How Do You Do? Do You feel imbued with some new Emotions that you cannot control, Yes, you’re doomed! Anxiety increases You seem to be unpleased As everything falls apart How Do you do? You seem kind of moody, don’t you? Could it be a loop Of certain thoughts that drive you insane? Til you loose it All at once! You seem Stressed!!! Anxiety increases You seem to be unpleased As everything falls apart You try and care With all of your heart It doesn’t help much If you’re smart Ohh! The agony is large Ev’rything falls in pieces Do not give up You need this! At least that is my thesis Do as I say You’ll see its worth it do it keep it going until it eases Oh you sure must be Sick of all these speeches From inside and outside your head Stop it! Quit it! How Do You Do?! Do You feel imbued with some new Emotions that you cannot control, Yes, you’re doomed!

"Shambhala is a particular principal and particular ideal And also once upon a time it was a kingdom Which is based on a nation of a total enlightened society" (Chögyam Trungpa) I'm stumbling along the road Just wa- wondering along- and about Whereto I do want to go - I've no clue (do I...?) Which one of my dreams I'll be heading to "The world is not gonna be saved purely by religion alone" (Chögyam Trungpa) A sacred place among human race Oh I am craving for locating Ataxic gait is my way to approach this state It's a myth they say I hear them calling it Shambhala Mystic places Blissful traces That I'll chase, it's Cliche, touche I'll survey my decay While I'm holding on To my disarray

Forward, side, and close and back and side and close Dancing is like a fever Burning up from inside One of us is the leader Guide us through this low tide From the right to the left side Keeping our heads up high Moving in the same motion There are no commotions

about

HALA Rotterdam, Netherlands

With shocking effect and energy HALA explores a diverse theatrical interplay based on the vocalist Helene Matthia's fairytale-like compositions. Their music sounds nearly absurdist and evil, and scatters from progressive rock, avant-pop and (free) improvisation to avant-garde and cabaret.
