sinceramente...isso é bom, os efeitos, a calmaria a letra,

All We Want Out of Life is To Have a Life To Live

Jazz / Blues swampy tune; recoded in the Greek mountains ... with a lot of New York care and attention. Danceable too ... if you can do the Foxtrot

Another incredibly fun partnership with the always brilliant Marc Freak.

A prolific musician, author, photographer and (as he defines himself) oddity, Marc's influences range from the lo-fi pop of Guided by Voices to the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, via the glam of Bowie and the rawness of Iggy Pop. Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe, an experiment in DIY and lo-fi. A visit to Marc Freak's Soundcloud page is an absolute must:

LYRICS
SKINNY JEANS
Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Dreaming of days gone by
When my ribs could be clearly seen
Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Years fly by
As hard as I try
Exposing from my unzipped fly

Fighting against a coming age
But with a positive thought
I escape out of my cage
Fighting against a coming age
I'm tense I'm fraught
From battles fought
I'll run so fast I can't be caught

Look at the age lines and beware
Take in a closer look
And you'll see the greying hair
Look at the age lines and beware
By hook or crook
Not by the book
I'm charging for a second look

Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Dreaming of days gone by
When my ribs could be clearly seen
Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Years fly by
As hard as I try
Exposing from my unzipped fly

I've got a question
Through coughs I try
I may as well just
Give up and die
The ticking clock it cannot lie
I've got a question
But I forgot it some time long agao

Look in the mirror I seem small
I can just barely blink
And I'm not there much at all
Look in the mirror I seem small
I can barely think
I've armour chink
My rotting corpse gives off a stink

Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Dreaming of days gone by
When my ribs could be clearly seen
Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Years fly by
As hard as I try
Exposing from my unzipped fly

Skinny Jeans

'Clear signs' is a mournful track which deals with memory loss. The sentiment comes from time spent in a dementia unit with my Grandfather. This is a setting many of us have been confronted with. In my experience, there were glimpses of clarity and beauty, especially when singing old songs together. This song is a collaboration with my friend Robbie. It is Robbie on vocals, euphonium and percussion. I provided the guitars, mandolin and most of the lyrics. Full lyrics below:   

Fades in, fades out
Checks in, checks out
Clear signs are hard to find
Through the static

Tunes in, tunes out
Drops in, drops out
Clear signs are hard to find

An old friend brings a faded memory
A sweet song sings a soothing melody
Blue skies are calling through the clouds
Sundown and shadows crowd around
 
Tunes in, tunes out
Flows in, flows out
Hard signs are clear to find

Ease in, ease out
Glide in, glide out
Clear signs I here define

Cuts in, cuts out

Clear Signs

Stephan et moi nous sommes rencontré sur Soundcloud. Il m’a contacté en me demandant si je voulais faire une collaboration avec lui,  en entandant sa superbe voix j’ai tout de suite accepté.
J’ai composé la chanson de base et on l’a travaillée à distance. Faut dire que Stephan est originaire de l’Île Maurice mais demeure en Irlande et  moi je suis au Québec. Sur ma musique, il a composé paroles et mélodie et j’ai finalisé l’arrangement en me fiant sur son travail. Vous remarquerai qu’il n’y a pas de couplets et refrains répétitifs comme c’est la plupart du temps le cas et cela est voulu ainsi. 
Ses magnifiques envolées vocales combinées à une musique de genre  pop-funk-jazz donne lieu à une chanson vraiment originale.  

Bonne écoute! 

Stephan and I met on Soundcloud. He contacted me and asked if I wanted to collaborate with him, and I immediately accepted when I heard his superb voice.
I composed the basic song and we worked it remotely. I must say that Stephan is originally from Mauritius but lives in Ireland and I am in Quebec. On my music, he composed lyrics and melody and I finalized the arrangement by relying on his work. You will notice that there are no repetitious verses and choruses as is most of the time the case and this is intended so. 
Its magnificent vocal outbursts combined with a pop-funk-jazz genre music gives rise to a truly original song.  

Good listening!


Breathing Underwater

Breathing Underwater (Ft. Stephan Manu)

Lyrics:

Excuse me if I shed a tear, I’ve no right to do so
I might have picked up a scent on cool summer evenings
On a cramped, busy side stage
On that ugly street they find solace in cigarettes and stale beer
Light hair framing a face with wild eyes
Fiery but kind
And now the street is deserted
An empty space
An echo where the scent of a muse still lingers
Still getting under my skin

Excuse me if I take a stroll, the wind and rain lured me
I close my eyes and inhale thrilling, fleeting memories 
Energetic movement
Beauty burning behind my eyelids, immortalizing a fading dream
Light hair framing a face with wild eyes
Fiery but shy
And now the street is deserted
An empty space
An echo where the scent of a muse still lingers
Still getting under my skin

Vocals, piano and production by Laura Bos 2024

Muse (with new vocals and edited)

Can't live by only bread, won't satisfy
Need something for my head to glorify
Need something for my heart to tenderize
And that thing you got that makes me appetize
Won't you lay it down all over me?

You cut right through the specter of my games
You come right to the center of my shame
You put cracks in my face's hollow pride
And shine a light on places I'd rather hide
Won't you lay it down all over me?

Never been a simple man
Won't you take me as I am
Never been a simple man
I know you can understand

Won't you lay it down all over me?

Lay It Down All Over Me
