15 Oct 2021 | Ravello > stream #11 off Tributaries = «Piscataqua» > when we lived in Portsmouth, NH in 1997 our apartment overlooked the Piscataqua, a tidal river w/ sum of the swiftest currents in the world > musically we wanted to write a song like «Master's of War» or «A Horse w/ No Name» w/ a repetive oscillation between 2 chords (in this case Dm + Csus, w/ drop-D tuning + in 12/8 time w/ triplets hi-hat/guitar picking) > we moved to Portsmouth after our bedder-½ graduated w/ her bachelor's + our brother died... we were in debt + didn't know what we were doing w/ our lives, our bedder-½ was doing a post-doc at U of NH (then quit the program) + we worked as a computer programmer writing + installing software 4 hotel yield management Piscataqua we shifted north
thru a skylight we could hear the moon
that was the summer
the salt heaped in piles beneath our view
to keep commuters from slipping
only to wash into sewer drains
we went from sweet iced tea to knock if you're in need
but nothing else mattered + hear's the video: > Tributary #12: «Sandy» |
