So now you have it (Summer of Lust) on CD for the first time, with its original beauty and a couple bonus tracks. I've been listening to it this evening as I've written these words. It still has a beauty and charm; it is Jeff Kelly and Joe Ross when they were simply young guys making the best and coolest music they could make. TD 2012

This year we got around to Happy Halloween! In 2014, plain and simple – this is Joe’s baby. He picked the songs. He picked the order. He wrote the liner notes. He designed the back cover and kibitzed on the rest of it. He even paid 20 bucks for a video in 1984 or '85 that we are going to use to make a video of “Thinking Only Of You (Lust Don’t Last)”. Good planning Joe.

Jeff Kelly - Of Missingness (Official Music Video)
Digital single from Jeff Kelly.
Available at: https://greenmonkeyrecords.bandcamp.com/track/of-missingness
The lyric of “Of Missingness” is a brief attempt to express in English the feelings evoked by the Portuguese word, “saudade.” The word has no direct translation into English but I heard one Portuguese woman say the closest way of expressing it might be, “missingness.”
Jasmine Garsd, writing on the NPR website, explained it like this: "Perhaps my favorite of these elusive words is saudade, a Portuguese and Galician term that is a common fixture in the literature and music of Brazil, Portugal, Cape Verde and beyond. The concept has many definitions, including a melancholy nostalgia for something that perhaps has not even happened. It often carries an assurance that this thing you feel nostalgic for will never happen again. My favorite definition of saudade is by Portuguese writer Manuel de Melo: "a pleasure you suffer, an ailment you enjoy.”
I feel like I have written many songs, starting when I was very young, that feel like this, though I didn’t know the word…
Of Missingness
Beauty, fading like a flower
In the fog of some lost hour
Stuck forever in the fall
Freezes like a memory in a mirror
Lost forever though it’s clearer
Than no memory at all
Of some place I’ll never go
Of some face I’ll never know
At the end of the rainbow of missingness
Valentina, Valentina, men have loved you
More than all the stars above you
More than I could ever know
I didn’t want you, didn’t need you, didn’t wish you
So why is it then I miss you
Like some love from long ago
From some place I’ll never go
Is some face I’ll never know
At the end of the rainbow of missingness

Green Pajamas - The Night Miss Sundby Died
Oι Green Pajamas σχηματίστηκαν στο Seattle το 1984 και παραμένουν ακόμα ενεργοί. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει ήδη 22 άλμπουμ, αλλά παραμένουν σχετικά άγνωστοι στο μεγάλο κοινό μιας και δεν υπέγραψαν ποτέ συμβόλαιο με κάποια «μεγάλη εταιρία»
Το κομμάτι αυτό είναι από το 2ο LP τους Book Of Hours του 1986.
The Green Pajamas a musical group from Seattle, Washington. They formed in the spring of 1984 when Jeff Kelly and Joe Ross recorded and released their first album, Summer Of Lust. They are probably best known for the regional hit single "Kim the Waitress".
The band released 22 albums between 1984 and 2007. The band has never been picked up by a major label.
