Moon in Water

[starfox203]

Incidentally, the "woman" who "sings" on this track also appears on an excellent, but rare track called "This We Know" by Mark Kilian. It's like the kissing cousin to "Moon in Water."

Speaking of, anyone want to take a gander at the MIW "lyrics?"

moon in water is absolutely brilliant. i would love to hear this in a finished release. it would be the ultimate opening or closing track to the next album (or both! as a reprise, with the repeating 'this is the time / when you realise' slowly fading out when the album comes down).

and imagine them opening a concert with it, where the track could evolve into a staggering live version of 8ball! after that, the beats can come in.

i must confess i have a crush on vicki, the mac voice. i used her predecessor victoria years ago for a cd release of a befriended band, trying to let her speak dutch poetry. and i was also once involved in a (never finished) project of computer generated literature concerning the shadow of a stone, cast by the moon. so the idea of this haiku-like image of moon and water, the factual tone in the lyrics, and the choice to have it half-sung by a computer generated voice, is so close to things floating around in my brain for years that i'm baffled. they've made all the right choices, also in music. it's one of many moments (dating back to doot-doot as a 13 year old) in which underworld/tomato turn out to be seemingly in sync with my personal development (or the other way around, as you wish).

damn.

moon in water is the best new song since you do scribble came up, both future classics. come on with these finished studio releases!

i came this far:

the phenomenon
'moon in the water'
is [my kind of?] human experience
the water is the subject
and the moon the object
when there is no water
there is no moon in the water
and likewise
there is no moon
but when the moon rises
the water does not wait
to receive its image
and when even the tiniest
drop of water is poured up
the moon does not wait
to cast its reflection
for the moon
does not intend
to cast its reflection
and the water
does not receive
its image on purpose
the image is caused
as much by the water
as by the moon
XXXX

XXXX brightness XXXX
inquiring XXXX water

the past is already past
the future is not yet here
the present never [invites?]
things are constantly changing
with knowing on which they depend

[so many things?]
XXXX created
XXXX
XXXX imaginations

sincerely and wholeheartedly
make inquiries
and also reflect within yourself
inquiring and reflecting
reflecting and inquiring
until the moon [and] XXXX

for this is the time
when you realise
that all your past

this is the time
