josedenoche So blissful to listen, even in mourning. Subtle to appreciate those who left us dearly in eternal departure. Indeed, death is beautiful when we accept it, even in music. Truly remarkable, Duncan. Favorite track: I Remember a Poem.

1.
The blessed dead In eternal rest I must resist This sickness I'm not ready yet, to join The blessed dead
2.
Isn't time the very essence of our souls? A modest chisel carving memories that fold A gentle hand to hold that walks us through this life It gives us our flaws, our strengths and our plights My memories of you From when I was just a child Sometimes I see you In the waterfalls and clouds When you flew away to the skies Your body was cremated and scattered in a fine display Of returning you to the earth The rock responsible for our life in this universe My memories of you From when I was just a child Sometimes I see you In the waterfalls and clouds
3.
Time Ran me by All those nights That we shared Were too short Out brief years Given to loss Under an icy moon Love's dark cost Sometimes I see you Those shadows that creep What I'd give To hear you speak
4.
I remember a poem Its form a blurry haze The message still rings clear Of drought and childhood days Told by a young girl Who really loved her dad He worked their farmland soil And fed them off the land And every single day He'd drive his tractor out And wait out there for rain But it would never come So one day he did the same As every day before But this time he took his gun And blew his head right off

about

An October album.

This is a collection of songs exploring ideas and personal experiences relating to loss, grief, death and ghosts.

It was written and recorded on the veranda outside my house in Carrington Heights, Durban on the evening of Monday the 23rd of October 2017.

This recording is essentially the sounds of night decorated by some gentle guitar and vocals. As I lay in bed later that same night, I peppered some of the songs with some soft synths, and on one track, a drum loop.

The cover art is by Fritz Silver Hauer, taken from a 1924 edition of the book "Der Tor Und Der Tod" by Hugo Von Hammansthal. English translations of the book carry the title "The Fool and Death", but the actual translation means "The Gate and Death".
