---

you don't have to be right,
you don't have to be.
there's every chance the world is upside down.
in strange jaws
and broken mouth
though how the tongues are soaked but never drown...

don't worry yourself,
don't worry.
the ocean doesn't judge with all it knows.
say sorry to your tired limbs and lay them on the shore
the body won't stop pulsing under clothes

the colours of the massacre that opened up my throat
and dripped down to the floor
there's a pool of barely spoken, hardly thought , and never wrote,
and stains forever more.
who are we breathing for?
who are we breathing for?

are you brave enough to follow between the stolen sounds?
are you wise enough to know what cuts in two?
can you rise to the challenge whilst you fall to the ground?
am I asking you in me or me in you?
are you brave enough to follow between the stolen sounds?
are you wise enough to know what cuts in two?
can you rise?

pulsing

Here's a live video the song, introduced by Christian.

I was 16 when I arrived in Liverpool, in 1955
I knew no one, thought no one knew me
Till I heard someone call out my name


At the port I was ordered to sign papers
but I could not read or write
Ashamed and weighed down
It said with me all through my life

Leaving Ireland, is my way back to you
I will return very soon
Over the sea that separates you and me

Leaving Ireland

Leaving Ireland feat: Dónal Lunny

Another collaboration with Torbjørn Vagle and Jimmy Rivas.
Torbjørn sent me a demo of his new song and asked if I would be interested in collaborating.
As with our previous collaborations, Torbjørn and myself traded ideas until we had a reasonable draft of the song to send to Jimmy for him to write lyrics and record his vocal.
Thanks very much to Torbjørn for asking me to contribute to this gorgeous song (visit his page to hear how he got the title) and of course to Jimmy for his outstanding vocal and lyrics. Working with these guys is awesome.

We are extremely pleased to share this free DL which is brought to you by the super talented Sotus Bo. Known for this own productions, he has reworked this classic '80s gem by the amazing Genesis into a banging up-tempo dance floor killer. One of those tracks to have in your bag and play it when the time is right. Enjoy this free gift!

A little message from Sotus Bo:
"Being strongly influenced by various terrible things that are recently happening all around the world, I was inspired to create a remix on one of my favourite '80s songs, the amazing "Land of Confusion". The absolutely stunning lyrics of Genesis sang by the incredibly beautiful voice of Phil Collins make this song more relevant now than ever. For sure we are in a land of confusion!"

La Fableuse 

Texte : Say M
Chant : Karine
Musique : Alain Illos

Qui es-tu ?
Toi que je ne connais pas 
Qui refuse les maux de tête 
Qui s'amuse des mots de soi 

Je suis la Fableuse
J'aurais pu dire la Fabuleuse 
Mais je ne bois pas

J'ai donc ignoré le «u»
Qui ira où il voudra
Je n'ordonne pas les lettres 
Mais je ne les laisse pas 
S'installer comme on sème 
Les mots ne repoussent pas 
Déjà qu'ils changent à peine 
Oui mais, voilà... 

Regardez, au moins ceux qui s'aiment 
Les mots, ils ne les cherchent pas
Ils fabulent parfois, peut-être
Mais de chaque instant, ils croient 
On les croisera le nez en l'air 
Respirant celui des sous-bois 
Ils rentreront saouls à tue-tête 
D'un amour qui, in fine, finira

Qui es-tu ?
Toi que je ne connais pas 
Qui refuse les maux de tête 
Qui s'amuse des mots de soi 

Je suis la Fableuse
J'aurais pu dire la Fabuleuse 
Mais je ne bois pas 

Car le «u» parfois s'entête 
dans rupture, se place deux fois 
Je n'ordonne pas les lettres 
Mais je ne les laisse pas 
S'installer comme on sème 
Les mots ne repoussent pas 
J'écris des maux
Des morceaux d'êtres 
J'écris des mots 
Qui parlent d'émois
 La Fableuse, c'est moi

La Fableuse avec Karine

Mediterranean Connection (For three guitars)

If I can stop one heart
from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one in pain

Or help one fainting Robin 
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain.

English / Italian lyrics

like thoughts
containing heat
as if forming
thunderstorms of words
and then you stop to look for
something important to say
something special
unlikely treasures to safeguard

Do you see these images 
of fleeting clouds?
Do you see these evenings 
that spend lonely?
When for a moment you regain
your usual good mood
I climb into your hair
I rest on your multicoloured gaze  

like thoughts
containing heat
as if forming
thunderstorms of words
when for a moment I think back
to your multicoloured gaze
you will already be sleeping
hugged at my words 

----

come pensieri
che contengono calore
come se formassero
temporali di parole
e poi ti fermi a cercare
qualcosa di importante da dire
qualcosa di speciale
tesori improbabili da custodire 

le vedi queste immagini
di nuvole passeggere
le vedi queste sere
che trascorrono da sole
quando per un attimo ritrovi
il tuo solito buonumore
mi arrampico fra i tuoi capelli
mi poso sul tuo sguardo multicolore  

come pensieri
che contengono calore
come se formassero
temporali di parole
quando per un attimo ripenso
al tuo sguardo multicolore
starai già dormendo
abbracciata alle mie parole

------
