RPM Challenge 2017 (*What* Challenge, you ask? Minimum 10-song album, entirely written and recorded within the month of February: for more info, rpmchallenge.com) And I squeaked it out for my sixth year! Attends Pas! (Don't Wait) features 15 songs, rather than the minimum 10, but boy, don't ask how I managed it. I'm feeling a little dizzy right now.  :)  Enjoy this first song off the album. Lyrics and translation in the description box. Thanks for listening!

Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 27th Feb: from mid-day on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch231

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 231

Kate Davis - Only Growing Old

Forever

Only loneliness can teach you
how only love can reach you
when you´re blue
Only lonely love can take you
to loneliness and make you
see the truth

Whatever they have told you
Nomatter what they say
Only love will stay
forever

Only loneliness will show you
how only love can know you
night and days
Only lonely love can give you
the loneliness you live through
better ways

Whatever they may buy you
Whoever they may be
only love is real
forever and ever and ever

Only loneliness will find you
the only love in time to
fly away

When it´s dark in the middle
Only loneliness can teach you
That only love can reach you
Cause when you´re blue
Only lonely love can take you
To loneliness and make you
Maybe see the truth

So Spoke The Old Man

Forever (remix)

Lyrics:

Lion House
(Si Connelly)

Sitting on my own again
Talking to the animals 
Catdog and the Dinosaurs 
Twitching and a scratching
Avoiding eye contact

Built myself a lion house
So I can be king
Got myself stuck in a mousetrap
If you all drown I can sail out in a boat made of paper
And I can count on my fingers and when i run out I can count on yours

I wanna fly so high
Under the black sky
In a beautiful lion house

The captain and the king
They fell off the earth
They’d been living in a matchstick town
Ever since it burned 
Bodies turned to ivory 
Pure white attack
And the silence brought it all back    

I wanna fly so high
Under the black sky
In a beautiful lion house
In a beautiful lion house

ATTENDS PAS!

Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas!


Je parle à moi-même?
Même si...
Alors, même si

Je peux pas remonter le temps

On gardait le silence
Beaucoup, beaucoup
On était douce

On doit parler fort
Ouvertement
Défendre les sans-voix
Les sans-voix


Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas!


J’ai attendu trop longtemps?
Attendu
Que d’autres parlent pour moi?

Je peux pas remonter le temps
Mais on peut monter le son

On peut arrêter le tour
Le tour
Le tourbillon

Crie au scandale
Sur leur seuil
Crie à haute voix, maintenant
Maintenant
Maintenant!


Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas!

C’est une chanson d’amour—
Mon frère! Ma sœur! Notre avenir!
Mes voisins! Notre avenir!
Mes voisins! Notre avenir!
Mes voisins! Notre avenir!

Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas!

Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas...
Oooh, attends pas!

DON’T WAIT!

Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait!


Am I talking to myself?
Even if...
Well, even if

I can’t turn back time

We’ve kept silent
So much, so much
We’ve been soft

We have to speak up
Openly
Speak up for those who have no voice
For those who have no voice


Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait!


Have I waited too long
Waited
For others to speak for me?

I can’t turn back time
But we can turn up the volume

We can stop the turn
The turn
The whirlwind’s turn

Call out in protest
On their doorstep
Call out loudly, now
Now
Now!


Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait!

This is a love song—
My brother! My sister! Our future!
My neighbours! Our future!
My neighbours! Our future!

Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait!

Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait...
Oooh, don’t wait!

Letra: João Felipe Parreiras
Música: Luis Santos

Há um lugar chamado Sambazul
As águas lamacentas do Delta
se encontram com o Verde-Rosa do sul

Já ouvi um velho feiticeiro cantar
sobre os órfãos filhos d'África
em Sambazul

Como eles navegam nos rios brasis,
nos rios bravios que corre seu sangue ancestral
não sei, não vi

Como eles conquistam as ninfas,
tão ínfimas, tão íntimas,
com a percussão dos grilhões
com o som dos violões
Eu não sei, eu não vi

Porque nem seiva salva
essa gente
Nem saliva convence
a selva capital

Talvez o carnaval
os salve,
os livre,
para nadarem nus
no Emancimississippi

Capital
Colonial
Canavial

-----

There is a place called Sambazul
The muddywaters from the Delta
Meet the Pink-Green from the south

I once heard
an old sorcerer singing
about the orphans sons of Africa
in Sambazul

How they sail in the brazilian rivers
the brave rivers where your ancestral blood flows
I do not know, didn't saw it

How they conquer the nymphs
so intimate, so tiny
with the percussion from the grilhões
with the sound from the guitars
I do not now, didn't saw it

No sap can save these people
neither saliva convinces
the capital jungle

Maybe the Carnival
can save them
can free them

So they can swim naked
in the Emancimississipi

Capital
Colonial
Canavial

Well i think that there are those
Who push their fingers through
The shell of a wall
And make a hole to look out through
And they stare out
At the cinders of the world
With naked eyes
Knowing too much besides

Well tell me, who’s taking you home tonight?

Living grows round us like a skin
To shut away the outer desolation
For if we clearly mark the furthest deep
We should be dead long years before that grave leap
Well i think that there are those 
Who push their fingers through
The shell of a wall 
And make a whole to look out through
And they stare out
At the cinders of the world
With naked eyes
Knowing too much besides

Well tell me, who’s taking you home tonight?

Looking in and out
Knowing themselves
Heaven and hell
And too much else
Oh you, you break the shell

But tell me, who’s taking you home tonight

The Shell

The Trance

See YouTube for lyrics: https://youtu.be/oatSuNnvKXs. See https://DAVEHEFFNER.COM. Alice Weiler - vocals, Bruce Klepper - string arrangement (https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1), Dave Heffner - music and lyrics. Classical composer Bruce Klepper has been creating orchestral string arrangements on several of my new songs, including this one, which adds a wonderful richness to the electronic composition. We are both learning how to work together over the Internet from my northeastern location to his western residence. Alice's voice fits this song well and is enhanced with her doing multiple vocal layers at several points in the song. The lyrics help remind us to not worry about the things we cannot control. This is now the fourth song on the “yet to be named” upcoming summer album. Photo courtesy of Jan Heffner; taken in Colorado.

***Please note lyrics for all original songs are in the comments: click through to individual tracks to read lyrics.***

I do get asked a bit about "the music" but it's no more, no less, than support for the songwriting at this point. Let us call each song a humble, unfinished demo, and I do very much hope you'll enjoy them in that vein. 

I sweat blood for each p'tite chanson, considering every word, every turn of the story, and every note as carefully as I am able, and they are all my dear babies. None is put on this 'Cloud unless I believe I gave it my all, and unless I really hope YOU will find something in it to enjoy.


Thanks to every dear one of you for having a read of this About and having a listen to my songs!! I have lovers of my music outside of this venue, and I thank goodness for those friends—but all of you supportive folks on SoundCloud have truly become an *essential* part of the wind in my sails.


[Désolée, certaines chansons sont un peu plus silencieuses, et certaines, un peu plus fortes que les autres. Contrôle du volume est recommandé!]

J'espère que vous entendez : Une mélange entre Sheryl Crow et les Spin Doctors, ouvrée pour une audience Québecois—c'est le rock cru avec des vocals forts qui provient du blues et de la musique folk, avec un peu de funkiness. En ce moment, il y a seulement des vocals (et un peu de batterie avec laquelle je m'ai amusée dans certains chansons), mais c'est là que je veux de cette musique. Le message : Une peu d'humour, un peu d'amour, une peu de colère… flirty, un peu sexy, optimiste sans fin, mais sage et une pointe de lasse.

[Sorry, for now some songs are a bit quieter and some a bit louder than others. Volume control recommended!]

The notes I hope to hit: A cross between Sheryl Crow and the Spin Doctors, crafted for a Québec audience—a raw rock with strong vocals that draws on blues and folk music, and a little funkiness. At the moment, there’s only vocals (and a little drums I’ve played around with on a few tracks), but that’s about where I’d want the music to land. The message: A little humour, little love, little anger... flirty, a bit sexy, endlessly optimistic, but wise and a touch road-worn.

Attends Pas!
