Second single from Memories EP, “Lord of the Glens” is a celtic sounding ballad, a drive on the winding roads through the mighty Highlands.
Peaty flavours, hints of heather and seaspray, Lord of the Glens is a nostalgic tribute to Scotland.

Special thanks to @jowenspiller for helping us big time mixing this song !

Thx for listening & for your feedback !

Lyrics :

The sun is rising in a pale blue sky,
We carry you home
We’re walking a path leading to nowhere
No wonder why you chose this place 
Where red robins sing
On a bed of heather, in a daffodil field 
White clouds of wool, and roses in bloom, 
You now rest in peace

Pure water springs, fresh salted wind
A bed in the shade of a nice silver tree
A wide open space in a wild peaceful place
Now it’s all yours
From a hollyhock throne you’re watching the glens

The road is winding, sheep bells are ringing
A wild melody, moving symphony
I remember holding the hand of the woman who had the chance to share
A beautiful life with the one who’s now the king of the glens 
 The valley is yours and so are the bens

Pure water springs, fresh salted wind
A bed in the shade of a nice silver tree
A wide open space, in a wild peaceful place
Now it’s all yours
From a hollyhock throne you’re watching the glens
In the fresh salted wind
A bed in the shade of a nice silver tree
A wide open space in a wild peaceful place
Now it’s your throne
A hollyhock crown, you’re Lord of the Glens

Lyrics :

Tuesday night on the boulevard
Looking for the Promised Land
Lola says it’s time to score it hard
And I can’t stop looking when her breast’s shaking
She says I let you

Hit me once, don’t treat me nice
Before I jump into your life
Hit me once I’m melting ice
Before we share a life

Wednesday morning on the Eiffel Tower
Hanging ‘round on the third floor
Lola says it’s time to press seven
And I can’t stop looking when her bottom’s shaking
She says I let you

Sunday morning I’m feeling blue
In the plane to Moscow
Lola says it’s time to take off
And I can’t stop looking when her hands are shaking
She says I let you

Lyrics :

Dancing in the flames
No one to explain
The mess and how it became
Deep inside my brain
I feel insane, am I insane?
 

And now it’s time to perfect myself
The future scars are really unfair
Maybe sometimes I offended you
Believe I really didn’t mean to

Now, over is the game, taking all the blame for the victims that I’ve made
If we try again, wish I’m not the same, not the same
Now, here we go again, dancing in the flames with the cinders of your name
Now you’re back again, but I’m still the same, still the same

Dusting all the frames
Blowing sugar cane
That’s the way I entertain
Deep inside my veins
I feel insane, am I insane?
 

And now it’s time to unveil myself
Clean up broken glasses, stains of Champagne
Maybe someday I’ll regret my fails
But not just now I’ll always refrain

Dancing in the Flames

Lyrics :

I was jiving on a bar with one or two hens of mine
Grooving like a star yeah I felt fine
My head was spinning around I had to stop for a while
The floor the roof the motorway where upside down

Ten feet underwater waiting for the sun

I was driving in my car with one or two friends of mine
Crawling out of a bar but I felt fine
A light was flashing fast I had to stop on the side
They took my name, my keys, that night I lost my pride

Ten feet underwater waiting for the sun

I was hoping for the best when I had to walk the line
I broke the cookie jar to pay the fine
The clouds were getting dark we had to walk for miles
Early morning the five of us were liquefied

Ten Feet Underwater

Lyrics :

Mystery, memories
Is all that I have left
All the songs we sang are now in a bin
But I can’t help looking in the bin bag
Like a dog looking for a bone
Dig up the broken stone

If only I could go back and start again
I’m sure that I would exactly do the same
I know that time flies, life’s moving clockwise
But all the good times will still play in my mind

Memories, melodies,
I can feel them in my chest
And all the lines we wrote still belong with me
And I can’t help looking back in the mirror
‘til I feel words dancing on my tongue,
An itchy microphone

The Mirror

this darn EP thing takes forever longer than we ever anticipated !!

well, doing it entirely DIY, with sorta minimal know-how, time & budget, it's still incredible fun, and, most importantly, this is the closest to how we imagined these songs ought to sound like

an important disclaimer - the keyboard is very much under-represented here, but that's because we're still in the midst of recording it... rest assured there will be muchos more in the final product! ;-)

early 2018, we can't wait to share these songs with the world !

Lyrics :
I’m born to try
To try it one more time
Make a nice dream, drop an ice cream
Before I hide and scream

I’ve got an aim
I just forgot my name
Whatever the fame, whatever the shame,
My will remained the same

Hold on, hold on
I’m running out of reasons to fall
Go on, go on
I’m running out I’m losing control


Come what may, wherever I stay
I believe I’m living by leaving to achieve a dream
Come what may, once upon a day
I’ll relieve the captive and naïve ‘till they disappear
Come what may, whatever I pray
I’m losing control, got no sky fall recall but the wall
Come what may, whatever they say
I’ll never say never forever and ever again


I born too shy
Now stop that lullaby
Wherever I go, whatever I see,
The challenge is for me

I’m born to try
You’re born to testify
Check on the screen, rewind the scene
I’m standing with the Queen


Come what may, wherever I stay
I believe I’m living by leaving to achieve a dream
Come what may, once upon a day
I’ll relieve the captive and naïve ‘till they disappear
Come what may, whatever I pray
I’m losing control, got no sky fall recall but the wall
Come what may, whatever they say
I’ll never say never forever and ever again

Lyrics :
Free like a rainbow in the sky
Catch a bird and try to fly
Flying high while it’s still time
Take the time to walk on by

See the time passing by
Run the risk of knowing why
Looking for an alibi
Catch another butterfly


Let’s build freedom hills
And castles in the sand


Free like a rainbow in the sky
Catch a bird and try to fly
Flying high while it’s still time
Take the time to walk on by

See the time passing by
Run the risk of knowing why
Looking for an alibi
Catch another butterfly


Let’s build freedom hills
And castles in the sand

Lyrics :
Give me cash and I’m gonna shake
The jukebox in my head is waiting for a setlist
Shaking, shaking,  shaking like a mad man in a box

Give me fire and I’m gonna burn the
Castle and the monster, smokers do die younger
Younger, younger, younger than a sad man with a gun

Above and beyond, it’s not too late
Never too late to walk on by

Give me cash and I’m gonna shake
The jukebox in my head is waiting for a setlist
Shaking,  shaking,  shaking like a mad man in a box

Give me toys and I’m gonna play 
The biggest helter skelter, the highest roller coaster
Higher, higher, higher than a tall man on a tower

Above and beyond, it’s not too late
Never too late to walk on by

Lyrics :
It’s a crazy situation
Turn the light off shoot the man
We create the aggravation
Going as far as we can
And I can’t help feeding this desire
And I can feel a rising fire

We just feed a chain reaction
Leading to the fall of man
Heroes all die in slow motion
On behalf of a master plan


But I can’t help feeding my desire
I can’t help feeding my desire
I can’t help feeding my desire
And I can feel a rising fire


We just fight for our nation
And the world is not enough
It a crazy contradiction 
Looking for a secret stuff
But I can help feeding my desire
And I can feel a rising fire

If tomorrow never dies
Let it die another day
Is there anybody wiser
To give up and break away

But I can’t help feeding my desire
No I can’t help feeding my desire
No I can’t help feeding my desire
And I can feel a rising fire
