musicology #0662 Paul Weller – Where’er You Go

aSongforCon #1

SO much ‘water’ has flowed under my ‘bridge’ since the previous cut. My daughter Constance has passed through this earthly plane, she had just turned 19 years of age.

Words could never do the youngblood justice and i find myself (often) with nothing to say so I reached back into the library pulled out ‘the Prophet’ and read/adapted this.

“Let not the waves of the sea separate us now, and the years you have spent in our midst become a memory.

You have walked among us a spirit, and your shadow has been a light upon our faces.

MUCH have we loved you.

And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

And now your ship has come, and you must needs go.

DEEP is your longing for the land of your memories and the dwelling place of your greater desires; and our love would not bind you nor OUR needs hold you.

Yet this we ask ere you leave us, that you speak to us and give us of your truth.

And we will give it unto our children, and they unto their children, and it shall not perish…”

Rest In Peace Kohzu..ALWAYS in my Heart, Mind and Soul.

musicology #424

noExcuses #1

(Paul Weller – Cold Moments)

Tried countless times over the last few weeks to get back in themusicologist saddle and every time something changes, (such is life), so what is themusicologist going to DO about it. Stop thinking and start throwing em down, day to day without thought or reflection..cuts that are rocking my soul. musicology style, without pages of the incessant internal dialogue that flows in, out and through this current fucked up mess of the life that I take FULL responsibility…..and with authenticity offer NO EXCUSES for

First up it’s a cut from one my long time trusted guides Paul Weller, who has been there for themusicologist since the late 70’s around the time I entered what is sometimes referred to as the ninth year transition. Borrowed from his No 1 album from last year 22 Dreams..also featuring among others the all round talents of Steve Craddock and the drumming expertise of Steve White.

Listen keenly to the RIDE and if you refuse, (for whatever reason), then step the fuck off this musicology train and perhaps get back on board somewhere down the line. I have no intentions other than to share the way I feel which is always in flux and has no meaning other than in the here and now.
