Downy bearded isolation

I was listening to Will Oldham,
And he sings this line,
'When you live like a hermit
You forget what you know',
And I am once more in constant solitude,
And I'm remembering more now than ever.
There's a lot to be said for downy bearded isolation.

I was listening to the voices
That offuscate my head;
And I live still like a hermit,
And drink like the snow,
And my thoughts scatter like birds upon the hill.
But if I disappear forever,
There's something I have left
For those with ears to listen or the heart to care.
Yes, 'You will miss me when I burn'

It's Good To Be Alive

On avait laissé Misophone en bad. Place à un optimisme sans faille. A lire ou écouter chaque matin s'il le faut. A faire partager, aussi

It's good to be alive

This sleep has been too long
the lidless life in this domain
has left me far from strong
but once again I see the eyes
Of young girls in the street

I am not here, I have not died
There's victory in defeat
And every morning now the door is open
And in the corner I adore
The widow left unbroken
And all is well and so it will
Remain for many years now
And though the days will not sit still
At least the flowers heads bow
Tea cup lungs are heaving
Misplaced loves are now ungrieving
And I am free from guilt
And I am free from guilt

Where has it all gone, all the beautiful music of our grandparents? it died with them, that's where it went... (Kning Disk, 2007)

Deluded and obscene

Got a sense of an overactive imagination
And a rather lonely girl
And someone I'd never know,
Sitting in her bedroom
With a neat pile of dolls and bears
With ridiculous names
The days pass unbearably
Another wee, another year
Wasting so much of what I'm given
A lack of desire to live
Does not amout to a need to die
And I have so much i want to live for
But nothing I would die for
I am a pitiful selfish and obscene
Ridiculous emasculated deluded and obscene
