about

The first four lines of Celibacy lived with me for a long time, like a rhythm in my mind when I thought about the complexities of sexual relationships. When I a few years later sat down and gave them melody and more context, I found myself soothed by the sounds and the soft singing, the kind of soothing quality that being alone can have.

lyrics

Once a day I think of celibacy
Choosing it more decisively
Might give a sense of serenity
To close my eyes to possibility

Once a day I think of celibacy
Being my own it feels like being free
Having nothing but my company
And I'm not hurting anybody

No pain but feeling lonely

Once a day I think of celibacy
Fuck you and your policy
To say that we shouldn't enjoy to be
Exploring all aspects of our humanity

But

Once a day I think of celibacy
Nothing will ever be messy
I'll turn them down with sympathy
Talking but no ending will be happy

No pain but feeling lonely

(written in 2016-2020)
