Kitty’s Wake - Lyrics

At Kitty’s wake we sang the old songs
And the priest was telling me about his world

I’m at the old house for the last time
All the workers at the church stop when we arrive

And everyone dies
And everyone is born with life
And everyone might find someone they want to spend their lives with
Find someone they want to spend their lives with

All the kids are playing grown up
I’m remembering that once I was a child

Some are lonesome when they’re on their own
And then some of us never get the time alone

And everyone dies
And everyone is born with life
And everyone might find someone they want to spend their lives with
Find someone they want to spend their lives with
Find someone they want to spend their lives with
Find someone they want to spend 

And I should know

Time Settles - Lyrics: 

And the decision made a hole, a vacancy in a vital inner chamber in my bones
This is what finally separated me from all my friends for whom I became skeletal

Time settles over me
Time settles over me 

And then the places I visit became the same inside world that I thought I was in
And like a fly scribbling the air I know neither the place nor what the hour is

Time settles over me
Time settles over me

And I, far off inside, was old

And now the years are closing in, each minute the last minute and following me

Ghost Boy

This is one of a series of three songs i made　with the voice of a very old grandma from Yonaguni Island, south west of Okinawa, Japan.
This tiny island is the most western part of Japan and is very close to Taiwan.
A friend went there to record his grandmother singing some traditional songs from the island and he gave me the recordings. Good intuition actually, because she passed away by the time i had finished the third song. And i don't even know her name, nor her face... just this rough, slightly harsh, salty voice. On purpose, i did not try to make her timbre more sweet sounding and i was very tempted to include some very funny moments　between the songs when she coughs like a truck driver or gets a bit upset because her　grand son continually asks her to stop moving some papers in front of the microphone　when she sings. 　＾＾
To stay true to this absolutely authentic voice, i had to limit
myself to a few elements and try to somehow, in my own "gaijin" way, stay true to the Ryukyu traditional spirit, as i feel it presently living in Okinawa, gratefully.
