AMANT PERDU

parfois j'ai voulu te jeter comme 
un lourd manteau

parfois j'ai dit que tu ne me laisserais 
pas respirer ou bouger

mais maintenant que je suis libre 
de choisir des vêtements légers ou pas du tout

je sens le froid, et tout le temps je pense

de combien il était chaud

A M A N T    P E R D U

sometimes I have wanted to throw you off like a heavy coat

sometimes I have said you would not let me breathe or move

but now that I am free to choose light clothes or none at all

I feel the cold, and all the time I think

of how warm it used to be

TERMINATE ME

let yourself be silently drawn

“It is not the consciousness of men 
that determines their being 
but, on the contrary, their social being 
that determines their consciousness”

DAUGHTER: LANDFILL

I come from a violent background

so I became hard

I realized that I had made myself that way

to deal with a feeling of abandonment and shame

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
