A HEALTHY DOSE OF REMIXES

I dreamt I lost my teeth one by one, they fell from my mouth on the floor of a club. My father helped me pick them up but they were sliding from our hands. I knew it was a bad sign and I woke up shivering. I dreamt I lost my teeth one by one. Two weeks later I lost my only love. They say you have to go through trouble to move on to new ground, the past has to be torn apart in order to emerge the future. And I had to move on and all I was left with was some blood-stained teeth to hide under my pillow. I lost my baby teeth one by one now my mouth is like my heart, a swolen hole but ´till I grow sharper ones I´ll take it slow and easy, avoiding trouble and making love just to soft boys till the day I grow my new teeth one by one. They will be sharp and shiny, big and strong. With them I will pay back anyone who gives me hell, they´ll get a nice bite to remember for the rest of their lives. Did it hurt you? Was there blood? I just wanted to keep a chunk of you inside me forever. Some loves are baby teeth, childish affairs. They have to go away for new ones to take their place. Some loves are wisdom teeth, painful, unecesary trouble. Some loves are normal teeth, once lost they´ll never grow back. Our tooth will never grow back. credits

When you walk upon those rocks above the sea and the soft breeze raises your skirt, when the wind sings to you a thousand promises, you hope that some of them may come true. Maria, you don´t need any lover, you don´t need a pain from which to recover, summer is your friend, run to the beach barefoot before it´s over. When you taste the fruits you always let their juice stain your chin and fingers. It reminds you of being a messy little girl, the rebel on the family table. Maria, you don´t need any lover, you don´t need a pain from which to recover, taste the honey while you still can before it´s over. You go to the woods and stroll among the pine trees and run your fingers on their wrinkled trunks ´cause they remind you of your grandpa´s face and all those lovely tales he´d tell. Maria, you don´t need any lover, you don´t need a pain from which to recover, run wild, touch, smell, watch and listen closesely before it´s over. Maria, why have a lover, who needs more pains from which to recover? Give me your hand, let´s jump in the water. Sister, why have a lover? We got enough pains from which to recover, give me your hand let´s jump in the water. Let´s learn how to taste the world before we´re over.

Our love was a tsunami. It was born in unknown depths and caught us on the beach one morning. The sea just slipped away exposing all that wet sand, we run to play and look for sea-shells then, with a monstruous roar, the sea came back dark thundering terrible… But we were skilled surfers and rode the tidal wave, we rode it inland as it was devastating and totally erasing whatever that had ever been before the day we met. We rose above the houses above the trees and highways, hotels, department stores and in between chaos and disorder we saw the face of God and he was mad, yes he was mad but still we thought that we could keep on riding for the rest of our lives. If only we hadn´t forgotten this was no common wave, it was the great tsunami! And the sea just slipped away as suddenly as it had emerged and left behind just pain and death and everywhere remains of our violent love but where is the love itself? Oh I guess it went back to the unknown depths where it had been born and left us all alone, looking for traces of the lives that we had before the day we met and in between chaos and disorder we saw the face of God and he was mad, yes he was mad but now we got the habit, we´ll look for waves to ride for the rest of our lives.

If there´s something out there come and let me know but be sure you come back when I´m ready to see you. Don´t come on a stormy night, blowing with the wind ´cause I´d be so scared while I should be so glad to see you again. If there´s something out there come and let me know. Have you seen your sister? Is she pretty in her Sunday clothes? Is grandpa proud by her side? Are you given all those things you were once denied? Are you having so much fun, are you in parties all the time with your friends? Don´t come on a stormy night blowing with the wind. come softly to me in a beautiful dream and tell me it´s allright. If there´s something out there come and let me know so I´ll stop worrying that my mom and dad are growing old. We ´ll have Sunday feasts again with stories from the East and when your coffee is done we will ride in your car ´cause you drive again, you drive agan, you drive again. But don´t come on a stormy night blowing with the wind, come softly to me in a beautiful dream and tell me that you drive again. Yeah he drives, yeah he drives, yeah he drives again.

Tras haber regalado mis discos, mis libros mi ropa y este abrigo que tú me decías que me quedaba tan bien, me siento extrañamente ligero, mis cosas darán alegria a otros, a mí no me harán ninguna falta. Dije a mis compañeros que cuidaran las plantas sin confesar que este verano tomaré vacaciones largas Quedé con mis mejores amigos, quería sacar una última fotografía para llevar conmigo. Y ayer por la noche salimos de fiesta y aunque mi mente se estaba alejando pude disimular y bailar y beber hasta el fin. ¿Habrá a quien le haya parecido cambiado, triste, un poco torcido? Este verano tomaré vacaciones largas…. Tuve unos sueños recurrentes y bellos, estaba volando encima de unos acantilados de unas islas lejanas. Y desde entonces estuve inquieto, no podía dormir o comer y mis ojos parecían dos ventanas vacías. Soñaba hundirme en aguas de cristal, cantar como un ser celestial… Me preguntarás cómo pude hacerte esto, no es nada personal, sólo quise evitar ver, sólo quise evitar ver como el tiempo convertía tu cara graciosa y triste en un sueño olvidado, una foto movida. No hiciste nada mal tranquilo, el amor y la vida penden de un hilo y este verano tomaré vacaciones largas de mí mismo...

about

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain

Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
