IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS

Les vérités fragiles, celles qui indisposent
Des heures indociles qui vieillissent les roses
Sous des lueurs ingrates dans ce compte à rebours
Les années qui partent aux allers sans retour.

Les folles images sans oraisons verbeuses
Nous tournent la page des idées voyageuses
Devant ces rêves fanés de pensées furtives
Le souvenir d’un passé aux humeurs positives.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Sous couvert d’absolu, larguer le mauvais sang
Vers des terres inconnues au milieu d’océans
S’oublier des hier sans se moquer de tout
Il reste tant à faire pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
Briser le miroir des ans, s’il est tant lucide.

En rêvant de son mieux, vers de jolies pensées
Un sourire dans ses yeux ne peut faire qu'avancer
La vie est ainsi faite, elle va, elle vient, elle fuit
Et même quand tout s'arrête, rien n'est jamais fini.

Mais regardons l'avenir, il reste tant de choses
Beaucoup d'éclats de rire qui font les vies en rose
Profitons du bonheur en vivant ce présent
Et sans penser à l'heure qui brisera ce temps.

Il faut taire le temps, se faisant si rapide
A moquer le présent sans le rendre stupide
En vivant les instants… en vivant simplement.

IL FAUT TAIRE LE TEMPS (Chanson Française)

■概要(Overview)
雲の上まで続く断崖。
そこに設置されたエレベーター。
「最上階」には素晴らしい世界が広がっているらしい。
しかし、そこに行って帰ってきた人は誰もいないという。
「お客様、ようこそいらっしゃいました。(ウィィィィン・・　※妙な機械音)」
・・・・・・
そんな感じの曲です。

A cliff that extends above the clouds. An elevator installed there. 
They say a wonderful world unfolds on the "top floor." 
However, no one has ever returned from there.

"Welcome, dear guests. (Wiiiin... strange mechanical sound)" ...... 
That's the kind of song it is.

■歌詞
「エレベーター」

お客様ようこそ
いらっしゃいました
世にも珍しい
アトラクションです

超絶スピード　駆け上る　岩壁を
岩肌　打ち付けられながら　頂上めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　転がり続ける

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター 岩壁のアトラクション


虹色のライトと
豪華な内装
外の世界から
「最上階」まで

超過重量は　投げ落とす　順番に
岩肌　踊り狂いながら　楽園めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　かき消されるだけ

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター ワイルドなアトラクション


最上階は見渡す限りのお花畑
あらゆる苦しみ　無くなってゆく
極楽浄土


超絶スピード　駆け上る　岩壁を
岩肌　打ち付けられながら　頂上めがけ
泣いても　叫んでも　転がり続ける
転がり始めたら　転がり続ける
極楽浄土まで　転がり続ける

エレベーター in nature
エレベーター 岩壁のアトラクション


■Lyrics (Translated)
"Elevator"

Welcome, dear guests You have arrived At a rare attraction
Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, they keep rolling

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Rainbow lights and luxurious interiors 
From the outside world To the "top floor"
Excess weight is thrown off, 
in order Dancing crazily along the rock face, 
aiming for paradise Crying or screaming, they are just drowned out

Elevator in nature Elevator, the wild attraction


The top floor is a flower field as far as the eye can see 
All suffering disappears In the heavenly paradise

Speeding up the cliffs at incredible speed Battering against the rock face, 
heading to the top Crying or screaming, 
they keep rolling Once they start rolling, 
they keep rolling All the way to paradise

Elevator in nature Elevator, the cliffside attraction

Morag is a character in Momenticon by Andrew Caldecott. I've been meaning to compose more tracks for this project for some time. 
I quite liked the idea of her being steam punk. Whatever, her character is full if vim, hence the 145 bpm.

Morag

You call me up
Let's do a movie
You know it's gonna be fun
Now should I go or just say no
"cos I can't stand the pain

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

You knock my door
Say come on out
Why don't we both go to the beach
Lay in the sun
It'll be such fun
But you're still out of reach

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

Instrumental

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

Outro

Stuck Between a Friend and a Lover

Hereafter

Through the glass I saw a man
with weathered hands 
can you catch the timepiece falling
can you hold it in your hand
your closing every door I have opened
closing every door except the past
somewhere across the blue
I have to turn to another life
a summer wind
will take me there
I am the river washing over the stone 
you are the mountain calling me home
looking at your weathered hands

Weathered Hands

Feel free to sample these tracks.
If you do, a little credit would be appreciated.
If the result still carries any of my original input, we could even list it as a collab.
Either way, I’d really love to hear what you make with it.
 If you want me to send stems or the Ableton project, DM me.

This is my Ableton Note Fun series. 
All tracks are short stories  made on an iPhone in Ableton Note, with all its limitations, constraints, quirks, and imperfections but also a complete freedom of expression.

Hypnagogia : the transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. 

I have been continuing my mixing practice and trying to get better piano sounds with this one.

Thanks to Chris Adams for his creative input and for teaching me how valuable it is to take a step back now and again to evaluate my work before making any changes.  Thank you also Chris for polishing up my final master copy and making it "sparkle".

Hansel and Gretel were abandoned by their parents in the forest all alone.
They stumbled across a delicious looking candy-coated home.  A cannibalistic witch captured them and put them in a cage. Those were the kind of stories they used to tell children at a young age.

The brothers Grim told stories that were a reflection of their time
There was disease famine and poverty and things were not going fine 
We had to sanitize the stories because our modern stomachs are weak
And you’ll get in trouble if you read a book to kids, and it makes them shriek

Three little pigs were in a brick house trying really hard to survive 
The big bad wolf came down the chimney, fell in a pot of water and was boiled alive.
Cinderella’s stepsisters wanted to marry the prince, but they couldn’t fit into her shoes so they chopped off their heels and toes because they had so much to lose 

The brothers Grim told stories that were a reflection of their time
There was disease famine and poverty, and things were not going fine 
Little Red Riding Hood in the bedroom with a wolf dressed in human clothes.
Wondering why her grandmother had sharp teeth and a snout instead of a nose. Jack climbed the beanstalk, there was a giant who wanted to grind up his bones and make some bread. He stole the magic harp and the hen that laid golden eggs and the giant ended up dead

There’s days when you want to take a sheet of tin foil and stick it in your baseball cap
To keep all those negative thoughts from getting in your head and making you a miserable chap
Did it all start when you were a child, and your mother read you that bed time story that perhaps in retrospect may have been a bit too dark and gory

The brothers Grim told stories that were a reflection of their time
There was disease famine and poverty and things were not going fine 
Now we environmental devastation, nuclear weapons and milk that might have bird flu
Just turn on the news you don’t need a fairy tale to put the fear of God in you
But if you take away all the parts that are dark, sick twisted and gory. 
Do you have anything left that actually resembles a good story.

LYRICS

I'm the people pleaser
What can I do for you today?
Today
I'm the people pleaser
Tell me what you need and I'll say
Hey yeah yeah
You need a dime, I'll give a five
You need a lift and I'll buy you a car
I'm the people pleaser
What do you need, I'll make sure
I'll make sure, I'll make sure, I'll make sure

People Pleasing is killing me
People pleasing is wearing me down
People pleasing is killing me
People pleasing is gonna make me leave this town

I'm the people pleaser
I'm scared to say what I gotta say
Gotta say
I'm the people pleaser
Give me what time and I'll plan to stay
plan the day
You need a dime, I'll give you five
You need a lift, I'll buy you a car
I'm the people pleaser
What do you need, I'll make sure
I'll make sure, I'll make sure, I'll make sure

People Pleaser

at the first version something went wrong with the percussion, so I made this version.

My phone app seems to be unfollowing people, I refollow whenever I notice :/
