supernada - supernothing, take 1

My self-praise gave me a shiver . I never had a knack for fish in a river
The art wanted to be life, but that's not for everyone . As milk cream it didn't dream to be free
My self-praise gave me a shiver . I never had a knack for fish in a river . Neither a knack nor a temper
Mom, I made a man! Inside one human, inside another human
Wish I knew how it's made . Don't even wanna think about it!
It's my toy, it's my toy! I spoil, I fix, I understand . And above all, it’s where I learn . To hush my fear
There is a house in the back that keeps the secret, Even you are afraid. Even you are afraid
On the other side, I watch, always in shape to hide the truth . Sometimes I almost burst, sometimes I almost burst
(So why don't you burst?) The world wants me to lie. The world loves lies
It's my toy, it's my toy! I spoil, I fix, I understand . And above all, it’s where I learn . To hush my fear

Paul Banks, leader of Interpol and his new band Muzz

farewell, Dave Greenfield

Keyboards is a kind of outsider in Punk rock bands and its rough music. However, some bands insisted in having this kind of finesse in their music. One of those bands, are the Stranglers. Also I instantly remember of a couple of bands more, the Tubes and the Magazine.
Dave Greenfield is best known by his too very much known song Golden Brown. But since the start of these grandfathers of punk, the Stranglers, Greenfield left his signature, many times compared to Ray Manzarek of the Doors. The stranglers started in 1974 and Greenfield joined then in 1975.

Dave Greenfield was is hospital fighting against his heart problems but he died after contracting Covid-19 there. He was 71.

Just checked that more musicians died from Covid-19. Dave Greenfield is the only one I know. And I'm very furious and very sad about this.

Farewell, you arpeggios master.
