Sweet Sorrow 02:30

Sweet Sorrow Sweet Sorrow The turns of life always tomorrow the the twist of the knife perfect pain present moment distilled essence emphemeral existence Buried in sound Gone the drama quick to forget sick and violent, sick and violent Don’t complain, no body, no pain can’t explain the murder mystery The unknowable the unfathomable the watchers watch the starry sky And lovers huddle and cuddle and kiss snuggle for comfort and struggle for bliss Buried in sound Gone the drama quick to forget sick and violent, sick and violent And lovers huddle and cuddle and curse snuggle for comfort and struggle for more Buried in sound Gone the drama quick to forget sick and violent sick and violent sick and violent sick and violent

Game of Hearts 03:58

Game of Hearts The car is broken The house is broken the dog, even the dog is broken my body is broken Time and money will fix most things Surgeons, mechanics, vets and technicians so stay on top of it and make the appointment Who’ll dig through my analog archives And animate my life What artist, what archaeologist Will make my mess in to a movie Make it all turn out groovy Rename, Reframe, revisionist history Tell your story Perception — reality Make this mess into genius And you can write your own epitaph: “...Never knew when to shoot the moon.” Yes, he never knew when to shoot the moon Game of hearts Game of cards game of chance count the odds Love obscuirty love anonymity love privacy love your family But he never knew when to shoot the moon Yes, he never knew when to shoot the moon Game of hearts Game of cards game of chance count the odds Love obscuirty love anonymity love your privacy love your family (repeat)

The End of Life As We Know It 04:06

The End of life As We Know It The End of Life as we know it Slow motion disintegration the passage of time, the passing of the torch from the rocking chair on the porch You have no future you come to grips with it Forget your grand palns you will not get to it It’s over... life as you knew it is just a distant memory lost in the fog of history Who knew it would happen so soon Those days are over You want me for the cause But those days are over You want to do the thing You want to keep it all going You want to do the doing But those days are over This is the doneness You are one with nothingness But when you reject it you further the connflict It’s over... life as you knew it is just a distant memory lost in the fog of history It’s okay for life to change It’s okay for life to change It’s okay for life to change It’s okay for life to change Let fear fall away let fear fall away

Standard Procedure 03:08
lyrics

Standard Procedure I can’t go down this way I need a revival I need a second wind A medical miracle Prep me for surgery Feed me intravenously shave my body X marks the spot Anesthetize me So I won’t feel a thing Wake me when it’s over Take out the catheter Put me on bed rest Put me on pain meds Send me to therapy And out the other end So I can pull out of this So I can pull out of this So I can pull out of this pull out of this pull out of this pull out of this pull out of this It’s a standard procedure It’s a standard procedure It’s a standard procedure It’s a standard procedure

about

4 song solo project from Seattle singer songwriter Kelly Blanchard of local band Blue Star Creeper. One of the last sessions recorded by Conrad Uno at Egg Studios prior to closing up shop and retiring. I recorded here with my very first band, The Somethings with Conrad in 1990, and again with Yab Yum in 1993, and it was a pleasure to return to Egg one last time. Thanks to Don Dietrich and and Dave Pascal for being a phenomenal rhythm section and to Ed Brooks and Rachel Field at Resonant Mastering. Thank you, Conrad! You will be missed!
