I'll go when eyes are shut"

"It's hard to know when to cut and run"

Volcano Choir: Still
"Unfortunately, the lyrics probably don't mean anything. :P"
...how the hell would you know?. :predicate" (comments/songmeanings.com) "dokumentiert, wie der Künstler seinen Gegenstand, die Natur, bearbeitet, um die Zeit anzuhalten." (Frank Sawatzki) "orchestrates the entirety of “Woods” with deft skill, pushing and pounding methodically forward towards a climax that matches “Woods’” inherent angst." (EMERITUS/sputnik music)
"I'm building a still
To slow down the time"

Ismael Lo: Tadeiu Bone
"Ahh that harmonica... ! (Vesna Vukovic on YouTube) "featured on the soundtrack to Pedro Almodovar’s ‘All about my mother’ film with the epic overview of the city of Barcelona forming the dramatic backdrop."

"The woman strokes his polished
chrome and lies beside the
angel's bone"

Elvis Costello/The Brodsky Quartet: The First to leave

follow the bier
of the dead cold year"

Play these heavens one more time"
