Matter
(J. Belville)

You can say the words
To their faces
They won’t listen
You can sound it out
Any way you can
And
You can tell your dreams
To the world
They won’t listen
Your hopes and invention
Don’t matter to them

But they matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers 
Sing like sirens
To me

Standing by like a hero
With nothing to save
Up against all the
Water, wind, and the waves
And if you
Take a moment just to
Shield your face
Shut your mouth
Let your secrets
Keep their place
Oooh
You’ll tell them to no one

But you can tell them to me
You can tell them to me
And your sentiments are diamonds
To me
They matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers sing like sirens
To me

Lovesong For the Apocalypse
PRISTINA feat. Benét Comeau
(j.belville)

We're all lost and finally found
caught in the wake of the crashing sound
take my hand, let's spin it around
ashes, ashes, it all falls down

we are the voice of nothing to say
we are the lovesick coming of age
we are the choice of the free and insane
ashes, ashes, we all fall...

and we kiss like it's the end of the world
and the beginning of something we surround
as the city's burning down around us
and we hold tight, here at the end of the world
in the glimmer of hope that we have found
as the stars are falling down..

We're pushing through Hell!
We're calling down angels
We're walking though fire
Fire

tick tocks, the clock stops,
the bomb drops.
we've got the locks blocked, 
the long shot.
we watch the flames talk
and let it all burn.
ashes, ashes, it all falls down

Spin spin round
we can't walk it off
we're crashing down
we can't turn it off
we've lost and found our way
but we can wish it away.

and we kiss like it's the end of the world
and the beginning of something we surround
as the city's burning down around us
and we hold tight, here at the end of the world
in the glimmer of hope that we have found
as the stars are falling down..

We're pushing through Hell!
We're calling down angels
We're walking though fire

pushing through fire!

Violet Hours – Alone With Everyone

Violet Hours – Berlin

Founded by Joey Belville and fortified by Chrissy Jeter, electro-pop force The Echoing Green developed a genre-defying live act touring the world with various hardcore, ska, and rock bands - the genres making strange bedfellows at the time. Songwriting duo Belville & Jeter have evolved The Echoing Green into a dynamic and compelling pioneer of the electronic landscape, with an 11-album catalogue blending pop, rock, electro, new wave, post-punk, and synthpop, with singles featured on SyFy and Xbox’s DDR Universe. Rooted in a love for all electronica and shaped by pop sensibility, their music explores literary, philosophical, and spiritual depths through melodic hooks and dance-ready beats. 

The band found early inspiration in synth-heavy 80s groups Depeche Mode and New Order establishing their own style by infusing rock and synth elements into charismatic live shows. Their hybrid sound is often compared to indie/synth/new wave acts The Naked & Famous,  Actors, Cold Cave, Nine Inch Nails, and CHVRCHES soundtracking life on society’s fringe and drawing a diverse fan base ranging from goths to gospel-lovers, punks to pop enthusiasts.

Set for October 23 release, their new double-vinyl collection Violent Whispers: Songs and Stories from the Echoing Green offers a remastered overview of the unique spectrum of music they’ve created, from the dark, electro-grunge track “Revenge” (imagine NIN covering “Video Killed the Radio Star”) to the sparse, industrial cool of “Matter” to the bright, 80s new wave of “I Forget.”
