Today, mass evacuation of people of Arbin town in Eastern Ghouta started. Thousands of civilians have been forced to displace. An area of 400K population has been demographically changed. This is absolutely a war crime that reminds us of Nazi crimes against Jews last century.: image via Mazen Hassoun @HassounMazen, 24 March 2018

Via @NourAdam0 We did everything we could to Let the world hear us. But you have heard
us and have done nothing to save us. But today we will be silent,
perhaps our silence will be greater than our blood, [with] which we filled with
your screens.: image via Benedict @benedicte36120, 24 March 2018

Dirty liars from @mod_russia
first claim "3,084 militants with families left" which actually are
around 800 armed men and 2,200 unarmed civilians and then write "4,979
militants have left", now fully concealing almost 80% of them are women,
children and older men. #PutinAtWar: image via Julian Röpcke @JulianRoepcke, 24 March 2018

Joseph Ceravolo: Cross Fire
This is the second day without anyone.I am chinning against a dark sky
to strengthen my arms.
A picture of everyone I love passes thru me.
No clear light streams thru this cell.
There's no dawn.
What have I gained
by lying in this abyss,
waiting for the masonry
to show a little slit
for my soul to get through?
Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): Cross Fire, from Millenium Dust (1982)

Stan Ridgway: Lonely Town (October 1989)
ReplyDeleteStan Ridgway: Lonely Town | Elysium Remastered (2014)
They all say that it's a lonely town
They all say that it's a lonely town
Wide open spaces––empty rooms
If the weather holds out, you can get there by noon
Shadows crawl on the highway line
Don't rush, you've got time
Pull into a donut shop
And get a cup of mud
Ask for directions from a plumber outside
He says "don't go there, bud"
'Cause they all say
That it's a lonely town
And they all say
That it's a drag
And they all know
Those people in a lonely town
All those people are
Lonely and mad
Now I've got my foot on the gas
As I'm crossin the midwest county line
And I think about those mosquitos on my windshield
How they don't give a damn about Christmas-time
And as the passing trucks all flash their lights
Just as I top the hill
I'll remember two green eyes and some flowers
Dyin' on a windowsill
They all say
That it's a lonely town
And they all say
That it's a drag
They all know
Those people in a lonely town
And all those people
Are lonely and mad
They're just lonely and mad
Out here in a lonely town
from MOSQUITOS 1989
Love: Alone Again Or (original version 1967)
ReplyDeleteYeah, said It's all right
I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you'll do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear
-- Alone Again Or: Bryan MacLean, 1966
Bryan MacLean: Alone Again Or (acoustic demo recorded 1966-67)
'As the secondary songwriter in the renowned folk-rock/psychedelic group Love, guitarist and vocalist Bryan MacLean was overshadowed by that group's driving force, singer/songwriter Arthur Lee. Yet MacLean did manage to squeeze a few of his own compositions onto the group's first three albums: "Softly to Me," "Orange Skies," "Old Man," and "Alone Again Or." MacLean's tunes had a lighter, poppier touch than Lee's, but also had a similar evanescent, mystical glow, enhanced by MacLean's odd trembling vocals. "Alone Again Or," in fact, could be Love's most well-known song of all, leading off their classic Forever Changes album, and driven by an unearthly arrangement of harmony vocals, mariachi trumpet, and strings.'
Arthur Lee c. 2003:

ReplyDeleteto show a little slit

Another lonely song: Lonely House, Abbey Lincoln
I can't say how much Love meant to me growing up. We'd play Forever Changes over and over.
Ceravolo: Mother Land and Savage Nocturne
ReplyDeleteDuncan thanks so much for continuing encouragement of Ceravolo here, else would not be happening, so many many lonely songs, the best always remembering soul in a time when so needed yet so oft forgot - Much talked about seldom seen (Rochefoucauld on Love)
