What Took You So Long What Took PATRICKRYDMAN You So Long STEREO FRCD054 SHE’S BACK AGAIN GINGERBREAD MAN THE BAD GUYS ALWAYS LOSE THE FEELING (THAT WE LABEL LOVE) Good morning, sir I met the Gingerbread Man Aren’t the stars about to fall I’ve been told the heart is just a muscle and it What seems to be the matter Last night in an abandoned street Can’t you feel the magic wonder of it all pumps your blood Ah yes, it’s her He was tall and tan Maybe fortune, maybe fame It keeps your body warm when it is getting cold She left last week and now it’s all a mess Telling truths while stomping his feet Everyone will know your name It’s simply a machine that doesn’t stop Only emptiness That’s the game Night and day, it keeps on beating patiently for Brown in a blue tie Still, one problem less Nothing ventured, baby – nothing gained zero pay Talking to the red sky You read the paper, nothing has happened And beaten up by pain and fear it will remain His words made me shiver So better start to strut your stuff It is all the same Your faithful servant, moving every drop As he kept rolling his eyes Once you get them hooked they cannot get enough People are stupid, yeah they’re quite deranged If anyone can it’s the Gingerbread Man Fool them once and fool them twice But here’s the deal – my heart has changed Seems they’ll never change Listen to some good advice: my mind You catch your breath and sigh The Gingerbread Man Feed them lies And now I feel instead of thinking all of the time Walked with me down the beat up lane ’Cause she’s back again Rig the tables and let’s roll the dice He was showing me things Logical, that’s how I want the world to be Feel her heart brush up against your back again That made me wonder if I was still sane Vegas, eat your heart out, here’s the news Emotional, that’s how my heart has set the scene You stop and turn, you crash and burn The greatest show on earth with elegant cues It’s comical, I really thought that I could rise above You’ll never learn to say goodbye He was brown in a blue tie Stars and stripes forever, then the blues This quite sensational feeling that we label love No, she’s back again Talking to the red sky And in the end the bad guys always lose She’s got you back in the sack again His words made me shiver The feeling that we label love If anything, it’s comforting As he kept rolling his eyes The balance is so sensitive The way that I was created from the start A familiar ring: she’s back again If anyone can it’s the Gingerbread Man Everybody knows that something’s gotta give A man who’s really free, and doesn’t have to hide Keep us hoping one more day So many times you’ve tried to end it Night became dawn his heart Hope won’t keep the truth at bay Going through the lines, and you’ve pretended And I found my way home The way I was created, created from the start And you will pay Saying every word as if she really heard Through no will of my own For all your dirty laundry one fine day But here’s the thing – my heart plays tricks on me But that was just inside your mind It all seemed like a dream It starts to sing whenever you are next to me But as I fell asleep Vegas, eat your heart out, here’s the news Now she’s back again I could still see him: The greatest show on earth with elegant cues So baby come to me, I will surrender everything Feel her heart brush up against your back again Stars and stripes forever, then the blues and you will see You stop and turn, you crash and burn Brown in a blue tie And in the end the bad guys always lose The one I was originally meant to be You’ll never learn to say goodbye Talking to the red sky I’ll let it go if push will come to shove No, she’s back again His words made me shiver A Kodak moment gleaming in the sun I’ve got the secret key, the feeling that we label love She’s got you back in the sack again As he kept rolling his eyes The piper plays, the dirty deed is surely done If anything, it’s comforting Brown in a blue tie And everyone will run The feeling that we label love A familiar ring: she’s back again Talking to the red sky Ready to enlighten me The karma of love, the choices we make With anything but lies The fullness of time, the mending of bonds If anyone can it’s the Gingerbread Man that break You can’t catch the Gingerbread Man... What Took PATRICKRYDMAN You So Long I was here all along I counted the stars and every grain of sand The sun and the moon sang a sad old song and the moon turned slowly in my hand WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG I SEE YOU CRYING DON’T BREAK DOWN THE WAKE OF YOUR SMILE What took you so long I’m going up in my balloon Get up again Memories hide, memories show I was here all along Where I can see it all Time to wake up and make up your mind Memories hold what I can’t let go I counted the stars and every grain of sand The petty things all fade from view Slouch to the bathroom Just like your face, just like your eyes The sun and the moon sang a sad old song And earth becomes a ball And look in the mirror half blind Like the lingering summer skies And the earth turned slowly in my hand I see us like we were before Doze in the shower If you really want to know You had things to do Remember, way back when Get dried off and step in your clothes Would I choose you today Lots of dreams to go through When no farewell meant never more Just how you keep it at bay If you really need to know I know that your heart’s been dealt a blow or two And you were my friend Day in day out, who knows This is what I will say I missed you so while you were gone I’m going back to then Your life is just a senseless overdose You’ll win my heart anywhere, anytime But now you’re here and nothing can go wrong I see you crying, I see you crying as you say goodbye Don’t break down ’Cause I can cry in the wake of your smile So tell me dear, what took you so long I see you crying, I see you crying as you say It’s a kind of warning The touch you’ll feel in the night will be mine goodbye to me: Don’t break down You let me fly in the wake of your smile Your love to be It’s a kind of life The wake of your smile Don’t break down So many things I should have said I’m going up like a balloon Though you feel it coming So much I could have done I won’t stop ’til I hit the moon Don’t break down, don’t break down Memories lost inside my head If you forgive a figure of speech Those days are dead and gone Just do your duty I’m high in the clouds and I’m out of reach While wearing that disciplined frown But now I see it differently If you really want to know Knowing you cannot for even one second I’ve got a better view Why I am acting strange Look down inside at the darkness that you hide I’m going higher, grey clouds scatter and skies are blue If you really need to know I’m coming back to you Don’t break down Maybe I can explain It’s a kind of warning I see you crying, I see you crying as you say goodbye You’ll win my heart anywhere, anytime Don’t break down I see you crying, I see you crying as you say ’Cause I can cry in the wake of your smile It’s a kind of life goodbye to me: The touch you’ll feel in the night will be mine Don’t break down Your love to be You let me fly in the wake of your smile Though you feel it coming The wake of your smile Higher still, where I can see it all Don’t break down, don’t break down Higher still, the big things grow so small Keep remembering, love’s the reason why March on through the desert of the dead we’re here I see you crying Just listen to the order in your head Keep remembering, and it will never disappear Te veo llorando March on through the desert of the dead It’s all so clear Just follow the order in your head I see you crying, I see you crying as you say goodbye I see you crying, I see you crying as you say goodbye to me: Your love to be What Took PATRICKRYDMAN You So Long HEART OF MIDNIGHT SOLDIER SONG SHIPWRECK IN THE SAND IT’S NOT OVER YET Like some stranger on the corner no one knows I’ll be strong, I’ll be brave Like a memory, like a melody that lingers In your eyes I still can see the fire my name Your shipwrecked soul I will save It’s eluding me, slowly slipping through my fingers The one that will devour and then forget ’Cause when a heart’s down on its luck they turn Like a soldier with armor on I can feel it fade away Something reaches in and takes me higher the other way I’ll keep going until day is done Just a passing phrase, a solitary comment This is how I know everything is set I’ve been looking from the outside, trying to get in And I’m in a daze, catch my breath in quiet Baby, just push go And through the thunder, through the bullets I’ll Now I’ve got darkness as my shelter and stars to torment It’s not over, it’s not over yet be riding softly sing Never losing face, always riding out the storm Made of love I can’t be torn apart Nothing in this life will last forever ’Cause in the heart of midnight when the blues c And I will find you even though you will be hiding A subconscious flood, drowning out my every We will have to part from all we’ve met ome out to play ’Cause I can

  • Oral History Interview with William T. Wiley, 1997 October 8-November 20
    Oral history interview with William T. Wiley, 1997 October 8-November 20 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview PAUL KARLSTROM: Smithsonian Institution, an interview with William T. Wiley, at his studio in Woodacre, California, north of San Francisco. The date is October 8, 1997. This is the first session in what I hope will be a somewhat extensive series. The interviewer for the archives is Paul Karlstrom. Okay, here we go, Bill. I've been looking forward to this interview for quite a long time, ever since we met back in, it was the mid-seventies, as a matter of fact. At that time, in fact, I visited right here in this studio. We talked about your papers and talked about sometime doing an interview, but for one reason or another, it didn't happen. Well, the advantage to that, as I mentioned earlier, is that a lot has transpired since then, which means we have a lot more to talk about. Anyway, we can't go backwards, and here we are. I wanted to start out by setting the stage for this interview. As I mentioned, Archive's [of American Art] interviews are comprehensive and tend to move along sort of biographical, chronological structure, at least it gives something to follow through. But what I would like to do first of all, just very briefly, is kind of set the stage, and by way of an observation that I would like to make, which is also, I think, a compliment.

    Virtual It's About Time Writers' Reading Series, Meeting 371 00:00:01 Peggy I'm very happy that for reading number 371, we've had some incredibly talented writers from this year's 2020, Jack Straw Writers Program - JackStraw.org. Our first reader is Rob Arnold, Rob Arnold’s poems have appeared in Ploughshares, Gettysburg Review, Poetry Northwest, Hyphen, RED INK, Yes Poetry, and The Ocean State Review, among others. His work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and has received support from the Somerville Arts Council and Artist Trust. He is a Program Director and Curator of Events at Hugo House, Rob. 00:00:46 Rob Thank you so much. I'm going to read a long poem which sort of feels apropos for this moment with the pandemic. It's a meditation on love and loss and distance which seems really sadly appropriate for our times. So these are nine part poem called "The Channel." 00:01:11 One. We had come again to the longshore to look outward as if into the depths of memory. We're alone. House lights burn with secrecies where the black tide raised and the moon's negation filtered down. How long could we return here? Hoping our solace would come back to us. The naked waves distant aurora reflecting in the moisture on our bodies. One by one, our beacons have gone out until the beachside arc. It was like this every time the two of us coming together, cupped in the illusions that played over the water's skin, like moonlight or like something unnamable that passed between us, swiftly, before we could control ourselves and was gone.

One of the many misconception about country music is that its audience is strictly southern and rural; my northern urban working class family listened exclusively to country music. As a teenager I was was more interested in Motown than Nashville, but by the time I reached my early thirties I had became a serious country music fan.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Transformation of The Musical: The Hybridization of Tradition and Contemporary A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Yu-Chun Hu 2014 Copyright by Yu-Chun Hu 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Transformation of The Musical: The Hybridization of Tradition and Contemporary by Yu-Chun Hu Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Ian Krouse, Chair Music and vision are undoubtedly connected to each other despite opera and film. In opera, music is the primary element, supported by the set and costumes. The set and costumes provide a visual interpretation of the music. In film, music and sound play a supporting role. Music and sound create an ambiance in films that aid in telling the story. I consider the musical to be an equal and reciprocal balance of music and vision. More importantly, a successful musical is defined by its plot, music, and visual elements, and how well they are integrated. Observing the transformation of the musical and analyzing many different genres of concert music, I realize that each new concept of transformation always blends traditional and contemporary elements, no matter how advanced the concept is or was at the time. Through my analysis of three musicals, I shed more light on where this ii transformation may be heading and what tradition may be replaced by a new concept, and vice versa. My monograph will be accompanied by a musical work, in which my ultimate goal as a composer is to transform the musical in the same way.
