Amour déçu...quoique...// Lost love?...maybe not...

Gare de l’Est (At Paris East station)

Gare de l’Est, lying in ambush,
My body, patriotic,
Ready to sacrifice itself
For a stolen kiss.
The sky is threatening,
Like your last message
That I read a hundred times
In the midst of the crowd.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
My paced hundred steps
Don’t calm these voices
That softly repeat
I missed my chance.
It’s night now,
And the wind has risen.
I could lie down
Forever on this bench.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
Then the storm breaks,
Windows glisten,
Sweaty brow, flushed cheeks,
Sweat a salty taste.
If you don’t come,
If you’ve turned the page,
I can’t even imagine—
I ‘m losing my courage.
Like a soldier at attention,
I wait for you, I’m losing my mind.
No way, I won’t return
To Metz Without a promise.
I’d like to bring to light
A mirage from the mist,
A whirlwind of joy,
Your marvelous face.
“But she won’t come anymore,”
Says this stranger.
I turn around—
A goddess—
And I’m struck down.

Sunchild (https://soundcloud.com/para-lia/sunchild?si=1fe21d34700645e48d2f91cb2f396c38&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing) is a song from the current Para Lia album 'In Clash With The Zeitgeist' (paralia.bandcamp.com/album/in-clash…-the-zeitgeist). Here comes a very special version of the song - chilled psychedelic indie pop, with the spherical synthesizers of our friend Fady Haddad from Baltimore (USA), who was already a guest on some songs on our last album. 'Sunchild X Fady' is a remix - but also much more than that. Get caught up in the indie rock / pop crossover atmosphere of this track!

Pretty Confident Tonight

Lyrics
Earth & The Wailing Wiccans
By David Husted

Scene1 [Guardians of the Trees]
when I see you through the candle light
The tears and the laughter bind
Big trees are coming down
The crazy man's eyes 
shout, 

Scene 2: [Tree Fall]
And I'm coming down now
I'm coming down now

Scene 3 [Gaia's Lamentation]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 

Scene4 [Circle around the Trees]
We dance beside the moonlight
We dance inside the rain
As the Earth, she closes her eyes now
Through the shadow and the pain

Scene5: [Guardians Reprise]
when I see you through the candle light
The tears and the laughter bind
Big trees are coming down
The crazy man's eyes 
shout, 

Scene 6: [Wrath of Gaia]
And I'm coming down now
I'm coming down now

Scene 7:[Gaia's Lamentation: Earth]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 

Scene 8: [Circle around the Earth]
dance beside the moonlight
dance inside the rain
As the Earth, she closes her eyes now
Through the shadow and the pain

[Scene 9: Trail of Tears: The Wailing Wiccans]
Can I kiss you? Tonight 
Can I kiss you? Goodbye 


The Overstory:

The Overstory won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2019. This novel by Richard Powers explores themes of the interconnectedness of life and the impact of humanity on nature. 

I found the book very powerful as I very much enjoyed the rich prose and the way he could make me see the world in a new way. He created different lenses to glimpse and better understand the hearts of widely different characters. This included the key player of nature herself. In the end, the book is both a beautiful meditation on nature and a call to action, urging readers to reconsider their relationship with the environment. 

My new song's theme was influenced by this novel not in a direct or intentional way but as something that emerged more slowly and organically. I finished this book during my song's build process. Reverberations, echoes and rhythms of the Overstory seem to lace the song lattice like vines on a tree. 

There were no wailing Wiccans in the book but plenty of very passionate earth connected characters. There was also some good cries of grief and pain. I think some of this grief informed my late arriving background vocals in the last chorus. They have a quality of choral witch-like wailing to my ears. I almost discarded them BUT the sound of this background texture grew on me like a fungus over time and really began to anchor my song direction. This was not intentional either until my brain later latched on to it as a means to inspire the final song form and ending.

My next original song, Earth and the Wailing Wiccans, will be officially released to all streaming services on Friday, 16 August 2024!

Thank You for sharing a moment with me.

✨⚡️Petit retour au Reggae, 🇯🇲 avec une voix qui m'a emporté lors de ma première écoute et j'ai eu envie de retravailler la musique pour lui donner une autre dimension. J'y ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à réaliser ce titre, j'espère que vous aussi à son écoute.💫🌟⭐️

My latest is a tune based around a couple of acoustic guitar parts. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening :)

Lyrics:
Another year, another bad debt
Snow is on the ground
Follow a trail of broken promise
Lost and never found
Its hard to know
When things go wrong 
And  word is on the street
The last to know 
And the only one 
To leave 

Even though we’ve been full circle
The ice is something new 
And tonight it’s unfamiliar
A place I thought I knew
I feel the dark 
And taste the cold
There’s nothing  here to see
The last to know 
The only one 
To leave 

Waking up too early
A bright light in my eyes
The clues were all around us
Thrown away with all the lies


In the morning I come looking
Somewhere in the snow
I know the footprints will be buried 
No where else to go
The wind gets up
The ghost has gone 
No hope of a reprieve
The last to know 
And The only one 
To leave

The Last To Know

Hang Around with Me

Late in life, Thomas fulfills his passion for creating and performing songs. Alice, one of his two daughters, adds her touch and her voice. The songs are for some in French and for others in English, and interpreted either by Al(Alice), or by To(Thomas), or in duet or by guests. We hope you will like it and encourage us to continue!
