Sacred & so so divine. Hunger & thirst now combined. Distance that which feeds my dis-ease. Silence, loud & incomplete as I perpetually plead rejecting defeat. Falling short but longing so. A fault set euphoria nascent ascent, an infinite breeze to seize the day( a thought away)...Only, One of a kind. Soley(Souly) thirst & hunger combined/refined. Salt & chalk it evade. Forfeit, temper the mercy, passion & the pain. Psych, divorced a symphonic cry. Divide, add to multiply. I only want to be close but can't shake the material flame or self control this blaze. Hope & pray. Hunger & thirst it away. The hunger & thirst still remains. The hunger and thirst still remains. Satiation declined. I'm so parched inside I can't even decide...

Corpus 01:26
Can you hear me? Can you read me? Will you touch me? Will you feed(bleed) me? Will you be there without that blank stare? Cold ice breaks the night-scapes. No place found, sights & sound morphing the background. What I have ever done to you? What have you ever done for me? Given and taken it away. The body of work not decay. This body of work will not decay...

WORDz: Arise! And sanctify these weakened bones. So climb out from behind the rote (mold). Week in. Week out. Weak in. Weak out. Week in . Weak out. Weak in. Weak out. Cold days are fine when there's a warmth; something inside. Something inside. I won't face myself alone. Please G-d take this pain from my bones. I wait patiently by the unknown. I know there's a place beyond our home (bones). Week in. Week out. Weak in. Weak out. Weak in. Weak out. Week in. Weak out. Cold days are fine when there's a warmth; something inside. Something inside. Blessed & disguised. The ego debased in this light. Ur self righteous claims die tonight. I will be strength. You will be strength. We will be strength. I will be peace. You will be peace. We will be peace. We will gather strength. Strengthened in the end. As I close my eyes and kiss the world goodnight. I release this prize to the skies...

Open your heart. Let me in...A catch and release left ventricle, right ventricle; juxtaposing over survival: 4,3,2,1...What brings u near takes you away from here. And what brings you near brings u further away from fear...

Held a candle in (gale force) times. Lost within a rhyme. Liberty or not here i come. A beacon of hope burning bright. Transcend the night. Transcend the night. What gonna break this fall. Let me give it my all. To break these lies between ur eyez. Let's face it we're blind. Well, not this time. Tyrannical thought. Liberty heart. Objectively speaking we've got to find what it means. You try to take our thoughts, try to take our minds, try take our ears & eyes & wordz not this time! "When the government fears the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny."

Hemispheres 01:06
: Eastern standard time, I've gotta wayz to go...Hemispheres & wine, sour grapes sold. What is this thing called a heart? This thing called a soul...Quenching the drought. From young to the old...

Tell. Lie. Vision. TellLieVision. Now hear this...Now watch this...Now hear(fear) this...Now watch this... Lalalalalala. Tell! I am. I am. I am. I am...Now hear(fear) this...Now watch this...Now hear(fear) this...Now watch this. Tell. Lie. Vision. TellLieVision.

Born 01:45
Time...Born today, no more ain't no way. A rising new breath doth not fade. Surfacing. So much for the wait. Onto a better, brighter day. Fresh birth weight. Flesh meshed fate. Hit that birth date with BPMs in meaningful way. Digital, dig-it-all. Circulate the heart rate. Spiritual vital signs invigorate. Clock in. Time set in motion, reverse the commotion. Surf the brainwaves to create a deep ocean. Let's take the time to educate. Educate. Life's insurance rates skyrocket, inflate. Lets out date, liquidate. Liquidate. No more wait. It's delivery day. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. For you created my innermost being, you knit me together in my mothers womb." Time...Time...Time...Time...

Somethin' not quite right round here. Ever wish you were invisible; well t(here). Brain missing there. Windows climb the stairs(stares). Chilling paper-cut on thin air. Someone is missing here...

Oh Ohh Ohhho. What? What? It stole my way. Convey. What? What? Went in through the gate ahh. What do u got to say ahhho. Part of this confusion is a full blown illusion. A perplexing conclusion. It's clear to me, it's evident. Part of this confusion one grand dimensional illusion. What? What? It's clear to me, it's evident. What? What? Court is in session. Ur mind in regression. What? What? All, all rise. In, in disguise. All, all rise. In, in da skies (disguise). What? What? Court is in session. Ur mind regression. What? What? What? What? Game over...

The second I thought, the second i thought, the second i thought, that this would be any different I would stay. Oh run with me, run with me, run with me, to greet the day. Where were we amongst the stars, where were we amongst the scars? It's not so easy to escape. Can u relate, relate? Suspect is armed...

Liar...

Connectivity 01:36
Join me across the river. Join me across the sea. Join me above the pain. & the suffering. Join me in the now. Join me beyond the then. Join me on this journey. Join me, ascend. Don't let go! It's all connected don't u know? It's all connected don't you know. Join me above derision. Join me above deceit. Join me as we traverse. Connectivity. Join me. Connectivity. Electricity. Connectivity...

HuHuhaHey! Ewwaaahh! Popcorn & cotton candy lurking between ur teeth; a paranormal sneeze, pleeze don't be scared of my big feet. Grant a me this hypothesis of balloons, sutures made of a potpourri of colorful ice-cream. We all scream; a sighing hippopotamus hippo-campus onerous phosphorus rhinoceros. Ohh Ahh. Right behind my eyez is a little tiny surprise (da skies), disguise, surprise, disguise, disguise ,surprise. inside inside hide inside. in side hide inside...Face me...Take a gentle step (Come here). Look at this flower (Come here) There's water behind the flower (Come here-come near). Closer. Confusion, behind my eyes. Hehee, smile!...Ode to my fiddlesticks on these stilts of ridiculous-ness. hiss. hiss.hiss. Uhhh...Skin. Eyez. Liez. Happy.Happy.Happy Happy Happy Happy.Happy...

about

"All Things Reconsidered" is the fourth full release from the Soulympian Space Loop Lab on The Space Before Time (Record label) .

"All Things Reconsidered" is an experimental, occasionally whimsical/odd, intermittently capricious & at times abrasive, colorful collection of various audioscapes. Illuminating the spiritual, material, terrestrial & celestial are all components making up the corpus of the "All Things Reconsidered" experience. All trax were woven together & arranged with vox + prefab, selected & at times manipulated loops/samples. Each track was not hyper-focused or ruminated on but was done in a rapid like fashion typified by the one take only, no do-overs approach.The lyrics & the various vocal textures were often completed on the spot & remain as a centerpiece. If something was errant yet even marginally tolerable it was left to become a part of the audio tapestry. Furthermore, there was no real/proper mix-down, engineering, mastering or production on each track. Record, quick edit & release being the M.O. Purposely there's a raw simplicity present as the recording qualities, timing(s) equalization(s) & volume(s) might vary from time to time &/or track to
track. It should be noted that one chief objective is to convey & link non-homogenized sounds & messages. The aim ultimately is punctuated by: EXPRESSION NOT PERFECTION.

Loop selections, arrangements, samples, editing, lyrics & the majority of vocals by Stephen Safer except for The Church - Under the Milky Way by Steve Kilbey, Karin Jansson.
