in Apartment Eye
From ANDRAS JONES: Welcome to the first of a set of 8 from the Radio8Vault. Some of these will complete conversations from our first 8 episodes and some will provide context for the material we’ll be covering in the next 8. Today’s was recorded on February 22, 2017 with singer-songwriter VEDA HILLE. Back then I was trying to produce R8B as a web series in my apartment in Olympia. I’d been trying to get Viggo on the show for years. We worked together back in the late 80’s on a film called “Tripwire”. After the shoot I introduced him to my agents, one of whom is still his manager. We all re-connected when “Captain Fantastic” premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival, which led to this. Listen close. You’ll hear the birds in the background.

Luckylucky
(Lucklucky lucklucky lucky lucky luck…)
There is the place you know
There is the place you don’t know
Curtain number 1, curtain number 1
(You are blind, blind, blind)
There’s where I did this
There’s where I did that
It took thirty years to draw this map
And now what do you see
(You are blind, blind, blind)
The city or your map of the city
(You are blind, blind, blind)
The city or your life in the city
Get up every day
Crawl out of your cave
(You are blind, blind, blind)
Battle with the memories
The wall of you the bears cannot get through
The wall of you the bears cannot get through
The wall of you
You need the air
You need the freedom
You need to pit yourself against the hardship of the world
(Lucklucky lucklucky lucky lucky luck…)
There is the place you know
There is the place you don’t know
Curtain number 1, curtain 1
(You are blind, blind, blind)
You’ve pissed on trees, you’ve beaten paths
It took thirty years to draw this map
And now what do you see?
(You are blind, blind, blind)
The city or your map of the city?
(You are blind, blind, blind)
The city or your life in the city?
This is where we are
Are you ready
What was, what is, and what shall be
City of destiny
(You are blind, blind, blind)
City of destiny
(You are blind, blind, blind)
City of destiny
Grab your coat and your popular music
We’re taking it to the streets
