I’ve been working so hard you just wouldn’t believe,
And I’m tired!
There’s so little time and so much to achieve,
And I’m tired!
I’ve been lying here holding the grass in it’s place,
Pressing a leaf with the side of my face,
Tasting the apples to see if they’re sweet,
Counting the toes on a centipede’s feet.
I’ve been memorizing the shape of that cloud,
Warning the robins to not chirp so loud,
Shooing the butterflies off the tomatoes,
Keeping an eye out for floods and tornadoes.
I’ve been supervising the work of the ants
And thinking of pruning the cantaloupe plants,
Timing the sun to see what time it sets,
Calling the fish to swim into my nets,
And I’ve taken twelve thousand and forty-one breaths,
And I’m TIRED!

-Shel Silverstein

I'm Tired (Shel Silverstein) live from my bedroom

December is a fitting name for French producer, Tomas More: just as the month sits in a transient and liminal space in the northern hemisphere as nature seemingly pauses and the old year passes to the new, December's music similarly sits in between genres; neither here nor then completely.

With the release of What Remains of Us, first half of a two-part project entitled Transform, December transits through the spaces between electro, goth, coldwave, jungle, and dark ambient creating a collage-like work.

Of the release, More states, “I am fascinated by music that is impossible to pin down and classify, making it my own weird little style. Of course there's my never-ending attraction to the bizarre and mysterious; to film references; romanticism but I'd say the central element of this record is the idea that everything can subtly be blending together: everything can be transformed; like organic matter made out of our obsessions resulting in a strange and transformed piece of sound that, I hope, sounds like me: in the qualities, and in the flaws. A genuine identity made of never-ending transformations."

This concept of deft hybridisation is further explored in the sleeve photography by Marie Quéau, a continuation of their work together on recent December A/V live shows. The image evokes Cronenberg-esque body horror, footage from deep-sea shipwreck exploration, or even autopsy footage, giving a clear sense of unease whilst avoiding mere shock value.

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
I'm just imagining it
You and me, sitting right next in this train
Lay on my shoulder
I'll listen to your heartbeat
Lay on my shoulder
Yeah I'll listen to your heartbeat
I'll keep you, safe and sound
Let me keep you, safe and sound

[Verse]
I feel incomplete
When you're not around
I think we're made for each other
Please be my savior
And I'll never ask for another
And the times I hurt you
We'll make up together
I promise you

[Chorus]
I'm just imagining it
You and me, sitting right next in this train
Lay on my shoulder
I'll listen to your heartbeat
Lay on my shoulder
Yeah I'll listen to your heartbeat
I'll keep you, safe and sound
Let me keep you, safe and sound

[Outro]
Yeah let me keep you safe and sound
Because your pain is contagious to me...

keep you
