"AT THE FILLMORE"  by Philip Levine

*All citation from a book
"THIRD RAIL -THE POETRY OF ROCK AND ROLL-"

The music was going on.
The soldier paced outside
his shoes slowly filling


with rain. Morning
would walk early
over the wards of wounded,


row after row
of small white faces
dragged back.


She dozed in the Ladies
wondering should she
return. This warmth


like the flush of juice
up the stale stem
of the flower, she'd known


before, and its aftermath-
seeing the Sisters
and the promises again.


The music was going on,
a distant pulsing only
from the wilderness of strobes.


He climbed back up
the crowded stairs cloaked
in a halo of rain, and no one


noticed or called.
Nor were those the waters
of the heart she heard


rushing in the booth
beside her. She stubbled
her cigarette and rose.


The music was going on
gathering under
the turning lights, mounting


in the emptying hall
toward the end. They stood
blinded a moment,


and then she offered herself
to his arms, and opened
her arms to him, both


of them smiling as they
claimed the other
and whatever else was theirs.

PHILIP LEVINE (American Poet, 1928-)

I would try to translate it to Japanese for my practicing.

I just would,

it'd be just under my own interpretation.

”AT THE FILLMORE”

("FILLMORE" ≒ おそらく米国の１３代大統領、もしくは地名。)

"音楽は流れ続けた。


兵士はゆっくりと靴を履きつぶして外を歩いた"


"雨の中。　朝


早朝を傷ついた中庭を超えて、" *


"小さな白く表情のない顔の


喧騒ののち　疲れきる。"


"女性たちは眠りから返そうとしたが


彼女はうたたねしまった。


この暖かさは"


"まるで新鮮味を失った花の茎から


吹きあれる果実のよで、


彼女は以前から知っていたかのようで、


それでいて


シスター達を見届けた後の余波と


数々の繰り返される約束のよう。"


"音楽は流れ続く、


ストロボの荒々しさからの


距離の躍動の分だけ。"


"彼は雨の円光（ハロー）によって覆われ


混んだ階段を上っては降りて、


それでも誰も"


"気がつかないし声もかけてはくれない。


その部屋の中、


彼女呑み身元で聴いた


どんな心をながる水の音ももなく。


彼女はタバコとバラに火を付けた。"


"音楽は流れ続いた


旋回する光の下に集まり、


響き渡り


誰も居なくなった講堂の中で止んでいった。


二人は盲目の瞬間に立ち尽くし、"


"そしてその瞬間彼女は


彼の腕に自らの腕を伸ばして


彼の腕を掴んだ、


二人共"


"互いを求めるように笑いあい


そして


それは彼らだけの瞬間であった。"

フィリップ・レヴィン

(アメリカ人詩人、1928-)

Comments from me, MELTRICK in JAP.

英詩を、しかも、

いわゆる洋楽ではなく、

詩集からの選抜で、トライするのは難しいものです。

もう何年も昔から、字を書くことが好きになって、

言葉を肖るようになった幼い頃から、

自身で詞や詩を時に吐き出すようになってから、

なったので、 笑、

他者の、時に過去の自分の作品・言葉ですら、

誰かのものを意図的に解釈しようとするのは

とてもむつかしい。。

でも、最近この作業（英→日）がなかなか楽しくて、

勉強にもなるので　今日も一句、

ちょうど一年前にお気に入りの本屋さんで格安で売っていた

"THIRD RAIL"というBONOがはしがきを書いている

R&R詩集から（シルバーさん）ピックアップ！

Thanxx again,

  When I first saw this live video of SXSW2011 on youtube song called "Sweet 17" by a guy called Dirty Beaches, I was like, screwed out... (I'm not gonna say it Screw up though!) by how he made himself into his "Dirtyness" (dirtiness).

★Dirty Beaches / "Sweet 17" -- SXSW2011


the description with the video says;

"One-man dynamo Dirty Beaches brings his Sun Records via Suicide concoction 'Sweet 17' to our afternoon party with Hardly Art records + Art Fag Records."

And it's exactly same or on what I could get a feel of his show at Brighton Music Hall on Wednesday.

「Dummer's Heart.」

  Hey there, lately I'm concentrating to heading up so much good shows in these streaming days in this fall but I also feel so much frustration of not being able to edit them well. And you might better see my updates blog page 【MELTRICK】NEWS/WORKS for nowadays.

  There mainly would be working on official Japanese translating of Daytrotter Session essay articles for my favorite bands and its sessions. Keep tuning on my page there and the others in English/Japanese as well. I have so much fun things editing out now.

  By the way, last night I headed to my Berklee musician's friends in their studio practice work. After the work, we had PadThai and talked about many music complexes. In one case, we talked about how Radiohead goes themselves. One of my great drummer friends Chikara Aoshima let me listen to his compositions. Which is amazingly fantastic. So here I am listing the tracks from the talk. Today I'm gonna write that's it though, the point, one of my point of view in my entire life is appealingly as quoted by myself as this: 

 My friend drummer Mr. Chikara Aoshima's tracks are how fantastic. You know what, I was sort of drummer/songwriter and then been realized that drummer's potentiality is not only percussioning but also beating, that's the thing drummer has. In which if they're composing.

★Radiohead / "There There" (Acoustic live)
Song from their 6th album "Hail To The Thief" (20)



★Radiohead / "Nice Dream" (live Acoustic)
Song from their 2nd album "The Bends" ()



★Radiohead / "Street Spirit" (Live Acoustic)


You might see those radioheads upon are sort of old shits in 90s. But we were 90s, I was 90s.
And this my friend Chikara is also spent his life in a same era as me. Well, I sometimes am glad to share the feel on the same musical roots from each other lives, but that would be sometimes rarely unpleasant because if seeking new things for a life continuously, it couldn't be nicer that only looking back around but also only looking up. In the case, he's again rare.

★Chikara Aoshima / "Allting och lngeting"
Swedish Lyric: Monne
Music: Chikara Aoshima & Monne

Allting och Ingenting by Chikara Aoshima

Lyrics in English:

Everything and Nothing

In a tree that is withering away
lives a shadow with a lonely past
far away on a meadow
far away on a meadow

What used to be resin
Has now set to amber
with an infinity inside
without tears, without life

(If I left today, my body would reune with the place it ones new
If I left today, the world would just be robbed of my point of view)

without tears, without life

(It doesn't mean anything)

All the words that've been spoken
All the cards that have been laid down
All the prairies that have been prayed
All the miracles that have passed

It doesn't mean anything
It is the most beautiful
the saddest

All the tears that have gone
All the seeds we've sown
All the hate that's been laid down
All the love that remains

It doesn't mean anything
It is the saddest
the most beautiful

Evening turns to night
Night turns to morning
Morning turns to day
Day turns to evening

It doesn't mean anything

In a tree that is withering away
lives a shadow with a lonely past
far away on a meadow
far away on a meadow
with an infinity inside
without tears, without life

Un): ConcertReport「"All to All is allways all to us." -- Broken Social Scene has been guested by TV on the Radio @BankofAmericaPavillion」

 This is what I feel really lucky to have a big ...like stadium class rock concert that I rarely have in these years. Actually last year's summer I had been there at Bank of America Pavilion, where locates in sea side downtown of Boston, for seeing Ringo Starr. Yes, that Ringo, not Ringo Deathstarr yet. Even then, I was with two Japanese friends, not even mainly in pop music field musicians, Jazz Pianist and composer Takeshi Ohbayashi, and his music college friend in Japan, Violin player Tomo Akaboshi. It was also rare, wasn't it? But was one of my unforgettable memory in summer 2010. 

 So now, Broken Social Scene, one best my favorite band ever in the world, played for an hour set for TV on the Radio. I have stupidly missed their own album release tour show in Boston, I'm sure it was at House of Blues, honestly my disliked (or I would say, "un-liked") venue in Boston area.

 By the way, here the thing:

Un): LiveReview「"Looping like Silent 'Leniention' lenientively at the sky lights" -- Porcelain Raft, Caveman & The War on Drugs @BrightonMusicHall 」

   i was supposed to be afraid being un-clearly purchaser onto the downing world by my own all suddenly and upon the new state came up from the time wasted also suddenly perchance but gradually in fact. Well, nothing had had that was able to say from the bottom then, even though never had listened to any music, my heart always must have, at that time to a while, accurately a week, because of my heart never willing really unusually.  Finally i gotta go, go out to be pleasant that i can have something freshly. That was again, and of course, yes, it's music. 

 This 1st paragraph as an introduction is just my heart inside having emotionally in this week that I might be needed to take an explanation on something. That's it. I was at an venue where may be one of best venues now in Boston area, Brighton Music Hall, tonite. I would have some choices for weekend plan in this weekend and even weekdays as well, BUT it actually became a rare choice in my days lately that was going to non-Boston bands event in Boston. Which means majorly "the show" in local for me. It would be feeling like turning back to my starting point of music experience reversion.
 My purpose at the show was Porcelain Raft. He's unbelievably an opener position for Philly band The War on Drugs and the band might be as known as Kurt Vile's formerly band he partly played as a guitar player. On their current tour they're picking up a new brooklyn band Caveman as well as Porcelain Raft.

The Show Details following...

Date:
(Sun) August/21st/2011 @Brighton Music Hall in Allston, MA.
10-12Bucks.

ACTS:

1. Porcelain Raft (fr. London, UK)
