this is a lovely song! glad I came across it!

Such a loving song, it carried me along on a journey..

Chanson qui redonne du moral dans ce flot de mauvaises nouvelles quotidiennes !

Très bonne chanson à tous points de vues. Bravo ! [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

if the music business made sense any more, this would be a hit....gorgeous

I get teared up every time I listen to this song.

I second what Linda said. That chorus in particular is incredibly poignant. Another masterpiece Lien.

Symmetry

It’s all around
Daylight breaks on frozen ground
And I've never told you
How good it feels to grow old with you

The night is cold and hard as steel
But you and I will never feel
The silent night the shivering morning
This burning ember heats our home

Its all above
An icy wind. A burning sun
And I’ve never told you
How good it feels to come home to you

The night is ours. It’s short but sweet 
And desperate hours before the week
A daily grind a cold design
This burning ember heats our home

So cry out
What's wrong with the world?
Why can’t they see
Things like you and me?

It’s all around
Daylight breaks on golden ground
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to have grown old with you?

The night is hard and cold as steel 
But you and i will never feel
The hardened heart, the cold of shoulder
This burning ember heats our home

It's All Around

For all the refugees in the world that have had to flee their country because of the war
This is a kind of mantra song
-------
When loneliness comes
And the silence finally falls
When stop the drums
And we can't hear any calls
I won't feel the pain but a strength

Far away behind me
Far away beyond
I lost a home
But i know there will be
Others days to come
I won't be alone 

In the sun I'll rise
to fight back my fears
And in my eyes
You will see no more tears
Cause you're incredible, you're my strength
  
Far away behind me
Far away beyond
I lost a home
But i know there will be
Others days to come
I don't wanna be alone

Far away behind me
Far away beyond
I lost a home 
But i know there will be
Others days to come
I don't wanna be alone 

Far away beyond
I lost my home
But i know that with you 
Others days will come
I will never be alone

----
Quand la solitude arrive
Et que le silence s'installe enfin
Quand les tambours s'arrêtent
Et qu'on n'entend plus d'appels
Je ne sentirai pas la douleur mais une force

Loin derrière moi
Loin au-delà
J'ai perdu un foyer
Mais je sais qu'il y aura
D'autres jours à venir
Je ne serai pas seul

Au soleil, je me lèverai
pour combattre mes peurs
Et dans mes yeux
Tu ne verras plus de larmes
Car tu es incroyable, tu es ma force.

Loin derrière moi
Loin au-delà
J'ai perdu un foyer
Mais je sais qu'il y aura
D'autres jours à venir
Je ne veux pas être seul

Loin derrière moi
Loin au-delà
J'ai perdu un foyer
Mais je sais qu'il y aura
D'autres jours à venir
Je ne veux pas être seul

Loin, au-delà
J'ai perdu ma maison
Mais je sais qu'avec toi
D'autres jours viendront
Je ne serai jamais seul

waylaid  

Too many times  we’re all waylaid  and that’s fine 
too many times  it’s all waylaid  and  it goes to pot  
to pot  

Like a wave it comes and sweeps you right up and sees you see it all
But eyes, are a little bit blind and the scene is way too colourfully abstract
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,    
Still a bit waylaid, feeling somewhat waylaid,   

Take a little swim to the other other end friend
Any old stroke don’t worry about the form shawn
The wave is talking to us whispering to us all
Like an old friend’s calling for the next big call
we flounder around like elastic plastic fish  
being totally off course way too many times						
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many strings can’t see the way up   fuck
 
we alight aboard the sinking ship ‘nice n spicy’ 
but it sure rings more like lice, lice and mousy
by all means though  yeah  call it a bleak street
rather that than being an almighty shit-storm 
but really what’s with the so trendy dark-side
when it’s just another tool to set aside inside
another montage in the so-so blackened garage
then the trap door opens with the latest barrage

it’s been a forever long haul to finally get here
through those wayback times of bullet versus spear
sitting so pretty on the board with no cares of war
laying down at night with no cares of what we saw
it doesn’t take long to forget the face of firepower
and wonder how it got here - how did it get here?
the flash of piercing light through our sufferance
the tall billowing dusty plumes of our vengeance

the power of one man can dictate the spin of earth
was here before, been here before, seen this before
man on top, he’s sublime, so so totally fine yeah?
was here before, been here before, seen this before 
the power of one man can dictate the winds of earth
straight ahead not a soul in sight - damn right!
There’s gonna be hell to pay when we get loose 
too many chains don’t know the way up   fuck

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid,    
  
it’s a pity about  the bleak streets
better than a fire storm for for for sure

Too many times  we’re waylaid
feeling somewhat way way waylaid

Good morning all you wonderful music loving people. And what a beautiful Monday morning it is; made all the better by this enticing new track Clive (https://soundcloud.com/winkandwoo, https://audius.co/winkandw00) and I just finished. It’s our first collaborative effort; and the results are spectacular, if I do say so myself.

As to the backdrop for this piece... it feels surreal, traversing this world of sleepers, lost in their own self-created daydreams and nightmares. It’s a bizarre balancing act, wanting to play a helpful part in this underground movement of consciousness and unconditional love, while also trying to accept that there are many who simply don’t want to wake up from this troubling dream. But in the end, our fate will be shared across the entire planet. And the full range of choices must be recognized and honored, for this grand adventure to play out to its fullest potential.

The old saying ‘It is always darkest before the dawn’ seems like an apt concept to focus on these days. And it’s helpful to remember, great beauty can still arise from the murkiest of waters and most inhospitable of soils. Times might seem dark right now, and we are most definitely heading toward some unprecedented troubling chapters. But it is still just a story; the human story. And we all get to chose our roles, and play our parts. I’m personally quite fond of the ‘kindness and compassion’ approach myself. But there are as many roles to play as there are humans on this planet; so choose wisely, and follow your bliss. In the end, that might be all that matters. 

Clive and I hope you enjoy our first collaborative effort, ’Stay Asleep’. :)

CALLING OF THE WHALE

The October 2022 DIAMC writing prompt was about displacement, taking a character either fictional or real and putting them into an alternative reality. I imagined a world where Little Red was all grown up and off to the bright lights and big city, in search of Mr Wolf.

Demo, recorded in the spare bedroom of our holiday cottage in Ackergill.



Little Red

Little Red she’s grown up proper
Little Red, nothing’s going to stop her
She’s going to shine, like the moon
Mr Wolf, big man in the city
Mr Wolf sure likes them pretty
In for a surprise, Mr Wolf
You’d better watch that back
Look both ways
She’s coming for her due
Little Red

Little Red, headed for the Hood
Telling Granny she is going to be good
She may be lying, but honest she’s trying
Little Red steps into his bar
Mr Wolf greets her with a snarl
“Hrrrrrrrr, Babe, you’re looking swell”
Little Red flicks back long hair
Walks by, ignoring his stare
“Make mine a double on the rocks 
And wipe that look, off your face,
I swapped out that blunt old axe,
For some Mace
And I’m not afraid to use it,
Don’t need a Woodcutter no more.”

Little Red, now she’s a star
Mr Wolf, he’s gone and bought her a car
And a house, and a yacht, and a ring
He fell under her spell
Little Red, she played him so well
But damn, that girl could sing
Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

“Turned out there’d been a bit of a misunderstanding. Mr Wolf isn’t all bad, you know? Last I heard…he’d gone and bought Granny…a new condo”

Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

"Turns out, it had all been a misunderstanding. Mr Wolf, well, he is all bad you know. In fact, the last I heard, he'd gone a bought Granny a new condo.

Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

Collaboration Altodream (compo, texte, musique, mix) et Marilyn Bras (chant, précieux conseils..)

L’ombre de mon vaisseau, plane sur les dunes,
Je tourne lentement, autour de la lune,
En apesanteur, mes cheveux dressés,
Dessinent les flammes, de la liberté

Si je perds le contrôle, que les moteurs s’affolent,
Je tombe comme une pierre, en route vers la Terre.

Je fais un parachute, de ma toile cirée,
J’ouvre le hublot, je le vois gonfler,
Je remonte en flêche, vers la voie lactée
Je salue une comète, qui me voit passer,

Mais les écrans s’affolent, je reperds le contrôle,
Je tombe comme une pierre, en route vers la Terre.

C’est la panique à bord, quelque soient mes efforts,
Je vais finir, par me réveiller,
Dans un lit trop petit, entourée de harpies,
Qui ne pensent qu’à me droguer,

Je ferme les yeux, je retourne sur la lune,
Je sens les roses, qui embaument les dunes,
Paraît que ce cachet, va tout arranger,
Je ferme les yeux, je retourne sur la lune,

Autour de la lune

Autour De La Lune

I Can't Help But Be FREE.

Ritual

Hello. I love different kind of music and try no to stay in a comfortable style. In a song my priorities go to melody and harmony but what counts in the end is the emotional impact of the song. I do everything by myself with my DAW and i am therefore also interested by tips in mixing or on composition. I'd be glad to share advises and receive feedback and comments. Wish you all the joy and pleasure that only music can bring. 

Those who inspired me and who always have a special place in my mind for their whole creation and their wonderful melodies : Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush. I tried some covers to remember some of their songs.

Thank you for listening.

Anglais ou Français ? Je n'ai pas de préférence pour la musique. Je vois bien que la langue que j'utilise influence ma manière de chanter et le style de la chanson en général et j'aime cette variété. 

Jetez aussi un oeil aux paroles. Elles sont sur toutes les chansons
