Something Fine

Why Am I Lost

MON AMOUR
Paroles et Musique: Bruno-Michel ABATI

Mes doigts courent sur ta peau
Au rythme de tes mots,
S'attardent sur tes reins
Que tes cheveux de lin
Couvrent comme la mer
Les plages en hiver
Où scintillent aux vents
Les reflets gris du temps.

S'échappent d'un sourire
Les saveurs du plaisir,
Que tes lèvres sucrées
Savourent d'un baiser.
Ondulent indolentes
Les arabesques lentes
De tes jambes teintées
Des soleils enivrés

Ô mon amour
J'écrirai toujours
Ton nom de mon  corps
Jusqu'au soir de ma mort

Mes doigts ornent tes mains
De cercles incertains,
Glissent sur tes bras de soie
Tel un pinceau chinois
Sur une toile blanche
D'une innocence d'ange,
D'un trait ferait surgir
Les lueurs du désir.

Et depuis ton épaule
Mes doigts prennent leur envol,
Effleurent à dessein
La pointe de tes seins,
Se posent comm' sur un fil
Juste sur ton nombril,
Descendent lentement
Rejoindre un firmament.

Ô mon amour
J'écrirai toujours
Ton nom de mon corps
Jusqu'au soir de ma mort (bis)

Ton corps brûle ma peau
Et emporte mes mots
Dans un flux d'émotion
Où se meurt ma chanson.

Ô mon amour
J'écrirai toujours
Ton nom de mon corps
Jusqu'au soir de ma mort
Mon amour

Lovely Time - Live On Radio Camambert

Texas Girl At Her Fathers Funeral

Ben Stack has recorded and toured internationally, both as a solo artist/songwriter and session guitarist varying in style from Jazz to folk - and almost everything in between. As a result of these widely differing musical experiences, he explores, and often fuses, different aspects of funk, jazz, folk, blues and rock. Switching between acoustic and electric guitars, on which he often uses a variety of stomp boxes and other effects, it is a singular experience to hear the sounds he can produce from an acoustic guitar. He uses about a dozen different tunings and incorporates an highly personal picking style which almost sounds like percussion adding a unique flavor to his sound. The first thing that strikes you when you see Ben live is the sheer energy and personality the man exudes. It's like being taken on a journey that can be anywhere from soothing, to dark, often highly emotional, to down right funky. You never really know what to expect. I'v heard him several times play the same song but one night it's pure jazz and the next it's funk ...or folk .... or an improvisation of where the mood takes him. Even though the scope of his improvisations can take you in many different directions, it's almost impossible not to follow him where ever he takes you. It really amazing to watch people who normally would never listen to jazz or folk become entranced by the hypnotic energy Mr. Stack puts out. The second thing is the way he involves you in an interplay between raw emotion and controlled delivery. Following him as he communicates through his guitar and voice you feel that he's talking to you personally. The list of luminaries he has work with, played with and collaborated with range from John Martyn to Ray Brown.
