Just another WTF song, I reckon 🍌 EPx10 flows Accordion 🪗 ❯ Cello Bass Guitar 🎻 ❯ Piano 🎹

Please pardon my French, and enjoy the absurd waltz circus des secrets de polichinelles--it's like a gipsy burlesque chanson show, a story about  dystopian abuse (of all kinds) is increasingly being normalized, here and there and again, as we (the people, women in particular) are being dehumanized... yet (the worst part) people be like shhh 🤫

[Intro] 
Chut... 
Fais comme si t’savais pas, 
Fais comme si t’voyais pas, 
Le roi est nu, mais quelle classe, n’est-ce pas ?

[Couplet 1] 
Sous la dentelle des fashos, 
On cache les corps, on cache les mots, 
On peint la guerre couleur d’amour, 
Et les bourreaux jouent les troubadours.

La foi prêche la décence, 
Les fous vendent la délivrance, 
Et les rois font la révérence 
À leurs propres violences.

[Refrain] 
C’est un secret de Polichinelle, 
Le monde tourne à la ficelle. 
On bénit l’ordre, on brûle l’ciel, 
Au nom du bien, des seins, oh hell…

C’est un secret de Polichinelle, 
Tout l’monde ment, tout l’monde est belle. 
On rit, on pleure, on s’fait la belle, 
Sous la loi des criminels.

[Couplet 2] 
On dit “paix” pour vendre des bombes, 
On dit “mère” pour taire les tombes, 
On dit “libre” pour mieux soumettre, 
Et “Dieu” pour justifier le maître.

Les hommes de loi, les femmes de honte, 
Les vieilles idoles qu’on remonte, 
Les dieux, les lois, les vieilles montres, 
Tous décalés d’un monde qui s’démonte. 

[Refrain] 
C’est un secret de Polichinelle, 
Le monde tourne à la ficelle. 
On bénit l’ordre, on brûle l’ciel, 
Au nom du bien, des seins, oh hell…

C’est un secret de Polichinelle… 
On s’embrasse, on fait la belle, 
Comme des culs qui se querellent, 
Danse ma sœur, pense infidèle.

[Pont] 
Fais-moi croire encore un peu, 
Que le silence est vertueux, 
Que l’obéissance est glorieuse, 
Et que la foi n’est pas dangereuse…

Mais chut... le cirque recommence, 
Marionnettes en transe, 
Et sous la piste, les consciences 
Qui s’embrasent en connivence. 

[Refrain final] 
C’est un secret de Polichinelle, 
Qu’on s’aime fort, mais à genoux, 
Et qu’le courage des demoiselles 
Fait trembler tous les vieux papous. 

C’est un secret de Polichinelle… 
Sous la jupe du mensonge universel, 
J’cache ma rage et mon appel, 
Pour un monde moins artificiel.

[Outro] 
Chut... 
Tout le monde sait, Mais personne ne dit rien. 
C’est bien plus commode… Et puis, plus inhumain...

Romain Virgo - Caress Me | We Remember Dennis Brown

February 1st, marked the late reggae and lover's rock icon Dennis Brown's 59th birthday. Hailed by NPR Morning Edition as one of the 50 great voices of all time and by Bob Marley as one of the best reggae singers in the world - the revered Jamaican icon began his recording career at the tender age of 11 and has more than 75 albums to date. Even though he passed away at the early age of 42, his music and legacy lives on. 
 
VP Records, reggae's leading distributor and label, will pay homage this spring with an extensive tribute album We Remember Dennis Brown of his timeless hits covered by some reggae and r&b's most renowned artists today. Each song was re-produced by Jamaican legend Clive Hunt with his all-star team of musicians to give each song an authentic yet fresh feel.
 
To celebrate the icon during his birthday month, VP Records will reveal one song from the album every Friday for the next five weeks - including "Caress Me Girl" on Feb 5 from one of Jamaica's brightest voices Romain Virgo,  "Milk & Honey" on Feb 12 by roots reggae rockers Raging Fyah, "Bloody City" on Feb 19 from the Caribbean's soulful songstress Jah9,  "Promised Land" on  Feb 26 from Hawaiian reggae band The Green and "Have You Ever" on Mar 4 by R&B powerhouse Marsha Ambrosius.
 
In addition to these power hitters, We Remember Dennis Brown will feature an array of singers from Brown's native country and across the globe who he influenced. Jamaica's latest crop of stars (including Jah Cure, Gyptian, Chronixx and Jesse Royal) as well as the island's icons who worked with Brown (like reggae vocalists Bushman and Freddie McGregor) all offer their contributions. Freddie's son Chino McGregor and Christopher Ellis, the talented UK-based singer and offspring of Alton Ellis (another one of Brown's musical mentors and confidants), both deliver powerful renditions of Brown's classics. New Zealand rockers also create a breezy rendition of "If I Had The World." The worldly collection proves that his universal sound transcends all boundaries of time, race and creed. Each artist adds their own original flair to Brown's profound soul-stirring sound - touching the hearts of new and old fans alike on this unique multi-disc collection. We Remember Dennis Brown will include deluxe packaging as well as extensive liner notes on the belated legend. 
 
DENNIS BROWN
Dennis Brown was greatly influenced by American balladeers such as Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin as well as Jamaican singers like Delroy Wilson and John Holt. At only 12-years-old, he cut his first hit "No Man Is An Island" at Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's famous Studio One. Within the years, he was a force to be reckoned with musically - dubbed the "Boy Wonder of Jamaica" and "Crown Prince of Reggae." Before he was 16, he had worked with Jamaica's top recording artists (Alton Ellis, Horace Andy) and producers of the time (Prince Buster, Dennis Alcapone, Winston "Niney" Holness and Vincent "Randy" Chin). In the 1970s, he worked closely with producer Joe Gibbs and released multiple albums. One of the album's songs "Money in my Pocket," peaked at #14 on UK Top 40 chart becoming one of the biggest international hits in Jamaica's history. This success landed him the cover of the NME's February 1979 issue. Enthusiastically adapting to the new dancehall era, Brown released a huge amount of work throughout the 1980s recording with genre's major producers like King Jammy on Brown's 1986 album The Exit and Gussie Clarke in 1989 with the Gregory Isaacs duet "Big All Round" and the album Unchallenged. He continued to record prolifically in the 1990s before his passing. His 1994 album Light My Fire and 2001 release Let Me Be the One were both nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album.
