Crazy Ways

Another original song performed by me - with my big hat! The first verse was written in 1991 but I added a better chorus and new lyrics.

More YouTube

I've been busy recording some more videos for my You Tube channel

Here's a performance of my poem 'cause and effect' - previously called 'Generation Now' on this blog.



It's quite an agressive poem - normally I prefer to be more tranquila. - 'tranquila' is my favourite word - its spanish for a sort of mixure between relaxed , tranquil, calm etc and can be used in so many ways - maybe laid back is a better translation.

YouTube channel

After much technical mucking about I managed to make a video and upload it to my new YouTube channel. It's a very rough performance of a new song I've wriiten - the visual side is very basic - and I need a lot more gravity for the last line - but hey its difficult in one take :)



So despite it's failings - go on and give it a five star - and add a nice comment :) - and become my YouTube friend and subsribe while your at it ;)

I plan to put some performances of my poetry up - but I'm going to need to get editing - and film some relatively interesting visuals.

And, if you're wondering, Ashtewan is my name; Stephen in Tsu'ti'jil.

Hope you enjoy :)
cheers
Steve

We; The People

They; The Camera
under lights; with presence ask
The misbegotton question;
The loaded word; The unfair skew.
We; The People, have forgotton;
unsure we even knew; we see,
disguised, the adoration,
The blatent norm; The few.
Here plays the random playground ridicule;
Here drum the endless tit-less tacs;
Here, with unquestioned coolness,
They; The Camera
Act.
