Beginning to end

Dans la rubrique "Que sont-ils devenus?", voici des nouvelles de Jordan Geiger (Minus Story, Hospital Ships), à qui j'écrivais initialement pour obtenir les paroles d'une chanson. Bien sûr, si vous ignoriez son existence jusqu'alors, ceci ne vous intéressera guère. Je publierai cependant d'ici peu un parcours d'écoute de sa discographie, ce qui permettra aux novices de s'initier à sa musique.

Voici une partie de ce qu'il m'écrit, avec, tenez-vous bien, du contenu audio "Minus Story" à côté duquel j'étais passé, puisque publié sur un bandcamp alternatif !

As you see from my website, I've been focusing on making art. I returned to college to finish my undergraduate degree last year, and this coming fall I'm going to be starting my graduate studies for visual arts. [...]

Although I've made a fair amount of music since then, I haven't had the drive to release it or play shows I used to have for a number of reasons. Here's a bit of the more experimental music I've made: https://joriya.bandcamp.com/

My favorite is probably "The Land Of Dreams" (I was very into synthesizers at the time, and still am) and "The Soul Of A Whale Sessions" is a Minus Story E.P. that we began but never finished, for a number of personal and financial reasons. [...]

Below you'll find the lyrics to Joyless, Joyless [...]

We’re driving the voice out,

We’re driving the ghosts out

We’re so tired we’re making something from nothing

And I can’t believe that, but you’ll never see it

It’s joyless, it’s joyless,

it’s joyless, it’s joyless.

We’re driving the voice out,

We’re driving the ghosts out

We’re so tired we’re making something from nothing

You’re kicking and screaming, the feeling is fleeting

We’re so tired, the beating,

The captain is bleeding.

Say it again,

I give and I give,

It’s joyless, joyless,

The place we’re at.

It’s joyless, joyless,

Joyless, joyless, 

Joyless, joyless

Joyless joyless.

Say it again,

Beginning to end,

It’s joyless, joyless,

The place we’re in.

Joyless, joyless,

The state we’re in.

It’s joyless, joyless,

It’s joyless, joyless,

The place we’re at. 

Joyless, Joyless
