about

"We Could've Made Films was first heard on a recording on my debut album in 1984, "Riding Double" by Wilfred N & the Grown Men. When we recorded that album, the song was done in a more pop style 'with a beat'.

For this album, "The Last Vibrations of Summer", I wanted to return to my memory of the original way that I used to perform it, before Wilfred N & the Grown Men existed. In the original, I was certainly influenced by the magic of MacArthur Park written by Jimmy Webb and recorded by Richard Harris.

I set about re-learning my song and recorded it anew. I subtly changed the title to "We Could Have Made Films" to make the distinction! I think I achieved what I was after here ... to make the song more the way I had originally intended it.

lyrics

We Could Have Made Films
by Wilfred Kozub

We could have made films
Our love, our movement so smooth
Everywhere beneath the empty skies
We sheep, like little lost sheep,
Cannot be found by our masters

We could have made films
Dressed in faded finery, poised
Dryly picturesque we sit silently
On stairs that meet the street

Watching nervous neon signs
Where the nightbugs frenzy and fry
And in the hot humidness
We avoid our sticky rooms
And go to the park

We could have made films
Between stops of breath
We soak in our existence and bed down
Exhausted then we sleep

Life unfolds and love will arise
Though like weathered sand fences
We bend in the wind
We’ll never give in
And the pictures only imitate
What we can intimate
All this our love and more
