about
I spend almost all summer in my garage where I've got my studio setup. Just outside, along the fence line, grows bamboo. In the late summer they bloom when almost nothing else does. This is when they come alive, humming and buzzing with thousands of bees. I find I'm often lost in the sound - hypnotised and healing. I wanted to capture that. Musically, the switch between 7/4 and 4/4 is really fun to play.
lyrics
I was hypnotised once
I don't talk about it much
I was standing in my garden
thinking of you
and in the background a buzzing
sweet and true
when I snapped out of it
I saw the bees on the bamboo
we've all dodged those bullets
scars from when we got hit
but I don't feel a single thing
when I see the bees on the bamboo

Blue Mantra Rhymes, aka Ed Cooke, pays tribute to his current home of Bangkok and its folk traditions on this delicate new LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2021
