【MV】Tonye Aganaba - Thought of You - White Wizard





I have always had a real fascination with the stars and the study of ancient worlds, and a recent foray into the world of the ancient mayans, led me to the happy faced White Wizard emblem seen on my album cover. This sign is that of White Wizard, a person believed to be a shaman, guiding others to light by empowering and enchanting them with their gifts. This sign represents my birthdate and as such has turned into a talisman of sorts, representing my belief in the magic of life, and the power of positivity.

I chose to release the first single on the 2nd of January because it's a significant day in the the Mayan Calendar. It's a White Wizard day. The tone of the day is to be inspired by the divine, and to communicate from the spirit. A wonderful sentiment to have when releasing any project! My hope is that the message within it will inspire and touch you!

By releasing my EP on a White Wizard day, I am reminded to see the divine in everything that I do.

Dedicated to my Family and every member of my soul group.

Special Thanks to Live Vision Management, EBM 14's, Randy Ponzio, The Foundation.

時間的說詞

今天有意無意聽了隔壁大頭在啐唸,時間長度大約一個小時吧,相當一張西洋唱片的長度,相較之下,我目前的環境至今不至於如此。

人的際遇無可預料,一旦遭遇亦無法脫身,好多像是選擇的東西其實都不是選擇,那些僅僅是每一段過程,這就是時間的說詞。

我們根本不能與時間戰鬥,並揣想各種不會發生的可能性。後悔是現實的敵人,唯有不肯後悔的人才可以與時間茍合。

人生難免無奈、無趣,但絕不能無力以對。

【解釋】Robin Thicke - Tears on My Tuxedo




Listen here darling, be a good girl
I'mma tell you something I know about the world
It's the same thing, that I've been trying to tell you
Don't make me, run and run, run from your blues, don't make me close my heart or know your bad news
Use your crying eyes wisely and don't push me into a corner

Crazy in the morning, afraid of the night
Story always changing, something ain't right
Don't know if it's real or fake, I can't trust the pain, of your tears on my, tuxedo
Tears on my tuxedo
Tears on my tuxedo
Either you're truly scared, or you've come prepared
With your tears
Oh you're tears, oh you're tears
On my tuxedo

prelude:不安



燈光 暗澹

心惶惶

身居無感 滿日惆悵

有妳無妳亦神殤

我看路邊的嫩芽蕩漾
卻無聞那春季預告的期待
埋在土裡是無視光照的種子
發了花也是百殘

少了陪伴 就是苦痛

車聲帶不走我的移地憂鬱
束縛的人生究竟難以適應

【心法】筒井康隆/櫟澤的對張(四)

「自己不做任何努力,只知道攝取那種咬碎後軟綿綿流進喉嚨的溫和小說和流行小說,還大放厥辭『請寫些正經的文學』。容我在這裡介紹一段葛楚德‧史坦(Gertrude Stein,1874~1946,美國詩人、小說家)女士的話就夠了。『新奇、新鮮的藝術必定令人不安。若是為了取悅於人而停止這種不安感,那部作品就完了。』怎麼樣!?嚇到了吧!你們這些河馬暴牙!連想都沒想到竟然有這種文學常識吧!......你們想要不討厭、沒有苦味、充滿樂趣、不會令人不悅,說穿了就是讀過之後什麼也不剩的作品是嗎?是的,一點也沒錯,我們想要那種讀起來令人愉悅的小說,感覺就像在早晨與中年紳士輕柔做愛般,去照照鏡子吧這些糞袋!符合自己興趣的小說、此外什麼都不是的小說、不會傷害自己的小說、不會腐蝕自我的小說、教導日常處世智慧、死氣沉沉的小說、對人生有助益的小說、讓人墮落的小說--尋求這些東西的讀者不要擋在店門口妨礙作家!......我借用一句畢卡索的話吧:『創作新事物時,由於過程實在太複雜,作品無論如何都會變得醜陋不堪。』怎麼樣?嚇到了吧!」
