Soldier 04:23
I am not a soldier and I will not fight your religious wars I am not a faction I am not a creed I will not cut for nationality I have not seen and I will not go, but its so close... we stand with the workers we stand with police we stand for all. when you cut me you cut him you cut they you cut us all I have not seen and I will not go but its so close. we stand for all who are not brave enough we stand for all.

Growing Old 03:16
Your story unfolds like a paper with your smile taking center of page and although the crowd sighs at those deep woven eyes your words are all lost in the rain I don't need you for reason, don't tug at the cotton so tangled between you and I we're the boat in the storm, the fire that gives warmth the drum that keeps us alive don't hide your love in the darkness where footsteps fade into cold the hay in the stable can shelter us darling its here I wish to grow old Your father left early this morning I watch from behind the barn door as you raised your head from that soft yellow bed the angels lit up in your eyes I know it was you who silenced the birds who drove the beast from the land you're the tears of the joyful the strength of the mother still waiting in her white dressing gown don't hide your love in the darkness where footsteps fade into cold the hay in the stable can shelter us darling its here I wish to grow old I know nothing of struggle my life has been blessed like the strength of the flowers in spring we are nothing unspoken we are no stone unturned we are the breathing that ushers you in And what of that mother still waiting? her tears soak her through to her skin we are the words on the skyline the unfaltering sunshine the love that we send her from him don't hide your love in the darkness where footsteps fade into cold the hay in the stable can shelter us darling its here I wish to grow old its with you I wish to grow old.

Interlude #1 01:46
With this weight I'll surely find I to see There's no weight in tomorrow there's no waiting for me Triangle sun in your Pythagorean sky can't you see? That were troubled by nothing, in that old chestnut tree When the echo hit your ear did the fear disappear for the both of you Did your gold light the way for you? Was the sky not but clearly blue?

make my bed 02:42
Hello you long time no see I thought that you lost faith in me over dark bridge orange night fires my head swims in an ocean of desires but the farmer still picks up the pen my friend the cockerel crows again a thousand times that you told me but my legs still cant catch what my eyes can not see oh lover please ask me this evening ...lets write letters and wait for the dawn. don't sow seeds of sorrow in the land that we borrow oh lover please don't let me know walk by lamp light cats by my side they're my bredrin heres where we reside i'm comfortable waking with thee you're like my shadow - take nothing from me oh lover please ask me this evening ...lets write letters and wait for the dawn. don't sow seeds of sorrow in the land that we borrow oh lover please don't let me know lying on my back bloomsbury square cyclists pushing through the cool morning air a constant race against the moon we all run to play our tune a thousand times that you told me but my legs still cant catch what my eyes can not see ''' oh lover please ask me this evening lets sow seeds and follow this land that we borrow oh lover please tell me you know.

about

This is George Rae's first solo Release. Working as a poet, musician, sculptor, video and performance artist. perhaps you may read this information as an indicator to a lack of specificity. However, I hope to continue developing in all of the fields of work listed above.
the work follows ideas about the possibly of perception and/or manipulation of space. I am asking questions about what one believes to be possible, in their own reality and the collective environment around them. In recent the performances ‘_____ possibly blue’ these questions are asked by a ‘Warhol suited’ person, who is bluntly questioning the legitimacy of spacial function. in the wider context of the work, Possibly Blue is the beginning of an exploration into urban spacial liberty informed by cultural tradition, geography and meteorology.
I have been entirely self-supporting for 7 years, working as a fabricator, artist assistant and carpenter which has enhanced my range of skills but has taken too much time from my practice.
There are many elements of myself which I feel are deeply Romantic and I believe one of the reasons for this, is that I am using Romanticism as an escape from my current engagement with Capitalism. I feel a great pressure to succumb to the expectations of some others and deny myself the continued connection with creativity. I do not feel I am alone in feeling this. As I understand it, Capitalism is tied to the contemporary scientific methodology of the the western world. Specifically, a Science which holds a mechanistic view of all life, unable to question its own dogmas and attach itself to the notion of the Soul. In light of this, Romanticism becomes the embodiment of the ‘unquantifiable’ that is sorely missed by the majority of our society.
