Here is the 2.song from the overworked single "XWRMIX" from 2012 with a new 404 ERROR Mix!

another sneak peak

As a warm up for the RPM Challenge I have gotten into the habit of digging up old mostly forgotten songs from my carefree youth and recording new demos. This year seems to be mostly focused on a band I played in between 1997 and 2000. This song…

another piece done with Jeff Larson's Mobius looping software. The idea here was minimal akin to Robert Fripp frippertronics of many years ago.

The song arises upon the hills.

She was born dancing.

She was young once, a mere child singing in the countryside.

The dream remains, even as motherhood comes upon her.

Come, see how she dances in the fullness of her life.

Dancing for dimes, donuts and dollars. From the juke joints to the church halls to the halls of power, still she dances, even as the music grows weary.

See how they gossip and gabble. From the sidelines, they direct the dance as the young ones grow.

Life. Death. Missing children. Lost friends. Mentors gone too soon. We all live in a time of grief.

Come, see how she dies! See God through her life. See her children gather to celebrate and to mourn. Come, see how The Grey Lady lived!

The song continues, even as this movement comes to a close.

Based on an old lullaby; a young mother wonders how to protect her child
