Lyrics:
Used to be nothing
Now I 'am me
Please don't push my buttons
Cause I've been running from the things
That make this real 
And I have had enough
Cause I've been trying 
Not to feel
The consequence of 
Always wanting more of this
And I've been chillin all day
Let them pave the way
So I might as well wait 
Two feet in the grave
Four blunts to the face
Six shots and I'm awake

When you read this
I might be gone
I'm feeling how you feel
When enough is enough 
Fear, pain, rage 
And no love
I miss the good old days 
With the sex and the drugs
I'd like to be rich
I could have some money 
Put some gold on my wrist
I got a bullet that will 
Make me a myth
But not before
I play your screams like a riff

Lyrics:
stop motion seems like it's haunted
seems right but feels like it's daunting 
vacations not what I wanted
I don't need to get away
the distance is dawning 
this moment is raw yet two sided
I'm blue but a abiding
because hiding inside is so
very exciting

arise
seven more days till the sky
reddens and covers the light
don't cover your eyes
or sto in the cupboard for they know you hide now
the harder it is the longer you bide time
holding the line
thing in the ruins with muscular vines
twining testicular grapes up the spine
of those who would try
to save us from evil when evils a
I said evils alive
from evil when evils a
I said evils alive

Le sommeil du matamore

Messieurs, mesdames, mon moi et moi
Vont vous chanter leur oraison
Que j’ai vécue, enfant de chœur,
Dans mon sommeil de matamore

Je moissonne des capucines,
Des mandragores de couleur
Les soirs de brume sur la colline
Sur des losanges de sept lieues

Je pense à des mots de saisons
Comme l’amour jamais cassé
Comme l’extase des matins
Comme la pitié un vendredi

Je traverse des macadams
Dans des souliers de carabin
Rouges qui exhalent la mort 
Comm’ les bottes de Saint-Pierre

Les moralistes, parlons-en !
Ils nous tartinent le melon !
Allez pointer, mais allez donc
À vos comptoirs de xénophobes

Les prophètes ont signé un pacte :
Ces fous de Dieu qui puent de l’âme
Et qui refoulent du malheur,
Sonnent les cloches de leurs blâmes

Ils sont tous là comme des loups
Fumant des pieds sur leur empire
Pour Dieu, la mort c’est l’habitude
De nettoyer ses souvenirs

Quand la lumière se fait courage
C’est toujours l’autre qui a tort
Il n’aime que ce qu’il ignore
Ses essuie-glaces sont en panne

Tous leurs couloirs cassent la vie
Avec leurs portes colmatées
Surtout la nuit, elles me font mal.
Et j’entends ricaner les hyènes

Messieurs, mesdames, mon moi et moi
Vous ont chanté leur oraison
Que j’ai vécue, enfant de chœur,
Dans mon sommeil de matamore

The matamore's sleep

Gentlemen, ladies, me and I
Will sing you their oration
That I lived, choirboy,
In my matamore sleep

I harvest nasturtiums,
Colored mandragores
On foggy evenings on the hill
On seven-league rhombuses

I think of seasonal words
Like love never broken
Like the ecstasy of mornings
Like pity on a Friday

I cross macadams
In red shoes
Red with the smell of death 
Like Saint Peter's boots

Let's talk about moralists!
They're spreading the melon!
Go and punch the clock
To your xenophobic counters

The prophets have signed a pact:
God-fearing fools who stink of the soul
And repress misfortune,
Ring out their bells of blame

They're all out there like wolves
Smoking their empire with their feet
For God, death is the habit
To cleanse one's memories

When light becomes courage
It's always the other who's wrong
He only loves what he doesn't know
His windshield wipers are out of order

All their corridors break life
With their clogged doors
Especially at night, they hurt me.
And I hear the hyenas cackling

Gentlemen, ladies, me and I
Have sung their oration to you
That I lived, choirboy,
In my matamore sleep

Lyrics:
I like to fight
because I like to make you mad
make you mad
cause it makes me feel better
apart even though we are together
don't start
cause it's kind of like forever
one, two, three more times
and I can feel myself grow
will you be my valentine
watch me as I row
across the ocean on a boat
look at the moon
look at the sky
take another fucking flight 
right into your eye

we got cups
trucks
cheap beer
good luck
when we in the barn
we turn up
cause we work hard
and we give no fucks
who the little lady with the short shorts on
do a little spin take them bad boys off
five outta Ten 
but imma take her home yeah
girls out here know how to get down man
remember when the lantern fell
burnt the place down
with the flames of hell
remember when we blamed the horse
now he's glue to hang a memory 
of them at the morgue yeah yeah
I can still smell the smell
and the screams
they echo in unison

Lyrics:
there's a mirror
at the end of the earth
if you look long enough
you can see the truth
there's a lesson
at the end of it all
in a message in a bottle
at the bottom of the waterfall
get it
go get it
good riddance
just kidding 
just go
god as my witness
you better get it
even though I bet my soul
that you end up missing

and it's great to be alive
live another day
take another life
I'm fading out of patience 
and the bandwidth I've been running
has been making me feel latency
change my ways bitch that's not fun
change my ways bitch I wanna die young
but I can't die young
If I don't die soon
cause I'm bout to be 30 
and they call me old dude
call me old dude cause my skin is grey
abuse this body can take
now never will I ever have to lay awake
thinkin bout the things I can never change
 

Bottom of the Waterfall

Produced and written by Sarah Paradise-Brown

I see you in the glass
Your eyes are mine
A flicker of hope
In a torn design

One hand reached softly
The other withdraws
I’m bound to your rhythm
Your unspoken laws

Two of me like fire and rain
One self destructs
The other downs the flame
I trace the lines
Of who I cannot be
Forever bound
To two of me

Two of me
Like a tide and the moon
One brings the dusk
The other the bloom

A dancers reflection
A strange symphony
Tangled endlessly dancing
Two of me

Two of me like fire and rain
One self destructs
The other downs the flame
I trace the lines
Of who I cannot be
Forever bound
To two of me

Two of me

In the quiet skies
I hear your softly say
We’re both the same
Don’t turn away
And though we are one
Not two I see
I must embrace 
Two of me
Two of me

Two of me like fire and rain
One self destructs
The other downs the flame
I trace the lines
Of who I cannot be
Forever bound
To two of me

In shadows and sunlight
My story is told
Both sides wrestle
Both young and old
She tells me a secret
That I'll never share
A battle of heart
In the clear cold air

You scatter my dreams
Like leaves in the breeze
Yet promise me warmth
With the voices that freeze
Your laughter creeps in
Through every door
Your silence grips me
Leave me unsure
We dance in the moonlight
Both tied yet free
Bound by your longing 
Your duality

We dance in the moonlight
Both tied yet free
Bound by your longing 
Your duality

Snow Moon is the name of the full moon for February, and so this is the next track in our (as yet, unanamed) album that @APi_ZZ and I are making to honour each of the 12 moons of the year. We hope you enjoy it!

WORDS: 

Snow Moon came sailing in on a black anvil cloud
And gazed down at the red roofs in the hushed vale below.
The people were fatigued, that much she knew. 
They felt it had been a long time since Yule, 
The grey-skied days were taking their toll. 
She could hear them as they slumbered on.
Their dreams and prayers stole through her heart 
On their way up the silver stairway to the stars. 

She waved to Aquarius, the Water Bearer,
In no time, sparkling crystals filled his pails,
And he tipped them down towards the vale. 
White lace fractal flakes fell in silent veils, 
Each one complete in itself; unique in shape,
Swaying in murmurations, in soundless accord, 
Whispering into swansdown drifts and banks
And turning the valley into a winter wonderland. 

Snow Moon shone in pleasure at her twinkling boon
Until dawn, when the Sun rose to light the scene 
With an iridescent pink and coral sheen. 
Then two small boys pulled back their blinds, 
Rubbing the sleep from their eyes in delight 
And wonder that their whole world was now white. 
They ran downstairs: “Dad! It’s snow! It’s snow! 
“Do you think the schools will be closed?” 

Dad smiled at the memory of his first Snow Day. 
No trains could run; black ice covered the lanes
It was days before the snow ploughs got through. 
So he knew that there was only one thing to do. 
He went out to his shed, the boys jumping in tow, 
And he reached up to bring down an odd-looking gizmo, 
“What’s that, Dad?” his sons wanted to know,
“It’s a toboggan,” he replied with eyes alight. “Let’s go!”

Lyrics:
there's whispers from outside the tent
to vent
is all I have left
weapons on weapons on deck
these people aren't real
just a means to the end
instant regret
thinking descends into doing 
and doing is what I resent
they know my secret
now it dies with them

so fat over there like a pear
with a face so ugly and I bet you don't care
bout the way that they stare 
when you come into town
and your underwear are brown 
kinda wish you were dead
if you ever get married then
I hope that she dies
when you cry 
cause your face turns red
at the funeral they said
that you were sleeping with your dad
and the baby they had
came out and it was black
grabbed his chest and had a little heart attack
your mom dies in side at the sight of that
then you got home and you found out
that your cat ran away
the cancer decided 
to make its way to the brain

It Dies With Them

For anyone who's ever been angry with time.

The Thief

Hypnotised (Club Mix) (2006)
The name of this song has been inspired by the hypnotic bass line. It actually started as a weird sound design experiment, and ended up as one of my favourite songs from my album "Trancemotion".

Trancemotion

Hypnotised (Club Mix)

This is the most ancient love song in the world,  by the Sumerian goddess Inanna to her lover, the shepherd Dumuzi. 

You find lots of erotic imagery in the arts connected to the temple sex rites of the Fertile Crescent, which were about the Divine Marriage or Alchemical Marriage. This poem, attributed to Inanna, comes from the Isin-Larsa period (2017-1763 BCE) in Uruk, in which the EN-priest or king would engage in sexual congress with Inanna’s representative from the ranks of ENTU-priestesses.

There would have first been a royal procession to the giparu, Inanna’s temple, and the whole ritual would have concluded with a rich and lavish wedding feast. (If you'd like to read more, my article is here: https://anniedieuleveut.com/2023/05/15/inanna-queen-of-heaven-and-sumerian-womb-shamans/) 

The music and vocals are via the auspices of Udio.

Inanna's Song (erotic)

I wrote these words during a shamanic darkness initiation in 2005, in which I'd been blindfolded and kept in the dark for three days. Someone put a pad and pen in my hand. I couldn't even see what I was writing. It turned out to be my first ever poem. I didn't know then that I was writing a song that I'd be making the music for with Suno, and putting on Soundcloud two decades later! 🙏

The absence of light over a long period causes the brain to produce its own natural DMT and so the visions are as good as with any other psychotropic substance, like peyote or magic mushrooms.

Words:

Black black black 
Deepest velvetest black...
The land of the Midnight Sun.
Where iridescent white lilies glow 
And shimmer.
Where vast cathedrals rise up and fall.
Where vibrant rainbow feathers flutter by
And then dissolve.
Where the World Tree reaches up to heaven.
Where glittering winged dragonflies zoom in
And then disappear
Where huge caverns drip with shimmering stalactites,
And then open up into tunnels of light.
Where the beauteous Lady resides.
Silver sylvan groves appear before my eyes
And a bough on the World Tree springs
As the firebird leaves it, and soars.
Let me ever remain in this paradise
Of the Darkness.
