Away from Ordinary by Bëker
This song is based on a conversation I overheard in a restraunt. The father had just been released from prison and was meeting his son for the first time. It was a most difficult and painful situation, and so powerful. Again, just an observation with some empathy. It was written around 1993. I started recording around 2013 and finally finished a few days ago.

Lyrics
The smell of coffee fills the air
I sit in silence defiant of the child stare
A curiosity am I
Something he never knew or never asked why
How old are you son?
What grade are you going into
I hope that youve been good
And not too much trouble for mother
I wish that I was there
Seem to have lost my appetite
Wonder whats keeping me here from running in fright
I really dont know what to say
That will change all those years I ran away
CH
I wish that I was there
I wish that I was there

A solo project, that has been percolating for a long time (longer than one has fingers and toes). The madness is perhaps the manic side of Bëker's disfunctional bi-polar personality. Binary Drama is the first of this branding, written mostly in 2007, through the worst of times and later the best of times. It was a lazy project the refused to finish itself until now.
