Hello, world!

Here's the first album by Counting Down Giants. 

A labor of love two years in the making, this studio project is the brainchild of Canadian songwriter Vincent Langlois. Written and produced during the strangest of times, collaborating virtually while city-hopping on three continents, the result is a personal and eclectic journey through the artist's favorite genres and inspirations.

Enjoy! :)

Lyrics:

Your claim to fame was such a sad affair
You caught the world off guard and unprepared
Your Majesty has lost her mind
No one sane would cross that line
But you know, that won’t matter anymore

They all will rise and fall as you dictate
You are a lesson learned, make no mistake
No cataclysms to ignore
No enemy worth fighting for
You know, you can’t fake this anymore

Your Majesty is so deluded
Your twisted words are convoluted
You know, you don’t live here anymore

You do not faze me
You do not fool me
You do not tempt me
You are nothing to me

Good things never come to those who wait
There’s no one else to lose in your embrace
Your words are sung in empty spaces
Your Majesty has lost all graces
You know, I don’t need you anymore

You are nothing to me

Your Majesty (Radio Edit)

One of my favorite of their early ones.

Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead

From the album The Bends, a very haunting song by Radiohead, done here my way.

Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Radiohead

One of my favorite song from Lennon, done 2-3 years back at home when I finally got to plug my old gear and try to setup everything for recording. Thanks baby pooh for setting this up!

Enjoy :)

Across the Universe - John Lennon

This took me a good 3 months to finish. When I started, I never really believed I would finish it. Too much work! But I really love the original song. How do you write something like that??? Insane.

Enjoy :)

Because - The Beatles

This has to be my favorite Radiohead's song of ALL time.

Enjoy :)

Exit Music (For a Film) - Radiohead

I did this with my friend Guillaume on piano and vocals. The piano is still the take one he recorded. We did his vocals in a few hours and I did the guit and other vocals the next day. Still not completed as you can see...

Enjoy :)

Spies - Coldplay

Not easy to make this one works. Will get back to it one day I'm sure.
For now, this is where it stands. A great song by Chris Martin. Was happy to see them live in Abu Dhabi a few months back. It was an awesome new year show!!

Enjoy :)
