Bonjours à tous
Voici Les gardiens de nos mémoires, enregistré en 1987, est plus qu’un morceau, c’est un poème chanté à ceux qui ont forgé nos racines, à ceux dont les rides racontent des siècles d’amour, de luttes, et de lumière.
Leur présence est une richesse précieuse, souvent silencieuse, mais essentielle.
Derrière chaque ride se cache une histoire à préserver

Les gardiens de nos mémoires

DUMB AND DANGEROUS THING
Words and Music Stephen Randall

We are
Of dust and a billion days
We are
Of dust and a billion days
For all that we’ve created
There’s more that we’ll erase
We are
Of dust and a billion days

We are
Silent bruised and bled
We are
Silent bruised and bled
And ashes once were flames
And flames are all but dead
We are 
Silent bruised and bled

We are
A dumb and dangerous thing
We are
A dumb and dangerous thing
The hand that cast the stone
With beauty carved the sling
We are
A dumb and dangerous thing

Instrumental 

The hand that cast the stone
With beauty carved the sling
We are
A dumb and dangerous thing

We are
A dumb and dangerous thing

Dumb and Dangerous Thing

My Love Is For Sale is a retrospective thoughtful song about love and being ever hopeful and optimistic about the future. 

Buy from Bandcamp

My Love Is For Sale

Based on Hemingway's famous six-word story; a haunting tale about the devastation of losing a child.

For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Used

Death of a friend.  The lyrics have a deep emotional resonance, touching on themes of loss, regret, and the search for understanding after a friend takes his own life.

Gone

I pressed your name
Into the glass
Watched it melt
Watched it pass

Teeth in the mirror
Smiles that bite
I look for you
In the absence of light

I was louder with reverb
But I meant it more quiet
You never heard me
Until I went silent

If I scream soft enough
Will it still count?
If I stop loving you
Do I bleed it out?

I’m still here
But not enough

louder with reverb (bonus)

Baby, come back

TIME FLIES

Mr. Bitterman

This song ended up on the cutting room floor.
I think it should have been in the movie.

(Verse 1)
You are so beautiful, you are so smart
It kills me that you can't see the work of art
They tell us "be extraordinary," a mountain we must climb
But somehow we're always doing it wrong, every single time.
You have to be thin, but please don't you dare say
That you want to be thin, just be "healthy" on the way
But you have to be thin... you have to have the cash
But don't you ask for money, 'cause they'll only call it crass.

(Chorus)
And oh...
I'm so tired of watching us try to be what people like
I'm just so tired of tying myself in knots under the light
It's too hard, it's too much, and no one says "thank you" for the cost
And it turns out that not only are you wrong, but everything we lost...
Is all our fault.

(Verse 2)
You have to be the boss, but don't you be too mean
You have to lead the way, but keep their fragile egos clean
You're supposed to love being a mother, a pure and holy right
But don't you talk about your kids all damn day and all damn night.
Be a career woman, but always look around
And pick up all the pieces that the others drop on the ground
You have to answer for the things that all the bad men do
And if you dare to point that out, you're just complaining, it's on you.

(Chorus)
And oh!
I'm so tired of watching us try to be what people like!
I'm just so tired of tying myself in knots under the light!
It's too hard, it's too much, and no one says "thank you" for the cost!
And it turns out that not only are you wrong, but everything we lost...
Is all our fault!

(Bridge)
Stay pretty for them, but not so pretty that you tempt
Not so pretty you're a threat to the sisterhood you've kept
Always stand out, but always be so grateful for your spot
Never forget the system's rigged, but thank them for what you've got...
Yeah, thank them for what you've got.

(Build-up/Chant)
Never get old
Never be rude
Never show off
Never be selfish
Never fall down
Never fail
Never show fear
NEVER GET OUT OF LINE!

(Final Chorus)
And OH!
I'M SO TIRED OF WATCHING US TRY TO BE WHAT PEOPLE LIKE!
I'M SO TIRED OF TYING MYSELF IN KNOTS UNDER THE LIGHT!
IT'S TOO HARD, IT'S TOO MUCH, AND NO ONE GIVES YOU A MEDAL FOR THE COST!
AND IT TURNS OUT THAT NOT ONLY ARE YOU WRONG, BUT EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT!

(Outro)
I'm just so tired... of tying myself in knots so people will like us...
And if all of that is also true...
...for a doll...
Then I don't even know...
I don't even know.
