That's such a great song. The words are amazing - at least the English ones because I don't speak french and it's hard to copy paste translate them on my phone. "Say my name but not to my face so I don't put the blame on you for things I would do if I got Deja vu." And lots of others. Love the whole tune and sound too.

yes, what's in a name? love the mix of French and English (took it in high school but don't remember a thing so can't translate) but it's beautiful. The treatment of thr vocals here is Elliot Smith-ish which I love. I like all the Walnuts you do in the guitar progression and great lead. I listened multiple times, really enjoy this one

the vibe, the mix, the lyricism, (french?!?) you know how I feel about this one Eth.  amazing!

Love that melody!! Reminds of the Beatles.

Love this bridge.....I would've gone to this right after the second the verse.

Very kool song man!! Would love to practice my mixing on it. Hit me up lets talk about it.  ray@rayprim.com

What a great opening stanza.  "help me pretend it's a name that's worth saying" - damn, there is so much in that.  I really like the mix of English and French and then the way you draw attention directly to this "A name means in English The same thing in French No need for translations This deep in the trenches So what’s in a name that’s not Already said".  Really really cool concept.  AND the melody is great, especially love that bridge.  Very well done! ~joel

Say my name
And help me pretend it’s a name
That’s worth saying again
In the end
A name’s just a
Word on a page in
The guest book at
Chateau de Rien
Au revoir a la vie tres bien
Bienvenue dans la réel monde Ethan

Say my name
Loud as you can
Til my ears start to ring and then
I’ll finally go deaf
And I’ll lose what I want
Ecouter pour les raisons s'arrêtent
De vivre la vie tres bien
Bienvenue dans la réel monde Ethan

Say my name
But not to my face
So I don’t place the blame on you
For things I would do
If I got Deja vu
Et je veux être perdue
Si ce n'était pas absolu
Je m'en moquerais, et vous?

A name means in English
The same thing in French
No need for translations
This deep in the trenches
So what’s in a name that’s not
Already said
Or how bout the ones
That have long since been dead
A name is a number
Sans serif’s the script
Highlight the words
Change the font if you wish
Typewriter, printing press
Word document
You’ll always see names
But their meanings, well that’s where you guess

Say my name
Please break me free from this
Silly word game that I’ve played
For too long
But I’m holding on
To the hope that
This song will be the coup de grâce
Ce ne sera pas pour longtemps
S’il vous plaît oubliez mon nom
