Lyrics :
"Pour tous ceux que tu aimes, tu as gagné des batailles
Qui tournent et tournent encore dans ta tête à l'aurore ;
Pour tous ceux que tu aimes, tu as laissé des médailles
Qui dorment et dorment encore, en l'honneur de nos morts...

Tu as vécu tous les combats, voyagé dans tous les états,
Tu as saisi au fond de toi que, fils de pauvre ou fils de roi,
Nul ne peut ignorer la loi du combat !

Pour tous ceux que tu aimes, tu as passé des murailles,
Qui tiennent et tiennent encore des prisonniers à tort ;
Pour tous ceux que tu aimes, tu as risqué la mitraille,
Qui frappe et frappe encore sur des milliers de corps..."

Paroles:

"Deux mille années passées à t'imaginer,
devant de la poussière j'ai bien espéré
Deux mille années passées à t'imaginer,
devant les cimetières j'ai bien espéré, espéré...

Au cœur de tous mes désirs, le secret de tes sourires,
l'espoir de mon devenir, la détresse de tes soupirs...

Pour mille années passées à t'imaginer,
devant les cimetières j'ai bien espéré
Pour mille années passées à t'imaginer,
devant de la lumière faut bien espérer, espérer...

Au cœur de tous mes désirs, la magie de tes sourires,
l'espoir de mon devenir, un univers de plaisir..."

"My soundtrack for a biopic about the Sherman family. Thank you for your awesome cigarettes & quality cigars, so sweet and delicious! With all my gratitude." D. Riba to www.natsherman.com/ Courtesy of Mangalyan Records, 2016

Nat Sherman is the brand name for a line of handmade cigars and "luxury cigarettes." The company, which began as a retail tobacconist, continues to operate a flagship retail shop now located on 42nd Street in New York City. Corporate offices are now located at the foot of the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Before he was involved in the tobacco industry, Nat Sherman made his fortune running a prominent speakeasy in New York City during the 1920s,..

- En 1969, Christian Vander invente la Zeuhl avec le groupe phénomène Magma et l'expérience d'Offering. De nombreux groupes naissent et autant de courants dérivés combinant diverses influences allant du folklore, en passant par le métal jusqu'à des œuvres symphoniques et chorales. Ici, j'ai imaginé un opus jazzy-zeuhl qui rencontre aussi son public.

A lonely, long-gone West Village cocktail lounge
February 3, 2011 / I have no idea when George Herdt’s bar and restaurant opened or closed. And I can only guess at the clientele—perhaps the same mix of longshoremen, factory workers, and locals who frequented the White Horse a few blocks away back in the 1940s and 1950s, way before the far West Village became trendy. This lovely, ghostly photo was taken in the early 1970s by author Katherine Towler. She lived in Chelsea then; luckily she documented some West Side haunts of the time—most, like this one, are no longer there.

At 2:38, I quote the main theme of "Popcorn", an early synthpop instrumental, composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 and first appearing on his album Music to Moog By. The same year it was released and recorded at Audio Fidelity Records label in New York City. The composition received its title during a meeting between Kingsley and Audio Fidelity; Kingsley indicated the track did not have a title and someone suggested "Popcorn", with 'Pop' standing for pop music and 'corn' for kitsch. Some single sleeves (such as the one illustrated) presents the title as two words, "Pop Corn", but the title is generally presented as one word. In 1972, Hot Butter's rerecording was a huge hit in many countries. "Popcorn" has since been covered by a great number of artists.

”To me, jazz drums is about composing in real-time, about staying in the moment and letting yourself go. I think the best term to describe it is ’instant composition’. The idea behind this collection was to capture just that – variations of rhythmical comping ideas and melodies a jazz drummer would play to accompany a band” Norman Garschke (traditionally trained drummer with a masters degree in jazz performance from the Conservatories of Hilversum and Amsterdam).

Recorded by Damien Riba in Studio Villages, Mougins, French Riviera.
