Thought this was apt on Youth Day. For those who don't know, on this day in 1976, South African police opened fire on a student protest against apartheid in schools, killing 23. Riots ensued, and when all was said and done, hundreds were dead, and thousands injured.
I'd pretty-much given up on the Delerium project until hearing a few tracks from "Nuages du Monde."
These tracks help illustrate, for me at least, what was missing from Rhys Fulber's Conjure One project that would have made it more enjoyable for me: Bill Leeb. As much of a tool he is, long touting himself as a "co-founder" of Skinny Puppy as but one example, I do like his creative output with Rhys.
I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more
Oh, my daddy he once told me, "Son, you be hard working man"
My mama she once told me, "Son, you do the best you can"
But then one day I met a man who came to me and said
"Hard work good and hard work fine, but first take care of head"
So now,
I smoke two joints when I get up, in the car I smoke two joints
I smoke two joints when I play video game
And at every ten thousand points (I smoke two joints)
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more
