Bring a little rain...

 

Everything the same, whenever there's a change

Cause there's a prison in my mind for the views rendered insane

The lay of the land, the back of the hand, these forces unite to split stone into sand

As you hesitate, and I gravitate, I mirror the green of your eyes in the Durand

Dye Corduroy - Bring a Little Rain

Gridlocked...

All this backtalk;

Lends a little deaf thought to this gridlock

You let a little stray whisper burn a hole in you

All these roadblocks

The streets beneath the signs above the crosswalks

They realign your promises that fell through

The songs that you heard, ring in your head

Playing endlessly, the march of your dread

The next beat is just, a footstep away

It’s just around the bend, half a world away

All the time you spent on moments unafraid

Escaping memories that you eviscerate

The day bleeds into night, and night another day

Are you around the bend? Or half a world away?

Dye Corduroy - Gridlock (words: Adil Salik)

Catching Flies - the poem pt.1

So my forray back into blogging* after a self imposed hiatus of a few months has to be shattered with great effect. Let me present part one of a poetic piece riddled & crafted in January of this year. 

*I have been micrblogging on my tumblr btw - which you can all sample at http://dyecorduroy.tumblr.com

Catching Flies - Pt. 1

This waiting is feeding more quarters in meters

fulfillment is aching to shelve all the lies

we tell ourselves to make time, like endless repeaters

we give ourselves reasons that tend to defy

 

And in the meantime

and in this mean world

All of this abandoned belief is now catching flies

all of these ghost of future past are running wild

Like the waves endlessly crashing on the edge of my town

there’s a silhouette of a welcome sign that’s all been torn down

there’s a train track that runs through my mind all around

like a vision that curtains the white of your eyes

Lyrics: 

Hum nay dekhay kaisay toofan yeh
Hum nay jhailay kaisay imtihaan yeh
Bikhray, simmtay kitnee baar baar yeh
Duubay neelay gehray aasman mein

Tayree zameen hai ya mayree kahani

Jo tum nay bahaya lahu tha ya paanee?

(chorus)

Mayrey shehr kay bhoolay baynaam panchee

Mayrey andhair mein duubay khayalon kay saathee

Mayree dushwaar hayat kay raazdaan

Mayrey angaar andaaz kay hum bayan

Sacha no jhoota, behka eemaan yeh

Suraj mein pakkay rang ho armaan kay

Har sawaal ka jawab ikk naya kiyon sawaal yeh

Inquilaab kay yeh khwab, bay hasaab par saraab yeh

Tayree zameen hai ya mayree kahani

Jo tum nay bahaya: Lahu tha ya paanee?

Apnay iraadon kee dhaal kay peechay

Kharray hain woh waaday jo hum nay kiyey

(chorus)

Mayrey shehr kay bhoolay baynaam panchee

Mayrey andhair mein duubay khayalon kay saathee

Mayree dushwaar hayat kay raazdaan

Mayrey angaar andaaz kay hum bayan

Mayrey andaikhay raston kay

Mayrey maazee ko dhoondtay

Mayrey sayon kay baytaaj badshah

Mayra roshnee ko tarsa nagar

Of outlaw cowboy bands & busking in twilight.... Dye Corduroy's new track in audio equivalent of technicolor

Well, its that time again when I lay down my arms & surrender another track into the stratosphere of mp3-hugging aficionados. I refuse to comment on the sentiment in the song as I believe that the artwork blatantly encompasses all. So here it is, give it a spin and see if YOU can somehow factor in:

Dye Corduroy - Twilight Busker

Lyrics: Twilight Busker off of the upcoming record "The Humming Vertigo"

i don't want to listen;
i just wanna get through
i dont have directions; but i know i have to get away from you;
you don't make me feel too good
i don't busk in twilight;
but its best i do
and i don't have a torchlight; but they never come they're never here;
i just wanna disappear

and i don't; don't have much time
gotta get get gotta get get gotta get you; out of my mind
you know i bleed; bleed through the days
and what i need; just slips away

i don't have religion
i just have a clue
i don't have a vision but i know i have to find a way from you
you don't make me feel too good
i don't write love songs
i write fiction that is true
i don't see the future but these words in songs help me veneer
everything i have to fear

i need sometime to think around
how to pick my trembling heart off the ground
the letters you sent
the hurt you never meant
or so i'd so believe;
i found
what comes after you
i've found what comes after you

Dye Corduroy's Latest Offering - Kiya Tum Ho Wohee

The latest Dye Corduroy track is all set and raring to burn holes in your iPods and ears. Beware: The chorus can stick to you like taffy on a hot wet Wednesday.

Its called "Kiya Tum Ho Wohee" & contrary to the obvious its not a lament, it's not about love and all your gooey gremlins, its about alienation of self, friends, people and civilization. Hence the lack of recognition and the query - kiya tum ho wohee?

Dye Corduroy - Kiya Tum Ho Wohee

{lyrics}

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee

Darmiyaan;
Mein gumm yahaan;
Ikk kasak kee iss kashish mein khwab saarey;

Baysahaarey

Raastay;
Dhoop dhullay;
Waqt kay iss dasht mein who dhoondtay hain;

Behtay dhaarey

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee?

Maaverah;
Bay bahaa;
Silsiloan kay sahiloan pay woh khara hai;

Aik kinaarey

Ghair mein;
Andhair jahaan;
Manziloan kee chaoon mein bhee jaltay bhujtay;

Yeh iraaday

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee?

Aasmaan;
Par hai ikk nishaan;
Kehkashaan kee goad mein say chinn kay bikhjray;

Tootay taarey

Kiya Tum Ho Wohee?
