As well as the previous one, i wasn't able to finish this track as my apartment was burglarised on October 2020.
Around July 2020, i've randomly sent some music to a dear friend of mine: Simon Heah, because he wanted to hear it.
Here is what's left, as well as other lo-fi recordings that i will only share on Soundcloud.
The thieves stole my musical equipment, my computer and the usbs where i kept the projects at the time, gladly i was able to send some audio files to Simon.
There is no reason for me to holding on to it, so here it is...

This track was recorded mainly around the spring of 2020, in my home studio.
That's also the first composition where my self crafted technique : surfing with feedback, was born. 

Mixed using 2 old vintage boomboxes.

You can now buy digitally "Unreleased (2018-2020) Vol. I", which is the album where this track is featured, by simply following this link : https://tinyurl.com/yck4mnaa

Lament (Unreleased Track)

If I persist through this indecision I will
find I've been chosen again
for all the times I have questioned you
knew nothing of the far side then
when the present sets the precedent
there are no bets against
the courage you've found again
to hold my lens
in the lens that you'd turned against

it's always just a look
sometimes, sometimes a breeze mistook
for a longer love
I didn't turn from

I'm a god damn maniac
there's a multitude of me in every step
no wonder you can't keep track
I'm moltenous and eternally turning back
mostly words with no space behind
baby, it's an honour to bathe in your time
it's an honour to feed on your time
feeding on mine
I'm reeling in the line

six legs beneath me
and a wing that's caught in your page
I'm not going anywhere
baby, let's face it
I can't get away
my courage is weak outside of you
the wind eternally blows in my face
the mountain I'm tasked to climb
just seems to eternally raise
and the cairn I've fashioned out of lifeless things
just dances in the shape of you
it's an honour to feed on your time

if I persist through this indecision I will
find I've been chosen again
to all the times I had questioned
I knew nothing of the far side then
when the present sets the precedent
and the bets no longer against
the courage you found again
to hold my lens in the lens that you'd turned

I will not question you anymore
it's an honour to feed on your time
eat me with your time
mix me with your lime
let me drip through the states of you
that hold whatever regime you hold
a tally and a gift to be born
every blessing with which you're adorned

I'm a god damn maniac
there's a multitude of me in every step
no wonder you can't keep track
I'm moltenous and eternally turning back
mostly words with no space behind
it's an honour to bathe in your time
it's an honour to feed on your time
feeding on mine
I'm reeling in the line

six legs beneath me and a wing that's caught in your page
I'm not going anywhere
baby, let's face it I can't get away
my courage is weak outside of you
the wind eternally blows in my face
the mountain I'm tasked to climb
just seems to eternally raise
and the cairn I've made from lifeless things
just dances in the shape of you
with indescribable grace

An Honour

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
