Forgetfulness by Michael Brückner
82. FORGETFULNESS (2006 to 2007)
Close to the final touches of my box set "No Single Single" in 2006, I found an unlabeld archive CD-R with four or five tracks on, which I never seemd to have heard before. And still - they sounded somewhat like me, apart from some guitar playing I couldn't identify...
After some hours of severe relistening and trying to remember, it slowly occoured to me that one day not too long before that find, I had taken my old, almost not tunable electric guitar and messed around with it while drinking a bottle of wine (or two...).
Eventually, one of these tunes became the title track of this album, I also used two more from that CD-r and added a couple of "lone" tracks that did fit well into the slightly optimistic style of those forgotten tracks. Also, the lovely Cilia di Ponte lent her voice to three tracks - and I myself "sang" on another (with the help of a vocoder).
P.S. Oh, the double irony! When - a few years ago - I uploaded my back catalogue to Bandcamp, I forgot to include "Forgetfulness" and only realised it much later... ;-)

I sleep in the day,
sleeping the day away,
stay awake in the night,
and sleep in the bright daylight...
(You know what, guys?!?
There's nothing more exhausting
than sleeping all day...)
