| 8 | Yet Another Farewell |
A forlorn tone poem for piano and guitar — composed and recorded in 2009, but never released. My youngest son and I shared too many “goodbyes” when he was growing up — as a co-parented child. In his mid- and late-teens, the goodbyes became longer — with this song’s separation being one of the last, before a several-year absence. |
Link |
| 9 | Hungry Ghosts |
A lyrical and musical depiction of one of the six realms of the Buddhist "Wheel of Life" — itself a depiction of the self-imposed afflictions from a life of attachment (samsara). Lyrics Musical score The narrator's verses give the realm's ancient physical descriptions and describe its torments. The rest of the song is haunted by the ghosts' three-count theme. Its dischord with the two- and four-beat music speaks of the suffering and confusion. |
