about

Sweet Interstices is from the Spoken Word and Soul album Respect the Beard: Soul from Artist, Writer, Broadcaster Jabulani. Using the feeling, riffs, rhythms and spirit of the classic song by The Dramatics "In the Rain,." Sweet Interstices is a sultry and ominous Spoken Word piece about the space between never again and not yet, the uncertain eternal presence and the even more uncertain future. It's about loving the rain even when it makes you wet and cold. After all nothing organic grows without rain. Sweet Interstices is about weathering interpersonal and intra-personal relationships. On a larger level, it's about acknowledging the natural order and disorder that surrounds us.

lyrics

Hoppin, skippin, runnin round and fallin’ in love…
Fallen…
Fall into winter out of Autumn…
In connectivity constantly, with call drops of locution…
I heard someone in that dead air, heard say poetry is dead…
My reply, a sigh, a shrug and the answer: maybe, except when owning choices and sharing accountability….
Keep fallen on my head, could this be that domed sound…moving out of the mental booth where we’re hearing our own voice…
It’s the internal dialogue that gets us in trouble….every time…
He’s wondering should he take it upon himself, to take the keys, or ask like a gentleman..
He knows no one is safe from external elements and that the quest for the hot spot, between…absence and immersion is the real deal…
Falling….
In the meantime in between time (3X)
Mean, meaning, averages…we are conduits betwixt mathematics and statistics…the ethereal simplistic…
How can we make each other happy, and even further, farther better longer…PRO-Lific
How hungry are you?
Sew the wind and reap the world wind, whirlwind, from whirling Dervishes, whirled in….they surface…
We strive to find that purpose….Awww yeahh, right there.
Extra Virgin, Olive Oil of Olay, lyrical, hemispherical matadors…with the hubris and presumption of a meteorological forecast.
Stuck in traffic, not wondering or asking if the hidden sun ever says you owe me, if the sky gets pissed off…because it has to wait in line.
So wet, I live for this shit…that’s why my viewmaster gets stuck in a flash…
We feel the firmament gash….and laugh…
Funny how you can’t see thunder or hear lightening but we feel both, try to bottle and sell, steal both…
Let’s sit in the ride, Double Entendre-rific….
In the meantime in between time (3X)
Mean, meaning, averages…we are conduits betwixt mathematics and statistics…the ethereal simplistic…
How can we make each other happy, and even further, farther better longer…PRO-Lific
Lord said, stop wallowing in that sad music…
Unconquerable I, in the eye of the storm, rebuttal to the most high…
I know. But Got Damn: GOD. I love this song.
Ladies and Gentleman, the fabulous Dramatics.
