Lyrics :

Elle veut de moi
Je le vois 
Te cache pas
Viens on ride 
Mais je sais 
Que tu as kiffer
Ta valider 
Hun Hun
Dis moi ce que tu veux de moi 
Dis moi ce que tu ressens pour moi 
Ouu ouu
Mais que veux tu ?

Klangoebel-Soundtracks, Vol. 2: Stranger Atmospheres

This

"Sacrifice" is a raw, powerful callout vent based on personal experiences. As someone who's autistic and a people pleaser, I often get overwhelmed by choices that either hurt myself or everyone close to me. This track captures the inner turmoil and relentless strife that comes with trying to please everyone while battling political disillusionment.

Soft Illusions Of Us, the second album by Jasper Brookes, marks a significant evolution in his musical journey, showcasing a more unified and contemporary style. This concept album delves into the emotional stages of a failing relationship, presenting a poignant narrative through its three main phases.

Stage 1: Initial Optimism and Excitement
The album opens with "Was It A Dream?" capturing the initial optimism and excitement of a new relationship. The warm, hopeful tones continue in tracks like "I Can't Think When You Look At Me" and "Give Me Love," reflecting the joy and intense connection of early love.

Stage 2: Changing Emotions and Shifting Dynamics
The second phase addresses the inevitable changes and shifting dynamics within a relationship. "In The Light" highlights how emotions can evolve and how sacrifices and new paths can alter the course of love. This stage explores the complexities and challenges that arise as the initial excitement begins to fade.

Stage 3: Bitterness and Resentment
The final stage is introduced by "Two Brides Down," marking the beginning of love turning sour. This phase delves into the bitterness and resentment that build up over time. "Killing Me Softly" encapsulates the harsh realities of a relationship in decline, where affection turns into anger and hurt.

Soft Illusions Of Us intricately portrays Jasper Brookes' exploration of a failing relationship, encapsulating the desire for connection, the transformation of feelings, and the eventual sourness of drifting apart. This album offers a deeply emotional and cohesive narrative, resonating with anyone who has experienced the complexities of love.

Jasper's musical style in Soft Illusions Of Us has shifted notably from his previous work. While his debut album prominently featured guitar instrumentals, this new release embraces a new wave-inspired sound. This transformation includes the use of more backing vocals with a larger range, adding depth and richness to the tracks. The expanded vocal arrangements and electronic elements provide a fresh and modern sound, distinguishing this album from his earlier work.

The Ultra (The Yak, The Yeti, and the Mountain Goat/The Phoenix Rises Again!)

<Yeti growl>

I am a queen
I am a champion
I am the ultra
I am the one

Smile through pain
My heart it carries me
I am the mountain goat
Run to the sun

Just seven years ago, it’s true, yeah I was so slow
Then I lost my Dad, my mind, I’m lost, so no flow 
I let it run through me and found my rhythm missing him
I felt him next to me, he picked me up, and now I win

Another year, another change, so here we go again
I had my baby, fireworks, I felt alive again
It hurt to run, this body wasn’t mine, I broke my leg
I felt it slip, my mind, my soul, I hope I fight another day

And then the day came, the sun came out again
I felt electric in my veins, I got the flow I shout
I got it straight, I got my rhythm, got my wings again
I’m like a phoenix, here I rise, hot from the ash, and then

[I run all day, I run all night, 100 Miles, I take my flight
I am a queen, I am a champion, I am the ultra, I am the one]

... And then this happened

The Ultra (The Yak, The Yeti, and the Mountain Goat/The Phoenix Rises Again!)

Like my father who’s father before his… 

No I wasn’t expecting this
Felt like I was hit
With a ton of bricks
The look in your eyes
When you told me that I
Was going to be a daddy

Ooh I thought I wasn’t old enough
A couple of years
Now I might be ready
Though, I know, I ain’t so young
Enough to run
Away from this 
Awesome duty

Chorus:

Like my father
Whose father
Before his…
A sense of fear
Washed over me
To think next year 
I’ll have a kid

Like my father
Whose father,
Before his…
A sense of joy
Came back to me
And quietly,
I faced my fears

Cuz in his wanting tears
I must be here
To feel the love 
To dry his tears

True I wasn’t expecting this
Honestly,
It’s daunting
Oh my God
Me have a child
Come next year
He will be here, right here with me

I wasn’t expecting this
But Lord what a thrill
To have a kid
To look in his eyes – please let him be a boy
Knowing his mine
He’ll be the best, 
The best part of me
I’ll live through him infinitely

Chorus

Bridge:

His name will be Shon
He’ll be happy and strong
I will teach the wrongs
And will lead him aright
In return I will watch
As he slowly turn into his own
To surpass his own 
Father and on…

Then he’ll teach his own son
To follow this on…
He’ll them him the scorn
Of ignoring this song
And in return he will watch
As his own son turn into his own
To surpass his own father and on
His father and on…
His father and on…
