LYRIC
In the dreams I dream about you 
We’ve always time to spare 
And it seems like you’re about to
Tell me that you care

It’s the loneliest of feelings
To wake in the cold dawn
And the dream is gone
The dream is gone

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
When the morning arrives
With its first sunbeam
I go where the day takes me
But at night I can dream

In the dreams I dream there’s times when
Rain falls down in sheets
I can’t find a door to step in
As I walk the empty streets

Then you’re there to offer shelter
As you hold a raincoat wide
And I fold inside 
I fold inside 
Your raincoat wide

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
I lay down my head
And my heart pumps away
My body needs rest 
But my brain wants to play
It’s the world of the past
Sent out in a stream
I may be an old man 
But I can still dream
I can still dream
The dreams I dream

The Dreams I Dream

[Verse]
Mon petit camarade
Lors de son examen
Dans les étoiles se trouvent
Le meilleur vin.
 [Verse 2]
Un âne n'est pas un colibri
Le coq ne pond plus d'œuf
A côté de notre maison
Est celle de notre voisin.
[Chorus]
Réfléchir n’est pas ma tarte
Un triangle n'est pas carré
Dansons jusqu'à très tard
La vie pleine de secrets
[Verse 3]
Le matin lève lentement
Le soleil brille pour nous
Dans la cour les enfants
Les rires guérissent tout
[Verse 4]
Les jours passent si vite
Le passé loin derrière
Ne restons pas sans suite
Emportés par le temps

Un Triangle N'est Pas Carré

==== LYRICS ====

Hold on to your dreams
Let us see what they'll become
Hold on to your dreams
Like tomorrow will never come

Don’t sit back and settle for
All the stuff you see that's wrong
And don’t you listen to
All their broken dreams

But if you trust in yours
Then they will grow 

Tonight let's show them
We can be just what we want 
Tonight we're moving our dreams 
From the back row to the front

We'll find a way through it
Oh Lord I hope I'm right
We'll swerve the final hurdles
Move from the dark into the light 

You gotta work at it
So head up high you'll be alright  

You've reached the ceiling
So break it into dust
Do what makes you come alive
Forget the other stuff

So hold onto your dreams
Let us see what they'll become
Hold on to your dreams
Like tomorrow will never come

You’ve got to take a chance 
before you time is gone, so

Tonight let's show them
We can be just what we want 
Tonight we're moving our dreams
From the back row to the front

Tonight we’ll show them
We will be just what we want 
Tonight we come alive

Hold On To Your Dreams

Why entropy? Entropy is a measure of disorder and there are always more messy than tidy variations. Entropy is chaos. In art, we strive to bring order and symmetry and thus create an aesthetic beauty that the universe would never create by itself. So, out of the sea of ​​random combinations, the artist must create something meaningful. An artist always tries to bring order to chaos.

Entropy (For more than one guitar)

Salut tout le monde,
voici Le clip du morceau 'La grâce de la solitude, où l'anxiété sociale' extrait du 4ème album de M'Z intitulé 'Émancipés du vide ?' qui sortira le 20 septembre 2024 sur le Label Italien LUMINOL RECORDS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anemj8t2NfU

"Émancipés du vide ?"
Est une réflexion mélancolique sur les gouffres émotionnels que l'humain entretient, sur la difficulté de nous extirper de nos attractions diverses vers le néant, nos incapacités à regarder les déchets mentaux que nous produisons sans passer par la case culpabilité, c'est une critique de la normalisation, du conformisme, du positivisme creux vanté par nos esprits trop marketés et en quête du chemin le plus rapide vers un Sens quel qu'il soit. L'illusion d'être libre dans un monde qui vante des platitudes érigées en valeurs censées incarner cette liberté et pourtant située à vingt mille lieues sous ce que pourrait être un début de chemin vers une liberté effective. Enfin, il symbolise la nécessité vitale de retrouver notre naïveté perdue et de réapprendre à voir le beau et à œuvrer en ce sens.

La grâce de la solitude ou l'anxiété sociale :
Premier morceau qui ouvrira l'album, traite de la difficulté d'évoluer dans le contexte du groupe social face à cet animal qui fonctionne bien trop souvent comme un inhibiteur d'individus et qui par les réflexes et stéréotypes qui conduisent ces groupes, et le consensus vers le médiocre que cette masse désire trop souvent, peuvent mettre très mal à l'aise une partie des humains qui se sentent bridés et inadaptés au fonctionnement de ces amas d'humains angoissants tant ils peuvent rapidement muer en usines à oppressions pour peu qu'une tête ose contourner certaines des coutumes en vigueur.

J'espère que le son et l'image vous plairont !
Il a était tourné globalement sur les hauteurs de Mirepoix (09)en complément nous avons quelques images de ce morceau joué lors des concerts à la ferme thuronis Alaigne (11) et au café associatif de Marquefave (31) en août 2024

La grâce de la solitude ou l'anxiété sociale

La grâce de la solitude ou l'anxiété sociale - (VIDEO CLIP in description)

Cast of Characters:


Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – foundational acoustic and electric guitars, distorted electric guitar, and the seed idea
Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – vocals, lyrics, high organ, toy piano, percussion, sound effects, production, editing, mix
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- low organ, piano, synth flute, sound effects
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Composition – The Eclectic Collective


This song began its life as a hauntingly exquisite guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also stacked a couple of other guitar tracks in there for good measure. Ken was first up, adding his drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. Mark came in around the same time, though, and added his unique, Waitsian vocals with the lyrics that he wrote for it, too. He also added some really amazing organ parts, a toy piano which you can hear right after the banjo solo, and percussion that add a solid foundation for his voice and add magic throughout the song. Stephen followed shortly after with the big stroke guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear in there, too. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his organ and electric piano to seal the deal with the melodies and ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool sound effects you hear throughout, too.
  Every great song needs a great producer, and Mark filled the duty on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team.
  This one is an homage to Tom Waits in a deliberate way. We're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
A little like a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
Then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
And the hand bone’s connected to me
And every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
Soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

I am obsessed with arranging and remixing classical works with 21st century tools and instruments.  I limit my upload count to 15 or fewer, like a rolling album of sorts.
