Robert Wyatt - Alifib
Rock Bottom, Robert Wyatt (1974) "His private persona erupted on Rock Bottom (1974), one of rock music's supreme masterpieces, a veritable transfiguration of both rock and jazz. Its pieces straddle the unlikely border between an intense religious hymn and a childish nursery rhyme. Along that imaginary line, Wyatt carved a deep trench of emotional outpouring, where happiness, sorrow, faith and resignation found a metaphysical unity. The astounding originality of that masterpiece, and its well-crafted flow of consciousness, were never matched by Wyatt's later releases." -Piero Scaruffi on Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt - Old Europe
Il maestro Wyatt in un piccolo capolavoro dell' album "Cuckooland" Le Chat qui Peche, Rue de la Huchette. Paris at night, and the strains of a ghost saxophone. Juliette and Miles Black and white city. Paris by night, and the ghosts of two people in love. I'll be dreaming again, always dreams of yesterdays. Those days live on, safe here in my heart. Cherchez la femme, slips through a doorway, out of the night to the warmth of a new lover's arms. Rue St Benoit. La route enchantee. Indigo nights, and the ghost of the moon in the Seine. I'll be dreaming again, always dreams of yesterdays. Those days live on, safe here in my heart.

Robert Wyatt - Forest
Deep in the forest the omens are bad, a cloud passes over the moon Devil Wind bends the trees, a cloud passes over the moon. And the moon takes a peep when the Gypsy girl sings, and her song rises up from the dark to the light, like smoke to the sky, when the Gypsy girl sings at the river's edge. Deep in the forest the omens are bad, a cloud passes over the moon. White wolf waits, grey wolf howls at the girl by the river's edge. The bullet head boys with their baby blue eyes, their donner und blitzen, the lily white gadje religiously hatching their plots in the eyries of eagles. But the moon's keeping watch at the Gypsy girl sings, sees her song rising up like smoke to the sky from the dark to the light, when the Gypsy girl sings at the river's edge. Like the sun on the forest her song rises up, from the ashes of Auschwitz, the death camp at Lety, the white cliffs of Dover, the song of the Roma lives on and on... Trees grow tall though the winds blow cold, tall trees grow. Tall trees grow where the cold wind blow, trees grow tall.
Robert Wyatt - Pigs
Couldn't find this anywhere on youtube so here it is, I have very fond memories of hearing this for the first time on John Peel in 1986, was very chuffed a few years ago when a Portuguese friend hearing this for the first time turned to me and said, 'That's exactly what your voice sounds like!'. Sounding a bit like Robert Wyatt when he speaks remains the single greatest achievement of my life.

Robert Wyatt - Just As You Are
Just As You Are-Robert Wyatt '''Monica Vasconcelos:''' It's that look in your eyes Telling me lies So many promises broken What can I do? What should I do? Try to love you just as you are 'Cause I'm never going to change a thing about you Never ever going to change a thing Try to love you just as you are Should I leave, should I stay Should I call it a day There's so much to say that's unspoken In your way you've been true But all I can do Try to love you just as you are 'Cause I'm never going to change a thing No I'll never ever change a thing about you Try to love you just as you are '''Robert Wyatt:''' It's that look in your eyes I know you despise me For not being stronger What can I do? What should I do? I've always loved you just as you are And I never tried to change a thing Never tried to change a thing about you Always loved you just as you are Will you leave, will you stay? There may come a day When I'm weak and I'm stupid no longer In my way I've been true I've lived just for you I'll always love you just as you are I never tried to change a thing Never tried to change a thing about you Always loved you just as you are

Soft Machine - Thank You Pierrot Lunaire/Have You Ever Bean Green?
Edited by Nuno Monteiro 2010. Soft Machine - Hendrix Tour, USA 1968 "Sharing the same management team as Jimi Hendrix, the Soft Machine were rewarded with a support slot on the Jimi Hendrix Experience's North America tour throughout 1968." Songs from SOFT MACHINE - VOLUME TWO (1969) - "Thank You Pierrot Lunaire" (H. Hopper / R. Wyatt); "Have You Ever Bean Green?" (H. Hopper / R. Wyatt) "A jazz influence is introduced to the humour, dadaism, and psychedelia of The Soft Machine - Volume One (1968). The album was inspired by Frank Zappa's Absolutely Free, and consists of two long compositions with "As Long as He Lies Perfectly Still" and "Dedicated to You" serving as interludes. Acting on a recommendation from Zappa, the band split the main tracks into smaller pieces that were given arbitrary names taken from sound effect tapes in the studio." footage: Soft Machine, Hendrix Tour USA 1968

Robert Wyatt - Dondestan (Revisited) Interview (Part One of Two)
This is a wonderful mini-documentary featuring an interview with the English musician and songwriter Robert Wyatt, in which he discusses his album "Dondestan" and his decision to release a revised version of the project as "Dondestan (Revisited)." The brief film was/is included as an extra feature of the CD release of "Dondestan (Revisited)" in the late 1990s. For fans of Robert Wyatt who are not acquainted with this album, this document serves as a charming and informative introduction to "Dondestan"'s aesthetic. Through its use of the album's music, the imagery of Alfreda Benge's photographs and paintings, and Wyatt's insightful and unpretentious commentary, the film evokes "Dondestan"'s spare, meditative and (deceptively) tranquil moods and atmospheres. Those who are not acquainted with Robert Wyatt's music and songwriting, or have yet to explore his solo work, might find this film to be a helpful introduction to Wyatt as an artist—that is, as opposed to Wyatt as a biographical or sociological subject, to the latter two of which there is no shortage of introductions. It offers insights into Wyatt's approach to songwriting, chord progressions, musical notation (specifically, his heterodox approach to it), record production (which he describes as "low-tech"), lyric-writing, collaboration, technology, musicianship, instrumental virtuosity (or lack there-of), composing as a process of "retrieval" and "simplification," album-sequencing, and what Wyatt calls "find[ing one's <b>...</b>
