"Don't Idle Engine" was born from a weathered sign on a brick building in Redhook, Brooklyn—a simple message to a bus driver at the end of his route: "Turn off the motor." Beneath that command, I heard something greater: a reflection on our environmental conundrum, and a quiet call to resist idle hands —to keep the creative engine running - consciously, and with care.
The Way I
The lyrics are from a passage from Franz Kafka's diaries:
I write differently from the way I speak,
I speak differently from the way I think,
I think differently from the way I should think ...
and so it goes on into the darkest depths of infinity.
