Mnemonic Decay Waltz

Never A Moment Wasted

Track 10 from the album "B Sides, Alternates and Other Songs" ......... a collection of 10 songs written or recorded during the making of my "For the Stars" album in 2019 but didn't make the album.......releasing one song monthly thru October 2020!

"You Don't Know Me" is another true B Side. It was written long before I statred the "For the Stars" album and I recorded it with the intentions of having it on the album. But my wife vetoed it (she's my "test" audience!) in favor of another song and I felt 10 songs were enough for this album. So here it is now!

ALL OF MY TRACKS ARE FREE TO DOWNLOAD direct from this page or at this link: lenaloise.bandcamp.com/music ........... CD's are available in the USA for the cost of postage at this link: lenaloise.bandcamp.com/merch

(English translation above)

PREUVES D’AMOUR

Envie d’amour, ton corps accourt
Petit animal d’impatience
Ton désir dit : je suis pour
Mais le toujours a plus d’exigences.

Refrain :
Garde tes paroles, elles sont belles
Mais s’envolent
Oublie un peu tous tes « je t’aime »
Donne-moi des preuves d’amour

Si tu ne penses qu’à ton désir
Regarde-toi dans le miroir.
Il est là pour te faire plaisir,
Tu verras Narcisse, même dans le noir

Et pour que tout soit clair
Voici ma recette
Sans prise de tête :

J’aime les romantiques qui ne sont pas en toc
Quand la main sur le cœur, ils ne font pas semblant
Et plus don que Juan, quand ils brisent leur roc
Quand l’amant animal se transforme en aimant.
(refrain)

Alors si tu n’as pas peur
Lève-toi, je n’attends que toi
Tu sais le prix de mon cœur
Si c’est trop dur, bah ! tant pis pour toi
Mais
(refrain)

PROOF OF LOVE

Craving love, your body comes running
Little animal of impatience
Your desire says: I am for
But always has more demands.

Chorus:
Keep your words, they’re beautiful
But fly away
Forget all your “I love you”
Give me proof of love

If you only think of your desire
Look in the mirror.
He’s here to make you happy,
You’ll see Narcissus, even in the dark

And to make it clear
Here is my recipe
Without a headache:

I like a romantic who’s not in the mood
When the hand on the heart, they don’t pretend
And more gifted than Juan, when they break their rock
When the animal lover turns into a magnet.
(chorus)

So if you’re not scared
Get up, I’m waiting for you
You know the price of my heart
If it’s too hard, well! Too bad for you
But
(chorus)

Preuves d'amour

Mary , Queen of Scots (8 December 1542 – 8 February 1587), also known as Mary Stuart, queen of Scotland (1542–67) and queen consort of France (1559–60). Her unwise marital and political actions provoked rebellion among the Scottish nobles, forcing her to flee to England, where she was eventually beheaded as a Roman Catholic threat to the English.
The scene to the soundtrack:
In the May sunshine, Mary and her 2nd husband Lord Darnley her cousin went to ride to the Scottish
woodlands.It all seemed like a dream, the wild ride, the strange smells and sounds.
They should have a race. Mary loved to ride and to ride fast. A horn sounded, it notes oddly out of
place where no hunters were.

IPG1 Let's Rock NormaL......"Taking It Back"

Been to Venus and Saturn now I've returned 
to set the beats on fire so let the fire burn 
this is IPG1 Spark a fire first phase was the
Beat and the lyrics now here— comes the blaze
When hip-hop went sideways I brought it all back
The styles I displayed as I put it back on track
Don't be afraid IPG1 is back
Taking it back...

Kicking ass with rhythm patterns until now-unknown
I'm light years ahead like another-time zone 
More than you can handle in another-rhyme zone
Thought I was done not till your minds blown
This is how I do it not being conceited
A cosmic contingency mission completed
I rock reality phonies defeated
Hungry for HipHop automatically repeated
Chorus
Ain't no sense in being so damn formal 
I'm  incognito so let's rock normal 
this is IPG1 on the inside track
traveling through time taking hip-hop back

Check the rhymes the style and the literature 
as the Rhythm evolves you'll see the spirit is pure
I'm going to rock the beats like never before 
And when I'm done you'll be waiting for more
traveling through time could be a blast from the past
present or future but built to last
now as the beat hits it knock you out your daze
remember the beat was just first phase 
Riding The beats with a hip-hop groove 
now I'm rocking normal I just can't lose
taking it back...
I Stay alert and always at the ready
don't mean I'm dangerous just means I'm deadly
There'll  be casualties as a matter of fact
Personally I can guarantee that
Cause I rock reality phonies defeated
Total calamity My patience depleted
Empowered by the beat raining down defeat 
so cry me a River cause I'm here to deliver 
another verse to make you shiver
Taking it back...

Ain't no sense in being so damn formal 
I'm incognito so let's rock normal 
this is IPG1 on the inside track
traveling through time taking hip-hop back
thought it was over hell no I'm  back
Run it through your headphones and add it to that stack
of tracks you have that hit like crack
then eliminate all that other crap 
they had the nerves to calling rap
replay it again Because this jam is packed

Ain't no sense in being so damn formal 
I'm incognito so let's rock normal 
this is IPG1 on the inside track
traveling through time taking hip-hop back
thought it was over hell no I'm  back
Run it through your headphones and add it to that stack
of tracks you have that hit like crack
then eliminate all that other crap 
they had the nerves to calling rap
replay it again cause this jam is packed

Taking It Back

Taking It Back Vocals 95 BPM

Scorched Earth

I know how to blacken out the sun                   
I can make the air weigh heavy
My heartbeat smashes like a drum
You’ve had to learn to be ready

I’m forever not one to die wondering             
Gonna let you know when I see you bad
Cause my spirit does shudder and drain away
Just you having fun can make me crack

I nail you to a cross on fire                             
Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar
How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right       
                                                                                               
I put it on you you’re a sinner
But that’s a lie - a fabrication
My hang ups squirm inside a vice
What’s going to be my salvation?

Gotta face up to my growing up
A family life in a hideaway
I’s a little guy staring up at a roof
How come I never got to laugh and play

Yes I nail you to a cross on fire                              
Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar
How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right        

I got to lay it all out – got to apologise – love you – need you

JUST FOR A MOMENT I WAS FLYING

At first I just bounced off the floor 
Stood back up
Smiling broadly 
Floating on parental love
Safe as houses
Safe as mother’s milk

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

Now I’ve fallen over
Never really got back up
Over and over
Down I go
‘Cos of you
‘Cos of wonderful you

If there's nobody listening (do they hear?)
If there's nobody there (do they see?)
Did I trip, did I really fall (did I fall?)
Or see wonderful you? (wonderful you!)
Wonderful you?

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

Hands full of air
Lungs full of nothing
And I still see you everywhere
You still knock me over girl

[Sax Solo]

The ground just dropped away
Over and over I go
And just for a moment I was flying
And just for a moment it was good

At first I just bounced 
And stood back up
Smiling broadly 
Floating on parental love
Safe as houses
Safe as mother’s milk...

For A Moment I Was Flying

LYRICS...
VERSE1
TV’s were black and white.
Our lives were shades of gray.
Families sat on their porch,
To pass the time of day.
  
Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
TV showed the way.
People rarely questioned what
Our leaders had to say.

CHORUS1
Hey, hey! Sometimes when I remember,
Hey, hey! Could our lives have been better? Hey, hey!

VERSE2
Perfect attendance,
Every week at Sunday School.
Dress codes and short haircuts were our education rules.
The town was filled with factories,
Where neighbors worked and sweat.
People actually worried,
‘bout the national debt.

CHORUS2
Hey, hey! Sometimes when I remember,
Hey, hey! Could our lives have been better? Hey, hey!

BRIDGE
That we lived, no matter what our call.
To have loved, better than not at all.
Memories of times gone past.
Moments of youth, they can’t last.

VERSE3
Beatles had a new tune.
We landed on the moon.
Dazzled by the rich.
Happiness was coming soon.

Our President was shot,
And then there were more.
Parents didn’t talk about,
The Vietnam war

CHORUS3
Hey, hey! Sometimes when I remember,
Hey, hey! Could our lives have been better? Hey, hey!

VERSE4
Walking to school. Riding bikes all day.
Drills crawling under our desk.
Strikes supporting the Union way.
Mom and Dad knew what was best.

Parents born in the depression,
Growing up during World War II.
A better life for their children,
Told anything we want, we could do.

CHORUS4 (2X)
Hey, hey! Sometimes when I remember,
Hey, hey! Could our lives have been better? Hey, hey!

Birthday Song (Dave - vocals)

(Translation above)

Je suis auteur-compositeur et interprète... par défaut de chansons françaises. 
Après des études au conservatoire et musicologie à la Sorbonne, j'ai enseigné l'éducation musicale à des élèves en école élémentaire de 1982 à 2021.

Dès 1989, alors que je découvrais la MAO, j'ai commencé à faire des centaines d'arrangements de chansons pour enfants ou adultes dans tous les styles pour les faire chanter. Cette solide expérience m'a amené dans un premier temps à composer des chansons pour mes élèves. Puis, je me suis lancé dans un répertoire pour adultes. 128 chansons à ce jour !

Mon répertoire va de la danse traditionnelle française (La bourrée du maumarié), à l’EDM (La tête dans les étoiles) en passant par la musique classique (Double concerto pour violon, violoncelle et orchestre à cordes) et la chanson française, le gros du panier, avec le plus souvent cette pointe d’humour qui fait tant défaut aujourd’hui dans beaucoup de chansons, (ce qui est étonnant quand on voit autant d’humoristes fleurir aux six points de l’Hexagone…)

Même si certains apprécient ma façon de chanter, mes chansons sont faites pour de vrais interprètes qui aiment monter sur scène.

Né en 1961 à Paris.

I'm an author-composer and performer... by default of French songs. 
After studying at the Conservatoire and musicology at the Sorbonne, I taught music education to elementary school pupils from 1982 to 2021.

As early as 1989, when I was just discovering computer-assisted music, I started making hundreds of arrangements of songs for children and adults in all styles, to get them to sing along. This solid experience initially led me to compose songs for my students. Then I started working on a repertoire for adults. 128 songs to date!

My repertoire ranges from traditional French dance (La bourrée du maumarié), to EDM (La tête dans les étoiles), classical music (Double concerto for violin, cello and string orchestra) and French chanson, the mainstay of my repertoire, most often with that touch of humor so lacking in so many songs these days (which is astonishing when you see so many humorists flourishing at the six points of the Hexagon...).

Even if some people like the way I sing, my songs are made for real performers who like to get up on stage.

Born in 1961 in Paris.
