Lyrics: Poem by Paul Verlaine (1870).

La lune blanche
Luit dans les bois ;
De chaque branche
Part une voix
Sous la ramée...

Ô bien-aimée.

L'étang reflète,
Profond miroir,
La silhouette
Du saule noir
Où le vent pleure...

Rêvons, c'est l'heure.

Un vaste et tendre
Apaisement
Semble descendre
Du firmament
Que l'astre irise...

C'est l'heure exquise



translation to English:

The white moon
Shines in the woods ;
From each branch
springs a voice
beneath the arbor..

Oh my beloved.

Like a deep mirror
the pond reflects
the silhouette
of the black willow
where the wind weeps.

Let us dream! It is the hour...

A vast and tender calm
seems to descend
from a sky
made iridescent by the moon.

It is the exquisite hour!

Note from Alexis Roche to me when I ask him what this song meant and what that initial spark was good got them to write this beautiful song.

Re the song itself, it's a poem by Paul Verlaine from 1870 that evokes lovers(or maybe a man alone thinking of his missing beloved one)taking an evening walk under the moon. listening to the wind in the trees, watching a black willow reflected in the pond... it's basically about appeasement, dreams and, of course, love. This poem always makes me think about "Dream a little dream of me".
 After reading it for the first time, about 25 years ago (I was 17), I took my guitar, put those two chords, and found that melody straight away... I always thought it was over-simplistic, hence never played it with anyone, but for some reason it got stuck in my head and has been haunting me ever since. I eventually decided to record it one year ago, possibly in an attempt to let it go away... 
but thanks to the incredible feedback I got from soundclouders, things have not quite happened this way!

I will need therapy too :)

This Track came about after being so inspired by that beautiful song.

L'heure Exquise  (Roche/Conover)

What Is Love These Day's
conover & Hans-Michael Albers
Here’s my heart
It lies open to you
But what is love….. to do

Here’s my breath
You can steal it away
But what is love….. to you  
 
What is Love........

I posted My question
I cast the net far and wide
What is love?
What Luv?
Won't somebody answer?
Won't someone reply.
What is Love .......These days..

Here's my heart
It lies open to you.
But what is love to do?

Play that guitar :)

Here's my heart
opened wide
What is love
What Love
What is.......

Here's my breath
You take it away
There's nothing left of me............................



What is this thing called love
Don't answer it...... Live it.

What Is Love These Day's?  Conover/Hans-Michael Albers

The Rung
Every little string that you pull
could bring the house down.
Every little word that you write 
could turn it all around.
Every time you punch that little button
Things would turn to gold
And now that little house is getting sold 

Now your betting your foundation on a song you haven't sung
You get back on the ladder and your boot slipped on the rung
your boot slipped on the rung
your boot slipped on the rung
You get back on the ladder and your boot slipped on the rung


Guitar 



Every little string that you pull
could bring the house down.
Every little word that you write 
could turn it all around.
Every time you punch that little button
Things would turn to gold
And now that big old house is getting sold 


Now your betting your foundation on a song you haven't sung
You get back on the ladder and your boot slipped on the rung
your boot slipped on the rung
Get back on the ladder and your boot slipped on the rung

Music and vocals by conover

Roll down the windows let me pull over.
Let's take our time now since we've got older.

So why should we rush things
We have the rest of our lives
The rest of our lives

Roll down the windows let me pull over.
Let's take our time now since we've got older.

So why should we rush things
We have the rest of our lives
The rest of our live
repeat but don’t rush

Shaded and crisply dressed
Highway patrol man coming up to our little car
And then looking inside of our little window
And with his leather clad hand signaling for us to
roll down our little window…..

Good morning Officer
And how are we today?

How are we today? how are we today?
How are we today? how are we today?
Here we go……………

I highly recommend that you roll down the windows and pullover from time to time while driving down the path of life.

Part Of Your Smile

We wiggle our toes into the golden sand.
And look up to the sky
There's just one thing on our minds today.

Every little part of your smile
becomes part of my life.
Oh Baby

We slowly make our way out of the ocean.
We wash the rays away.
The daylight will be slipping into to night.
 good night.

Every little part of your smile
becomes part of my life.

We tend to stay along the coast
to keep from losing our way.
We tend to face into the wind
We get our power from the wind…….

We wiggle our toes into the golden sand.
And look up to the sky
There's just one thing on our minds today.
Every little part of your smile
becomes part of my life.
We tend to stay along the coast
to keep from losing our way.

What would you say if I told you I was never coming home again?
 Well I'm never coming home again....

Home Again  Conover/Hans-Michael Albers

His life was gentle; and the elements
so mixed in him, that Nature might stand up,
and say to all the world, This was a Man!

William Shakespeare
English poet and dramatist (1564-1616)
considered one of the greatest English writers.

This was a Man!

I can’t fall in love with you
This would never work in a million years
I trust my heart in situations such as these
This would never work in a million years

Step by step I hear you calling
Do you need my help
Where can I find you
Step by step I hear you falling
Can I help you
Can I help you

I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens after school
I was a hard working lad
I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens 
I was a hard working lad

I can’t fall in love with you
This would never work in a million years
I trust my heart in situations such as these
This would never work in a million years

Step by step I hear you calling
Do you need my help
Where can I find you
Step by step I hear you falling
Can I help you
Can I help you

I helped my mother to pay off the farm
I counted chickens
I was a hard working lad

We shall see how things work out
We shall see how things become unworkable

What Ever Happened
The Strokes
I wanna be forgotten
And I don't want to be reminded
You say, "Please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
I wanna be beside her
She wanna be admired
You say, "Please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
Oh dear, is it really all true?
Did they offend us and they want it to sound new?
Top ten ideas for countdown shows
Whose culture is this and does anybody know?
I wait and tell myself, life ain't chess
But no one comes in
And yes, you're alone
You don't miss me, I know
Oh Tennessee, what did you write?
I come together in the middle of the night
Oh, that's an ending that I can't write
'Cause I've got you to let me down
I wanna be forgotten
And I don't want to be reminded
You say, "Please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet
I wanna be beside her
She wanna be admired
You say, "Please don't make this harder"
No, I won't yet

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
