NOTES
Conceptually the song works on two levels. 

The literal meaning involves two descriptions, one of escaping a bad place by boat only to be returned by bad weather, and then on returning, witnessing the imprisonment of friends. These descriptions signify the difficulty of escape.

The second level is metaphorical. The existentialist philosopher Albert Camus famously explained the absurdity of life’s existence by comparing it with the situation depicted in the Greek tragedy, The myth of Sisyphus. Sisyphus is condemned to the meaningless task – like that of repetitive work – of pushing a boulder up a hill only for it to roll down to the bottom, and for the process to start over again, ad infinitum. Sisyphus always ends up back where he was before. Camus speculates that even though, like all of human life, the predicament is crazy and horrifying, Sisyphus defies his situation and presses on. “One must imagine Sisyphus happy” says Camus.

I like Camus’s approach to absurdity: to confront it with sanguine, upbeat, defiance.

LYRICS
Suddenly life changes
Suddenly we’re gone
Lining up with strangers
To travel far away
We are uncertain (all of our lives)
Of what in hell we might find
Oh!
Suddenly life's dangers
Suddenly are here
Say goodbye to all of our friends
We sail.
We sail.
~
The wind, it blows
It was howling
The moon so full
It was rising, pointing
Towards a place of hope
~
There’s only so much we can take
Then suddenly the storm clouds break
Riding the waves to shore
Seems we’ve been here before
Back where we were before
~
Suddenly life changes
Suddenly we’re home
Lining up with neighbors
To do it all again
We’re very certain
Of what in hell we will find
Oh!
Suddenly life’s dangers
Suddenly so clear
Say hello to all of our friends
In jail
In jail
~
The walls
So high
They were
Scraping scraping
The sky
So grey
It was 
Falling, warning
‘gainst a taste of hope
There’s only so much we can take
Before we crash these walls and break
Out of the blue once more
Seems we’ve been here before
Back where we were before.

Where We Are, There We Are

The Strange World Of Planet X

After the miasma dissipates, mysterious figures begin to emerge. From a distance, the field of souls appear to be joyful and dance in a uniform formation. Their dance is upbeat and lively. It is mesmerizing to behold. They appear almost elusive, yet they harbor darker motives. They want others to follow down their path…

Finished with my woman …

Beat me with a big stick 
Trying all your usual tricks 
That ain’t gonna cut it no no 
That ain’t gonna cut it no more
Frozen in your headlights 
Helpless in your dead lights 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love
Blow me up with a bomb bomb bomb
Shoulder for my tears 
Get to know me inside out
Then attack me with my fears

Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 

So I went down to the river
The witch told me the cure
I must spit when I say your name
Throw your picture into the flames 
Cross myself 1 2 3 times
Salt the earth where you stood beside me 
Then I cut - cut you out 
Once upon a time I was cursed by love

You thought you could fool me
Thought you controlled me
Thought you could take me 
Thought you could keep me
Underestimated me
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 
Now it’s you in my head lights 
And it’s you in my dead lights 
Finished with my woman 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love

Interference by Thom Yorke (my cover)

Funk meets the Middle Ages

method: dr 01s; voice; vst (bells'n'chimes); the cover image shows part of the 'ultimate distortion engine' consisting of one exciter module, one piezo pickup (pledging for mono today) and one slate plate (it could be any other more or less sonically transducive material, though, including shaped materials like springs, material with other material spread out on top, etc .... which renders this engine ultimately versatile, incl all the processes feasable during amplification, eqing and gainstaging); white tape pedal;  vst (balalaika): more voices and then some; several eqing instruments (including CS-5 compressor pedal)
narration: 'we' did start the fire, by the way, and keep rekindling it

poem / copyright jo richter:

[hey you - can you smell it as well - must've been here just a moment ago]

nunamnir was here who tied the first knot
enkidu was here before he was tamed
vaidehi was here who was and was not
sharada was here who names and is named

heraclitus was here, a delian diver's lot
helen was here, booty to be blamed
archimedes was here, circles mark the spot
turanna was here ruling unashamed

heimdallr was here, threshold polyglot
boudica was here, rapists will be maimed
the morrigan was here, kin to thrive, foes to rot
mimir was here, as well he claimed 

il duce was here, traitors will be shot
de beauvoir was here, l'autre appears ingrained
ray kurzweil was here, future is a reboot robot
three sisters were here, looked on and remained

was here
