about

Another hang-over from previous sessions. The first section was a song composed by Janette back in the "Demon" days when she first got an autoharp and stopped shaving her armpits..... It was accompanied, in its first incarnation, only by nylon strung guitar. Orchestration was added using guitar synths and ebows over the next couple of years but the song languished on the hard drive and couldn't find its place. In 2017, the Doc had a revelation and programmed the adjoining bass synthesizer sequence. This opened us up to the whole idea of the kind of crescendo and climax we felt this album needed. ..and then there's that bass solo!!

The simple lyric is essentially about returning, closing the circle.

lyrics

Into the East

We who once were are scattered into seed

The last of our knowing looking to the East

look into the East

The earth is quiet now - rocking us to sleep

So many souls to keep


Life yet to come - through fire and ice released

Life going somewhere - back into the East

look into the East


We learn to listen - messages are sent

“What we have will never end.”


Forever evolving - becoming other things

Life will continue - hear the planet sing

Into the East

We felt we're into an era in our lives where Bette Davis' quote about getting older (it's "not for pussies") felt very apt - and our music reflects this - and the experience of having lived a little! ... ... more
