Volume and space melt in atmosphere. A walk through lost streets or maybe we just momentarily forgot where we are while staring at the power lines cutting across the moon. The 5th track off the 1616 EP: a collaboration between @area-c-1 and @jh0st (originally released in 1991).

■概要(Overview)
辛い時期もあるけどなるべく笑顔で乗り切れたらいいな、一歩ずつ
・・・という感じの曲です。
何回スマイルって言ったかわからないけどみんな笑顔になってほしい。
さあ行け！ロボドッグよ！(ガチャ、ガチャ！ワンワン！)

There are going to be tough times, but I hope I can get through it with a smile on my face, one step at a time.
It's a song that feels like...
I don't know how many times I've said "smile", but I want everyone to smile.
Let's go! Robodog! (Gacha, Gacha! Bow Wow!)

■歌詞
涙見せないように　笑う君の事
馬鹿にした口調で　責める人たちもいる

残念だけれど　この世界は
単純じゃないんだ　一問一答じゃないんだ
複雑さに目を背けた人たちは　君を責めるけど

マイペースにやろうよ
やれることを　一つずつ　ホップ・ステップ・ジャンプでさ
僕や周りの事なんて気にしないでいいから

もう一度スマイル　そしてスマイル
少し休んで　またスマイル＆スマイル
いつでも応援しているよ　気楽にやろう
テイク・イット・イージー

誰のせいでもない事　誰かのせいにすること
それで何を生み出せるというの？

残念だけれど　この世界は
理由なんて　意味が無いんだ
誰かが作ったミサイルが
今日も誰かの命を奪う

(Smile again
With a heartfelt smile
Just smile..)

マイペースにやろうよ
やれることを　一つずつ　ホップ・ステップ・ジャンプでさ
これから先何が起こるか分からないんだから　

もう一度スマイル　そしてスマイル
少し休んで　またスマイル＆スマイル
いつでも応援しているよ　
僕もどうなるかわからないけど
何とかなるさ
(If we could hold hands again
Also someday….)

マイペースにやろう
まだまだ先は長いから
笑い方を忘れないようにしよう

もう一度スマイル　僕もスマイル
彼女もスマイル　彼らもスマイル
あの野郎にもスマイル
もう一度手を取り合えたなら・・
またいつか

■Lyrics (Google translation)
You smile, trying not to show your tears
I can hear her voice blaming her in her mocking tone.

Unfortunately, this world
It's not simple, it's not one question and one answer.
Those who turned a blind eye to complexity will blame you.

Let's do it at my own pace
I think all you have to do is hop, step, and jump.
You don't have to worry about me or the people around me.

Smile again and smile again
I want you to take a little break and smile again.
I'll always support you. Take it easy.
Take It Easy

Blaming someone for something that is no one's fault
What can you produce with that?

Unfortunately, this world
Reasons are meaningless
A missile made by someone
I will take someone's life today too.

(Smile again
With a heartfelt smile
Just smile..)

Let's do it at my own pace
I think all you have to do is hop, step, and jump.
We don't know what will happen to us from now on.

Smile again and smile again
Take a break and get your smile back
I'll always support you
I don't know what will happen either
we can work it out
(If we could hold hands again
Also someday….)

Do it at your own pace
There's still a long way to go
Let's not forget how to laugh

Smile again, I smile too
She smiles, they smile too
Smile at that bastard too
If we could hold hands again...
Also someday

VV peace

The final track off the 1616 EP: a collaboration between @area-c-1 and @jh0st (originally released in 1991).

---------------------------
it's only lately i free those words that you bring, 
i barely hear and blame my ears as you sing. 
it's just that lately i've learned that desire is not flames 

until the hour when the landscape calls, 
i'll hear your voice as the ghosts will call. 
because when you speak, it's just for today 
i'll still be here when your words fall away. 

...surfacing

The mist and the landscape evoke memories of the poet's childhood, and she longs to return to the time when she felt safe and happy under her father's roof. There is also an acknowledgment that a time has passed, and the melancholy that something will never be the same.
Thank you from heart Torbjørn and Arne for this collaboration. 

Mild the mist upon the hill
Telling not of storms tomorrow;
No, the day has wept its fill,
Spent its store of silent sorrow.

O, I'm gone back to the days of youth,
I am a child once more,
And 'neath my father's sheltering roof
And near the old hall door

I watch this cloudy evening fall
After a day of rain;
Blue mists, sweet mists of summer pall
The horizon's mountain chain.

The damp stands on the long green grass
As thick as morning's tears,
And dreamy scents of fragrance pass
That breathe of other years.
Emily Jane Brontë
Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

Para Lia with Fady (@fadysporz)

Sunchild (https://soundcloud.com/para-lia/sunchild?si=1fe21d34700645e48d2f91cb2f396c38&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing) is a song from the current Para Lia album 'In Clash With The Zeitgeist' (paralia.bandcamp.com/album/in-clash…-the-zeitgeist). Here comes a very special version of the song - chilled psychedelic indie pop, with the spherical synthesizers of our friend Fady Haddad from Baltimore (USA), who was already a guest on some songs on our last album. 'Sunchild X Fady' is a remix - but also much more than that. Get caught up in the indie rock / pop crossover atmosphere of this track!

Pierre Bordetti productions (c) Fev/2024.
Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:

In tribute to all those who suffer from cold, hunger, disease, war and all human stupidity.

En hommage à tous ceux qui souffrent du froid, de la faim, de la maladie, de la guerre et de toute la connerie humaine.


Lyrics
 
despite the cold, 
despite the hunger,
when winter is the only season,
when the sun as the only light,
when the night as the only shelter,

love always survives,
Freedom has no price,
save your mind,
save your mind,
keep your pride,
keep your pride,

Love always survives

Homage to Relativity Theory's Centenary & Mr. Albert Einstein.

There are five houses.
The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Spaniard owns the dog.
Coffee is drunk in the green house.
The Ukrainian drinks tea.
The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
Milk is drunk in the middle house.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house"

Now, who drinks water?
Who owns the zebra?

2 eyes to eyes see me 
2 ears to ears to hear me 
arrive by phone, 2 children 
your hand, my hand, we're wiilling... 
what have we done? 

try and figure 
nothing could be smart 
wake up early, start a new tomorrow 

'there goes my baby' 
i can't close my eyes... 

2 eyes to eyes see me 
2 ears to ears to hear me 
to seek to hear makes us said 
your heart just in time, be careful... 
what have you done?

A misty eyed memory of Woodstock...
Thanks to Helen for bass and concertina (yes - there really is concertina!), and thanks to "you know who" for harmonies.

Where did all the young people go, with their high ideals?
They took a one-way trip out west; in their hazy daze. 
They took a trip and followed the Sun, to where it’s always day.
Why did all the young people have to go?

Chorus:
       I’m left here, wishing	 I could be like they were
       They left us their music, like the wind in their flowing hair
       They were always so far above, what I could ever hope for
       They left us sweet memories, like the sun in their shining eyes

Where did all the beautiful ones go, with their hippie days?
They took a ship to the stars, where they do not age
They took a ship to the stars, and left me behind
Why did all the young ones have to go?

Chorus

Somewhere out there above the blue sky, they’re playing just the same
But half a million strong been gone, seventeen thousand days
Still just as fresh to our ears, as on that summer day
 Real life evaporated away to leave a perfect memory 

Chorus

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Work hard at school and you will succeed
Get the pieces of paper that you need
You will get there if you are the best
But what happens to us, all the rest

CHORUS
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT

Discipline will curb your greed
Much more training's what you need
It's better now than it's ever been
Hard times like these we have never seen

CHORUS X 2

Lets tell the truth and not live a lie
No piece for us of that money pie
The youth are the future that's what we're told
But what will they tell us when we're too old

CHORUS X 2

So what's the point in carrying on
Growing up is just one big con
Haven't listened to a word that's said
Perhaps you'll listen when I'm dead

NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO LIFE, NO POINT

The things you love make their escape at unexpected moments
Tear away and float astray and tumble through the heavens

An anchor is ephemeral: a figment of attaching
Tracing up to surface air
It’s just a cloud of silt away

Temporary 
Laughing at a lock and key
Hyena smile, a drooling gryphon locks his hungry eyes on me

Love, a cage of chicken wire that vapor doesn’t honor 
Steam away and float astray and cloud and rain, disintegrate

Temporary 
Offering an open door
Hyena smile, a drooling gryphon banished to the rock no more

Already gone Only a song 
As hard and as real as the stone you are sitting on

What are you counting? 
What are you counting?
What are you counting? 
What are you?

Waves of love make their escape In unexpected moments
Break away and flow astray then tumble through the ocean

Temporary
Laughing at a lock and key
Hyena smile, a hungry vulture locks its steely gaze on me

Temporary

The bad boys are dancing again, at the head of a government of many countries ! They are so power hungry but stupid too.
