Saltillo - A Hair on the Head of John the Baptist

Album: Ganglion
Track 5: A Hair on the Head of John the Baptist
Release Date: June 1, 2006

Saltillo is the new project of Menton J. Matthews, also of the critically-acclaimed band Sunday Munich. With Saltillo, Matthews delves deep into the disused corridors of our hidden hiding places, distilling the painfully honest solitude, longings, disappointments and aching needs at the heart of our secret selves into the pure sound of emotional honesty. This is the sound of our shared disillusionment and hope. A classically trained musician, Matthews is an impressive multi-instrumentalist, playing cello, viola, violin, guitar, drums, piano, and bass, as well as a slew of electronics. He has spent the last few years refining his song-writing abilities by scoring film soundtracks and doing production work at the mixing desk.

I just heard this song, this work of art, a mere half hour ago, and my life will never be the same. Hyperbole? Maybe. But true, nontheless.

everything Menton does impresses me. His art, his writing, his music.

<Hamlet:
I did love you once.
Ophelia:
Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so.
Hamlet:
You should not have believed me, I loved you not.
Ophelia:
I was the more deceived.>

As with most of Hamlet's dialogues, his words have different levels of meaning. In the 'nunnery' scene (Act III Scene I), his words can have both religious/sexual connotations. In Shakespeare's time, a "nunnery" was commonly used mockingly for a brothel, which would help to add to his final speech, "I have heard of your paintings too, well enough". This almost goes along with Claudius' aside before (line 59), "The harlot's cheek beautified with plast'ring art, " but Hamlet goes beyond makeup to insult the way women flirt and how they excuse their wantonness as ignorance. He declares that, "it hath made me mad" which might go to show that either he has been putting on an act, or that it relates to his later mention of his mother's marriage. When Hamlet ultimately instructs Ophelia "to a nunnery, go, " it can be interpreted in several ways. It can be said because Hamlet did love Ophelia and wants to protect her, or it can be because he wishes to send her to a brothel to act as the harlot he deems all of womankind to be.
