Adiós viejo

Te veo ir hacia la puerta
llevando una enorme decepción;
al llegar te das media vuelta
con los ojos llenos de furor
y piensas para qué puñetas
me sirve ahora hacer tanto favor.

Ahora ves que todo el tiempo
has sido un esclavo del reloj
y que ahí te dejas los huesos
diluidos dentro del sudor
vertido por todo el esfuerzo
que de tu cuerpo arrancó el patrón.

Pero hoy que ya puedes ver claro
pues no tienes la venda en los ojos
no comprendes tu amor al trabajo
¡por cuatro perras y forrando a otros!
Adiós, adiós, hasta siempre viejo,
viejo en mayúsculas y de ejemplo.

Creías que, con tantos años,
te iban a dar una recepción
porque tú jamás te has negado
a cumplirles con cualquier favor...
y observas que ni se han dignado
en presentarse a decirte ...adiós.

Ya te vas con el corazón roto
destrozado por tanto desprecio
y nos miras con odio en los ojos
que están gritando ¡éste es nuestro precio!
Adiós, adiós, hasta siempre viejo,
viejo en mayúsculas y de ejemplo.

GOODBYE OLD

I see you go to the door
leading to a huge disappointment;
when you arrive you turn around
with eyes full of fury
and you think for what the hell
It helps me now to do so much favor.

Now you see that all the time
you've been a slave to the clock
and that there you leave your bones
diluted in sweat
poured out for all the effort
that from your body tore the pattern.

But today that you can see clearly
Well, you don't have the blindfold
you don't understand your love of work
For four bitches and forcing others!
Goodbye, goodbye, forever old,
old in uppercase and example.

You thought that with so many years
they were going to give you a reception
because you have never refused
to fulfill them with any favor ...
and you see that they have not deigned
to show up to say ... goodbye.

You're leaving with a broken heart
shattered by so much contempt
and you look at us with hatred in your eyes
who are screaming this is our price!
Goodbye, goodbye, forever old,
old in uppercase and example.

Adiós viejo

This song is about the little pieces of life we leave behind us as we go — the crumbs, the memories, the lessons, and the moments that guide us forward. “Bread on the Road” is my way of saying that every step we take leaves something meaningful for the next one, and sometimes the things we drop without thinking are exactly what help us find our way back home.

It’s about movement, survival, growth, and trusting that even when life feels scattered or uncertain, there’s always a trail leading somewhere better. It’s a reminder that nothing we’ve lived through is wasted — every piece matters, every crumb counts, and the road always knows where we’re going.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Sunrise on the blacktop
Aint got no time to stop
But that Greyhound bus looks full
Empty belly aint cool

[Prechorus]
Got to find a place
To fill my face

[Chorus]
Bread on the road
Bless this heavy load
Strangers share what they can
Yeah Bread on the road amen

[Verse 2]
Hitchin rides with a smile
Walked a weary mile
Mama said dont take no rides
From strangers with shifty eyes

[Prechorus]
But I aint got no choice
Hear my hungry voice

[Chorus]
Bread on the road
Bless this heavy load
Strangers share what they can
Yeah Bread on the road amen

Bread On The Road

This song is about what really happens when family comes together — the good memories, the broken pieces, the people we miss, and the things we’re finally ready to let go of. It’s about cracked plates, old stories, old wounds, and the way a familiar room can hold both pain and comfort at the same time. 

I wanted to capture that moment where everyone sits down, looks around the table, and realizes that forgiveness doesn’t have to be a big dramatic thing — sometimes it’s just passing the wine, sharing a smile, or choosing not to reopen the same old fight. It’s about letting love be louder than the history we’ve all lived through. 

This song is my way of honoring how imperfect and beautiful family can be, and how a simple meal can become the place where healing finally starts.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Cracked plates and stories untold
Grandma's laugh a treasure of gold
Remember the fights the slamming of doors
We gather now on familiar floors 

[Prechorus]
Can we let it go
Can we let it go 

[Chorus]
Around this table of forgiveness
Love's the only thing we profess
Pass the gravy pass the wine
Let bygones be bygones this time 

[Verse 2]
Uncle Joe's got a brand new wife
Little Timmy's got a brand new life
Auntie Susan she can't make it this year
But we know she's with us oh so near 

[Prechorus]
Can we let it go
Can we let it go 

[Chorus]
Around this table of forgiveness
Love's the only thing we profess
Pass the gravy pass the wine
Let bygones be bygones this time

Table of Forgiveness

This song came from one of those quiet November moments when the world feels cold and still, and you’re not even sure what you’re grateful for — but you feel it anyway. It’s about standing in the middle of winter’s chill, watching the bare trees, hearing the wind, and realizing there’s a small fire inside you that refuses to go out.

It’s cozy and reflective, like being wrapped in a blanket while the wind howls outside. It’s about finding warmth even when things feel frozen, seeing a glow even on the gray days, and letting the winter teach you how to grow.

Sometimes gratitude isn’t loud or obvious. Sometimes it’s soft, simple, and quiet — like snow falling or a low-burning fire. This song is my way of holding onto those moments and sharing that warmth with you.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
November air is cold you know
The trees are bare
The ground is froze
But the fire's burning
Oh so low

[Prechorus]
Got a thankful heart
Yeah I do

[Chorus]
What am I grateful for I don't know
The sun it shines I see the glow
I'm grateful for the winter snow
It helps me grow

[Verse 2]
The wind it howls a mournful tune
Beneath the eaves
Under the moon
But inside is cozy
Coming soon

[Prechorus]
Got a thankful heart
Yeah I do

[Chorus]
What am I grateful for I don't know
The sun it shines I see the glow
I'm grateful for the winter snow
It helps me grow

Thankful Heart

here they come now
here they come
wearing masks
not even they will know 
what they have done

here they come now
here they come
wear the mask
not even you will see
what you have done to me

the finches
can anyone tell
when they screech woefully?

the righteous
keep scrubbing that blood off
their hands

have patience
he said as he took 
my children away

I'm faceless
and all of my story
is written on sand

yeah, written on sand
sand

there they go now
there they go
it's all your fault
that's what happens 
when you break the law

something you should have known
god must've told you so
we're not the animal
we're not the animal!

you might just
never have to see blood
on your hands
and there's more than one mask
you can wear

but the cages
they still have to be manned
and there will be 
damnation to spare

sand
it's been written on sand
it's been written on sand

here I come now
here I come
wear the mask
not even I will know 
what I have done

here I come now
here I come
wear a mask
not even I will see
what I have done

here we go again
here we go again
not sorry
your story
will be written on sand

Written on Sand

I wrote this poem about 20 years ago, when I was training in bee shamanism.  I released it as a spoken word track in 2023 called The Song of the Bee Priestess, https://soundcloud.com/annie-dieu-le-veut/the-song-of-the-melissae-bee-goddess

Bee shamanism is an ancient tradition and in the temple of Demeter in classical Greece, the bee priestesses were known as Melissae.

Paroles, musique et chant : Myckaël Marcovic

En dessous de tout

Je suis né d’un père incongru
Sur une mère labourée
De coups de reins en coups de pieds
Histoire de varier le menu

Chargée d’alcool et de ménage
Ma mère astiquait sa prison
Les trois filles et les trois garçons
Flottaient au gré de ses naufrages

Refrain :
Moi, j’étais en dessous de tout
Dans l’innocence de mon enfance
Dans l’impuissance de ces grands fous
Et l’amour pleurait leur absence

Un juge vous a séparés
Plus de famille, que des copeaux
Qui sortaient sans but du rabot
Qu’une étrange pension a glanés

Pendant quatre ans je fus sauvé
Je n’ai plus vu de mare de sang
Mais sans parents, même inconscients
Qui sait pourquoi un jour il est né ?
(refrain)

Les années ont fait leur chemin
Aux quatre coins des frères et sœurs
Moi, j’ai pris la vie comme un leurre
Dans le grincement de mes moulins

Si l’on me pose la question :
Soit sur l’absence de leur présence
Ou la présence de leur absence ?
Permettez cette ultime précision :

Refrain :
Puisque vos tombes vous vont bien
Que la vérité tombe enfin
Vous étiez en dessous de tout
Comme aujourd’hui dans vos deux trous

I've written songs in five minutes before. But this one, 100% bio, took me 64 years! 64 years and 57 minutes. Not for the faint-hearted.
Lyrics, music, and vocals: Myckaël Marcovic

Below everything
I was born to an incongruous father
And a mother battered
By blows and kicks
Just to vary the menu

Loaded with alcohol and housework
My mother polished her prison
The three girls and three boys
Floated along with her shipwrecks

Chorus:
I was below everything
In the innocence of my childhood
In the powerlessness of these crazy adults
And love cried for their absence

A judge separated you
No more family, just shavings
That came out aimlessly from the plane
That a strange boarding school gleaned

For four years I was saved
I no longer saw pools of blood
But without parents, even unconscious ones
Who knows why one day he was born?
(chorus)

The years have taken their toll
On the four corners of brothers and sisters
I took life as a decoy
In the grinding of my mills

If I am asked the question:
Either about the absence of their presence
Or the presence of their absence?
Allow me this final clarification:

Chorus:
Since your graves suit you well
Let the truth finally come out
You were beneath everything
As you are today in your two holes
