nada, nada, nada, no te entra en la razón.  /  nothing, nothing, it doesn't fit your mind.

Nada (He pensado en la muerte)

Rencontre entre deux "moments" pour n'en former qu'un. De l'harmonie et de la dissonance, la musique est un reflet fugace de la vie comme un passage furieux ou apaisé, cette force irrépressible qui renverse, qui bouscule nos merveilleuses existences comme un éternel recommencement.
Merci infiniment à Rosmarino de m'avoir permis d'emprunter un "moment", ce chemin là.

Un Momento - Rosmarino Baia - Jacques Lemaire

words and music K. Gennery
For Lauren.

one step at a time moves you a little closer
to the white winning line not so far for you to go now

were willing you on to break the tape
smash the record experience the roar of the crowd
enjoy the occasion embrace the adulation

whether a babies crawl or a giants stride
 doesnt matter which you take
when the destinations happiness
make sure you get there in the end

i could feel it as we talked see it in those beautiful blue eyes
you have so much to give all to live for
no more suffering raise your own family
go travel the world
this dedication is a celebration of life
this dedication is a celebration of life

Hazy mornings with you
Everything’s gone downhill

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
Cause you care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Just a last time then I’ll disappear
All of our tainted years

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
You care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

SANCTUARY

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere
 
Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
Old friends, no more these sounds! 
Let us sing more cheerful songs 
More full of joy! 
More full of joy!
Joy, bright spark of divinity, daughter of Elysium 
Fire-inspired we tread thy Sanctuary 
Sanctuary…

Joy!

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere

Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
All you millions, I embrace you 
Well this kiss is for all the world
And you millions, oh I embrace you all
This kiss is for everyone 
All the world…

A Fifties era rock & roll heartthrob has his heart broken for the first time...
From the EP "Smilers"
Lyrics:
I had to fall in love with the girl of my dreams
The girl that lets you understand
What the universe means
But then she up & broke my heart
She tore me apart at the seams
She just looked at me and said
"Do you think you have a monopoly on tears?"
Monopoly on tears

I was the last
Self actualized Man 
Walking on planet earth
I took her up to "promise" hill
Looking for a thrill
Monopoly on tears

Wolfman Jack he won't console me
And the songs on the radio
You know, they just start to bore me
You know I could be your hard luck sock hop puppet
(All the ways I could..)
I could be your Cadillac fins
I could be your suburban
Underground 
Bomb shelter 
Best friend
You don't have a monopoly on tears
Monopoly on tears

Pale Fire W/ Grave

Lyrics by Tony Harris & Glen Granthem
Vocals, Music & Mix by Glen Granthem

In times of old the men would travel west
Searching for silver and gold with little sleep or rest
The lack of housing, It was back breaking work
Living underground digging in the dirt

(Chorus)
Searching for silver and gold
Few got rich in those days of old
Searching for silver and gold
To end up dead and buried in a hole

The lack of law and order The mini camps took lots of lives
From the East and the South They gambled with their life
In all the wrong places they searched for silver and gold
Covered wagons on horse back clipper ships strong and bold.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

(Repeat Chorus)

BEFORE WE FALL INTO THE FALL
LIKE IN A GREYISH RAINY HOLE
LET’S HAVE A LAST DATE
AND CELEBRATE
BABY WHAT A WONDROUS SUMMER WE HAD 

JE ME SOUVIENS D’HIER
COMME SI C’ÉTAIT HIER
LES GENOUX DE MA GRAND-MÈRE
ET LES SAPONAIRES

C’EST DU SAVON PAS CHER
DU TEMPS DES LAVANDIÈRES
DE L’EAU DE LA RIVIÈRE
ET DES SAPONAIRES

BEFORE WE FALL INTO THIS HOLE
THAT PEOPLE USUALLY CALL THE FALL
LET’S HAVE A LAST DATE
AND CELEBRATE
BABY WHAT A WONDROUS SUMMER WE HAD

DÈS LA FIN DE L’HIVER
VIENNENT LES PRIMEVÈRES
BYE BYE LE MONOTONE
HEY BONJOUR LE PIVERT

MAIS TOUT ÇA C’EST DERRIÈRE
VOICI LES SAPONAIRES
QUI ANNONCENT L’AUTOMNE 
QUI ANNONCE L’HIVER

BEFORE WE FALL INTO THE FALL
A DEEP DARK GREYISH RAINY HOLE

DANS CET ENTRE-DEUX GUERRES
LE PARADIS L’ENFER
ENTRE L’ÉTÉ L’HIVER

SEEMS I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
FEELS LIKE IT FELT BEFORE
SEEMS I’VE SEEN YOU BEFORE
OR
WAS IT IN BALTIMORE

HEY I’VE HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE
A MILLION TIMES AND MAYBE MORE    
THE WAY I LOOKED THE CLOTHES I WORE
OR
JUST A TOUCH OF CHRISTIAN DIOR


SEEMS I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
FEELS LIKE I’VE SEEN YOU BEFORE
WAS I THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
OR
ONLY THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

SO RENDEZ-VOUS BEFORE
LE DÉJÀ-VU LE NEVERMORE
IN A DREAM IN BALTIMORE 
OR
IN GERMANY BEFORE THE WAR 


SEEMS I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE

BEFORE (Lyrics) + Barbara Browning & Gary Reeves

WE’VE SAID IT ONCE WE CAN SAY IT THRICE

In the city of Constanta, Romania, we passed before a tombstone from the Roman times where those words were engraved. 
Here is the song that came...

I CECILIA ARTEMISIA LIE HERE.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, WHO AND WHOSE I AM, LISTEN :

WHEN I WAS 13 A YOUNG MAN LOVED ME, THEN I MARRIED AND BORE ONE CHILD, ONE DAUGHTER, THE VERY IMAGE 
OF MY FACE. 

THE CHILD DIED FIRST AND SHORT TIME AFTER, ME TOO. 
I LEFT THE LIGHT OF THE SUN. MY HUSBAND PENTANOS LIVES AND MOURNS ME WITH FAINT VOICE. 

AS WELL MY GOOD FATHER WEEPS BECAUSE I RETREATED HERE. A SALUTATION TO YOU PASSER-BY WHOEVER YOU SHOULD BE, YOU WHO PASS BY MY GRAVE

REMEMBRANCE. NOTHING DEPENDS ON HUMANS EVERYTHING UNDER THE POWER OF DESTINY

TIME DESTROYS EVERYTHING BUT RETAINS THIS : THE GLORY OF THE LIVING AND THE VIRTUE OF THOSE WHO ARE DEAD
LIVE LONG PASSER-BY

SALUTATION PASSER-BY
WHOEVER YOU SHOULD BE
YOU WHO PASS BY MY GRAVE
SALUTATION

WATCHING YOU

Texte Français et Google traduction

Je continue à me mentir, j’ai trop la haine de ne rien dire
Les « Robinson » de l’aventure me font la gueule par être peu sûrs.
De trop compter les potes qui tombent, ma main qui lâche casse la ronde
D’une ribambelle aux fières allures, mais quand c’est d’trop, y’a rien qui dure.

En naviguant dans les eaux troubles, l’algue marine épie mon double
L’équivoque de mes tourbillons, dans l’éphémère n’sent pas bien bon.
J’finirai ma vie au cachot, on vit sale derrière les barreaux
A givrer des nuits d’insomnies, çà fait très mal à c’qu’on m’a dit.

Mais à y regarder de près, sans même le faire exprès
Du niveau de la mer, c’est fou, ce qu’on voit clair.

Les stigmates d’un mauvais chemin au visage pâle et trop repeint,
Peuvent me conduire au bas d’l’autel de l’amertume pour le mortel.
A me la faire cul et chemise,la partie ne s’ra jamais remise
Pour tous les clous que j’y enfonce, il n’y aura pas cinquante réponses.

Trop lourd le poids de mes fumées, à faire le speed pour exister
Tous mes cadastres et mauvais plans, me mettront un d’ces quatre dedans.
A tout à l’heure, à toute allure, j’me barre pour mieux faire le mur
Quand j’me la joue à la dégonfle c’est pas ma vérité qui pionce.

Mais à y regarder de près, sans même le faire exprès
Du niveau de la mer, c’est fou, ce qu’on voit clair.

Des p’t-être bien qu’oui peut-être bien qu’non, y’a même des jours j’sais plus mon nom
J’bègue d’avoir une idendité, j’suis pourtant pas un sans-papiers.
A m’trimballer sur terrains vagues, dans mes amours, je cache les bagues
D’fidélité qu’on s’passe aux doigts, y’a bien une fois où çà s’saura.

J’suis pas du genre à suer l’maillot, mais à m’tirer aux moindres maux
Dans les effets ou mes annonces, j’me prends pour l’arc qui fait l’triomphe.
La réclusion naît par nature, je moque les doutes de l’envergure
A n’pas poser mes cartes sur table, y’a bien un temps où j’s’rai minable.

Mais à y regarder de près, sans même le faire exprès
Du niveau de la mer, c’est fou, ce qu’on voit clair.

Faudra changer mon écriture et les photos de ma brochure
Mettre dans le coin d’un vieux placard les apparences qui me font, car
J’finirai ma vie au cachot, de faire le zouave et jouer faux
Il fait si bon et chaud dehors, que çà s’ra con d’changer l’décor.

Car à y regarder de près, sans même le faire exprès
Du niveau de la mer, c’est fou, ce qu’on voit clair.

WATCH OUT

I continue to lie to myself, I have too much hatred to say nothing
The "Robinson" of the adventure make me mouth by being unsure.
To count too much the falling fellows, my loose hand breaks the round
Of a gang with the proud gaits, but when it is too much, there is nothing that lasts.

While navigating in troubled waters, seaweed spies my double
The equivocation of my whirlwinds in the ephemeral are not very good.
I'll end my life in prison, we live dirty behind bars
Frosting nights of insomnia, it hurts a lot to me.

But to look closely, without even doing it on purpose
From the sea level, it's crazy, what we see clearly.

The stigmata of a bad path with a pale face and too much repainting,
Can lead me down the altar of bitterness to the mortal.
To make me ass and shirt, the game will never be reset
For all the nails I put in, there will not be fifty answers.

Too heavy the weight of my smoke, to speed to exist
All my cadastres and bad plans, will put one of these four in me.
A moment ago, at full speed, I bar to better make the wall
When I play it deflates it is not my truth that pionce.

R.

Well, maybe yes, but no, there's even days I do not know my name anymore
I think I have an identity, but I am not an undocumented one.
To put me on vague grounds, in my loves, I hide the rings
Fidelity that passes to the fingers, there's a good time where it will be.

A Y REGARDER DE PRES (Bon en face, mauvais par derrière... Cà se voit toujours et on finit seul))

IF I WAS A BIRD

WE'LL FIND A TREE
LIVE UP THERE AND SEE
THE WORLD BELOW

IF I WAS A FISH
I COULD SWIM THE SEA
I WOULD DIVE SO DEEP
SO NO ONE CATCH'S ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A PLACE
AND LIVE OUR LIVE'S AWAY
FROM WHAT'S UP THERE

IF I WAS A CAT
I WOULD CLIMB THE TREE
OR CATCH YOU BY THE SEA

WE LIVE BETWEEN,
I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR

DOWN BY THE SEA

Once settled in Artica Point, almost frozen, I watch the world happening fast, and I tell you about by singing five verses with different vocal styles, a main instrumental theme in progress all along, and some bits of the other songs in the album to keep it conceptual ;)

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

DESDE AQUÍ (HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA)  /  FROM HERE (CONTEMPORARY HISTORY)

Ahora que estoy aquí congelado,  /  Now I’m frozen here,
observo el mundo por internet y radio.  /  I watch the world on internet and radio.
Todo sucede ahí abajo tan rápido,  /  Everything happens so fast down there,
que se aprecian claramente los cambios,  /  that changes are clearly appreciated,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Con mis constantes vitales al mínimo,  /  With my vital signs down to a minimum,
como viviendo una película,  /  like living in a movie,
soy capaz de comprender el mecanismo  /  I am able to understand the mechanism
de la evolución de nuestra civilización,  /  of the evolution of our civilization,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

El frío que congela mi cuerpo  /  The cold that freezes my body
… … no me permite llorar,  /  … … doesn’t allow me to cry,
pero mi corazón sigue caliente muy adentro, en algún lugar,  /  but my heart is still warm deep inside, somewhere,
y puedo al menos entristecerme por lo que veo al mirar  /  and I can at least feel sad about what I see when I look
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Ahora que lo comprendo todo  /  Now when I understand everything,
entiendo que todos somos iguales,  /  I realize we’re all the same,
que sentimos lo mismo aunque ninguno lo sabe.  /  and we feel the same although no one knows it.
Desde aquí me identifico con cada hombre,  /  From here I feel identified with every man,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí me alegro de no estar ahí abajo.  /  From here I’m glad not being down there.
Esperaré a ver qué pasa dentro de cien años.  /  I’ll wait and see what happens a hundred years from now.
Mi cuerpo apenas será un poco más viejo,  /  My body will hardly be a little older,
pero sí cumpliré siglo y medio de sabiduría y tristeza,  /  but I will get a century and a half of wisdom and sadness,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.
