Based on a true story. If you listen closely, you can hear me drop a half note over the course of the song. Apparently, I flounder without a pitch reference.

At this point I say a lot of thanks to Funspreader for the really great remix of 'Buona Notte'.

Once upon a time In a land far away I wrote something funny here But not today

hey boy, the waters calm and glassy hey boy, the wind has died away hey boy, the sun is up and rising it's another, another perfect day hey boy, better grab your pail and shovel hey boy, and build your castle high hey boy, don't forget the moat…

what is this darkness now, blurring out my eyes can I hold this feeling before I'm lost in the night holding on together searching through the gloom who am I to blame now that we have lost the light not the sky, falling, not the moon, again not…

tall drink of water, short blonde hair flash you a smile like she just don't care sharp as a razor as right as rain ask me again and I'll tell you the same don’t forget her name, Melissa boys come running when she's around then she crushes a cigarette…

no I won't eat of the body, no I won't drink of the blood no I won't gather at the river, no I won't carry your burden no I won't bath in the glory, no I won't bath in the glory no I won't beg for forgiveness yes you will no I won't handle a serpent…

This was a 'bonus free download' from Berlin Dance Works/Stretch and Breathe Two (last year's work). More worldly dub, mixed on the fly, old style.

This is from Anima 91, a free download release that mostly featured re-workings of older tunes of mine... this was not 'old', but written in 2006 when it was recorded. It relates experiences I had in West Berlin during the 80s.

I'd just moved house, needed time off, sat with workstation and burbled a bit, ended up on Anima 91.

Music recorded 2005 then revisited (remixed?) for a dance score 2007 -- this is an excerpt from the middle section.

Who would’ve thought that the last 10 seconds would take me like an hour and a truck load of takes? And thank you Logic multi-take feature for allowing me to indulge so much time in something that was completely tangential to the song.
