about

Subtext:
• The piano loop that runs from the very beginning of the piece is a loop of a Howlin Wolf recording.
• This piece interpolates two different songs, “Pink Love” by Blonde Redhead and “I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow” by Hank Williams.

lyrics

Text:
I won’t bind my strings to you,
But build a world beside you.
Watching you draw a line -
My only reason, naturally,
Starts to get to me.
Pushing my way through
The mesh of life,
I want to bleed out distress like this.

My heart, without reason,
Sunken to deep disappointment
Spreads over the universe,
With a knife,
I want to kiss the sickness of mind.

I heard the lonesome whistle blow.

I was riding #9,
heading south,
Inside my mind.
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

All alone I bare the shame,
I’m a number, not a name.
I heard the lonesome whistle blow.

I’ll be locked here in a cell
Until my body’s just a shell,
And my hair turns
whiter than snow.
I’ll never see
that gal of mine,
For I’m in here ,
doing time,
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
