Description
In typical Memphis Pencils fashion, this song - found on the Art Amiss 13 compilation - is equal parts whim and sincerity, and includes lyrics in a tongue not native to its singer, Martin Bemberg (this time it is Turkish).
Lyrics
This blinding firmness Bothers this furnace It's tampering with words and Dampening this dervish. Half spheres from you Your caravan-bluebirds Are patterning up new quirk Flattering with few verbs. Distance may freeze frames, Aşkim, Oh, but it won't have me Because it won't be like home, So it can't have me On a prosaic loan. Aşkim, seni seviyorum. Smiling mandates Glisten like handshakes As you are choked yet yawning Whispering and fawning Your tongue so Turkish, Whispering firmness, "If love predates this longing, Which new age is dawning?"
