[-empyre-] today's work with Luke Damrosch, Azure Carter

[Alan Sondheim]

Recording with Azure Carter, Luke Damrosch


Preparations for a 2017 CD release with Public Eyesore

Borrowers is prototype; other vocal tracks will be added.
The text, I think, is relevant in the current political
climate, as is the music. An earlier complete version
is at http://www.alansondheim.org/borrowers.mp3 .

BORROWERS

On borrowed space/Im making and making
I will lose this space/I will take my tiny house with me
Where will my tiny house go/where will my tiny house go
I am a snail in a shell/my shell is memory
My shell goes/where my memory follows
It was never my land/it was never my time

Im making on borrowed time
Im living on borrowed time
Im making on borrowed time
Im living on borrowed time

In my wandering/I have some tiny things
A form of capital/in a borrowed world
A political economy/to be sure
With borrowing/and small return
Oh where will/I set my tiny things
Oh where will/I set my tiny things

Im making on borrowed time
Im living on borrowed time
Im making on borrowed time
Im living on borrowed time

I shall walk/among my things
And my things/shall walk among me
May I be a thing/among things
And may things/be among me
A carapace/of things
New Jerusalems/and Shangri-las

Im making on borrowed time
Im living on borrowed time
Im making on borrowed time
Im living on borrowed time

Who will/preserve them now
Who will/keep them forever
Soon/I will lose this space
I will take/my tiny house with me
Where will/my tiny house go
Oh where will/my tiny house go

Im making on borrowed time
Im living on borrowed time
Im making on borrowed time
Im living on borrowed time

Im making and making
Im living and living
Im making and making
Im living and living
