L'Agent INCEL

c'est un plaisir coupable

just a touch of eyeliner 
and red lips is glamorous

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH 
the story behind l'agent incel

incels are members of an online subculture
who define themselves as unable to find a romantic
or sexual partner despite desiring one

a state they describe as inceldom


ok it's cheese but good cheese

fresh brie from a dairy farm just outside of Nice France
purchased at dawn, when their roadside stand is just opening
none of this Kraft Singles shit (made 3 months ago)
sweet? ok but imported chocolate from Belguim
or so what I would like to think


forgive me

it's just that when I have this much fun doing something?
I need to share it
I'm 63 this year and I need to do cool videos ATM
throw them out there - see what happens
not attached to a particular outcome
is liberating

this is what I call a 'quick fry'
started and finished in 2 days
non-stop - ok some embellishments
after a few hours of sleep
it happens

welcome to GATEWAY/19
and into a new cinematic album for 2019
and I have no idea where this is going

when I was putting the music together
I imagined this guy walking into a party full of beautiful women
alone, scared but looking cool
so I searched 'cool dude walking into party'
into youtube and this was like the 3rd clip down
I played it with the music and it almost fit perfectly
I have no idea who shot it

nothing existential here - provocative perhaps
earlier on, finding the song by marie-claire cremers aka 'amber' also on youtube
recorded in 1999 but re-arranged/remixed?  wonderful - slice/dice - add vocals/synths

editing it and remixing it in logic first, then ...
finding the pictures, putting them together and ok ...
this works (for me)

I kept seeing monica belluci for some reason
so she's here, with us

it's the beginning of a new series

THE BIG ONE


you know how sometimes you tell yourself
that you have a choice, but really you don't?
just because there are alternatives
doesn't necessarily mean
they apply to you

I CRYSTALLIZE


an invitation
make my lashes darker
my eyes are sparkling wide
make my red lips fuller
stepping me inside 
    
you make it all seem easy
to make it so unkind
my blood be cold with waiting
to leave it all behind


I CRYSTALLIZE








why should you think me cruel
why should you feel afraid
to have you love the thing I was
before the world was made

to make it all unkind
my blood be cold with waiting
to leave it all behind

immortalize
I CRYSTALLIZE

JUST ROLL




but lost children always find each other
in the dark - in the cold
it is as though they are magnetized 
and can only attract their like

CRAZY

distraction

a thing that prevents someone

from giving full attention
to something or 
someone else

BIRTH OF A NATION


change will not come if we wait for some other person 
or if we wait for some other time 
we are the ones we’ve been waiting for
we are the change that we seek

ALONE

I wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high o’er vales and hills
when all at once I saw a crowd
a host, of golden daffodils
beside the lake, beneath the trees
fluttering and dancing in the breeze


William Wordsworth

THE SIGN

fire in the sky - telling me to hide
but I don’t know
which side

and you will see the sign - showing you the way
you will be the light and you 
will learn to fly



THE SIGN












before you fall asleep
you must count your sheep
and all without - a peep

ON ME


there is a rhythm in this flight
a hollow entrance in the night
a majesty on feathered wings
a sign that better comes of things

the dew has barely faded green
than form ascending in a dream
as blackbirds facing the unknown
swirling heavenwards alone



ON ME

if all you can see
is what doesn't work
then you shall live in a world
where nothing works











right
don't trust you
ya, you look strange - where u from?
what you lookin' at?

yer not American, not Canadian, swamp dark
now ME, let's talk about me

I was BORN here ... belong here
it be my God given right to live here, without you
ok, we let you in but you need to learn to tow the line
step back and take a bullet for the dream team
I mean, we landed on the moon!  Invented the computer!
what have you done? (thinkin' jacksh*t)
WE made this world what it is

don't like?
just go back to yer sh*thole country and die then
I have everything I need and I aim to keep it!
you can't take it away 
all mine

PICTURES OF HOME


I have come to the borders of sleep 
the unfathomable deepforest
where all must lose their way, however straight
or winding soon or late; they cannot choose
win or lose


PICTURES OF HOME








here, love ends ... despair
ambition ends all pleasure and all trouble
although most sweet or bitter here ends in sleep
that is sweeter than tasks most noble

there is no book or face of dearest look
that I would ever turn to from now on
still, I must enter and leave alone
I know not how or why

FLESH AND BLOOD

dying man ...
doctor, I feel this pressure in my chest
can’t breathe - I don’t get it, I’m still young
why is this happening to me?

doctor ...
it’s stress - here take 3 of these daily
and come back in a month
if you still feel any pain
