like a last time

I won't stand in your way
Let your hatred grow
And she'll scream,
And she'll shout,
And she'll pray.
And she had a name,
Yeah she had a name.

I won't hold you back
Let your anger rise
And we'll fly,
And we'll fall,
And we'll burn.
NO ONE WILL RECALL,
NO ONE WILL RECALL.

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'LL ABANDON YOU
AND THIS IS
THE LAST TIME I'LL FORGET YOU
I WISH I COULD

Look to the stars
Let hope burn in your eyes
And we'll love and we'll hope and we'll die
All to no avail, all to no avail

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'LL ABANDON YOU
AND THIS IS
THE LAST TIME I'LL FORGET YOU
I WISH I COULD

megacephalous

This morning I received a letter from the regional office for 'Grants for the Arts' acknowledging my application for the rock opera, which is good news, but how much time was wasted over the initial (and now lost) application? At this stage it is being assessed. Then it's "considered against their priorities." Finally, they reach a decision and I get another letter, whatever happens. According to the letter a decision will be reached within six weeks, although the guidance notes said twelve. No complaints there.

The weather of late has been much more wholesome, which is brilliant: everyone seems to get along better and relax more, contrasted against the depressing overcast skylines we are only too familiar with throughout winter.

There's a whole load of uni work I should be doing right now, but I'm having a breather. A piece combining flamenco guitar with German postmodernism, the big 15 minute music-to-picture project, a history of film music class, and two more underscore jobs.

In the little spare time I have remaining, I plough on with scoring Iridescence Fantasia for Aaron, oversee any developments in the rock opera, and get comfortable with my new-found favourite book: Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion. One of its central arguments is that all organised religion conspires to pit its worshippers against each other, and I have to say I agree with that. So if there are any potential atheists out there, read it!

British/Francais car maker sings national anthem

Just a random video I saw on Youtube, singing engine.

like a megacephalite

Within these monochrome shades
Around the salt air breeze
Spectroscopy is to envelope
Of energies unharnessed

Quixotic, idealistic
Engraved in the mind
Curse your discourse
Nothing so sallow

Though calm and soothing
There's always a counterbalance
Action, reaction, cause,
Effect, yin, yang.

Teleport me away
For halcyon days

like a hyperballad

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off like:
Car-parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit, a way
To start the day

I go through this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's real early morning
No-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

And when it lands,
Will my eyes be closed or open?

I'll go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
