hallo loves 

quick note to the londoners: looks like the vote was cast for sunday. save the night (the 12th) and i’ll put this fucker up on sale asap. may take a sec. 

meanwhile...greetings from the woods. neil and i had a whirlwind weekend at a conference and i have a head full of science and feelings. i’m ready to write and even if i’m not, here i go. i’m making good on this promise to write and record a song once a month and imma do it. 

i have a recording studio booked all day tomorrow, tuesday i’ll drive to wesleyan, and then - if all goes according to plan - i’ll record this song live on wednesday and michael pope will capture it on film. 

whatever It is. 

what will It be?

i have a lot of things written on scraps from the weekend, about power, about harvey weinstein, about the cold, about perception, about the nuremberg trials, about everything. 

instead of replicating what i did the last few ninja songs, i’m going to ask you to get more specific. 

and since i have about two hours free between now and the time i go into the studio - which means two hours to read all the comments - i’m going to try to give you guys an economy limit. 

SO 

here you go. 

in LESS THAN 50 WORDS, tell me this:

what are you most afraid of right now ?

it can be anything...

personal

political

old

new 

big 

small

strange

etc

and you can answer as poetically or literally as you want....

whatever it means to you. 

obviously if the answers are just “death” and “climate change“ i won’t have fuck all to work with. 

so go. 

what are you afraid of...right now. 

don't think twice 

just comment - i’m reading. 

i love you

xx

ps if you feel moved to comment on a comment, please feel free. just know that i’m limiting the original comments so that i don’t have 7 hours of reading to do before heading into the studio.

I'm afraid (at 57) that I'll CONTINUE to die a slow death at my 9-5 job instead of pursuing art/finding my true self.

I'm afraid that I'll never be able to live in the US (my homeland) again because I have a permanent ostomy and will always need health care.

Trigger Warning. These comments are one long stream of triggers. I thought my life had settled into a moderate spot of safety, but reading these outpourings of despair dread, have undermined my complacency. So I'm going to stop and go outside in the Fall sunshine and fucking sing to the birds.

I'm terrified of getting fat and old,ending up wasting away in a little village where drinking in the local pub is the only thing I have to look forward to every week.Sad I know, but it scares me.

Of surviving the horrors to come and not being able to protect my loved ones.

I'm afraid it's too late. It's too late to be a part of life and too late to hold love close to my body. Always too late.

I am in a polygamous relationship with my partners; 11 and 6 years respectively. I'm worried that if their families ever found out. They'd think I don't love them.

I'm afraid of my family's history of mental illness, my mom's side. She lost her life to breast cancer, but it was ultimately her mental illness that killed her long before she was diagnosed with cancer, but she had no desire to fight it, as it was her way out. I stayed by her side and watched her suffer, since she had no one but me. I'm a healthy single mom, take care if myself, practice yoga, I live dancing, love my work, and love being a mom. But there's always that underlying fear that creeps up inside that the big bad will come for me, someday.

I have ongoing nightmares of someone walking into my school one day and shooting my students and me.

I know I`m late at answering this post (I try to read and follow everything you post and do and it gives me inspiration I`m just so far behind), but right now I`m afraid of starting. I have lots to work with, but this year started really really slow and horrible so the sounds I could have worked on is not becoming yet.
