| Notes | Go On Listening is based on W. S. Merwin’s poem “To Maoli as the Year Ends”. Now that I think you no longer hear meyou go on listening to meas you used to listen to music old friend what are you hearingthat I do not hear though I listen through the light of thirty thousand daysyou still hear something that escapes me The two players listening closely to each other and the friendly relationship between them stems from Merwin’s poem. |
