Suely Mesquita

5 years ago, I co-authored a book about her songs and writing process. 3 years ago we made some clips and wrote some material together. There's an album in the can that's waiting for her vocals.

A song about a girl named Napoleon

It's Just Been Confirmed

It's Just Been Confirmed they've been out all month without a sound    send artists to sketch their locations gospel singers for prayers and blood sent to investigate how we're living now they missed all deadlines while eating up funds rumors of mutinies amongst the squad silhouettes of bankers  ad agency start-ups while feelings of introverts and the sensitive have been crushed It appears as if  the lost poetry department  has in fact gone  AWOL

Everything Unsaid

In the sprawl

In the sprawl in the sprawl  cars are sharks trucks  don’t stop through miles only described as  nothing  at all can’t be home  bones in holes everywhere  you walk giving off heat windows smudged don't got no  camouflage  with me there's time to see moving patterns  on the wall doubts have grown  wings and arms what was once banal now feels hysterical 

The weekend is about rewriting, singing, waiting, editing, finding chord sequences, deleting, and more rewriting

inochi samba 現世 サンバ most you need  just seconds of few last more than a lifetime long some flavor the night one leaves a scar times you just  vanish with the dawn waking up to see if the song holds believing there's more  in the way it goes others can't think or see your way randoms will get you  lots more won't stay all appearing  from day to day as innocent  animals in pain

The One

The One  was working on the last one when the next one had arrived boss yelled “hurry up” you’d think we were all dumb and blind had to get a photograph at least keep the image in mind closest I’d come to perfection now out of sight almost alive one day I’ll get back to it one day I’ll get another chance my only palliative thinking about it with my hands I was dreaming of the next one when the last one lay dying  gave it all my medicine  all my income and it barely survived now I’m here with no one  and my time’s almost up without any consolation  I face a new world on my own

Suspicious Character

suspicious character pulled off the line no one’s buying your alibi who’s taped up your smile, suspicious character bombed the interview dating to eat for two  a request to change  your point of view on these  important matters something in your eyes makes us nervous looking outside at the day without a purpose  want to make sure you’re safe  before you hurt us  it’s how we’re living today nothing personal
