Been There Done That

Anvil fx, 2015 (Bibana Graeff e Paulo Beto)

Ainu no kokoro (Anvil Fx, 2015)

On the theme of this song
Marcel Proust used to say that we should not explain a work of art, that it is a bit like giving the recipe for a dish that we offer to taste. I am generally more of this opinion but for this piece I will depart from the rule for several reasons: its length its theme its difficult and slow creation.
We often go through less inspired times sometimes even it's a great desert of ideas that seems to extend as far as the eye can see. That’s a bit of what I’ve been through for the past two years, and probably many of us. And then this summer with Aline during our vacation in the city of Nantes we visited an incredible exhibition on hypnosis and in particular the breathtaking installation by artist Tony Oursler (https://tonyoursler.com/state_nonstate- hypnosis) which was the trigger. For some time now, I had in mind the idea of ​​a series of songs around the theme of sleep and dreams (the diva in the Watchmaker Dream was the first of the series) hypnosis then became the central theme. of this second song which took the form of a suite in 7 moments.
Hysteria is a neurosis which is characterized by real physical distress and suffering which are symptoms of conflicts and psychological trauma. At the end of the nineteenth century many famous doctors like Charcot and Freud began to regard hysteria as a disease and try to treat it with hypnosis. (Freud will abandon this technique later, preferring analysis by speaking alone)
The song tells the story of a session like this in its fanciful way.



the music

I also tried to give the mix a very analog color. We worked as much as possible the old-fashioned way with real instruments plugged into tube amps, emulations of old analog synths, and a tube mic for vocals in a tube eq too, and especially trying to play them. taken live. Finally, I used emulations of mythical consoles from the seventies a lot.

Construction
The piece is conceived as a series of "pictures"  alternating of instrumentals and parts sung by Aline. All these parts were recorded in order one after the other in a single session.

 The illustration
Drawn by Aline the beginning of a series of drawings that we will integrate into a video that may see the light of day in some time

Al’z (https://soundcloud.com/al-z-z-z)
Thank you very much to Al who, not content to deliver us one of his magnificent solos of which he has the secret to close the song, lent me his ears to advise me on this mix.
Ghost in me part one
Something in itself that repeats endlessly
Two bass
A wooden metronome the beating of a heart the ticking of a clock
1 33 Mesmerise me

Hypnosis as a game of seduction ...
 
mesmerise me
hypnotize me
set my mind free
 from my bloody body

Were you a kind of Freud, or doctor Charcot?
In your eyes I saw, a strange dark glow ...

mesmerise me
hypnotize me
set my mind free
 from my bloody body

I was the kind of girl you wanted on the couch
you were to heal my soul, you said you….

501 now you’re sleeping
Not easy with this drummer ^^
5.47 tell me where it hurts
Symptoms, resistance  ...
7.06 Painful soul, body complaint
Body and mind, the voice is the physical expression of the soul
Only one take for Aline and it was in the box….
10 49 Open that door
Open a door to find behind the symptoms ...
11.58 Ghosts in me part 2
... the ghosts of childhood
 Small intrusion into the trip hop
Solo guitar: Al’z
With a helping hand from our old "partner in crime" Al who plays the final solo

It's written on my aching body,
like a long and meaningless story.
I search in the buried memories
The key that could set me free.

Ghosts in me, ghosts of my childhood
haunt my endless sleepless nights.
Ghosts in me, ghosts from my cloudy mood
chase the day, darken the lights.

I'm lost in the land of no reason,
I am the inmate, I am the prison.
I want your help to find my way,
lead my soul to the light day.

The Session (with Al'z )

A track I wrote and produced in half a day, inspired by this amazing piece of art by Phuoc Quan.

======= Lyrics =======

I’m spinning around
Trying to find my sound
When you look at the stars
You’ll see in my mind
And I’m missing you so much baby
Been alone on the road just lately

Been alone on the road
Been alone on the road
All alone
Oh oh

I’m humming a tune
Written just for you
When you open your eyes
You’ll quickly realise
That I’m missing you so much baby
Been alone on this road just lately

I hope as I go go 
Go with the flow
When you know you know
So don’t take it slow
Cos I’m missing you so much baby
Been alone on this road just lately

Been alone on the road
Been alone on the road
All alone

Been alone on the road just lately
All alone
Been alone on the road just lately
All alone

Been alone on this road
Been alone on the road
Oh oh

Been alone on the road
Been alone on the road
Been alone on the road

Alone On The Road (with Tam Jennifer & Jens Fehrensen)

Before The Devil Knows Your Name! (basic demo)

White Flag

If you are a patriot
You’re the worst kind of idiot
Chanting anthems, adoring flags
You Must have demons in your heads
I can see war in your eyes
Even Racism and xenophobia

If you are a patriot
You’re the worst kind of idiot
I know, No matter where you are

Sens-Beaujeu, Floripa or New York 
I can’t believe you can not see
People have to get together,   not apart

Well my flag is all white
My anthem is the sound of starving children’s cry
I don’t want any border in my mind
Every kind of war has patriotism behind
Let love rule,  let patriotism die

White Flag (ft. Al'Z on Guitar Solo)

I Wanna Feel We're Just Like One

I wish that I could meet the crowd 
and feel that feeling once again 
I wish one day the business man
could join us to be as one
I want to spend a lot of time
in the land where there's no pain

I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one

I wish that I could meet the crowd 
and feel that feeling once again 
I wish one day I would not need
to exchange my time just for cash
I'm just feeling I'm part of a being
who exploded into infinite grains

I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one
I wanna feel we're just like one

I Wanna Feel We're Just Like One

Lyrics:

Capitalism is Killing Planet Earth

Welcome to the church of the good spirits against capitalism
Welcome to the church of the good spirits against capitalism

I look at the sky and ask to the good spirits 
Pour upon us the light of Martin Luther king
I look at the sky and ask to the good spirits
Pour upon us the light of Bob Marley
I look at the sky and ask to the good spirits 
Pour upon us the light of Nelson Mandela
I look at the sky and ask to the good spirits
Pour upon us the light of John Lennon

You're a Bible plague , yeah
You fool them all
You kill the children 
Inside us
You kidnapped me
So young
You owe me
My real life

and they say buy, buy , buy,buy, buy , buy
buy, buy , buy,buy, buy , buy

Capitalism  is Killing Planet Earth
Capitalism is Killing the Best of Us
Capitalism  is Killing Planet Earth
Capitalism is Killing the Best of Us

<Martin Luthr King's speech>
"I want to say to you as I move to my conclusion, as we talk about “Where do we go from here?”
 that we must honestly face the fact that the movement must address itself to the question of restructuring
 the whole of American society. There are forty million poor people here, and one day we must ask the question,
 “Why are there forty million poor people in America?” And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising
 a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin
 to question the capitalistic economy. And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions
 about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. But one day we must
 come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. It means that questions must be raised. And you
 see, my friends, when you deal with this you begin to ask the question, “Who owns the oil?” You begin to ask the question,
 “Who owns the iron ore?” You begin to ask the question, “Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that's
 two-thirds water?” These are words that must be said."

You're a Bible plague, yeah
You fool them all
You kill the children 
Inside us
You kidnapped me
So young
You owe me
My real life

and they say buy, buy , buy,buy, buy , buy
buy, buy , buy,buy, buy , buy

Capitalism  is Killing Planet Earth
Capitalism is Killing the Best of Us
Capitalism  is Killing Planet Earth
Capitalism is Killing the Best of Us

<Martin Luthr King's speech>
"Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city,
 we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, 
Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

So Alone

Tons of concrete on my faith
All my cosmic contacts went away
So I sent a message to space

In the land of wickedness
Only losers know
Kind of key witness
So Alone

I forgot the rules of the game
But it's all deceit anyway
So I sat on the roof to watch the day

In the land of wickedness
Only losers know
Kind of key witness
So Alone

So Alone (ft. Bonetender)
