Fiendish in life Dinners alright Fight night is on Trapped in a box Paradox Plastic on my lawn House in divide Mentally fried Save me from this rock Florentine Wine Silly old flames Reaching new claims Save me from this lot Feeling so free Counting to three Now you’re in the stall I know what is right Can’t tell a lie Maybe you’ll fly by Find a new life Racketeer, dated beer Handed out for a dime Silly boys play with toys and thumb their noses at me Let’s see It doesn’t make sense In modern times This is no place for weak minds Dinners alright Good cherry pie Fight night is on House in divide Mentally fried Save me from this rock Quarantine Life It doesn’t sit well Walking all alone I don’t sleep well With all this going on It doesn’t sit well With all this going on I don’t sleep well Laying all alone But we’ll get through it

I wanna downsize my life I’m tired of all these people Climbing up the steeples of their own designs It would be fine If it were just me and you I don’t know who you are I don’t know where you are, but I want to be there I sit and stair Lonely in my chair I wanna downsize my life Stop trying to be understood You’re the only one who would It’s better that way If I, ever see the day

composer/viola: Lysander Jaffe "Shepherd Song" is based on elements of Georgian polyphonic singing, with influences from other forms of polyphony (renaissance motets, Kutev-style Bulgarian arrangements, Debussy). I originally wrote it for 5 voices, using Georgian nonsense syllables as text, and I recorded this all-viola version during quarantine in western Massachusetts. The folk song buried in this piece is "Metskhvaris Simghera" ("Shepherd Song"), hence the name. lysanderjaffe.com

about

Here it is! * THE BIG FLATTENING * is a 3-volume compilation of music by NEC students & alumni. This is a fundraiser – 100% of the proceeds will go towards mutual aid coronavirus relief organizations across Boston.

These mutual aid networks are truly grassroots efforts - not receiving formal funding, run by-and-for the people they serve, sprouting out of relationships between neighbors donating their resources and skills to support each other. Funds donated to the mutual aid networks will then be available for people requesting financial assistance, or will be put towards the purchase of food and supplies to be distributed directly in those neighborhoods.

Here are links to the mutual aid groups:

Dorchester: tinyurl.com/y8sdgnv9
Medford and Somerville: mutualaidmamas.com
Jamaica Plain and Roxbury: tinyurl.com/y7tjovxz
Allston and Brighton: tinyurl.com/y8svs5n5
Quincy: tinyurl.com/ycon73n4

The goal of this compilation is for students and alumni to share what they've been working on with each other while simultaneously generating funds to give back to communities in Boston. It is now known that low-income communities of color are hardest hit by coronavirus (tinyurl.com/ya4rd28x). These are often the same communities that are routinely priced out of their neighborhoods by the process of gentrification. We recognize that transient student populations are part of this process of displacement, and we can start to give back by leveraging our networks of friends and family to redistribute wealth to people most impacted by this horrible situation. It is a small gesture of solidarity that while this virus does not discriminate, not everyone is equally impacted by it- so let's share what we love to do while raising funds for people who need it.

Organized by Olivia W-B and Raef Sengupta
