In 1995, Pajo started the M franchise, issuing a single and a split single in short order. As Aerial M, he released several singles, a self-titled album and a remix album. As Papa M, he produced three full-length albums, the first of them, Live from a Shark Cage, in 1999.
In 2002, Pajo joined Billy Corgan's Zwan, with whom he released an album and toured the world for two years. It was during this time that he started the Papa M singles series.
Hole of Burning Alms appeared in 2004 - to date, the last Papa M record. This collected Aerial M and Papa M sides to form another long-playing link in the M chain.
Since then, he has recorded as Pajo. His self-titled first release came in the summer of 2005 - a collection of solo recordings made on the road. He then released the home recording 1968, as part of a Pajo trilogy. The final album was Scream With Me, a collection of acoustic Misfits covers. This album was only released on vinyl and download. He has played live as Pajo very sparingly, a few dates dotted around the globe.

Beloved Woman
Papa M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The rose of many men
In your strength I find
The will to rise again
My horse has long since died
My fever kicking in
And I long to ride
Through the grass again
The rose of many men
In your strength I find
The will to rise again
Though my horse has died
My fever kicking in
I know that I will ride
Through the grass again
Papa M's "Beloved Woman" is a gentle, reflective piece that is both mournful and hopeful in its lyrics. The repeated phrase "Beloved woman of my mind / The rose of many men" sets up a sense of longing and admiration for a woman who seems to embody strength and grace. The singer is in a state of physical and emotional exhaustion: his horse has died and he is ill with fever, but he finds solace in the idea of riding through the grass again. The woman symbolizes resilience and vitality, and her presence in his thoughts gives him the motivation to keep going.
There is a kind of melancholy nostalgia at work here, as the singer remembers happier times when he could ride freely through the countryside. The song might be seen as a meditation on the transience of life, and the importance of finding inner resources to face adversity. Even though the singer's horse is gone, he can still summon the courage and energy to keep moving forward.
Overall, "Beloved Woman" is a beautiful and poignant song that speaks to the human need for connection, inspiration, and hope. It is a testament to the power of memory and imagination to sustain us through difficult times.
