"MOTHER" LYRICS
I sit here alone
Weaving, Tears from my eyes Streaming, Tears from my eyes Streaming, Onto my white hair Spilling. My children Far out of sight, My flax So white, so white, The shutters Banging in the wind, The cat beside me Purring, This sadness And this lonely feeling, But I keep weaving, I keep weaving. |
"THE SMOKER" LYRICS
Hooked on pleasure, pain, insomnia
No appetite, sore throat Wheezy lungs, stomach just ain’t right Non-stop smoking through the day Some sad disease not too far away No more taste in food I had to smoke ’cause I’m a smoker Smoking is a symbol That helps to mend the habit Habits lead the way to new routine Looking more grown up Feeling less shy Something to do with my hands And many other reasons why Obtaining out of strangers Affection, kinship, companionship, Status, hope, joyfulness Deep sleep, quiet breathing Good appetite, energy Appearance right, feeling love about That’s why, each day, I lit a fire in my mouth And now, why I put it out Smoke air, I keep on smoking air Pause for rest Withdrawal’s a sincerity test I love my lungs, I love my lungs I love my lungs, I love my lungs |

LINER NOTES
Gene is turning 80 as this record is going to print, and everything
about him blooms and buzzes. I call him Young Man - in admiration,
not irony. The energy and joy of life that he radiates is unique.
He’s fast to create, strong to play, happy to learn, sometimes wacky
and stubborn, but mostly fun and wise. We talk a lot, argue a bit,
chat about how busy we are with all the other million things...
And then, when music begins, it feels like rain on a summer day,
surprisingly simple, refreshing and smooth. In his every bass line
and arrangement, there’s a melody and a story. In his every beat, Vik is someone I can trust to know exactly where we are. The connections with her audiences make her performances sincere and meaningful. The breadth of her music encompasses an ever-expanding panorama. From the beginning, her poise confounded me that she wasn't a full-time professional. The light bulb lit one day in Vilnius when her father showed me videos of her performing as a child on Lithuanian TV... I was in touch with an unknown but polished artist! Away we went and now it's twelve years later. It's so rewarding that she sinks into the arrangements I have crafted for her. These songs are extensions of our live performances... spontaneous and fun! - Gene |
