Haunting Abraham (Borth Remix) (©2019 Anders/O’Bitz) Get inside tall and ill-formed An explosion of dread can’t cope Oh the sin and the fallen There’s a cause to dash all hope Open and see To follow the free This fall it’s not free oh no no The war there to see Much more is the fee A call to the free The horror to see Who calls allows this oh no no The fallen the free Much more is the fee Heart and head so well-formed So unlike the founding home Plan where free are the fallen Plan where horror has built this home This home Open and see To follow the free This fall it’s not free oh no no The war there to see Much more is the fee A call to the free The horror to see Who calls allows this oh no no The fallen the free Much more is the fee Oh how so war torn Oh not long ago This our home Out of horror born So horror torn and born not long ago Open and see To follow the free This fall it’s not free oh no no The war there to see Much more is the fee A call to the free The horror to see Who calls allows this oh no no The fallen the free Much more is the fee Open and see To follow the free This fall it’s not free oh no no The war there to see Much more is the fee A call to the free Who calls and then allows this oh no no The horror to see This horror of home This horror oh no

My Love (Borth Remix) (©2019 Anders/O’Bitz) She was young And I was much too old The other side of forty-five What a beauty I was not much so But her heart it could abide My love oh Our love it didn’t last too long My love now won’t say goodbye My love it helped her along Find a love better for her than mine Unrequited Mostly in one way We grew stronger, that was why She felt a duty But I kept her safe Through my kindness not desire Her love oh Our love it didn’t last too long My love now won’t say goodbye My love it helped her along Find a love better for her than mine Oh my love You could have made my life Oh find love So you can say goodbye To love my love To love my love Our love it didn’t last too long My love now won’t say goodbye My love it helped her along Find a love better for her than mine My love, my love My love it won’t say goodbye My love, my love My love it can’t say goodbye

Old Theory of Love (Borth Remix) (©2019 Anders/O’Bitz) It was Aristophanes And his old theory of love Told us how we look to find Our lost half for whole And we never realized ‘Til then the other could As we haunted tall and thin Entered each his soul Ah, Ah, ah ha, ha ha oh There was full astonishment So late for us to know Our extreme sense of empathy Was what made us whole We discovered so much more Than who he was and war We now know that this empathy That is what life’s for Ah, Ah, ha oh Ah, ah ha, ha oh oh Ah, ah ha, ha oh oh Wait! Does this all have to mean A violence starts our world Zeus cuts from our other half Into the void we’re hurled And what hope is there to find And be found before we’re gone And I know we have to be this violence To find be found as one Ah, ah ha, ha oh oh Ah, ah ha, ha oh oh Ah, ah ha, ha oh oh Ah, ah ha, ha oh oh

about

Bardo Hauntings is a collection of remixes of the twelve songs on American Bardo: the remixes are hauntings of the original songs.

Volume two of Bardo Hauntings is made up of Steven Jess Borth II remixes of six of the American Bardo songs.

George Saunders' novel, Lincoln in the Bardo, is an American Buddhist's yurei story that explores American history and many other hauntological subjects and themes.

American Bardo is our 2020 concept album where the songs are readings of this great novel's characters and hauntology. American Bardo was listed on Popmatters' list of top Americana albums for 2020.
