HYSTERIA
poem by: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)
As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved
in her laughter and being part of it, until her
teeth were only accidental stars with a talent
for squad-drill. I was drawn in by short gasps…
Sketch of the ripple of unseen muscles. Tea for two who wish to take their tea in the garden. Concentrating of attention with careful
subtlety to this end. I like that.

Ha! Very clever! I love the bass lick and vox... and I'm very proud to be a part of your first accoustic recording of cornet, flute and harmonica. Historic indeed.
And what an interesting poem. I read up on it. Some highlights:
With "Hysteria" Eliot created an unconventional poetic diction by using verse rhythms that were based on the cadences of speech rather than poetic structure.
It is possible that the laughter may be a product of the woman’s ‘hysteria’, but it is more likely that the title applies to the narrator’s reaction to that laughter. “As she laughed,†he begins, “I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter and being part of it.†He begins to feel as though he has physically become the laughter he is observing."
"The narrator’s goal is to collect pieces of the details he was able to capture in order to rebuild a coherent reality. The reader is left somewhat skeptical of this goal, however, because of the narrator’s doubtful language. “If†the woman’s breasts “could†be stopped, “some†fragments “might†be collected. Each line contains two distinct words of uncertainty, and by the end we are not sure that the narrator’s hysteria can be cured.

As can happen when you listen to sometime a million times over your mind and ears start accepting things that later you wish you had not. This is a (much better imho) revision thanks to the urging of Gary from the music by computer list.

For the daughters of two of my favorite people.
Bonfire Lullaby
Dannah studies my hands while I play
With heavy eyes at the end of a runaround day
Fading fast ‘neath a summer night’s sky
No need to wonder why
Time stands still in her…
Keith - this is lovely - not only the song / guitar / vocals but also the sentiment and the slice of real life. This is a definition of beauty and serenity and... Love.

Remastered from 4 track circa 1987. The backing track was shoved into one track (drum machine, casio CZ-101 synthesizer bass, rythmn guitar) - the vocals are buried because I wrote a song that was way way too high for my range. The backwards-ness…

Kick ass collab gents. Fine work chris and norm! FAV'D Love the additions to the track! The horns work great.
What a vocal. Go for it Chris!
Crazily spooky! Totally envy your sustained notes. Damn.
DL'd for later :)
I like the long held out vocals combined with the scales your using....very somber, and droning feel. Very off-tune...but yet very much in-tune...
Less then one minute in and i already love it.
very nice,, as always i am amazed by your art
Beatifully sick! I like it very much!!
Wow, stirring stuff!
Yes indeed cool!
Ummm just blown away!
Cool story about Majnun. Very pro sounding production. Horns sound great to me.
yes........very chaotic and interesting all at the same time,,,,,

Did you two find the mushrooms? :-)
Your vocals keep getting better and more "Reg" with every song - its great to listen to !
I think Steve Hackett is very under appreciated. I can't understand why.
great production and concept - I'm with Bethan on this.
I like this version a lot! Nice key work - great vocals as well!
wow! very cool - it sounds a lot like that picture especially towards the end.
I thought you said you couldn't play guitar! This is an awesome cover!! We need to do the Joe Cocker version "With a Little Help From my Friends"!
awesomeness!! Reg I love your inner rock star!
very nice - alien sounds - it should be the world anthem for the spacer world Aurora in Asimov's I Robot series.
can I set this to music?? This awesome!
I like the effects! nice groove
I do like the sound of the guitar lead 3-ish quite a lot.
Enjoyed - I like your progressive rock / electro sound here.
excellent cover.
