(French translation above)

We dance

On the spleen of the world
When silence mocks the bird 
On all my sleepless nights
When black anxiety bites

Chorus :
I dance, you dance
You dance, I dance
We dance dance dance

On the blues of my words
When taken from bad cards
On my love that is gone
When gone for a new dawn
(chorus)

On my life that had shut 
When wanders too long but
On my days full of hope
When they’re ready to cope
(instrumental)

On the spleen…
On my nights…
On the blues of my words
On my love…
On my life…
On my days full of hope…
(chorus)

Myckaël Marcovic,  March 28nd, 2021

On danse

Sur le blues de la Terre
Quand l’oiseau manque d’air
Sur mes nuits sans sommeil
Quand le malaise veille

Refrain :
Je danse, tu danses
Tu danses, je danse
Oui ! Danse danse danse on danse

Sur la fin de mes mots
Quand ils n’ont plus d’écho
Sur mon cœur en débris
Quand la nuit désunit
(refrain)

Sur ma vie affamée
Quand plus rien ne vient mais
Sur mes jours pleins d’espoir
Quand ils revoient un phare
(instrumental)

Sur le blues...
Sur mes nuits...
Sur la fin de mes mots
Sur mon cœur
Sur ma vie
Sur mes jours pleins d’espoir (refrain)

We dance (english version)

Just some snakes in the grass.
Slithering out in the road as you pass.
Fragments deep in the past.
You move on.

Like a cat in a bag.
Like a young lad on tag.
Like a wrinkled old hag.
Who belongs?

Take me away from it all.
Drag me up out of the squall.

Just a thorn in your side.
A lion sits watching and waiting besides.
Found a good place to hide.
Waiting on.

A teenager acting their age.
Considering things like a bird in a cage.
An empty box filled up with rage.
For no one.

Take me away from it all.
Take me away from the squall.
Take me away by the hand
Take me away from the land.
When we go...

...Sailing, on the sea.
We'll go sailing.
Just you and me.

Yeah, we go sailing.
From the land.
Yeah, we'll go sailing. 
Just take my hand.

We go sailing on the waves.
We go sailing, feeling brave,
and the warm sun will heat our bones.
As we go sailing, we alone.

Sailing on the sea.
We go sailing. 
Just you and me.
Yeah, we go sailing.
From the land.
Yeah, we'll go sailing.
Just take my hand.

Phragmites is like the species of reed used for the pens to make cuneiform, and since my logo-era things went from polygons to cuneiform, it seemed appropriate to put the plant species as a track name for the first of these new albums

Just a strange conversation I had on Twitter/X and a few other concepts rolled together:

Note: I am in nowhere near this dark a mood it's just the direction writing the poetry dragged me in.

Lyrics:

As my prospects generally began to sink
I became a master of the slow blink
It seemed a better expression of calm
Than the tried and true facepalm

Every day i get closer to understanding
why Nietzsche went insane
He failed to last until the serum
of Gödel's incompleteness theorem
Or maybe it was just cancer of the brain

While nibbling on my picky bits
I stumbled into mumbling fits
Around the looming dilemma that sits
On the horizon just ahead 

Lucidity deploys a myriad of suns that melt one's mind
And then one day you wake to find
How badly you'd been left behind
Which only increased my dread

Starting as a sort of joke
I decided to invoke a sort of chant
To break me of my internal rant

Like lobbing coconades at a deka wall
I blazed a path through it all
I found my self devolving
On a hackneyed tool of problem solving

"Yes/No column, come to life"
Rectify my grum moment
By serving up the missing component
To wend my way out of the mess

Every day it's more demanding
Increasing my chances of landing 
At a place of inability to maintain
The trick's to master fear of
People that I'd rather not hear from
Or maybe it's just answering that's a pain

Insatiable truths that devour
Like maggots eating flour
Snap at my heels every hour
The trick's to find a state of grace
In weathering what i'd rather not face
Before it grows beyond what I can tame

"Yes/No column, come to life"
Resolve my little internal strife
Rid me of the pitfalls that are rife
And cut this gordian knot like a knife
44

When I catch myself being a try-hard
Or an insufferable grognard
It helps to pass the time
By flattening the occasional taxi lime
But eventually I return
To suddenly learn
How to break this paradigm

Vale of Tears (feat. Andy Chavez)

Vale Of Tears (feat. Andy Chavez)

a feel-good track to get you going, perfect vibe to be uplifted and to get your mood turned  up a notch 

Jive.mp3

New Hotel

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
