it's interesting. ideas that become so powerful in your mind and your consciousness they seem real to you even before they become tangible. imagination that becomes so strong that you can actually see
it. when i built my first home for my family in idaho all those years ago, before i started construction on this home i used to take my friends and associates out to the vacant property and take them on a tour
through the house. is that possible? is it possible to take someone on a tour through an imaginary house, and the answer is, yes. i used to say "this is the three car garage" and the guy would look and say "yes, this garage will hold three cars". i could really make it real, make it live. i would take them on a tour through the house, "here's the fireplace, and this fireplace is brick on one side and it's stone on the other side". i could make it real, "here's the rest of the house, here's the kitchen with this view window", and they would look out the window as i took them on this tour. one day i made this house so real one of my friends bumped his elbow on the fireplace, it was that real. so imagination, we call it nothing simply because it's nothing in terms of being tangible, but it is so real it's almost real. so the first step is to imagine the possibilities. imagine the possibilities; one of the reasons for seminars and sermons and the lyrics from songs and testimonials of others is to give us an idea of the possibilities.

overgrowth, toadstools and stars on pulleys
hopscotch,
butterflies and shopping trolleys
this place is a mess, this place never ends
no one comes back in a hurry
i makedo, when i makebelieve
i makeout like i didn't hear that
i makeup, after poor decisions
i makeout that it never happened
chalk dust, a
mber rust and underage
tree roots, garbage chutes and a scrapbook page
this place falls apart, this place is my heart
no one gets past my ribcage
i makedo, when i makebelieve
i makeout like i didn't hear that
i makeup, after poor decisions
then run
and hide from the searchlight

hush now, sit still
pay attention to the footsteps
control your breathing, else it echoes
down now, underneath
a rabbithole behind barbed wire
where ever you go no one knows
let time fade
over you
and let shade cover you
ace of spades, masquerades
through and through

what do you think a raindrop thinks
as it plummets toward the ground
does it miss the ocean where things were simpler
or does it blame the cloud
as it
falls with friends dragged in the same mess
all falling at different heights and speeds
does it wish to die on a dying tree
to leave a legacy

i'd had a shitty night, shitty people to deal with
at the ironically named youth group
"haven"
you offered up a ride, a night i'd treasure for forever
singing slim shady loud through half
-
drawn windows
later in kmart, buying womens clothing
and beck practically begging for cheap toys
i somehow hadn't realised, i was slow, obtuse
you'd
only buy these things for me

i'll document these thoughts behind piano
and bury them in the scrapyard of my mind
then once i've grown up more i'll return
and laugh into past, say "i was blind"
but there within that moment, i'll be wrong
cause people are always changing all the time
it's a new page
and a new day
and i'll write things
about the last day
there'll be whiteout
over this phrase
there'll be highlights
over that phrase
there'll be photos
stuck with loose tape
ones of
good times
made on good days
not a lot, but enough to keep me smiling
to wake me up again
i might look back upon this little album
i don't know what i'll be thinking though
it doesn't matter, i just want to mention
shye from in the past says "hello"

Gleaming with a paradisical curiosity, these are the most humanly touching soundscapes to be heard this year. It is dense and complex, at least in the way that I react strongly to it.
