From Kim Bingham's album "UP!"

There’s a war
Going on inside your head
And it’s got you feeling so bad
That you don’t know what to do
You go to work
Whether morning’s sunny or grey
As the time bleeds into the days
It leaves your hot red blood cold blue

So I’m turning to you
Can’t you love the disease Bel Ami
I got some beautiful blues
Then we can do as we please  Bel Ami

How you long
For a lucky streak that would stay
I remember grand golden days
When you’d play your hand and win
We get along
On a deed a trick or a tale 
Find our way to ships that’ll sail
Feel the sun upon our skin

So I’m turning to you
Can’t you love the disease Bel Ami
I got some beautiful blues
Then we can do as we please  Bel Ami

When fake applicants come flocking
With bouquets and funny talking
You can turn them away  
You’re the perfect dream to show up
As we watch the whole world blow up into 
Thin white haired cliché
Then we’ll find our peace of mind
You and me
Bel Ami

So I’m turning to you
Can’t you love the disease Bel Ami
I got some beautiful blues
Then we can do as we please  Bel Ami



Bel Ami

UP  

For Heaven’s sake stop climbing the walls
That make your reach impossible
You’re hungry for release

We keep working up in spite of it all
The climb is age-old ritual
And I can hardly breathe
Still I’m hearing a calling in the breeze

Life’s getting loud and I’m lost in the waves
Turn it up
I follow the sound I hear the music say
Turn it up

The message I hear comes through loud and clear
It leads you like a pioneer
With miles ahead I see
Eyes in the walls get small as we rise
Leave the envy in disguise
We all get deceived
It’s all becoming what you believe

Life’s getting loud and I’m lost in the waves
Turn it up
I follow the sound I hear the music say
Turn it up
Up

Despite it all 
It’s ritual 
You hear the call

If it’s all for the taking
Let’s play it like we only win
In a new direction

Life’s getting loud and I’m lost in the waves
I follow the sound I hear the music say
Turn it up
Turn it up

Life’s getting loud and I’m lost in the waves 
Turn it up
I follow the sound I hear the music say
Turn it up
Up

UP! (Version francaise)

Kim Bingham has kept her relentless pop energy through the evolution of her award-winning career in music. 

Kim's single "Beppe Green" is her first in English and Italian, an energetic powerpop song that commemorates her fun times spent in Italy.

Kim's album Up! marked the return of Kim Bingham, the Canadian singer-songwriter behind the music of the TV series Les Invincibles and the ska sensation Me, Mom & Morgentaler. Flying solo, she gathered a flock of renowned musicians for her solo album, Up.

Kim Bingham started her impressive career with the Montreal ska phenomenon Me, Mom & Morgentaler. She continued her musical journey with solo projects Mudgirl and The Kim Band, as well as being part of touring bands for international artists such as David Usher, Bran Van 3000 and Nelly Furtado. In 2007, the charming singer made a splash in Quebec with the TV series Les Invincibles (Radio Canada), for which she wrote the original score during the series' award-winning three seasons.

Written in Paris and recorded in Los Angeles, Up! was co-produced by John Kastner (The Doughboys, Bran Van 3000). Kim is backed by a stellar band, including drummer Gene Trautmann (Queens of the Stone Age), guitarists Jason Falkner (Jellyfish) and Christopher Thorn (Blind Melon), past members of The Dears, George Donoso (drum, guitar) and Martin Pelland (bass, synths). Montreal dance-music masters Creature helped produce the French single Party Girl and a remix of the album's title track.

Strongly influenced by pop artists like David Bowie, ABBA, The Beatles, Badfinger and Fleetwood Mac, Kim Bingham’s Up! brims with a jukebox feel. Not only an expression of her immense zest for life, Up! is also a warm thank you to all the collaborators who supported and helped her in becoming the evolving artist she is today. It’s a celebration of the victories and challenges of life.
