about

There was a time when the Eye in the Cloud seemed a mere romantic doom-projection, a quest that involved snake charming melodies, words and cadences that put us at a distance from that near-future we have since achieved. Now old parts of my mind and this city are being leveled. The hazy primary-colored plastic signs of corner Chinese joints are being replaced with a blinding, blinking, blue-backed light. Perhaps this type of light as Devin sings, “this is the darkness for me”.

But these songs feel from some other time, a time of joy rides in sweltering heat when we still had cars to drive off in and desire seemed more habitual however wise or foolish. These songs were the arc between the point A’s and point B’s, the crests and cradles amidst the hellos and goodbyes.

The path to understanding comes through cacophony and camaraderie not calcification. To me, this is the essence of music. Old recordings new recordings they all occupy a place that is always within. The resurfacing of Eye in the Cloud is a reminder of this: that things can be had and taken, but songs stay. They are a warm capsule of truths, half-truths, and wild imaginings. Real earthquakes entwined with dream visions.

Birdie Busch - Philadelphia
