Lyrics:

Capitalism is Killing Planet Earth

Welcome to the church of the good spirits against capitalism
Welcome to the church of the good spirits against capitalism

I look at the sky and ask to the good spirits 
Pour upon us the light of Martin Luther king
I look at the sky and ask to the good spirits
Pour upon us the light of Bob Marley
I look at the sky and ask to the good spirits 
Pour upon us the light of Nelson Mandela
I look at the sky and ask to the good spirits
Pour upon us the light of John Lennon

You're a Bible plague , yeah
You fool them all
You kill the children 
Inside us
You kidnapped me
So young
You owe me
My real life

and they say buy, buy , buy,buy, buy , buy
buy, buy , buy,buy, buy , buy

Capitalism  is Killing Planet Earth
Capitalism is Killing the Best of Us
Capitalism  is Killing Planet Earth
Capitalism is Killing the Best of Us

<Martin Luthr King's speech>
"I want to say to you as I move to my conclusion, as we talk about “Where do we go from here?”
 that we must honestly face the fact that the movement must address itself to the question of restructuring
 the whole of American society. There are forty million poor people here, and one day we must ask the question,
 “Why are there forty million poor people in America?” And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising
 a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin
 to question the capitalistic economy. And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions
 about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. But one day we must
 come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. It means that questions must be raised. And you
 see, my friends, when you deal with this you begin to ask the question, “Who owns the oil?” You begin to ask the question,
 “Who owns the iron ore?” You begin to ask the question, “Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that's
 two-thirds water?” These are words that must be said."

You're a Bible plague, yeah
You fool them all
You kill the children 
Inside us
You kidnapped me
So young
You owe me
My real life

and they say buy, buy , buy,buy, buy , buy
buy, buy , buy,buy, buy , buy

Capitalism  is Killing Planet Earth
Capitalism is Killing the Best of Us
Capitalism  is Killing Planet Earth
Capitalism is Killing the Best of Us

<Martin Luthr King's speech>
"Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city,
 we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, 
Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

Lyrics:

I don't need no mountain to climb
to know how I feel
and I don't need no river to find
my way through these fields

I keep holding on, holding off
in a moment of fear
I keep holding on, holding off
til the moment appears

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

If I walk on into the night
straight through those fields
will you be that shimmering light
that knows how I feel

I keep holding on...

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

Heroes on the sun...

The day that fell

Dissonance in music is not often accepted and yet it is part of every individual in the form of cognitive dissonance, a very interesting topic in social psychology.
In music, I have a certain pleasure in playing with this dissonance which brings, for my part, a complementary expression in the message that I construct, that I shape. This music thus delivers two opposites, the "pure" note and the "bastard" note, which when well orchestrated (if I may say so) ends up giving another dimension to the composition. I love this exercise which gives me the impression of being a cat that must constantly fall back on its paws, moreover the dissonance is a certain form of search for balance :-)

Broken Erhu

<<a breakup song>>

You can read me like a book
You can play me like a song
the one that you turned to 
When things went wrong

The angel on your shoulder
The hero looking over
I’m feeling so much older
And the world seems colder 

your words are a circle
Drawn in the sand
There is no beginning
There is no end

Like wandering the desert
40 days and nights together
I don’t work well under pressure
Can’t find the answer

You can take it like how you want it but I still want to be your friend
Your savior ain’t beside you so unless you look inside you
We’re out here alone
We’ve got to save our own skin

We get up when we’re down
Now were lost, we’ll be found
We go out on the town until the morning comes

We’re a little bit older, you’re a little more sober, I’m a little hungover
When the daylight comes 


life is beautiful
Life is a scream
But here comes the heartache 
that dashes your dream
 
there’s a devil on your shoulder
a shadow falling over
your feel so much colder
The world seems so older

When The Daylight Comes

Like the Rabbit Passing Alice

Some folks just never settle down and time is of the essence!  A kind of nod to JJ Cale's Mr. Breeze.

Lyrics;
Every day a river will find the sea
You know you've found a forest just by seeing the trees
And people everywhere just wanna be free
I'm always somewhere else, nobody's gonna find me

Cause I've always been a rambler with a strong urge to fly
I'll never settle down under that big blue sky
I love ya, gotta go,  time to say goodbye
Like the rabbit passing Alice no time to tell you why

You've called the wrong number if I answer the phone
If you're sending me a letter it's addressee unknown
My door is always open but I'm never at home
It's good to be with someone, but I'm better alone

Look from where I'm standing, it's a big world out there
And I'm bound to find my dreams  but I just don't know where
And time's in short supply  no one has got much to spare
But I'm happy for the little time that you and I shared

I've always been a rambler with a strong urge to fly
I'll never settle down under that big blue sky
I love ya, gotta go,  time to say goodbye
Like the rabbit passing Alice no time to tell you why

And every day the river will find the sea
Not hard to find a forest when you're under the trees
And people everywhere just wanna be free
I'm always somewhere else is why you'll never find me
