Colored lights stopped their whirling 
Their flickering blue lights
Th-their flickering (lights)
For the boy and the girl

[Chorus]
They're gonna make us marry next
They're gonna make us marry next
They're gonna make us marry next
They're gonna make us marry (marry)

[Verse 3]
For the girl and the boy
And the boy and the girl
And the girl (marry)
And the boy and the girl
Girl (electricity)
Boy and the girl
Girl (electricity)
Boy and the girl

[Interlude]
Flicker flicker
Flicker flicker
[Verse 4]
Marvel at the mad things (flicker flicker)
And how the lick-a-thing moves so
And we don't even know

[Chorus]
Th-they're gonna make you married at Christmas
(And they're gonna marry at Christmas time)
(Candles and dark things at the time
With me) make you married at Christmas

[Verse 2]
N---n-now the lights have come back (flicker flicker)
Now the lights have come back (flicker flicker)
Take a look
Take a look
Take a look at all the (flicker flicker)
Flickering lights (flicker flicker)

In "Black Tainted Heart", Esplanada delivers a tense and mesmerizing track, where the guitars cut like flashes of lightning and the bass pulses like a heart on the edge. The impassioned vocals explore the shadows and light of a scarred soul that still stands tall. Balancing rock intensity with emotional depth, it’s a song that strikes as much as it soothes, leaving a lasting mark in its wake.

Black Tainted Heart

With "Do You Remember", Esplanada delivers taut, in-your-face rock. Sharp riffs, a driving bass, and relentless drums push the track forward like a race against time, never easing up. A pure burst of energy that confirms the most powerful side of Esplanada’s second album.

Ce texte qui s'inscrit dans le mouvement Metoo (qui n'est pas mi-rien) est un hymne déclaré à l'indépendance des femmes. La musique de Denis Caouette, un peu rock, est allégée par des vents qui rappellent les belles années du groupe Chicago.

This song, which is part of the MeToo movement (which is no small thing), is a declaration of women's independence. Denis Caouette's slightly rock-inspired music is lightened by wind instruments reminiscent of the glory days of the band Chicago.

SI TU VEUX SAVOIR
A Dominique Briand

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Suis les saisons, suis la rivière
Qui chante et danse dans son lit
Se riant des vaines colères

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Essaie de suivre ce nuage
Qui a toujours la même envie
De caresser des paysages

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Écoute le vent de la mer
Gonflant les voiles de ma vie
Pour une école buissonnière

 Refrain : On n’emprisonne pas le vent
Venant de l’ouest ou du levant
J’ai toujours été arrimée
Aux ailes de la liberté

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Regarde encore dans ton miroir
Pour y retrouver l’utopie
Le cœur ardent de mon espoir

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Il te faudra de la patience
Car jamais mon cœur ne frémit
Pour ceux qui manquent d’élégance
  
Refrain : On n’emprisonne pas le vent
Venant de l’ouest ou du levant
J’ai toujours été arrimée
Aux ailes de la liberté… (ter)        
(SOLO)

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Écoute le vent de la mer
Gonflant les voiles de ma vie
Pour une école buissonnière

Refrain final : Maintenant tu sais qui je suis
Comme un bateau mi-eau, mi-air
Plein de rêves inassouvis
Mais qu’aucun port ne pourra taire
Nannanananananana !

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
To Dominique Briand

If you want to know who I am
Follow the seasons, follow the river
That sings and dances in its bed
Laughing at vain anger

If you want to know who I am
Try to follow that cloud
That always has the same desire
To caress the landscape

If you want to know who I am
Listen to the sea wind
Filling the sails of my life
For a day of playing hooky

Chorus: You can't imprison the wind
Coming from the west or the east
I've always been tied
To the wings of freedom

If you want to know who I am
Look again in your mirror
To find utopia
The burning heart of my hope

If you want to know who I am
You will need patience
For my heart never flutters
For those who lack elegance
  
Chorus: You cannot imprison the wind
Coming from the west or the east
I have always been tied
To the wings of freedom... (ter)        
(SOLO)

If you want to know who I am
Listen to the sea wind
Filling the sails of my life
For a day of playing hooky

Final chorus: Now you know who I am
Like a boat half in the water, half in the air
Full of unfulfilled dreams
But no port can silence them
Nannanananananana!

Murmurations

The left wants us ignored or silenced
Or they'll just resort to violence
The news purports to be unbiased
The Lord used a shepherd to slay a giant

They've got no room for moderates
Who'll they accuse of intolerance?
We need to stay sober and alert
Or we'll end up like Charlie Kirk

They want us to suffer in silence
To be accepting and compliant
To follow their left wing science
Or wash our hands of it, like Pontius Pilate

David looked that giant in the face
And said "today's your dyin' day."
That giant profaned the Lord's name
And by a shepherd's hand was slain

Men and women of this great land
We need to grab the Savior's hand
And stand for what we believe
Repent n humbly hit our knees

They want us to suffer in silence
To be accepting and compliant
To follow their left wing science
Or wash our hands of it, like Pontius Pilate

David looked that giant in the face
And said "today's your dyin' day."
That giant profaned the Lord's name
And by a shepherd's hand was slain

The left wants us ignored or silenced
Or they'll just resort to violence
The news purports to be unbiased
The Lord used a shepherd to slay a giant
They want us to suffer in silence
To be accepting and compliant
To follow their left wing science
Or wash our hands of it, like Pontius Pilate

They've got no room for moderates
Who'll they accuse of intolerance?
We need to stay sober and alert
Or we'll end up like Charlie Kirk
We need to stay sober and alert
Or we'll end up like Charlie Kirk

Like Charlie Kirk

Esplanada is a French-Dutch project produced in Paris (France).

Born from the meeting of three musicians with complementary backgrounds, Esplanada has developed a distinctive sonic identity: immersive, melodic, and cinematic alternative rock.
The band is made up of:
•	Ray Van D — Vocals and guitars, lyricist, a compelling performer with a voice instantly recognizable.
•	Philippe M — Composer, multi-instrumentalist (bass, guitars, keyboards), and the architect of the band’s soundscapes.
+	Tony Morra — Drums and percussions, master of organic groove and rhythmic precision.
+	Killian Cruiser: Keyboards
Their music flows between the emotional depth of The National, the atmospheric boldness of Radiohead, and the progressive power of Porcupine Tree, while retaining its own distinct identity. Each song unfolds like a story, with a carefully crafted dramatic arc, precise arrangements, and a focus on nuance.
With their second album, the duo affirms a universe where tension meets serenity, shadow meets light, and energy meets contemplation — an invitation to immerse oneself in a sonic journey that leaves a lasting impression.
