Ben Watt / Bricks And Wood (Live On 6Music, 31.10.13)

We are insane, the world’s on fire
Twisting in vain in broken empires
Going too far, digging too much
The deck is cut for the biggest liars
  They say the storm tracks in from the east
  The hurricane lives deep in the heart of the beast

We are insane standing on trial
Distant screams drowned under denial
White against black, man against child
Watching it burn in uncivilized pyres
  Standing closed fisted in flaming sands
  Burning down the soul of enraged lands

    Paradise, we've made a mess
    Broke the world on the back of the poorest
    Now we're all standing in water asking what's next

We are insane, hopeless & tired
Starving and cold on borders of wire
Fearing the worst, trusting the least
Wondering how to turn greed into a feast
  They say the storm tracks in from the east
  The hurricane lives deep in the heart of the beast

    Paradise, we've made a mess
    Broke the world on the back of the poorest
    Now we're all standing in water asking what's next

We Are Insane

From the 2011 Parsons Thibaud 'Transcontinental Voices' CD

Lenteavond een uur na flinke regenbuien in Bos en Lommer. Op de achtergrond is de ring A10 rond Amsterdam goed te horen. De merel zingt zijn lied en er wordt wat gerommeld in keukens met openstaande deuren. Opgenomen op de 3e verdieping vanaf het balkon. 
Spaced Omni opstelling met DPA4060's en een Marantz PMD661. Geen filters of editing.

JPB is a European based band. They have made their name by consistently delivering exceptional song driven studio & live CD’s. With a rigorous touring schedule, they are an in-demand live act in the concert club & festival circuits in northern Europe.

Long a fan of multi-dimensional recording productions, Parsons writes distinctive songs that often defy categories.  He weaves genres as he fuses traces of Emo, Soul & Folk to create his own unique style of Rock & Roll.  Always emotive and energetic on recordings, his live shows are a spirited and at times deeply personal experience. 

Parsons founded the bands US Rails (Blue Rose Records), Parsons Thibaud (Blue Rose Records), Hardpan (Blue Rose Records) and co-founded 4 Way Street (Sanctuary Records.)
