Liner notes:
I dusted off an old recording of a snippet of a song from theGrandScheme rehearsal days. It was just Scott and a synthesiser and there was verse, chorus and a bit of middle eight. I took his ad libbed lyrics and incorporated them. I always really liked it so I fleshed it out and turned it into this. Enjoy.

Written, performed and recorded by John Your Mate and mixed and mastered by Gary Brady at Total Thrive.

Words:
Here we are as the end credits roll on our life
When you look I just got a stuck in your eyes
Fall asleep in the glow of the TV
Stealing watches like I'm stealing some time
 
I don't pretend to have all the answers
Never was too clever at all
But before I go you must know that
I never really cared for you at all

I'm wasting my time
Drifting, falling, too tired to fake it 
Wanting the love to begin
Yourself, my love
It's not what you think it is
Love is a lawless night
 
The polaroids are fading slowly
Of all the things that you always tended to be
I don't pretend to have all the answers
Never was too proud to admit you see
Oh but you loved me anyway
Can't understand why
Being in this moment again
Cos living in the past too much can do more wrongs than rights
 
But you never wanted to know me
I have a one true love and light to see
Oh my dear I still am waiting for some sign from you that you still care
And I know its not that easy to be with me, you were hurt but were unfair

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 ;-)

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.
