When Philip K. Dick, one of the teachers Science Fiction (in the world of science fiction is a special distinction award is the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master, which honors those who are considered the top exhibitors in the genre, but Phil never received this award), began to hear the English composer's music s. XVI, John Dowland, which included the beautiful sound of the countertenor voice and lute, fell in love with her, and even considered his most interesting music discovery, beyond the early 70's. Flow my tears was his favorite aria and all who were received at home made them listen.
Empezó a escribir una novela que tituló Flow my tears, the Policeman said , que abandonó al poco tiempo, no sabiendo cómo continuarla, pues tenía demasiadas cosas alrededor suyo: Nancy, la mujer con la que vivía, una chica que rondaba los veinte, muy joven en comparación con la cuarentena de Phil, lo abandonó. Phil se había comprado un enorme archivador metálico donde guardaba sus posesiones, pero un día se le había olvidado la clave. Luego, en algo que recordaría toda su vida, el 17 de noviembre del 1971 alguien entró a su casa y detonó el archivador, llevándose varias cosas. Antes de eso Phil pensaba que lo estaban espiando y con ese hecho confirmed his suspicions. It was not so paranoid after all. Phil then thought he was looking manuscript Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said . The novel (which I have not read yet) describes a drug (a common occurrence in the work of Phil) which causes loss of any reference to other people, the main character suddenly wakes up and no one recognizes, does not exist for others, although the day above has had a radio program heard by 30 million people. Phil recalled that she had told one person about this novel, and he suspected that the man was a CIA agent. The man in question said he had a secret drug called LSD derived mello jello I had very similar effects to the drug of your manuscript. Why he believed they had tried to steal, without finding what they sought, as the unfinished manuscript was in the hands of his agent and they could not carry.
In honor of Philip K. Dick, Stuart Hamm musician released an album, their debut album in 1988, six years after the death of the writer, entitled Radio Free Albemuth , the title of another of Phil's novels. The album contains a song titled the same name and other Flow my tears. It was recorded in collaboration with Allan Holdsworth and Joe Satriani. Flow my tears In Joe Satriani is one who plays guitar and Stuart Hamm bass.
And finally the piece by John Dowland, who was so fond of Phil, played by German countertenor Andreas Scholl, who is the interpretation which I liked.
Flow, my tears, fall from your springs,
Exiled for ever, let me mourn
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.
Down vain lights, shine you no more
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore.
Light doth but shame disclose.
Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pity is fled;
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.
From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown;
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.
Hark! you shadows That dwell in darkness,
Learn to Condemn light
Happy, happy in hell They That
Feel Not the world's Despit.
