The human race started playing music thousands of years ago, creating instruments with their bare hands. Their attraction to creating sound was irresistible, and it stood through the test of time. They used what they could to make noise and celebrate the infectious experience of getting in touch with themselves and the world around them.

To the cultures celebrating the tribal mentality through music: Thank you.

Like a blistering moon on a warm night.

We really initially saw this song as being completely abstract in the end, but obviously ended up in a slightly different key (no pun). It started with some water-like trickling on the piano, playing off of composers like Messiaen and Ligeti. It sounded discording, yet harmonious in a chaotically pleasant way. I of course wanted to fuck with it as much as I could, and in so doing I went hopping down the proverbial creative process. I imagined a single moment in time, trapped yet happy to be. It brings a kind of comfort that I need in my own life, personally. Maybe that’s why I love music.

On Raglan Road

Dug deep into my family past.

On Raglan Road on an autumn day I met her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue;
I saw the danger, yet I walked along the enchanted way,
And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day.

On Grafton Street in November we tripped lightly along the ledge
Of the deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion’s pledge,
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts and I not making hay –
O I loved too much and by such and such is happiness thrown away.

I gave her gifts of the mind I gave her the secret sign that’s known
To the artists who have known the true gods of sound and stone
And word and tint. I did not stint for I gave her poems to say.
With her own name there and her own dark hair like clouds over fields of May

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now
Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow
That I had wooed not as I should a creature made of clay –
When the angel woos the clay he’d lose his wings at the dawn of day.

Dug deep into my family past.

On Raglan Road on an autumn day I met her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare…

The scent of stale chips and old spinach
Don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m keeping my head down

Songs My Mother Taught Me

Charles Ives believed in the power of interpretation. There are countless perspectives to look at a single melody line from. One might be smooth and gentle, while the other rigid and chaotic. How a melody line is interpreted is also entirely subjective. This piece is our tribute to Charles Ives’ philosophy on music and what he did with it. Original lyrics by Antonín Dvořák, interpreted by Ives, then interpreted by MYCST.
