about
This split 7" single is Rachael and ICHI's first joint release, a milestone in their musical relationship and a taster of what's in store from them as individuals. Rachael's song, 'Make A Sentence', pulses with a pastiche of percussive objects and playful vocal lines and features ICHI on the typewriter. It is about the important role that communication plays in our lives so that we may "reap the joys of camaraderie". It's a theme particularly poignant on this split release as when they met neither Rachael nor ICHI could speak the other's language.
lyrics
MAKE A SENTENCE
Put your lips together, make a consonant, make a vowel, k k k k k k come on talk
Make a syllable, make a sentence, come on use the muscle, k k k k k k come on talk
You do not fit into the mould, well that is good so k k k k k k come on talk
I`m an alien, you`re an alien, we are aliens so k k k k k k come on talk
If it does not come naturally then you will have to work harder initially
but then you can reap all the joys of camaraderie and see you are not alone
Put your lips together, make a consonant, make a vowel
Make a syllable, make a sentence, come on use the muscle
You do not fit into the mould, well that is good
I`m an alien, you`re an alien, we are aliens so k k k k k k come on talk
k k k k k k come on talk
If it does not come naturally then you will have to work harder initially
but then you can reap all the joys of camaraderie and see you are not alone
not alone no no not alone
not alone no no no
