lyrics
My anger is an issue
You can see it in my eyes
Hear it in my voice
The words I use
The way I snarl
My anger is an issue
When it slips the leash
It rears its head
Spits and growls
Is nasty and spiteful
And then the consequences
The feeling small
Embarrassed by the loss of control
It can be extreme
My anger
An over reaction
I think I have it under control
And then the dam cracks
One straw too many
For the Camel's back
And someone gets it all
My anger is an issue

This is a great initiative and in support of a great cause, with lots of fascinating music responding to the crazy situation we've all been in for the last few months. One to look back on when this is all over and it will be very evocative of what we've lived through. Excellent stuff nickdrewski
Imagine that Pete Namlook was born in Widnes...
An eerie, beautifully crafted vision of a future that never was. Can't recommend this highly enough.

In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020

Being a child in the 70s and early 80s had a certain spookiness to it. Spirits seemed more readily available. I recall a homesickness which would haunt me even then, as if I were from another place entirely. Life's a mystery which childhood makes even worse, so let us revisit it in all its haunting creepiness.
Who are the "pocket pavilions"? I can find nothing more other than this one song, and it's a very good tune I really enjoy. Apocalypse Devotee
