about

Poet Raymond Antrobus describing the experience of speaking a word that he cannot hear.

lyrics

Raymond Antrobus is speaking to Michael Rosin
on 'Word of Mouth' BBC Radio 4 podcast
(Ep. July 2019. Timestamp 17:26 to 17:59)
His quote is chopped & spliced throughout song:

"...& Now uhmm [breath]/
C-c-c-c-riticism/--one second-one second--/
Criticism (x5)/
CRITICISM is a word
I always need to like, run up for/

because there's 3 sounds in that word
that i don't hear/ uhmmm:
Criiiiiii--
SssSSss-
CcccCcc/

I don't hear any high-pitched sounds/
& that word is almost entirely high-pitched sounds/

it's quite bizarre for me/
to make a sound that i've literally never experienced//"
