When Brian first played me “If The Stars Are The Dreams Of Spacemen“, I was absolutely stunned by its brilliance.  Of course, having grown up with his songwriting, I was already a huge fan of everything he wrote but did think there was something extra special about the song.  Knowing him as a brother, I saw just how revealing it was about his often uneasy relationship with the world and his place in the scheme of things.  The closing line, “Who am I?” said it all for me.  It was a song to which I often returned, particularly after he was gone.

Eventually, I arrived at the idea of writing something that in some way linked to his original composition but told the story from my own perspective.  Not wanting to ride on his coat tails in any way, I felt very uneasy about doing this, so decided it was something I would do purely for myself.  It took many long months to come up with something I thought would be a worthy companion piece but the more I wrote, the more the idea took on a strength and shape of it’s own until I had fashioned it exactly as I wanted it to be.

It took quite some time to summon up the courage to play it to Gary, thinking if he thought it was any good, I might take it further.  When he said that he thought that it was one of the best songs I’d ever written (something I really didn’t expect) and that I should send it to Hans, it had an overwhelmingly emotional effect on me, particularly since I was very doubtful about playing it to anyone else at all.

Hans always has a way of emotionally inhabiting the songs I write and the arrangement he produced was exactly what I felt the song needed.  There’s no doubt in my mind that if he and Bri had ever played together, they’d have created musical dreams that would spread throughout the universe.

Today, the 22 August 2021, marks the ninth anniversary of Bri’s death and I can only hope that this song does him justice.  We miss him more than ever.  (Terry Reeves)

How can I write a song about the stellar writer?
Breathing music in space, helping bands to be tighter
A Bishop’s marriage of schemes inside your wigwam 
As the cluster of stars reflects only you as it can 

CHORUS 
If the stars are the Dreams of spacemen
Floating around by imagination 
Adjusting scope to seat the nightmares 
A magnetic field of dreams 
With musical chairs

A spaceman in search of the perfect mate
Floating through Galaxies more dreams of love can’t wait
Loving tears never seen behind a facial shield 
As the Milky Way melts revealing what Kepler’s laws might yield 

CHORUS 

I could never write the songs of stars
With your heart so full of love from here to Mars
The spaceship framed inside a past that lingers
Touching gravity with your skill of voice and fingers

CHORUS 

Isolations ending showing fusions of greatness 
Will never explain your skill of silence and lateness 
Knowing love as you do 
Making love a sad fool
I will never fully know who you are

Another fun collaboration with @dough-factory !

We came up with the quirky beat and then went searching for some samples that would fit. I immediately thought of the Big Lebowski. But we'd also been talking about the Netflix show Midnight Gospel so we pulled in some clips from that as well.

I'm hoping this is all fair use (this track and this account are not monetized in any way!)

Vacillantia

Transitus Labens

Dans la forêt il y a des pins qui brûlent
Dans a forêt il y a des pins qui se font dévorer par le scolyte
Dans la forêt il y a des gens qui se battent pour finir de les arracher
Dans la forêt il y en a des gens qui luttent pour les en empêcher

La forêt usagère de La Teste-de-Buch dans les Landes a brûlé ainsi qu'une bonne partie des pinèdes aux alentours durant les incendies de l'été 2022. Depuis, tout est chamboulé pour les habitants, car c'est un lieu qu'ils arpentent depuis des centaines d'années, dont ils utilisent les ressources et prennent soin comme un membre de leur communauté, en regard des droits ancestraux qu'ils ont dessus. Mais les grands forestiers procèdent à des coupes rases, et la lutte administrative et sociale s'organise. Le documentaire d'Alexandre Cartigny retrace cette histoire contemporaine aux travers du portrait et des témoignages des habitants.

La BO que nous avons composé à cette occasion, Thomas Baudoin et moi même, tire sa matière des instruments des Landes, comme la boha, les rhombes, la conque et les tulhères (sortes de trompes en écorce), mais aussi du son du feu, des vibrations des tronçonneuses, et des pépiements des oiseaux. L'énergie de la musique a pris naissance dans ce que nous ont inspiré les images et la BO du film Sirāt, où le désert qui y figure fait écho à cette forêt landaise en péril. Une question de temps ? une seule certitude au bout du compte, ici la forêt reviendra.

" Aci la seuva tornarà" est le thème principal de cette BO, thème dont on a décliné ensuite tous les éléments pour fabriquer la musique du documentaire.

Thomas Baudoin : chant, boha, rhombes, tuyau harmonique, bols, poutres
Matèu Baudoin : chant, clarinette, Arp 2600, programmations, synthés, drones
