Stream the song: https://ffm.to/coincidentals LYRICS to 'Coincidentals' by Dave McKean: His assistants busy themselves Fetching scissors and coloured papers Mixing hues of different flavours Painting blues and greens and purples Cutting stars and squares and circles Beginning the journey Through a thicket of collage and texture and bread and circuses From his bed he considers the surfaces He remembers his voyages And he watches Henri watches Henri’s body is bed bound But his mind isn’t even earthbound He cuts into the form of a figure He places it next to another Improvisation, No turning back, no hesitation Letting go to muscle sense and iteration Creativity in the present tense No more sitting on the fence Commit to the composition And he watches… Enrico watches… The kids coming up through the quavers and crotchets Little birds with their scales and rhythms and pitches Finding their voices and hoping to sing He’ll pass on the history, of princes and kings Of Bix and Miles and the truth and the sophistry Of Chet and Louis and the proof and the mystery And he takes an occasional player under his wing And flies through fundamentals Improvisations and incidentals And he watches… Stefano watches… The silence of the film and the stillness of the man Deadpan Buster Keaton The girl leaves His heart heaves His blank expression Falls to his knees and then the horizon He sits. He thinks. Pushing his hat Back on his head. Lost in this moment of loss, the signs he misread, He fails to notice The coupling rod on the train that is rising and falling and that is where his seat is He bobs up and down as his dignity decreases His stone face flashes a moment of indignation beneath his… Hat. To acquire learning you need to read But to gain wisdom you must watch Stefano watches Through the bars of his cage A cage of bar lines and staves Something to break out of To fight with To play with To push and pull and tear and tickle and sway with All those accidentals Co-accidentals Incidental music for life Incidental music for life https://www.davemckean.com https://www.stefanobollani.com // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Newsletter, donations and download the song for €/$1 @ https://podsongs.com // LINKS // Website: https://podsongs.com Podcast episodes: https://podsongs.com/podcast-episodes Songs: https://podsongs.com/music Spotify artist: https://open.spotify.com/artist/32FYyRx1y1ex3jHHAgLMC7?si=4Nv7WW85SbSPZvCsj1o7Ig Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6sN1viy82HPiNTVX2YBxpq?si=1b84c2b9bdea4656 // SOCIAL // Twitter: https://twitter.com/podsongs Instagram: https://instagram.com/podsongs Facebook: https://facebook.com/podsongs --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/podsongs/message
