Bands, commitments, and brilliant haircuts
Thurston Moore and Romantic Fantasy
Driving and dreaming of being a band
Or a solo career on the Canyon Grand
The Cure climbed out over Niagara Falls.
The Banshees below in yellow Sou’westers
Happy memories for the Xmas cards
Covered in spray when both stopped to Play
‘One could have it all!’ says Budgie, solo in San Tropez
Alone but not lonely, beneath a Mediterranean moon
Reaching out for a connection and kindred spirits
With an ET stare into the cosmos of music
Mary trained as a Classical harpist
Learning to improvise in Thurston Moore’s band
Dismissing the voice that says, ‘No that’s wrong!’
Being Vulnerable – is that what they demand?
Everything recreated as recorded
Mary’s Goodbye to Hotel Arkarda
If Nothing will ever be the same again
How do you know when to end each piece?
Lol synthesised on Arrivederci.
Improvisations on New Year’s Eve
Mary is a sensitive sentimental person
Full of appreciation of people in their power
We thank you Mary for bringing your magic to our album.
And then Viola barks – woof!
