SONG AND VISION

Once upon a time I looked at myself in a mirror. I didn't like what I saw, so I wrote a new persona that I could wear with pride, with love, with music, and laughter, and then I looked again: it was alright (it wasn't great), it was alright: I was then ready to share my vision. 

I read the books, I listened to the words that mattered, I watched the films, I lived hand to mouth: I didn't like it, but then I had the experience, the songs, the stories; they were just waiting for the right beats, for the rights sounds: they came along, and then perhaps a melody. I took good note of all those things.

Just an idea, just an emotion: a phrase, a turn of phrase, a clear devotion, a story that you heard on the cue of the supermarket - or you just made it up - who knows?, or 50/50. It doesn't matter. 

Automatic writing. Automatic silence. A bit of this, a bit of that. A pinch of salt, an antidote to so much crap.

One never wins or loses: one only keeps a record of daily events, and then you sing them to yourself and live and love, and keep on singing, and put together your song: electro-acoustica, vernacular. Chanson electroacoustique vernaculaire. Canción electroacústica vernácula.

Sing your life: others have done it before you but no one at all will do it for you. Why don't you? Why don't you? You don't know what you're singing, but you know that no one can ever do it like only you can. You just don't hear those words at school or at the office, at college or at the workshop. You just don't hear those words on the telly or on your gizmo feeds, and so you sing them out: you chance it, you fuck it, but then you sing it, and then you chance it, again, and then you fuck it, again, and then you chance it, and love it: before you know it, you got the words, there is no stopping: it only takes two words, one rhyme, and that's it, that's it, this is your song: electro-acoustica, vernacular. Chanson electroacoustique vernaculaire. Canción electroacústica vernácula.

Let there be sound, and let there be vision. Let there be change, and revolution in your song.
