Tikkun by Jonathan Beckenstein
published on
i clean up the world
you fall in beside me
i’ll cover the Wuhan lab
you shore up the army
i follow the news
the news is disaster
i’ve given up on my booze
to wash the world faster
every morning
every hour
stop at the top of mountains
soul care repair
it happens this way
to each generation
the entropy cabaret
and reason’s cessation
every morning
wake up to the truth
every hour
plenty more to do
stop at the top of mountains
rest there fresh air
every morning
wake up to the truth
every hour plenty more to do
stop at the top of mountains
pure prayer up there

Comment by Little Lone Waltz
Brilliantly reflective lyrics of the current and past chaos of the world...and what a great catchy chorus!
Comment by Bruce Avery
Has sort of an anthem feel, with the big chorus & all. Not easy to do (my big choruses always sound disjointed). And had to search Tikkun – maybe trying to make sense of chaos? (us Baptists just throw up our hands & cuss) Woulda told you you’re overreacting, but last few days had some ‘splainin to do myself – might see you on the mountain….

Excellent reflection of the current dystopic world...the mountain top beckons for sure!

Great Tune and totally feeling it --i like the sublties of the lyrics and the somberness of your Tone(guitar and otherwise):)

Comment by Steve Low
the entropy cabaret - nice one - very individual song - great work - chords remind of 'Run to you"
Comment by Peter Grimbeek
Lovely stuff, as usual from you.
Comment by Peter Grimbeek
Not sure if the persona in the lyrics is a prayerful soul or your dear leader. That aside, suitably twisty and suffused with a mixture of challenging associations and spiritual advice. Of course, the musical execution will outshine all this again. And no surprise, big clanging hollow notes plus vocal that stretches in various directions to our sonic delight.

Comment by rosin dust
impressive, disturbing poetry, full of dark dissonances!
Comment by Debra Buesking
Effective use of dissonance, Jonathan. Also, I like the minimal interludes.

Classy!

Great glam chorus. Nice guitar arrangements with a subtle, satisfying discordance.
