought to light –
how cold

Here’s another poem by Tan Taigi, also author of the inspiring haiku we posted last week. The poem we publish today was translated by Michael Haldane.

Tan Taigi was a haiku poet of the Edo period. He was a wanderer for most of his life and admired by Yosa Buson for his ability to transcend his eclectic and unconventional lifestyle with sublime poetry.

Brought To Light (Naviar Haiku 380)

Written, Arranged, and Recorded by Amy O’Bryan

So much to consider as a summer breeze fills up the car – I’m driving all alone in darkness, into night, on my way home - Feeling music move through me and all my thoughts are scattered – As the wind shifts in direction, nothing seems to matter now – I’ve been here so many times on this darkened road alone – There is nothing I can say – There is nothing I can do to change the outcome – I fear a mistake is on its way, without a damn thing I can do or say – As I glance over, trees are swaying in the breeze – As I consider what is true, blank space violates humid dew – If I were to ever see you, if there comes a day or time – There is nothing I can say – There is nothing I can do – Game Over – I Lose

White Trash Blood

Foreboding

Recorded in November. Mistakes etc. included. 
It's an old English tune but my arrangement here is a little more generic of these isles - there's an English style penny whistle and an Irish style tin whistle in the mix.

Drive the Cold Winter Away

1. Trying to get some of the musical noise in my head into the outside world. 
2. Still learning about sound construction and production (and hopefully always will be).
3. If you hear unrealized potential in any of my postings, do please get in touch as I'd like to explore doing some collaboration.
