Maya Noise

This video is a great dramatisation of what goes on inside.  Don’t watch if strong language or adult themes bother you.

“On the inside I am fragmentary in nature. There are lots of different parts of me in there and in any given situation it’s a matter of which part of me is holding the mike and working the controls.”from Maya Noise.

Tommy Thallett was inspired to write this song when he read Maya Noise.  The sound quality in the video is not great so he sent me a more polished version of it which you can listen to here.

Here are the words of Tommy’s song.

the water keeps rising up
and the walls are caving in
the fence is getting rusty
and the sun is setting on everything

i can feel the details
with every passing breath
and the way your skin felt
when we made love i wont soon forget

because we are young not dead
our bodies are decaying
distorting all the things we’ve said
we get lost in language
and silence stirs us side
and i want so badly to believe that the human spirit never dies.

and i am gaining consciousness
with every tiny cloud
the answers are in front of me
but i can’t make them out.

your body is a vessel
and i’ll take you out to explore
my options are limited
but i’m always looking for more.

because we are young not dead
our bodies are decaying
distorting all the things we’ve said
we get lost in language
and silence stirs us side
and i want so badly to believe that the human spirit never dies.

This is a great little poem and video about being alone. Well done to Tanya Davis, the poet in the video.
