a flemish visitor

two popular songs for the youth of america, reinterpreted through the luminous hands of jan van eyck, and later that evening envisioned by ingenting kollektiva

these two songs originally conceived in february 2013 (i might be dreaming) and august 2012 (i am close to the edge), and modified slightly for this release (mainly i might be dreaming)

i might be dreaming - mutilated cover of a song by a young man from aberdeen who died quite young

i am close to the edge - destroyed cover of a song by a couple from duluth

(sounds like dirt xxiii) you seem close to the edge

 
if i could just make it stop
i could tell the whole world
to get out of the way
if i could just make it stop
if i could just make it stop
breaking my heart
get out of the way
if i could just make it stop

(drone)

you seem close to the edge
i'm at the end of my rope
the rope is starting to thread
i'm trying to keep my hold

you say i'm something i'm not
but i'm not what i seem
get my back off the wall
if i could just make it stop
if i could just make it stop
i could tell the hole world
to get out of the way
if i could just make it stop
if i could just make it stop
breaking my heart
get out of the way
if i could just make it stop
if i could just make it stop

(drone)

now i'm looking up from a ten foot hole
see nothing but blue sky, shining on my soul
as i enter the court and untwist the knot
we could get where we're going,
if i could just make it stop
if i could just make it stop
i could tell the whole world
to get out of the way
if i could just make it stop
if i could just make it stop
from breaking my heart
get out of the way
if i could just make it stop
if i could just make it stop

(drone)

(melancholia by low and m swiezynski)

concert sans orchestre (scenes from childhood)

the pain is easy
if you're hearing screams
come back child, come back
