LOVE this song.  Reminds me of Good Old Pat Fish and Max Eider.

Very good guitar playing. I love that rhythm. And the lyrics are very beautiful.

oom-ba-pa / chi-tat-ah
oom-ba-pa / chi-tat-ah

any given tree is more important
than all the songs we've ever sung about love
and any given rock is destined to travel further
than all the words and all the names we've ever known of

la-la lai-la
la-la lai-la la

it's so easy to waltz around with big thoughts in our head
like what if this is all just a dream
and why not color the world in the way I feel
when so often I feel like the only thing that's real?
except...

any given tree is more important
than all the novels we've ever written about love
and every little pebble is destined to travel further
than any idea we've had the faintest of

oom-ba-pa / chi-tat-ah
oom-ba-pa / chi-tat-ah
la-la-lai-la
oom / ah

it's so magical to sing about blackbirds and nightingales
until all we can hear is ourselves
see our face on the moon and our toes in the garden
years in the tree rings and dates in the carbon
but then we all know...

any given tree is more important
than all the poems we have written about love
and any grain of sand is destined to travel further
than all the sweet melodies we know of

la-la la-la-la-la
la-la la-la-la-la

“Left Behind,” a song about relationship insecurity, can be found on our debut album, “Carbonic.”

Left Behind

Central theme: freedom, understood not only as liberation from physical or social chains, but as a vital energy that flows in the blood and that no wall or mask can contain.
Lyrics:

Verse 1
Barefoot I wander on the burning line
Every shadow cracks, the night resigns
Hungry for 

Chorus
Freedom! A river roaring in my blood, fredom fredom fredom
Freedom! A bolt of lightning that splits the current, baby
Baby, baby, baby

Verse 2
No iron wall can contain such strength
no iron chain can bind his name
now off with the mask and off with the disguise

Chorus
Freedom! A river roaring in my blood
Freedom! A bolt of lightning that splits the current, baby
Baby, baby, baby

Bridge/End
And if I fall, I will not fall into the fire.
I am no longer a rebellious soul.
Who opened the doors to me? Who did I meet in that endless night?
My spirit now flies on wings of light
Freedom, freedom, freedom...

Atmosphere: part with almost mystical and desert images (“Barefoot I wander on the burning line”), which evoke a journey of transformation. Air and fire become symbolic elements of thirst, research and rebirth.

    Repeating “freedom”: it creates an effect of enchantment or liberating cry, as if it were a choir that accompanies inner liberation.

    Symbols:

        The river and the lightning: they represent the unstoppable power of freedom.

        The mask and disguise: they allude to false identities and the revelation of the authentic self.

        The chains and walls: they symbolize the constraints that the self manages to break.

    Final turning point: from the rebellious tone we move to a new inner peace: no longer a “rebel” soul that struggles, but a spirit that “flies on the wings of light”. It is the conquest not only of external freedom, but above all of inner freedom.

In summary, the passage tells a path of liberation and spiritual rebirth, with strong and almost visionary images, where the initial struggle turns into a luminous revelation.

THUNDER

Friends, this is a little song that hopefully makes you feel something. The good thing about this song is that you can hear it multiple times without losing too much time :)

Tar and Feathers

I am not a big fan of labelling people and things in general. Music neither by the way. In that respect, my main distinguishing is « I like it » or « I don’t like it » and as Emerson said « A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds », so yeap, even those two simple categories can change after few listening!

For those of you who think it’s a too easy escape, I will try. This song is inspired by other world, folk and jazz authors. If I have to, I would describe it as my personal contribution to the world music with far Asian themes and jazzy kind of transitions, which creates folkish feelings. All those based on percussion, contrabass, acoustic guitar and naturally pipa.

But recognise it: it’s bit like speaking about the menu you had last night at this new restaurant. There are so many ways to describe a culinary experience: using technical words, describing the colors, the consistencies, explaining the tastes, savours, flavours, feelings... But you always end up summarising by « I loved it! » or « Once is enough, thanks! ».

So, for you today, « My Chinese lunch », just listen to it and let me know if you like it or how you would describe it! Hope you will come back!
