about
The first preview of the next Tallinn album, "On the Trade Winds"
lyrics
Out in Timor-Leste, your dad’s doing deals with the junta, but back in the compound my dad is bedridden with the tropical malaise. Papeete is corkscrewing into his brain; its sunlight would blind him...
You’re prince of the demimonde at the international school. I’ve been to your parties; I’ve seen the Dutch boys getting in and out of your pool, like Hockney’d have painted.
You’d leave it all — your parents’ world: so rich, but also so small — for the shock of the new and beauties in a state of nature.
I’d love your freedom (to live with such liberation) but can’t stop thinking of the things I could lose if I cast my fate to the trade winds.
I’ve been thinking about Gauguin’s death; I’ve been thinking about "The Moon and Sixpence" and where to run to when high society's descended on the south seas, touring the things that you've lost on the breeze as everything changes.
I can just see you: thirty years passed in torpor, gone by so soon, with a lifetime of sketches spoiled on mildewing paper.
But would I be any better? Always wondering what the wind could bring to the doldrums, remembering you and everything that you’ve wagered?
I’ve been thinking about Gauguin’s death; I’ve been thinking about "The Moon and Sixpence" and where to run to when high society's descended on the south seas to get drunk and then sunburned and leave, everything wasted...
