02:19
Amy, I don't know
How your mind can grow
If your heart is slow
And doesn't flow with love
And sometimes
The trick of knowing
Is showing how you more...can
Say goodbye, and in letting go
But Amy
What do I know?
Amy, what your sister did
Just another kid
Who grew too fast for the curve
And now you observe
How love don't always serve
We are immortalised
In someone else's eyes less

| |  | He's Going Crazy (song)
02:39
An original song by Peri Urban.
Em/C/G
Am/G/F#/C
I'd like to take you on a trip down memory lane
Yeah, I'll put on my boots on and hit the hill more...again
Because there's something up there I need you to see
Under the mountain near the stone and the tree
Pushing up daisies
He's going crazy
Who is this crazy guy that lives underground?
His head is full of clouds, they gather around
They sing his name out loud, but he cannot hear
So far from everyone, no-one comes near (more) ( less

|  | A Fragile Star
04:38
Words and music Peri Urban. Performance Reid Baer (NewWarriorMan).
OK, what happened here?
This is a new thing for me.
Everybody came over to my more...place
Uninvited for a jamboree.
Is this the power of poetry?
Or of a disaffected minority?
Or the cutting edge of community?
Presently, it's all a mystery.
Or was it the power of the word?
The way it was said?
Or the way it was heard?
Did it resonate like a bell made of light inside your head?
The morning sky holds a fragile star.
Maybe it was the music,
The singing strings of a new and extraordinary guitar,
With no place for pitch to settle,
You know, those little transverse rods made of metal.
Frets, you call them.
Zones of music, stoppers,
The places where your fingers naturally descend.
Applying lateral pressure
So the note will bend
Like blood filling a brass bowl
The moment to transcend.
You know, I think between us we set words free.
Flowing and cascading but always under some kind of control.
The meaning and the significance and the act of communication
Being the part that disappears into a black hole,
From which radiation
Pours unexpectedly.
What should be consumed and forgotten
Is broken in two by its passage to another realm,
An unknowable place,
Where an invisible face
Owns the hands that grip the helm.
O yeah, we can set everything free -
Words, rhythm, pitch, key,
Meter, ideology,
Compassion, hate, love and technology.
We can make the kind of soup the gods themselves would sip
As they tarry behind the curtain,
Watching the fabric of reality rip.
You can taste freedom,
But it doesn't always sustain your mind.
Sometimes your heart needs more,
You know, when there is something you struggle to find
In the debris,
Without ever knowing
What you're looking for.
Freedom doesn't evaporate when you turn your back.
What's behind you isn't just all black emptiness,
Devoid of life.
You leave a wake of possibility,
Churning up the ocean of dreams,
Making waves until it seems,
In that final moment before sleep returns
It is freedom itself that burns,
Independence that weighs us down
As if on our own we drown.
And it seems to me
That what we really seek
Is to be meek
Within the surrender of gentle and loving slavery. less

| |  | Not Here, Not Now (Reading)
03:27
Reading by Reid Baer. Words and music Peri Urban
Yes, you have freedom of speech,
But not here.
In your own home perhaps
But not on the streets more...(unless we agree).
You can't preach hate
Even if it's what you feel.
By speaking aloud
You risk making imagination real.
Is that what you want?
You do have freedom of speech
But not here, do you see?
Not now.
This is our playground.
This is our money tree.
Of course, you can say what you like
As long as we like it too
And if we like what you say
Things could turn out very good for you.
It's only words after all.
That's what we're talking about here.
Words, not reality.
Take a deep breath and hold on.
Soon the need to speak will pass,
As will the shadow of fear.
Freedom of speech?
Well, kinda.
You can say what you like on your own lawn
But step over that great divide
Onto the next blade of grass
(The one that isn't yours)
And your neighbour owns your thoughts.
That earnest thinking,
That deep philosophy,
Those magical ideas -
None of them are yours any more
If you express them on someone else's turf.
Freedom of expression.
Who owns that idea?
Well, Kembrew MacLeod has the right to "Freedom of Expression"
And now I owe him a debt,
And if he calls it in these words will vanish.
This diamond of structured consciousness
Rendered meaningless by oblivion and regret.
There was a thing I once thought,
I even impressed myself, no easy feat.
It might have been in the middle of the night.
Yeah, that seems about right.
Perhaps it was a song,
And I vowed to remember and cherish and repeat,
But it slipped my grasp,
And it's gone.
Now, that was freedom. less

| | |  | America Sucks!
03:16
An original song by Peri Urban. Part two of an American trilogy?
You asked me, how is America viewed overseas?
Well, America’s envied and loved and more...despised by degrees
You got everything, nothing and something
But you don’t know what
You are young and you’re brash
And you’re taking the cash
Take the lot
And your people are fat
But the rich and the poor never meet
You got vile politicians
With media whores at their feet
And you like to shoot guns, you got pizza
You sing for your flag
You got Christians, pagans
And those who think God is a drag (queen)
You got lawyers and mountains, freak shows
And deserts and all kinds of pain
You send your young men into battle for freedom
Again and again and again
But the freedoms they win are just chains
Wrapped in velvet and padlocked tight
Yeah, America stands for the light
Or she is the bringer of the night
And America sucks
If you don’t live there
And America sucks
If you are poor there
And America sucks
If she is bombing you
And America sucks
If she don’t love you less

| |  | Turning of the Day (song)
02:37
An original song bt Peri Urban.
I'm portable
I go where the sun goes
I'm portable
I flow where the rain flows
Deep underground
I reach where the more...moon is unknown
And I shiver
In the cold light of dead stones
I miss the surface
I miss the turning of the day
I played the fool
I played by your stupid rules
I found my name in you
I found my shame in you
I miss the surface
I miss the turning of the day less
