"Andromeda Weeps" - Coming Down the Pipe

There's no time to screw around and "Andromeda Weeps" is screaming to get out.  The lyrics are juggled about plus some more over the first and they have been tried over the chords with those running on the looper.  They generally fit so this is starting to grow.  This one is definitely the live project and The End of the World is the old project.

How the visual works for this is way, way up in the air.  One solution is to do it in virtual but there is a tendency to dismiss things as cartoons for that.  It's better to integrate the two so there is question where one stops and the other starts.  In a personal sense that's true anyway.

This requires two Young Beautiful People and, well, a missile silo ... and a sailing boat ... and none of these are available in the Rockhouse.  Must look for some missile silo video on YouTube.  Rhode Island was a peach of a place for filming sailboats but that's a fur peace from here.  Must think on what else could be alright.  It could work maybe to find some young lovebird type people at the conservatory and get some mushy footage they wouldn't mind me using.  That kind of presses those specific people into service as Jason and Andromeda so that has High Weird Potential.  It would be cool, tho.

Maybe it's alright if the missile silo part is virtual as it shouldn't be too hard to trump up a silo and control room with lots of lights on the wall.  With the rest as Jason and Andromeda in the garden it could be swell.  It would need them to play along but maybe they would be cool with that because it wouldn't take all that long and would be at least minimally romantic for them doing it since the whole point is acting that out.  They would wind up as the stars of this thing if that matters to them.

Or he calls me an old twisted pervert who wants his girlfriend to get naked and he shoots me before I can tell him:  believe me, hostile young dude, I am not interested in naked people for this shoot.

Story developing ...


The call to arms:

Come ye, soldiers
ye, fighters
This is a
call to arms
Launch your missiles
ye, airmen
This is a
call to launch

Don't you let us down

this time

(Not really sure what those last two mean.  Must confer with the Necromancer about that.)


X1
Here on this bright harbor
with sails all around
the wind blows behind us
only waves make the sound
Your eyes sparkle in the sunlight
The wind blows through your hair
out here bathed in precious love
we have no other care <--- eek

X2
Andromeda, my darling,
what would you have me do
Your love is food in Winter
and they call me now from you
Jason, you're an angel
in a place that's not for you
but somehow we must survive this
and start it all anew   <--- another eek


Again the call to arms

Come ye, soldiers
ye, fighters
This is a
call to arms
Launch your missiles
ye, airmen
This is a
call to launch

Don't you let us down

this time


X1
Don't you go, lonely soldier.
This is not yours alone
We will die but be together
Soldier come on home
You cannot win this combat
There is no sense to try
The only thing to come on launch
is everyone will die.

- Wailing guitar but this is off soft electric for the bottom track.  It cries for a bit and then drops into the first chord of the loop to start doing hammerhead chords to crank it up.  Lead line then gets crazy on top of that.  Exit by killing the hammerhead chords to drop back to the soft electric. -

Stand down, soldiers,
all fighters
There is no more 
call to arms
Stand down, silos,
ye airmen
There is no more call to launch

We only hope you hear

in time




X1
There was no real attack
We got a false alarm
Now there is no danger
and no-one comes to harm
There is no win in combat
There is no sense to try
The only thing to come from war
is everyone will die.



X2
There was no real attack
We got a false alarm
Now there is no danger
and no-one comes to harm
There is no win in combat
There is no sense to try
The only thing to come from war
is everyone will die.

- Exit to solo guitar playing original chords and then fade out -
