Wonderful collab / composition - great laid back vocals and excellent guitar work

Fantastique collaboration! Bravo à vous tous!

Lovely melody to this smooth sailing production

Humming For Peace

When Tom approached me with this piano melody, the initial arrangement and the title to which he hoped I’d add lyrics and vocals, I thought it was almost unnecessary as the piece already said everything required. Shortly afterwards, Jussi had added sublime guitar which offered a hopeful balance in the mood. Knowing what Tom was referring to without discussing it openly I wrote these words from a similar position of experience. I contrasted the first verse of a woman at her peak with the second verse of a woman in decline to heighten the emotion. I found that the spoken word approach allowed more emotion to flow from both the music and the words. Tom had the great idea to ask Hidefumi to complete the song with a phenomenal solo. Thank you to everyone who helped make this come together, and a very special thanks to all of you for listening.

She knows just what it feels like now.
I think she’s losing it, I think she’s losing it. 
When she is almost ready, 
She will lose her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Then she’ll lose herself in herself and then she’ll be free,
To be what she wants, what she wants to be.

She knows not who she feels like now.
I know she’s losing it, I know she’s losing it. 
As if she's gone already, 
She has lost her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Already lost herself in herself and now she’s elsewhere,
Knows not what she wants, nor who she used to be.

Il suffit d'une seconde
Un hasard
Pour voir le monde moins noir
Sur le bateau ivre
J'ai croisé son regard
Brillant dans la nuit
Semblant me dire: oh toi...
Tu vas te noyer dans mes yeux face à face
Tu remonteras pas à la surface

Puis elle a plongé dans l'onde
En un éclair
Et j'ai avalé la mer
A tenter à la nage
De suivre ma sirène
Pour finir hors d’haleine
Echoué sur la plage
On se reverra en haut lieu face à face
Quand tu seras remontée à la surface

J’ai navigué sans relâche
Pour retrouver sa trace
J’ai perdu le nord perdu la face
Parfois j’ai cru la voir
Se prendre dans la nasse
Voir nos mondes solitaires
Se rejoindre à la surface

Les souvenirs on les place
La vie entière
Dans des bouteilles à la mer
Dont les messages disent
La liberté fugace
Bien souvent les navires
Reviennent à la même place
Je me suis noyé dans ses yeux face à face
Je voulais pas rester à la surface
