The Forest

The Forest  -  Pan Thistle, 2020

Back before the days of glory
we were crazy and divine
in the forest
we ran with the wild
and the holy

and the big wheel, the big wheel, it kept on turning
the truth before our eyes, it was like a dream
in the night, it blew our mind until the day came
and we believed the only way for us
was in the forest

Come the day of wine and roses
something broke down in our heart
deep inside
the joy was gone
we'd left the forest
and the balance wheel, the balance wheel, it kept on going
back and forth and back again, forever blind
and we make new plans for a better world, times are changing
but you know, I'd give it all up for just one day
back in the forest

I shouldn't let it bring me down
for the mind will take me there and the view will be the same
At the next turn of the wheel
the path is straight ahead and it leads right back
into the forest

PARTHENOGENESIS 4 July 2023 Parthenogenesis was born in the fall of 1978, but the story begins at a disco-club in Ilioupolis, Kanaria Sq. about a year earlier. At the time, it was normal practice for club owners to have one or more live rock nights during the week as the disco boys and girls went dancing on Fridays and Saturdays.

We had a good chat over a few beers and about a month later, I decided to leave 'Crystal Faces' and join 'Airborne'. For almost a year, we played mostly covers of popular rock songs. We also tried to write some prog-rock stuff of our own, we were all big 'Pink Floyd' fans, but it was not really working. Then, in the summer of 1978, after a falling out with the guitarist of the group, the three remaining members Alberto Levis, George Makridis, and myself (then, Takis Polychronopoulos...

Losing Control Again

Losing Control Again  -  Pan Thistle, 2025 Losing my mind, losing my soul Ain't no way out of this man made hole Go round in circles, off the deep end Losing control again   Envelope face, envelope noise Rolling and shaking broken toys A Justice failed their own polygraph test Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me   Smiling dictator, warfare state Men of the hour, iniquity gains Gaping loopholes in ethical traits I'm losing control again   Testing my faith, a deal with pain Tables are turned, I'm losing anyway A campaign of fear, sponsored by the state Losing control again   And I would if you let me But you won't forget me There! They are selling again The same Patent Fake concern They drive me round the bend   Weathering vessel caught in a storm - with no end We are unable to hold a course - Captain Where? Lightning stabs out of dark clouds - boiling overhead And I'm losing control again   Fine Nereides ...
