Alone - The Cure
Alone
On Thursday 26th September 2024 The Cure released the single Alone π΅
Birds fall from the sky, broken voices call us home and youthful dreams are dashed against the transience of life in the bandβs first new song in 16 years
(from π The Guardian)
The lyrics of the song “seem to be based on Dregs, an 1899 work by the Decadent poet Ernest Dowson”.
Alone on Apple Music
Official video on YouTubeThe Cure - Alone (Lyrics)
This is the end
Of every song that we sing
The fire burned out to ash
And the stars
Grown dim with tearsCold and afraid
The ghosts of all that weβve been
We toast with bitter dregs
To our emptinessAnd the birds
Falling out of our skies
And the words
Falling out of our minds
And here is to love
To all the love
Falling out of our livesHopes and dreams are gone
The end of every songAnd it all stops
We were always sure
That we would never change
And it all stops
We were always sure
That we would stay the same
But it all stops
And we close our eyes
To sleep To dream
A boy and girl
Who dream the world is nothing
But a dream…Where did it go?
Where did it go?
Broken voiced lament
To call us homeThis is the end
Of every song we sing
AloneErnest Dowson - Dregs
The fire is out, and spent the warmth thereof,
(This is the end of every song man sings!)
The golden wine is drunk, the dregs remain,
Bitter as wormwood and as salt as pain;
And health and hope have gone the way of love
Into the drear oblivion of lost things.
Ghosts go along with us until the end;
This was a mistress, this, perhaps, a friend.
With pale, indifferent eyes, we sit and wait
For the dropt curtain and the closing gate:
This is the end of all the songs man sings.π more

Lankum: If microphones are put in front of us, we are going to talk about Gaza
βI think that if you have a platform,β Peat says, βand you donβt use it to speak what you believe about this, then itβs a waste of a platform. I also think that having a platform to only promote your music or yourself doesnβt sit very well for me. Itβs horrendous whatβs happening and if microphones are put in front of us, weβre going to talk about it. Itβs really that simple.β

Linkblog π: John Cage: Organ playing 639-year-long piece changes chord π΅
The longest - and slowest - music composition in existence had a big day on Monday - it changed chord for the first time in two years.
Crowds gathered at a church in Germany to witness the rare moment, which is part of an artistic feat by avant-garde composer, John Cage.
The experimental piece, entitled As Slow as Possible, began in 2001. Being played on a specially-built organ, it is not set to finish playing until the year 2640. -

Green Man Festival 2021 Photographs π· π΅ β a Flickr album of photos straight from my old Pentax K100D camera.

Green Man 2021 π΅
Off to Green Man Festival 2021 this morning. I’ve been going to this festival since 2008. The only years I’ve missed were 2018 (holidaying elsewhere) and last year (because of the COVID-19 cancellation). Feels good to be going back now and seeing some live music - my first major event since the lockdowns.
Whilst there I usually have absolutely no phone service/signal so, unless they’ve improved the network infrastructure in the last 2 years, I probably won’t be making any online posts or photograph uploads. Although, sometimes, in the early hours of the morning when most other phones are off or not being used you can get some sort of data connection…
This year I will be taking a ‘proper’ camera for the first time rather than just a phone. I say ‘proper’ but it is a 14 year old Pentax K100D. Just have to wait and see what sort of photographs I can take with it - and if it survives the experience.
Now just hoping the weather stays good.

Medical Grade Music ππ΅
Received my signed copy of Medical Grade Music by Steve Davis and Kavus Torabi.
Last week I joined a Rough Trade hosted Zoom meeting with Kavus and Steve where they read excerpts from and discussed the book and some of the stories from and behind it. They were both very enthusiastic!
In addition to reading the book I’m particularly looking forward to investigating music I haven’t heard before. In the Appendices there are several musical lists, including recommendations for an album a week for a year from both authors. I’m not familiar with many of them (although more of Kavus' than Steve’s).

Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien: ‘Humanity has only really learned from disaster’ π β Excerpt: Ed OβBrien believed Radioheadβs turbulent years were behind him.

Now, the five-piece had nothing to prove, and he had slipped underwater.

Listening to Thanks for the Dance, the album of Leonard Cohen’s final songs. π΅
What is immediately striking about Thanks for the Dance is how organic these meticulously constructed songs sound, given that five of them were assembled from the barest musical sketches and four others from lyrics Leonard had recited, but not put to music. It sounds, above all, like a labour of love, and one that is entirely faithful to Cohenβs abiding spirit.

Went to see Suede at The Great Hall, Cardiff University Students' Union last night π΅. They were amazingly good, an absolutely electric gig from start to finish. I saw Suede twice in the 1990s with exactly the same lineup of Brett Anderson, Richard Oakes, Mat Osman, Simon Gilbert and Neil Codling. Last night’s performance was as good as, if not better than, those earlier days.
Great support from BC Camplight (aka Brian Christinzio).
The Suede setlist was
- As One
- My Insatiable One
- Outsiders
- We Are the Pigs
- So Young
- Metal Mickey
- New Generation
- Tides
- She’s Not Dead
- Stay Together (Brett with Richard acoustic)
