Behind the Music
Are the details in the fabric?
Welcome to the "Behind the Music" page. Here you find an ever expanding list of stories/items that inspired some of Jason's songs. This section will start small and hopefully grow over time. On these pages you will only find inspiration which Jason has made public. If information has not been given by Jason directly via interviews, etc, we will respect his privacy and not post the information here.
On Love, In Sadness
This song was inspired by a poem written by Jenny Keene, a friend of Jason's. The original poem can be found below:
Woe, love is brittle and falsified,
so? All might not be well, so
We'll all lay awake at night and pore over rain
listen in like sin
this melancholer, it exists
pale and fine
I can't dismiss so flippantly
though I'll try till I die
love, and it's ghostly indecision
shall thinly
through hallways and rivers, unwinded
endure
Tonight, Not Again
This song was inspired by a poem written by Jenny Keene, a friend of Jason's. The original poem can be found below:
The night rested her dry hand on my flushed cheek-
It smelled of Childhood remnants
of dusted weeping willow and sunbaked chaparral sage
The Clouds, wisped and shredded by calico Cat claws
were vast and quick
(I imagined them sweeping past your plate-glass-
was the past night on your thoughts?)
This time, like every other time,
I had believed I would never fall for
another Sweet Boy
with sequined seafoam eyes
ocean-lapping voice
Smile coy and luminescent as the widest constellation
and the clouds giggle and wag like silvered eyelashes-
as they slice the vacant-eyed Moonface asunder
because here I am
(once again) (not the last time)
unable to inhale all of the evening's niches and solaces
awkward, a purple wound to the bone of the neighborhood park
cobblestone-jointed and silhouette-sea blooded
All by myself
tonight. (again.)
