I created this piece to accompany a play that my uncle, Terrence Sherman, is working on. The lyrics are by his friend Dwight Stevers (dwight_poet). The music is by Ivan Chew (I just cut it up to make it work for this). A huge thank you to Ivan for contributing such fantastic CC-BY instrumentals to the Commons. Thank you, also, to Dwight- working with your words was inspiring. Hope you dig!
VOCAL STEMS. WORDS (by Dwight Stevers)- Memory plays such tricks on us Strange images, strange fruit Hanging on us like albatross necklaces Hanging us up, adorning us Prisms of warped light, light speed emotions Dangling in eternity, coloring the present Presenting opportunities Inspiring false identity Go in, go deep The reality, the finality Give light, give truth Rise up and remember Go In, go deep Rise up and remember The timeless waste of innocence Boring burrowing birth… again Pull me down, give the gift Send me wailing into life Primal scream of creative youth Questions and knowing all the answers I saw the finger pointing down Below the ground Go in, go deep The reality, the finality Give light, give truth Rise up and remember Go In, go deep Rise up and remember Hanging on every word, ever song We sang of longing and knowing We sang for the souls, the solid ones The dimensional shift, the shit The crazy contraptions we live in The blood and bones and breath We sang for animal nature, natural beauty The drawings, the artwork The drawing in of air, the working draft The endless work and toil and pain Go in, go deep The reality, the finality Give light, give truth Rise up and remember Go In, go deep Rise up and remember Theories of strings and threads and beds We lie down, a final resting place The earth from death to birth No way out, no exit Once you’re in you’re really in it Go the distance, the distant fingers Pointing down into the ground Below the earth, before the birth Standing on the shoulders The boulders, the elders The limitless starry dimensions Of pointless lives Pointing to you, to me To now.
