The Dandelion Fields - Deep Transitions 05:22
lyrics
buy track
Modernization nurtured the development of a specific practice of science and technology politics in which science and technology should be stimulated as much as possible. They are seen as value-free tools to bring progress, material wealth, health, and a better life. Modernization and Capitalism turned science and technology into the Holy Grail, the lever of riches, the harbinger of progress and the measure of man. During the First Deep Transition the responsibility for the negative impacts of innovation was transferred to the nation-states. They had to provide regulation and arrange the distribution of wealth and income through taxation. However, the combination of promotion of innovation and economic growth did not seem to be able anymore to address the problems of a world in transition: poverty, inequality, climate change and many others. This institutional failure is at the heart of the crisis of capitalism. And it is for this reason science and technology are central to the needed Deep Transition, not because they can fix problems, but because the emergence and institutionalizing of a new way of embedding science and technology in society could help to shape a new form of inclusive development. Inclusive because more actors and factors will be included in the assessment and development of one of the central motors of capitalism: innovation.

Resisting the norm Fighting for change Take the first step now Towards a different tomorrow Steady your hand Steady your mind Steady your hand Steady your mind Take the first step now Towards a different tomorrow A revolution of values A revolution of truth Find your own voices Resist the old tales Better future better choices Steady your hand Steady your mind Steady your hand Steady your mind Find your own voices Resist the old tales Better choices Resist the old tales

lyrics

We are the daughters of Congo Dark clouds casting their shadows This is our story of war, death, despair Upon our beautiful lands We are the daughters of Congo We’ve been raped We’ve been murdered Our parents don’t want us Or they are dead Our families destroyed by greed We are the daughters of Congo Used as a weapon of war Taking our diamonds and gold Dark clouds casting their shadows We are the daughters of Congo Open your eyes and see the world Open your eyes and see the world See what you did to the daughters of Congo…

about

“Letting Go Of The Old World” is a split album featuring music from artists This Darkness of Mine and The Dandelion Fields.
This Darkness Of Mine is the personal art project of Vagelis Moschos - audio engineer, producer, sound designer, poet and musician. He has been part of artistic teams, bands, post production studios and theatrical plays both on the technical and creative side.

The whole first side is one epic spiralling song from This Darkness Of Mine, blending elements of ambient and noise music. The soundscapes take the listener on a fascinating journey starting from an Odyssey 2001 type of voyage, floating in space, to a stressful landing on an alien planet and finally to a blissful exploration of some peaceful seaside where you can let go and become yourself.

The Dandelion Fields is the solo project of Vasilis Gkogkidis - musician and graphic designer - where he writes the basic melodies of all songs and then invites musicians from the Greek underground scene to add their personality to the songs following a co-creational approach to making music.

The second side features 5 songs from The Dandelion Fields, each song with slightly different influences and inspirations, ranging from ambient to post rock and atmospheric music. Excellent musicians from all over the Greek underground music scene offer their performances to this collection of songs. Music and lyrics work together to bring forth one underlying question: can humanity move towards a more sustainable and equitable society?

The Dandelion Fields Thessaloniki, Greece

The Dandelion Fields play minimal music born out of the need to communicate. Genres like post rock, acoustic, drone, ambient serve as a vessel for my melodies.
