FAWM: "Mahtowin's Dream"

Mahtowin's Dream

Liner Notes

#alternate_tuning #nylon_strings #melodica

Mahtowin sent me some nonsense lyrics and asked if I wanted to do anything with them. Of course I did!

Lyrics

"Beware the hare!"
she said
from her rocking chair.

"Phone or rugby
but never listen to me!
And never rhyme shame with flame!“

I dreamed those lines in English

"never rhyme shame with flame!" sound very Mahtowin to my ears.
I love the psychedelicish tone you manage to make. Great clip too, in the same mood. Could be an homage to David Lynch.

Like a dream that is hazy, this has a lot of things going on and that sense of not knowing what is real.

Sounds like mahtowin has been smoking too much TechnicolorGramophone. This is ttg at the top of his game. Love the guitar, the way you drive things along. Yeah, that video is hilarious. Maybe you could embed a poll. I'm voting for rugby. And shame on you for that rhyme

@chill4matt 2w

From the opening, all I can think of visually is where are the ninjas? I'm a little strange tho! lol. Another +1 for videos. Good work, you two!

@powlob 2w

Yeah that's the vibe!!!! Still deciding which one I'll choose...

@fuzzy 2w

I'm liking the circular Drone nature of this.
Trippy video.
Haha of course there's Melodica!
Excellent collab, folks!

@odilongreen 2w

Once again, you've created your own little riveting world, aided immeasurably by the ebb and flow of your multitracked vocals of the surreal impressionistic lyrics.

And with regard to the lyrics: did @mahtowin mean for "I dreamed those lines in English" line meant to be part of the actual lyrics, or was that just a comment to you? Either way, it absolutely works as part of the song!

@coolparadisoMod 2w

of course she did and of course you did. I don't trust those hares. as much fun as always.

“Phone or Rugby”… I think that could be a new life philosophy here in the USA😳
This is super cool. The drop “D” with the accordion is bizarre in a parallel universe kind of way. The reverse verb makes it feel like a dreamscape. It would fit in a piece of art film as a scene score. Nice work!!

@gm7 2w

Wow that vid is cool and trippy to say the least..cool!

@sbs 2w

Super cool vid - this song is one of your best - IMO - lol! Every word is just perfect for this! Especially “rocking chair” for some reason.

i like the song, but i am crazy about the video. it needs to be seen around the world. and mahtowins lyrics and your music are the icing underneath the upside-down cake.
