Black Silence

world without light

Verses 1
In a world without light
Everything is desolate and empty
A world without light
I'll never see your eyes again
In a world without light
I don't see the sun anymore
In a world without light, I miss you so much

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

Verses 2
In a world without light, cruelty and suffering reign
I try to escape from her but I never get far
In a world without light, breathing is so difficult
In this world without light your eyes will never open again

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

bridge
Scream into the night but the echo fades away unheard
Pain tears my heart out but you don't hear me anymore

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

Outro
In a world without light no bird flies
This world without light
is a world without you
For me
For me

Welt Ohne Licht (translate lyrics in description)

Well this one is different . I asked Andrea to send me some mythical lyrics , which she did , and I put a basic idea for a song together . When I sent it to Axel to have a play about with it he completely transformed it into what it is  now . With his instrumentation and production , and Andreas fantastic and inspired lyrics , this is ( hopefully ) a joy to listen to , enjoy ! Next up on the 1st of November is a moody blues/rock song by Dave Cooper and myself , closely followed by 2 songs by myself . Me and Dave , and me and Gaz have just completed songs yet to have a release date , and me and Charlotte are half way through a new one . Thank you so much for listening .
Intro

Legend says a fortune

Can be found upon this earth

The map is in the Constellations

A myth of royal worth


V1

Queen Cassiopeia 

Known for her boastful vanity

Thought too highly of herself 

And enraged the powers that be


Punished by Poseidon

She was cast into the sky

Upon a golden throne she sits

Celestial she flies


Chorus 

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x2)


V2

She moved with the seasons

Slowly turning upside down

All the jewels adorning her

They fell upon the ground


The five bright stars denoting 

Five lost precious gems

The path to treasure can be yours

Connect the dots my friends


Chorus

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x3)


Solo duel


The five bright stars denoting 

Five lost precious gems

The path to treasure can be yours

Connect the dots my friends


Chorus

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x2)


Outro

She's Beautiful

		DISTANT LOVE

Copyright Music Fading Call 2013
Copyright Lyrics JoFa 2013

Long distance love
Fades away in the waves
Long distance minds
Can’t feel no love
Can’t feel no love
Anymore
		Long distance love…
Minds with no eyes
Can’t see no sunshine
Bodies miles apart
Won’t keep up the fire
Won’t keep up the desire
		Long distance love…
Waiting for ages
For you to care
Waiting for ages
To feel your skin on my skin
To feel your skin on my skin
		Long distance love…
Too many Gods away
To believe in love
Too many lies away
To believe in truth
We were once together
We were once together… but
		Long distance love…



Distant love

Love will

I am running in my dream
Really too scared to sleep
I need to wake up I know
I can’t be late
I am this open window

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

I am running in my dream
You need your clean clothes
And the hidden chocolate
Hope they won’t find it
Hope they won’t find it

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

20 minutes to breath
News, family and friends
The one that miss you, the one that hates you
The one that forgot you,
And you won’t forget

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

You talk to me and I feel better 
When I see you kept the light
You ask me about outside
The girls and the sea,
The café and the bars

Do you remember the smell of the bakery as the sun rises
On the sea
Her long hair and funny smile,
Her soft skin and sparking eyes.

KING KONG

© Copyright Lyrics & Music JoFa 2009

Used to climb the highest mountains
I am climbing the tallest buildings
I am the enemy of mankind
They stole my kingdom
They made me a slave
Killing Mother Nature
Grinding, digging, 
With no caring, no sharing

Let me be your King
Let me be your Kong
I am out of the jungle
Never been to a city
I don’t know about pity
But I will fight for you
But I will die for you

Savage they call me
Beast they treat me
But my heart in one
One sun born for you Star
You are the one for me
You are the one from far
I will take all the risk
Just for you, tiny lady

 
Let me be your King
Let me be your Kong
I am out of the jungle
Never been to a city
I don’t know about pity
But I will fight for you
But I will die for you


We the black hairy ones
We the proud Bonobo’s
We fight till the end
My human queen
I will stand alone against the world
Will give you my last blink
Will give you my last breath

If I came here to Soho
It’s for you my princess so…
So let me keep you in my hand
Feel your skin so thin, thin
Until the end, the end
It will take a thousand bullets
To stop my heart for you to beat
Let them think I am the monster
You know who made the disaster.

King Kong

Minority 

© Copyright JoFa & Al 2021

I am the minority
I belong to humanity

I am the emergency
Loosing blood with dignity

You are the minority
Surviving to mediocrity
Telling truth to hypocrisy

Small people with big idea
Are we, are we
Are we an anomaly?

You thrive, you thrive,
You thrive for conformity
Dreaming of web and TV
Looking at me like an old three

Fading ethnies, fading species
A fading call for eternity

We are the unknown color
Sounding like a secret language

You want to turn the pages of the book
To forget the story we wrote

You all look alike an scared
So scared of diversity

You throw me out of the house
But I may have the key
But I may have the key
Harmony, harmony…

Minority

IN THE DUST

Not even an echo of myself
Not even a shadow
Try to leave a trace
A print in the sand, a light in the sky
In the dust, invisible, invisible
In the concrete jungle
Try to be a tree and leave my fruits
Just to bring my grace and fade away
That’s my story, … no glory

In the dust

PLAY AROUND

It’s 6 in the morning
I hear the radio crying
I won't ever get up
I am still laying - sleeping
Stay here while it’s cold
And frightning outside - frightning outside
These people around are too serious
To save the planet 

	The world is round but we can’t play around - can’t play around
	Try to find another planet - another one
	Try to get out of the net
	Can’t get out of the bed 
	Can’t get out of the bed

Can’t smile today
These people around are too serious
To let me enjoy living - playing
I try to stay outside but anyway
I am in - the way (I got to pay)
These people around are too serious
To let anything grow
Except starvation and polution

The world is round but we can’t play around - can’t play around
	Try to find another planet - another one
	Try to get out of the net
	Can’t get out of the bed 
		Can’t get out of the bed

Play around

I outright stole this approach idea from 
Five Percent For Nothing
https://youtu.be/1bsFH6t8eFw
where the drum track was notated 
and the instrumentation was derived from that.
some additional tracking was done underneath
and the arrangement is a result of the edit.

silly fun... that runs too long....

FADING CALL

A duo musicians band From France and Tunisia

Electro / Rock music – Alternative Rock – Psychedelic ? How can we define ?
Here are a few comments that some listener left us : 

« Fantastic world vibe, so smooth »
« This is just lush but unnerving & dreamlike & tense. like a David Lynch movie. awesome tune. The harmonica just makes it even more other worldly.  »
« Just beautiful. the melody sinks in wonderfully & then the vocals soar in over the top heartbreaking but also life affirming! this reminds of Nick Caves song 'into my arms'  »
« Cool, mysterious ambience and great vocals »
« Totally enjoyed listening to these songs and vibe »
« This is freakin' brilliant. Love that arpeggio...  »
« Awe-inspiring sound »
« Interesting lyrics, great sounds - especially the harmonica »

FADING CALL
De la sagesse comme les statues détruites, les peuples et les espèces disparues, nous n’entendons plus l’appel. Un collectif qui use du son comme un lien : l’humanité, par delà les cultures, langues, territoires et religions. Le son du partage, une halte, une nuit, une heure, un vrai regard posé sur l’autre et… des bras qui nous serrent.

Mohamed KANNOU aka Nadsat
Tunisie
Composition, guitare, percussions, batterie.
Architecte mais aussi architecte du son, amoureux de son pays et particulièrement des iles Kerkennah d’où il est originaire : seul endroit au monde où les hommes possèdent une parcelle de mer. DJ, compositeur, indépendant et sensible…

Alexandre DELMAS aka Al
France/Iran
Composition, guitare, claviers.
Grand, imposant, et pourtant discret, sa stature ne fait qu’accentuer la force de ses arrangements. Iranien par sa mère, il grandit en France où il fait une école de cinéma.

Joseph FARRUGIA aka Jofa
France/Tunisie
Textes, chant, composition, guitare, harmonica.
Survivre à la noirceur de l’humanité, par l’écriture et la musique. Voir un poète en chaque mot et la fleur en chaque âme.
