Riverrrr - Kenalog

When I was a child. 
I thought it was only a ride.
Was there laughter and loving, and music and singing your songs. 
Not for long.
Was there was food in our bellies, and something on telly, to watch. 
Like the clocks.

When I was a child. 
I told myself it was just fine
As I drank from the fountain, of spirits and beer and wine. 
For some time.
See, there's stuff to be taken, and holes to be sank in. 
Sometimes, drew a line.

I feel no cold as I sit with the moon and the tree.

Inside I ache.
I'm on the take.
These deals I make.
Roll on.
Yet as a child.
I'd raise a smile.
As I walked them miles.
Alone.

When I was a boy.
I was easily fooled by your ruse. 
But it grew so much bigger, got sold down the river and gone. 
Right or wrong.
See, there's nothing that's lasting.
It's all in the past, for too long. 
Sang that song.

See, I was too young, 
and I couldn't see wood for the trees.
I was caught in the cross wind of holes we get stuck in. 
We're gone. 
Far too long.
The winds keep on gusting.
Surrounded by rough things at dawn. 
You're falorn.

I feel no cold as I sit with the moon and the tree.

Inside I ache.
I'm on the take.
These deals I make.
Roll on.
Yet as a child.
I'd raise a smile.
As I walked them miles.
Alone.

I feel no cold as I sit with the moon and the tree.

Inside I ache.
I'm on the take.
These deals I make.
Roll on.
Yet as a child.
I'd raise a smile.
Now I'm a child.
No more 

The Moon And The Tree

Rien de fée

Il s'en allait croiser d'autres regards,
Au coeur des rues d'une ville étrangère.
Abandonnant aux soins de sa mémoire,
les habitudes, les visages d'hier.
Il avait lu dans des livres oubliés,
Que sa vie serait comme un mystère,
Longtemps après son histoire resterait,
Un peu comme celle des héros de naguère.

Un jour l'amour l'a oublié,
Au bord d'une route abandonnée,
Au milieu d'enfants égarés,
D'un conte qui n'avait rien de fée.
Un jour l'amour s'en est allé,
Chercher la vie  du bon coté,
Et loin du monde dont il rêvait,
L' amour n'avait plus rien de fée,
Rien de fée. 

S'en vinrent alors les mortes saisons,
Qui doucement chavirent la raison.
Lui qui rêvait solitude et plages,
N'a jamais pu déposer bagages.
Je sais qu'il vit dans une ville,
Aux murs épais et si fragiles,
Et comme un navire dans la houle,
Je sais qu'il fuit le coeur des foules.

Un jour l'amour l'a oublié,
Au bord d'une route abandonnée,
Au milieu d'enfants égarés,
D'un conte qui n'avait rien de fée.
Un jour l'amour s'en est allé,
Chercher la vie  du bon coté,
Et loin du monde dont il rêvait,
L' amour n'avait plus rien de fée,
Rien de fée. 

Etranger toi qui passe ce soir,
Dans cette ville ou brillent les lumières
Souviens toi que l 'amour est miroir 
Qui réfléchit nos pensées solitaires.

Un jour l'amour l'a oublié,
Un jour l'amour s'en est allé.
Un jour l'amour l'a oublié,
Comme un mémoire inachevé.

Il voulait tant tuer le passé,
Qu'il n'a jamais imaginé,
Qu'un jour la vie lui offrirait,
Un conte qui n'aurait rien de fée.

Rien de fée

One microphone, only acoustic instruments, a bit of reverb added on the voice. As simple as possible.

I look at the sky
I am fine inside
I found my way

I put this aside
I kept a straight line
I found my way

All the gloomy thoughts
Are now gone away
I found my way

I wonder now why
It took me so long
It is hard to say

I look at the sky
You stand on my side
I found my way

You helped me so well
It is a blessing
As I was away

All the gloomy thoughts
Are now gone away
I found my way

I wonder now why
It took me so long
It is hard to say

All the dirty stuff
I made you endure
Won’t happen again
It has to be said

I look at the sky
You stand on my side
I found my way

I put this aside
I kept a straight line
I found my way

I Found My Way

🙌🏻Here we are with another unusual experiment, though given how often we switch genres, it’s hard to define what’s truly "unusual" in our alien and wacky perspective! 🤪
This time, we’re diving into Jazz! To all the purists out there - don’t take it personally! We know this track is, in some ways, light-years away from traditional Jazz, but that’s exactly why we call it unconventional!
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this musical absurdity - call it Jazz if you like, or whatever you want!  
Happy listening!😉

Lyrics:

We've got honeyed notes and smoky bars
Tickling ivories and old guitars
A saxophone that wails with glee
The classic jazz in melody

Here comes the girl with a velvet voice
Singing heartache as her soulful choice
There's always rain on the windowpane
And metaphors about the pain

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

Walking bass lines, tapping feet
City nights with scattered beat
There's a moaning trumpet in the air
Lost romance, a weary affair

Oh the clichés come alive
Scatting lines with no surprise
The same old rhymes and same old tune
Dancing under that blue moon.

Finger snaps, the smoky speakeasy feel
A midnight stroll, a lingering appeal
Love's always lost, but not so deep
It's all just jazz, we play to keep

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

It's a jazz song, can't you hear
Every cliché crystal clear
From the moonlit nights to the lover's kiss
All wrapped up in this old-time bliss

Cliché

You Never Know is a funked up punk-a-tude bluesy swinging new indie rock song about the fact that You Never Know. Pulling from funk, blues, Americana, and rock, with a punk attitude and lyrics about state of the modern world peppered with a healthy dose of skepticism and justifiable cynicism about the absolute certainty so many people claim to possess. This song will make you want to dance while you call out the BS. 

You never know! 
You think you know
But you don’t know
I learned along time ago 
That ya never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know!
You say its true
Because you say so
But I ain’t buying what your selling yo!
  
Take a look back through history
Only one thing’s a certainty
The future will remain a mystery
Something we’ll never know

Some people turn to the good book
Some people give their crystal ball a look
No matter what you try and do though
Fact is, you never know!

If you went and had a look
Read every word in every book! 
The record clearly shows
That ya never know!

You never know!
You think you know
But you don’t know
I learned a long time ago 
That ya never know 

Some people turn to the good book
Some people give their crystal ball a look
No matter what they try and do though
Fact is, you never know!

If you went and had a look
Read every word in every book! 
The record clearly shows
That ya never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know
You say its true
Because you say so
But I ain’t buying what your selling yo
Cuz ya never know

Take a look back at history
Only one thing’s a certainty
The future will remain a mystery
Something we’ll never know!

You think you know
But you don’t know
I ain’t buying what your selling yo
I learned along time ago 
That you never know.

You Never Know

You Never Know - Defiantbutterfly

This song is an uplifting and hopeful anthem about leaving the past behind and looking ahead. It starts with feelings of struggle and sadness, but as it goes on, the message becomes clear—it's time to let go and move forward. The chorus is a strong reminder that the past doesn’t define you, and better days are ahead. With a dreamy, energetic sound, it’s the perfect song for anyone ready for a fresh start.

Move On

Hurlevent, une histoire peu ordinaire, ou s'entremêlent l'enfance, l'amour, et les vents de terre, dans une région âpre comme les sentiments..
Paroles:
Quand elle était une enfant,
Elle rêvait prince charmant,
Heathcliff était si troublant,
Dans les Hauts de Hurlevent.
Quand elle était petite fille,
Si lointaine et si fragile,
Elle rêvait de doux matins,
Elle rêvait de beaux chemins.
Mais le temps jauni les feuilles,
Que l'automne mit sur sa route,
Marguerites que l'on effeuille,
Une à une, pétales du doute, du doute.


Hurlevent c'était hier,
Hurlevent, c'était naguère,
Une histoire peu ordinaire,
D'enfance et de vent de terre.
Sur les collines balayées, 
Par les vents du nord glacés,
une histoire à tout jamais,
Hurlevent dans le passé.

Aujourd'hui elle est si grande,
Qu'elle semble ne rien attendre.
Et pourtant quand la nuit tombe,
Lui revient comme une bombe.
Heathcliff c'était ses quinze ans,
Au plus haut  de hurlevent,
Alors elle ferme les yeux,
Et son coeur se serre un peu, un peu.

Hurlevent c'était hier,
Hurlevent, c'était naguère,
Une histoire peu ordinaire,
D'enfance et de vent de terre.
Sur les collines balayées, 
Par les vents du nord glacés,
une histoire à tout jamais,
Hurlevent dans le passé.

Hurlevent c'était un jour,
Hurlevent c'était un jour,
Hurlevent c'était toujours.

You Will Forget Me Anyway

When I die you'll sell my paintings
All my things and every memory you have of me
You'll try to bury in a phone
Not your own
On the way back home, you broke...
All these photos in your drawer
Can't bring back what came before
I'm just pixels on your screen
Lost somewhere between unseen
Will you forget me anyway? Dissolve
Would you forget me anyway? Evolve
Will you forgive me anyway? Dissolve
Would you forget me anyway? Evolve

And if they die I'll sell their paintings
All their things and every memory I have of them
I'll try to bury in a phone
Not my own
On the way back home, we broke...
Got your voice saved in my phone
Playing back when I'm alone
But each time I press replay
What we had starts to decay
Will they forget me anyway? Dissolve
Could you forget me anyway? Evolve
Will you forget me anyway? Dissolve
Would you forgive me anyway? Evolve

The more that you remember me
The more you'll cease to be
The more that you remember me
The more you'll cease to be
Will you forgive me anyway? Dissolve
Would you forget me anyway...
Will you forget me anyway? Dissolve
Would you forgive me anyway...

Would you forget me anyway?

Lyrics:

They say you die twice
Once when they put you in the ground
The second is the last time anybody talks about you
So I guess I could be alive
'Cause I hear about that handsome fool all the time
And I curse the day she found him

I feel like a ghost
I walk around with the form of a man
But he's not me
Babe
I don't know who I am
'Cause she doesn't come around here
I don't feel her presеnce anymore
Yeah
I lost her to a previous version of me
Baby
What for?

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

But she swears to God
She swears up and down that it's him
I ask her
"Was it all just pretend?
Or were you always his?"

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

'Til he came back home
Covered in Billy
Gave her that smile
Said that he's changed
Gonna stay for a while
Now she counts in "we"
And I count in weeks

Yeah
She never even saw it coming
Counseled me when he ran in
Even helped me back on my feet
But now it's black and white
She talks about me with those eyes
Never thought I'd fight for my life

Paroles:
Tu t'souviens y' a longtemps, une route dans la nuit,
Elle courait sous la pluie pour trouver un abri.
Tu revois son visage comme un flash dans ta vie,
Une image lointaine, mais intacte aujourd'hui.
Cigarettes, et se lève le jour.
Dans ta tête, quand t'y penses, tu t'sens court.

Quelqu'un, quelque part, te ressemble un peu.
Courent dans ta mémoire, des routes de feu.
Que tu portes au plus haut, quand ta vie sonne faux,
Quand tu la sens qui tremble au fil de tous tes maux.
Quelqu'un, quelque part, connait tes matins,
Le bleu de son regard, a noyé tes chemins,
Et t'attends simplement qu'à l'horloge sans bruit,
Les aiguilles du temps tournent les heures de ta vie.
Quelqu'un, quelque part..

Temps qui passe qui s'éloigne, mais jamais ne s'efface,
Tu sais bien qu'au delà des années rien ne passe.
Vérité qui renait au détour d'un chemin,
Coeurs gravés dans l'écorce, d'un passé déjà loin.
cigarettes et que tombe la nuit.
Dans ta tête, quand t'y penses tu te dis.

Quelqu'un, quelque part, te ressemble un peu.
Courent dans ta mémoire, des routes de feu.
Que tu portes au plus haut, quand ta vie sonne faux,
Quand tu la sens qui tremble au fil de tous tes maux.
Quelqu'un, quelque part, connait tes matins,
Le bleu de son regard, a noyé tes chemins,
Et t'attends simplement qu'à l'horloge sans bruit,
Les aiguilles du temps tournent les heures de ta vie.

Quelqu'un, quelque part
Quelqu'un, quelque part
sur les routes là bas...
Quelqu'un, quelque part.

Lyrics:
You remember a long time ago, a road in the night,
She was running in the rain to find shelter.
You see her face again like a flash in your life,
A distant image, but intact today.
Cigarettes, and dawn.
In your head, when you think about it, you feel short.

Someone, somewhere, looks a little like you.
Roads of fire run through your memory.
That you carry to the highest, when your life rings false,
When you feel it trembling with all your troubles.
Someone, somewhere, knows your mornings,
The blue of his gaze, has drowned your paths,
And you simply wait for the clock to silently,
The hands of time turn the hours of your life.
Someone, somewhere..

Time that passes that moves away, but never fades,
You know well that beyond the years nothing passes.
Truth that is reborn at the bend of a path,
Hearts engraved in the bark, of a past already far away.
cigarettes and that night falls.
In your head, when you think about it you say to yourself.

Someone, somewhere, looks a little like you.
Running in your memory, roads of fire.
That you carry to the highest, when your life rings false,
When you feel it trembling with all your ills.
Someone, somewhere, knows your mornings,
The blue of his gaze, has drowned your paths,
And you simply wait for the clock without noise,
The hands of time turn the hours of your life.

Someone, somewhere
Someone, somewhere
on the roads over there...
Someone, somewhere.

Quelqu'un, quelque part

[Verse 1]
Wires hum in the dead of night,
Neon glow, just a satellite,
Fingers dancing, breaking locks,
Cracking codes on ticking clocks.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every firewall’s just a gate,
Every cipher spells their fate,
Shadow steps, I leave no trace,
I’m a phantom in this place.

[Chorus]
I’m a digital ghost, creeping in the stream,
Sifting through the codes, tearing at the seams.
Buried in the data, hidden in the dark,
I will find your secrets, rip them all apart.

[Verse 2]
Encrypted whispers, silent calls,
Buried files behind firewalls,
One wrong move, the alarms will scream,
But I’m already in your machine.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every password’s just a key,
Every secret’s calling me,
Shadow steps, I leave no trace,
I’m rewriting all your fate.

[Chorus]
I’m a digital ghost, creeping in the stream,
Sifting through the codes, tearing at the seams.
Buried in the data, hidden in the dark,
I will find your secrets, rip them all apart.

[Bridge]
Binary whispers, numbers collide,
Red lights flashing, no place to hide.
You built the walls, but I hold the key,
Now your empire belongs to me.

[Outro]
Delete your name, erase your past,
Ghost in the system, fading fast.
One last breach, and I’m long gone,
Your secrets burn before the dawn.

Digital Ghost

"That's What Friends Are For" is a raw, stripped-down folk-punk anthem that captures the resilience, camaraderie, and bittersweet reflections of everyday life. Built around a driving, percussive acoustic guitar, the song thrives on its rhythmic urgency, with each strum acting as both a pulse and a protest. The lone vocal delivery is direct and heartfelt, carrying a mix of defiance and melancholy, reminiscent of classic Billy Bragg-style storytelling.

Lyrically, the song shifts between moments of nostalgia, frustration, and hope—painting vivid images of fleeting joys with old friends, quiet moments of introspection, and the unshakable feeling of being caught in a system that promises more than it delivers. The recurring chorus, delivered with an almost mantra-like intensity, reinforces the idea that friendship and solidarity are the true anchors in turbulent times.

With no excess instrumentation to hide behind, That's What Friends Are For embraces its simplicity, letting the raw emotion shine through. The stark contrast between the warmth of shared moments and the weight of personal struggle makes it an intimate yet anthemic piece—one that lingers long after the final chord fades.

That's What Friends Are For
You and I, a sunlit sky, and them
We close our eyes and sometimes we pretend

Walk on water, swim against the tide
Gazing at my shoes, I wonder why
But it doesn't stop you trying
And now the sparrows, they're all flying

(Chorus)
That's what friends are for
You know the score
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
You know the score

Shadows fall on leaves as they descend
Stand beneath the trees with my old friends
Laugh at jokes I've heard ten times before
It doesn't matter, that's what we're here for

I can't help feeling that they've trained us well
Promising us heaven
While we're living here in hell
How it works out well, it all depends
On you and I, a sunlit sky, and them

But it doesn't stop you crying
And now the sparrows, they're all flying

(Chorus)
That's what friends are for
You know the score
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
You know the score

That's What Friends Are For [ Post punk | Singer Songwriter]

Debbie Henry was near forty
I buried her under my lobby
She was the first of a long series 
That granted me the death penalty

I don't regret what I did then. 
It was meant to be.
And sure I guess, I deserve this. 
For the sake of the society.

Abraham Pierce was so obese.
It was so hard to pull his body.
He tried to run away from me.
The poor thing collapsed under his belly 

I don't regret what I did then. 
It was meant to be.
And sure I guess, I deserve this. 
For the sake of the society.

I Don't Regret

Given the very recent events surrounding the war between Russia and Ukraine, the upheavals brought by Trump, and the dozens of ongoing conflicts around the world - definitely not the kind of stuff that lets you sleep soundly - we came up with this song!  
We were actually supposed to release a completely different track, a parody about voice assistants at home, but obviously, the theme of war and chaos ended up taking over.  
Enjoy the listen, and if you’re an Alexa & Co. user, stay tuned - our next song will surely get a sarcastic nod of approval from you! Let’s just hope that by the time it’s out, the conflict in Ukraine will have, in some way, come to an end.

Lyrics:

All around the world’s unraveling
Searching for peace while madmen pull strings
Turning lives into pawns feeding their tanks
Filling their ranks with our lives

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Was it ever more than a fragile dream
Here on Earth down here in chaos
Caught in the gears of someone else's scheme
Feeling the weight of our lost cause

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

In the shadow of shattered dreams
We're searching for a spark of hope
Through the chaos and gears it seems
We're just too far around to cope

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Once-thriving cities now hollow and dark
Echoing loss echoing fear
And we stand here wondering
Was peace ever real

Chaos and Gears

YouTube Short

[Intro]  

I put my heart into these chords, these lines, these melodies,  
Upload my soul into the void, just hoping someone sees.  
But every time I check my feed, a message waits for me—  
A promise wrapped in sugar, but it’s never what it seems.  

[Verse 1]  

"Hey, I love your music, bro! It’s fire, it’s insane!"  

Then three replies later, it’s "Invest in your name!"  
Sony wants to sign me? Oh, sure, that sounds legit…  
But why’s your profile say you’re based in Bangladesh?  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I don’t need a fake deal,  
I don’t need your promo,  
I just want a real ear  
To hear what I wrote, so…  

[Chorus]  
 
Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Verse 2]  

Atlantic’s in my inbox now, but spelled without a "C."  
And Capitol’s got zero posts? Yeah, sounds legit to me…  
"Let’s get you on a playlist, bro—50 dollars a song!"  
If I had a dime for every scam, I’d own the whole damn blog.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I don’t need a fake deal,  
I don’t need your promo,  
I just want a real ear  
To hear what I wrote, so…  

[Chorus]  
Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Bridge]  

From India to Singapore, LA to UK,  
They’re all reading from the same damn play…  
"Your music’s got potential, we love your sound!"  
Then it’s "Pay me first, I’ll get you found."  

[Final Chorus]  

Just listen—don’t sell me a dream,  
I ain’t got the time for another scheme.  
I don’t need your "boost" or a "Spotify stream,"  
Just tell me if my song really means anything.  
Just listen—no dollar signs,  
No empty praise, no scripted lines.  
If you really feel it, then tell me why—  
But don’t try to sell me a lie.  

[Outro]  

Just listen… just listen…  
Not for money… just for meaning…  
Just listen…

Lyrics:

Hey Alyxia, can you hear me shout?  
I’ve called your name four times, you still tune me out 
I’ve got a bullhorn, but you’re off in a daze  
You’re the glitchiest gadget, stuck in your haze 
I say lights on, you think I said off,  
Now I’m tripping on furniture, cursing at the loft  
You’re supposed to be sharp, you’re supposed to assist  
But you’re more like a gremlin I can’t dismiss

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day  
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

The coffee’s brewing, or so you claim  
But the pot’s ice-cold, just like your game  
You’ve locked the front door, but left it ajar
Now I’m locked in or out, talking to the car  
You call it intelligent, I call it insane  
I asked for the news, not a weather vane 
And if the Wi-Fi’s down, well, life’s on pause  
Can’t flush the toilet, can’t feed the cat’s claws

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray 
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day 
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

The fridge sends emails, the stove’s on a spree  
My TV’s giving lectures on philosophy  
Every device has its own little voice 
But not a single one follows my choice 
The thermostat’s plotting to freeze me out  
While the vacuum decides to wander about  
This place is a circus, a farce in disguise  
A high-tech nightmare that’s ruining my ties

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray  
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day 
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray  
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day  
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

So here’s to the future, where tech rules the roost  
But I’m longing for a time when things made some sense
At the very least  
I’ll take a dumb home with knobs and keys  
Over this dumb life that’s brought me to my knees 
Next time I’ll just buy a shack with no flair  
Because this digital dungeon is too much to bear

Beating Edge
