Listening to her music, reading her lyrics, we should be thankful that
someone dares to be this complicated, this human. And still without forgetting the importance of beauty. Melodies as precious as Stina's are a rare thing.
GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE
a message from Stina (of March 2006):
"hey. it is unfair and a blessing that i should stumble in here today. i am ill and weak and the world seems very bleek and lifeless- is this before or after the bomb?? i have been sleeping so it might as well be that i have missed it . there was also some sort of spring going on that equally seemed to have gone off into thin air. what i really want to say is: thanks. i almost started crying a little when i heard Greetings from the old world, another song i have totally forgetten- it was not on any album, maybe a single b-side?? written to an englishman i knew who moved to america. great guitars! and add percussion in the 2nd verse, the "the story goes you're still alive.." -add vocals, and the (pitched down) sampling from a central park concert. i must remember to not forget it again."
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Thanks for the add, Nice music and spirit, other tracks & mix on : http://www.myspace.com/complotbronswick http://www.myspace.com/ertremix All the best, Complotrmx
