Lyrics

soon as the words were spoken,
they were commited to the sea...
-names in the wake of
some uncertain science
litter history and the darker earth
beneath my feet,
the lines and zones
divide and retreat to poles

and disassemble the shapes
that i've known...
into these plates and pieces
that break for no reason...

-just crushed/by the weight of the world...

	when to stop... Another very nice, song. Enigmatic, and brief. When to stop is a big thing with you isn't it? I like that. Check out my latest song called Had We But World Enough

	Master of trick photography & song Why no photo for this piece? Beautiful work again jonx. As I have said before, these songs are not, NOT, too short. They are small jewels. No time wasted.

Again
Extremely good song and performance. Interesting concept for lyrics, poetic and well delivered. I'm one of the people who would like to hear this and some of your other songs go on longer. Certainly not bad at this length, but it leaves me feeling like it was about to give me something more but then just ends.

In any case, it's a wonderful song all around. A download for me.

1/3 of a great song
Your poetry songs are so well crafted, so focused and
contained, so well performed. My personal feeling is that
many of them, including this one, are so short I feel as if I
have listened to a song concept and not a completed track
when it stops playing. Some people comment that it is
great to, leave them wanting more. I would rather feel
fulfilled. This song is 1/3 as long as I would like to hear.
You could double everything here, create more lyrics to
develop your idea, and include a bridge that would
devastate with its power, and have a masterpiece.

Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

	1/3 of a great song I think a song is over when it's over. Why not do what I do with They Might Be Giants' short songs - play them again? Make sure you let us know when the CD is out, JonX. --- "You read him his rights while I shave his legs." Check out my latest song called Deep Depths

	Plate tectonics Lyrically, you're work is just above and beyond. All aspects of the song are superb. Length issues aside, I could digest and ponder many fascinating tangents of what you're saying over many plays of this delightful song! Thanks Check out my latest song called anymore

SpasmodicMan	SpasmodicMan said 1661 days ago (May 10th, 2005)
	Yes Yes, poetic. Yes, well done. Yes, prefer it longer. Yes, gives impression of song idea and not complete song due to length. Yes, I want more! Yes, you are special. Check out my latest song called The Androgyne

EdensEve	EdensEve said 1660 days ago (May 11th, 2005)
	Mmm-more I agree that this is a great song, or part of a song, and would like it to go longer. Since it doesn't, I'll just listen to another one of yours from your list, which is the next best thing!

	Cat Stevens Comes to mind immediately. More rave reviews from me too. Really polished and radio ready.

	Dude, This sounds like Coldplay. Check out my latest song called Lost

aivan	aivan said 1477 days ago (November 9th, 2005)
	Dude, Yeah, Coldplay invented pop music... :S Your voice reminds me of Cat Stevens... pretty good voice, yes... :) Check out my latest song called Mi Veneno (reworked)

	Refreshing and soothing I personally like the short length of the song, although I would have loved to hear more musical interludes. The repeating keyboard pattern is beautiful, and I was left wanting more. I think of "The Ghost in You" from P Furs. You are left wanting more, and that is waht you want from a song. Job well done. Check out my latest song called Wave ( vocal remix)

	Sumptuous production Sounds a bit like Del Amitri and yes it is too short. But I kind of like it like that. Makes it almost enigmatic. Maybe if we put three of your songs together we get a "whole" one...? small but perfectly formed...
