Bravo.... wonderful production and Mix as well.

wonderful ending....it sounds like all those "swords being beaten into plowshares"!  :-D

This is a tune especially the last 2 minutes or so your in for a treat ❤️

awesome ........a symphony of celebration!!!

A super sound. Love the dramatic strings and the brilliant guitar!

This is a song that originated with JJ, who was kind enough to share it with Ken (K2 and the Three, and the K2 and the Four), Tez (Llanpsych), and me. I have to say that this was the most fun I've had on a song in a while, mainly because it allowed me to play out my Miles Davis fantasy that I've had brewing for the past 30 or so years. I like to imagine my guitar part as a trumpet part. The reason I'm able to do this is because of JJ's amazing modal keys parts. He's playing a major against a minor riff over an uncommitted bass line. That bass line happens to be rolling along over top of some highly innovative drumming by Ken. It sounds like water falling or someone tripping down the stairs to me. Perfect! After we had it all recorded, we sent it to my man in Manchester, Tez, who painstakingly put it together into a live sounding, balanced song. This was truly a team effort and one of which I'm extraordinary proud.  We all hope you dig it, as well.

As a child growing up in Liverpool during the eighties, I witnessed first hand the struggles people had to endure because of the government’s neglect of our city. The government got away with neglecting its children, whilst Yosser and no doubt many like him had theirs taken away.

Yosser Hughes, the fictional character from Alan Bleasdale's incredible television series 'Boys from the Blackstuff', depicted a single father unable to find work whilst trying to look after his three children. 

The perception of Yosser back then, and probably still now is that he was a crazy, weak, and dangerous person. The reality though, is that Yosser’s behaviour was fuelled by many factors, not just povery, lack of work, and a broken relationship that we witness on screen.

Mental health awareness was zilch back then and most men today like Yosser find it impossible to talk about their struggles in life. This is largely due to the stigma of being perceived as weak. The only person he felt that he could open up to was a priest behind a veiled confessional box, who seemingly offered no help, support or guidance.

There will have been many traumatic events in Yossers life, all as a result of a cycle of poverty and lack of support and understanding that was generationally passed down. 

Yosser struggled on with his failing mental health, but clearly his love remained for his children. He kept looking for work, feeding his children, doing the best he could with what little he had. He like many was unfortunately doomed to succeed, and yet if he had been given help and support he could have brought his children up and been there for them. His wife, like Yosser just another casualty of the continuing cycle of victims, and sadly their children next.

Anyone struggling with their mental health should break free from the societal  stigma and speak to someone. You’re only human and can’t carry that weight alone. You are not alone and It’s ok to be vulnerable, it’s what makes us human. Just please ask someone for help!

Additionally, If you know someone who may be struggling with things, ask them if they want to talk, lend your ear, normalize their worries or concerns, and encourage them to seek help and support.

Lyrics: Children of war 


Children should grow up with love and care
Instead they suffer, it just isn’t fair
Their innocence lost , the bitterness won
The wounds of war can not made  undone

Children of war, we should be aware
the seed of hate will always be there
Cause even when the war is gone
the wounds of war cannot made undone

Lyrics:

I will give you a chance
To find out if this is romance
Or am I just wasting my time
Tell me, will you ever be mine?

You have to find out
What you want
What this is about
So make up your mind now
If you don't love me, ill go 

What do you do?
What do you do?
what do you do?
What do you do?

mmm

So make up your mind now
If you don't love me ,ill go

I aint gonna crawl
Pride and stubbornness  
I got it all
You will only get one chance
To find out 
If this is romance

what do you do?
What do you do?
what do you do?
What do you do?

mmm

You will only get one chance
To find out
If this is romance..

What do You Do?  (Original)

A-Syzygy

method: field recordings, virtual instruments, voice
narration: some of the dirty secrets of self-awareness in relationships ... and one way of dealing with them; this also is an exercise in recovering the integrity of poems that have been belittled, willfully ignored  and poked fun at quite some time ago
image: actually, the device depicted - called a multimemo - before the image was distorted, that is - is included in creating this soundscape, which was somewhat inspired by and refers to elo-covers ....  although those are quite different .... the cover for an album called 'out of the blue'' and the  cover for an album  a friend understood to mean "disco - very". He was a genius musician who already earned an entertainer's income while going to middle school in the 1970s  ... thanks to his hammond and his talent. Only in later years did I understand myself....  that the syncretism of 'disc', 'discovery' and the images of ali baba and a uap is an astonishing feat in itself. copyright jo richter.

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in 'halb loh, halb zunder, halb glanz):

als sie nicht mehr logen
fühlten sie sich bloß
wie tiere ohne fell
wie fische ohne meer
ein jeder wind blies kalt
im ozean aus luft

sie rezitierten laut
ihr alphabet der furcht
wieder und wieder
im hoffen auf götter
der himmel blieb leer

bis auf zwei vögel

die kreisten auf suche
nach beute und fleisch

interlinear translation; apart from two birds // when they had stopped lying / they felt as naked / as animals without fur / as fish without the seas / and each kind of wind / blew with a chill in the airy oceans // they chanted out loud / their alphabet of fear / again and again / hoping for gods / when heavens remained empty // apart from two birds // circling, looking / for fresh prey and meat //

bis auf zwei vögel
