Thanks,

Usually It's humorous when I'm trying to be eloquent

Megaballs1--so you can do eloquent, as well as humorous. :wink:

For those that read the book...for those that love Keroauc...the poem "Sea"...what Jay has done on Sea Engines will floor them.

Sea Engines doesn't parrot or mimic...its arranged in a perfect way...it breathes life into this prose...true art.

In general, I think the soundtrack really captures what Jack felt in writing Big Sur...a certain weight of the world and life.

Just another monumental effort by Jay Farrar to those that know.

We calcimine feathers
Kitchen lights on
Sea engines from Russia
Seabirding below

When rocks outsea froth
I’ll know Hawaii
My doublelegged cliff
To the silt of a million years

Go on die salt light
You billon yeared rock knocker
Sad as wife and hill
Loved as mother and fog

Wine is salt here
This tidal wave kitchen
engines of Russia
In your soft talk
You aint just whistling for sanity
You aint just wasting time

Tumble seabird digdown
Footstep hollow weed
Accommodations of mind
Crashes in rhythm

The five billion years
since earth we saw substantial
no human words bespeak
sorrow older than this wave

ah change the world
ah set the fee
are rope the angels
in all the sea

wine is salt here
this tidal wave kitchen
engines of Russia
in your soft talk
you aint just whistling for sanity
you aint just wasting time

You can hear "Sea Engines" in its entirety on Rolling Stone's website - for some reason, they have it titled as "Let it Be". What a great song....here's the link.
