Name: theGrandScheme - Tides by John Your Mate
Duration: 4 min 16 s
Description: Back in the late nineties and early naughties, Scott, Jack(JohnYourMate), Pete and Mike made some noise under the name theGrandScheme. It was fun and the music was good.

Texte :
Refrain :
J’aime les Européennes,
Mais pas celles qui te trahissent dès les élections
Non, j’aime les Européennes
Plutôt celles qui savent éveiller des émotions
 
Oui j’aime les Européennes
Mais pas celles qui aboutissent à des déceptions
Non, j'aime les Européennes
Plutôt celles qui te provoquent des réactions


Couplet 1 :
J’aime les Autrichiennes et leurs longs cheveux d’or
Les danseuses madrilènes qui font bouger leurs corps
Les actrices italiennes à l’arrière des hors-bords
Brulantes et puritaines, Les filles venues du Nord

Couplet 2 :
J’aime les Parisiennes élégantes et blasées
Les Slaves au regard clair, froides et déterminées
Les princesses palatines à l’air un peu sévère
Les Méditerranéennes au tempérament fier


Pont :
J’aime, j’aime les Londonniennes
Les Armoricaines
Les Lusitaniennes
Les Poméraniennes
Les Transylvaniennes
Les Gréco-romaines
Les Lithuaniennes
Les Amalfitaines

Les Européennes

Colaboração na faixa, tocando o violão preparado. Foi uma tarde bacana de domingo, quando, de passagem por SP, passei no estúdio do meu parça Bernardo em 2018. Comentários dele e da Amanda...

Bernardo Pacheco:
"Domingo a gente reativou o Thee Buttler's Orchestra, projeto de música a jato da Amanda Buttler comigo, e criamos, arranjamos, gravamos em oito canais, mixamos e masterizamos mais uma faixa no espaço de algumas horas (começamos no fim de tarde e estava online na madruga), essa ficou bem doida e chama 'Canela de Velho'. 
Tem a Amanda na voz, o Victor Vieira-Branco na bateria e na escaleta, importamos do Rio o Leo Alves Vieira pra tocar violão processado e eu tô no baixo, 2m30s de algo que não sei o que é"

Amanda Buttler:
"Depois de cinco meses de "Oba, lá vem ele", o Thee Buttler's Orchestra retorna com mais uma doidera, essa intitulada "Canela de Velho", onde finalmente o Victor Vieira-Branco veio a participar, tocando bateria. Teve também o de sempre: eu & Bernardo (eu na voz e ele no baixo + mix e master) e o outro elemento convidado da vez foi o Leo Alves Vieira, diretamente de Niterói com seu violão processado"

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink”. - John 7:37


Bring the thirsty and let them drink.
Come over here and get a drink. 
This man says, “come to me and drink”.
And suddenly I had to turn and stop and think.
And face all my uncertainty.
And wonder about eternity.
And where to place my hope.

He says it's living water- 
flowing like a river-
through the life of the believer.
In the spirit of the savior. 
Poured into his endeavors-
With the seeker, the warrior, 
The thinker, deceiver. 
The never-receiver.
The almost-believer.

It's a life inside that’s more than you.
Extending through, out past your view.
Running past the walls of you.
Like the streams and rivers like to  do.

P.S. I painted the picture in 1994 and recorded the song in 2020.  So technically this thing took 26 years before it was done ;-)

John Your Mate is an east London based musician, songwriter and full-time human being. I am here on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/artist/2BxIIE7Gd2caZT0r1MX0eG?si=xG4ZVXRcQHqz7e6UubK3mg

Inspired by the early nineties music of Brad, Satchel, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Slint and Stone Temple Pilots - to name a few - plus the soulful voice of the massively underrated, and much missed, Shawn Smith. 

Rocking and rolling with an independent spirit. Keep on keeping on.
