How about we stay home today
What do you say we just stay home today
We stay and we ride out the monster as we pray
You and I and the storm

Nothing can break us
Nothing will kill us
Nothing can break us
Nothing will kill us

How about we stay home today
What do you say we just stay home today
We stay and we ride out the monster as we pray
You and I and the storm

Nothing can break us
Nothing will kill us
Nothing can break us
Nothing will kill

You and I
You and I
You and I
And the storm

Death will not take us by surprise
No wind can be our demise

How about we stay home today
What do you say we just stay home today
We stay and we ride out the monster as we pray
You and I and the storm

We've nothing to lose, naught to gain
You and I and the hurricane
You know we can make it but in truth
In doesn't matter either way

Nothing can break us
Nothing will kill us
Nothing can break us
Nothing will kill

You and I
You and I
You and I
And the storm

She taught me what I see is not true
All I can see is blue
She saved me from drowning in her brew
By holding my head down

Now I can breathe under water
Though it hurts
Though it hurts
Though it hurts
Her song was sweet and lovely
How it burns
How it burns
How it burns

You see through me
While I can't see you
You stand by me
And I do need you

To lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on

And all these shades of blue
Turn to black
As I move down
Out of the twilight zone

Now I can breathe under water
Though it hurts
Though it hurts
Though it hurts
Her song was sweet and lovely
How it burns
How it burns
How it burns

You see through me
While I can't see you
You comfort me
I do need you

To lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on
Lead me on

The river made her bed and left
With no word left unsaid, confessed
She took off as she could, weightless
Around her only wood as witness

Oh to cross the ocean on foot
In golden silence

When the last tear left her dry and dropped
Upside down the river cried, time stopped
It was like rain, the last rain on earth
Fade out the river, the world within her, in silence

Oh to cross the ocean on foot
In golden silence

Undoing time
Repainting the sky
The sun leaking dye
While the river resupplies

Hydrogen wine
Mixing up high
Now almost dry
The end is sublime

My name is Jean
This much I know
I miss my mom
Where is she now?

I've traveled all my life
To get to here and now
And now I'm here
But I don't know where I am

Someone's tapping on my shoulder pad
Is it my dad?
Something's going on inside my brain
Is that my name?

I've seen that person before
I've heard this voice in my mind
I've seen that person before
I've heard this voice in my mind

Hey everyone
Everyone forgot me
Hey everyone
Everybody it's me
Hey everyone
Everyone forgot me
Hey everyone
Everybody it's me

This mind of mine
It's doing fine
Across the bridge

Seesaw with the other girls
Back home at sea
The stars have gone
And I don't know where I am

Someone's tapping on my shoulder pad
This isn't bad
Something's going on inside my brain
I'm not the same

I've seen that person before
I've heard this voice in my mind
I've seen that person before
I've heard this voice in my mind

Hey everyone
Everyone forgot me
Hey everyone
Everybody it's me
Hey everyone
Everyone forgot me
Hey everyone
Everybody it's me

Hey everyone
Everyone forgot me
Hey everyone
Everybody it's me
Hey everyone
Everyone forgot me

Curled up in the corner, I'm staring at the wall
My roommate's praying on the concrete floor
Noise in the distance, bouncing through the hall
It breaks through all my memories of before

I was eighteen then, I yearned for nothing more
Than a simple life, a job, a woman's love to hold
And I'd wish for that again, knowing it could be done
If it weren't for that night when my life was torn

Can you see the light
Pouring in through the bars?
Here all through the night
Reading between the lines

I don't belong here
I do not belong
I don't belong here

My heart is my shield
No-one can take it away from me
My field is my mind
They're both mine and serve me in my hour of need

Can you see the light
Pouring in through the bars?
Here all through the night
Reading between the lines

I don't belong here
I do not belong
I don't belong here

I don't belong here
I do not belong
I don't belong here

Army Dreamers (Kate Bush cover)

Drawing inspiration from songwriting legends like Radiohead, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, Fiona Apple, Elysian Fields, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, and Serge Gainsbourg, Antoine Guenet's music is an amalgamation of various styles and influences.
Through his music, he explores a diverse range of themes and emotions, often writing from the perspective of characters. His songs are like stories, with vivid and detailed narratives that take the listener on a journey. From the allegory of a toxic relationship in "Siren" to the devastation of a hurricane in "The Storm," and from the evaporation of the last river on earth in "The River" to the realization of losing one's mind in "Jean's Memory," Antoine Guenet's music touches on a broad spectrum of human experiences.
Featuring haunting melodies, intricate rhythms, and complex arrangements, Slow Burn's songs are brought to life with a combination of instruments. From Antoine's own jazz-influenced piano playing to the rock and pop rhythms of the bass and drums, and from the use of electronics such as synths and drum machines to the orchestral sounds of complex string and horn arrangements, each song is a sonic journey.
Whether performed solo, as a jazz trio, or with a full rock band, Antoine Guenet's music is always rich, complex, and easy to listen to. Slow Burn is being released one song at a time, under the album title Slow Burn, allowing listeners to take their time with each song and immerse themselves in the intricate soundscapes and narratives that he has created.
