RWD<<< PLAY>
NEW YORK, ATLANTICANA Christmas 2062

Déjà vu has been explained as the mind playing tricks on itself, and that the mind is a playful soul, there is no doubt. The theory is that the multi-tasking brain takes in some detail without the brain’s owner —front-lobally involved in some other task— being aware of it. Like a hiccup, one thread leap-frogs over another and the out-of-sequence detail is suddenly up-front appearing as something or someone we have seen before. We have actually seen it before, nano-seconds before, but as the brain quite literally plays catch-up the detail appears new though unusually familiar. This may often be the case, but it is not always the case.
When we really and truly recognize someone in the instant before we see them, the brain is actually ahead of itself, referencing a memory from another world.
There are other worlds. Aren’t we all looking for another world? An inner world, or a different version of the outer world, re-imagined by our own thoughts. But there is more too. If we can somehow liberate our innate romantic nature then perhaps we really can travel to one or more of the other worlds.
Past lives, parallel worlds and other dimensions contain details far too copious for the humble human brain to master. That is why we have the dark atoms that make up music. Music is the language of otherworldliness. It conveys the feeling without getting bogged down by the intractable details and seeming impossibilities.

lyrics

NOBODY HERE BUT ME

IF GOD DIDN’T FORGIVE US?
THEN HEAVEN WOULD BE EMPTY
SO COME REJOICE AND SING WITH ME
FOR ALL ETERNITY

IF GOD DIDN’T FORGIVE US?
THEN HEAVEN WOULD BE EMPTY
BUT AS FAR AS THE EYE, AND I CAN SEE,
THERE’S NOBODY HERE BUT ME

WOE, WOE, WOE IS ME,
I GOT TALES TO TELL. NO ONE TO TELL
GATES OF HEAVEN ALL RUSTED TO HELL.
AND THERE’S NOBODY HERE BUT ME

YOU’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. YOU ALL KNOW THE SCORE
STOOD UP BY A SWEETHEART WHO NEVER WAS
DREAMS LIKE OLD BOOKS LEFT OUT IN THE SUN
CRUMPLE TO DUST AT THE TOUCH

BARTENDER WHERE ARE YOU? WHY’S IT SO DARK?
NO SMOKING? WELL OKAY BUT
I COME A LONG WAY. CAN I JUST SAY
CAN’T AN OLD MAN GET A DRINK AROUND HERE?

I WAS PROPPING UP THE BAR AT THE WORLD’S END
WHEN I KEELED OVER WENT DOWN WITH THE BENDS
AM I DREAMING? I WOKE UP FEELING LIKE KAFKA
A COCKROACH FOR MY ONLY FRIEND

I HAD WORE FRIENDS. OH LOOK AT THAT. SEE THE WAY HE SCUTTLES ACROSS THE BAR
IT’S LIKE HE’S RIGHT THERE IN THE BOX WITH YOU … UP CLOSE

WOE, WOE, WOE IS ME,
I GOT TALES TO TELL. SECRETS TO SELL
GATES OF HEAVEN. WHAT’S THAT GOD-AWFUL SMELL?
THERE’S NOBODY HERE BUT ME
WOE WOE WOE IS ME
CAROLINE MUNRO, WHERE DID YOU GO?
I’VE BEEN WAITING ALL OF MY LIFE FOR THIS DAY
BUT THERE’S NOBODY HERE BUT ME

“Nurse, nurse,” squealed the young attendant, breaking into a run to the ward desk. “Nurse Johnson. He’s woken up.”
