Heart of Ice

She sits up high, on a mountain top
He sits up higher, for the world to drop
And they watch over fields and they watch over crops
Couldn't have gotten higher, waiting for the world to stop
-
-
And she sits up higher, for his heart to stop
Cus she knew he's a liar, been the same all along

Tribe - HANNAH

Selkie

Lyrics;
Before we realise
All the pseudo-freedom we’ve engineered
Will have tied our hands behind our backs and took the wheel

Even though it seems
Like a Utopian paradise, it’s by design
So when human nature rears it’s ugly head
Don’t be surprised

So I’ll stay inside
Until we start regressing

Ooooh,
Something terrible is going to happen soon
I can feel it in the air, wish it weren’t true
But the state were in is by design

The end is almost here
Raise a glass as the sun comes crashing down
First it burns through major cities and then it spreads through smaller towns

And as despairing as it seems
Hemlington will be swallowed by the lake
And some 150 burned out cars will land on Eastern American shores

So I’ll remain inside
Until the future’s over

Ooooh,
Something terrible is going to happen soon
I can feel it in the air, wish it weren’t true
But the state were in is by design

The Circus (By Design)

Trolls / Tribe prod. Denys (BONUS) !!!

A sort of storytelling song I started writing because Alex asked me which of my songs we could try playing with The Grand Old Echo and I figured I might as well try to write a new one that fits the mountain theme we already have a few of in our repertoire. It might be inspired by a recent trip to the Canary Islands and the volcanic landscape there but is otherwise entirely fictional. The bridge is a bit of a mouthful and I hope the other bandmates will do that bit eventually so I don't have to embarrass myself :)

Lyrics:
Verse 1
They called her Mad Mary, all alone with her canary
In her hut on a hill where the air’s always still
While the winds round the mountain are howling and shouting
About sins and revenge and the way things will end
 
Chorus
Endless doom x2
 
Verse 2
There once was a time when the villagers were kind and
Took care of their island but after a while they
just took it for granted, wasted half of what they hunted, they
Polluted their waters and were cruel to their daughters and
 
Verse 3
They all laughed at old Mary and her harrowing fairy-
tales of fires below smouldering, waiting to show
Them the beast they created with their greed and their hatred
Getting ready to erase those who won’t mend their ways
 
Chorus
Endless doom x3
 
Verse 4
She repeated her warnings, but the village just yawned
Until then came the day when they chased her away
So she took her canary and all she could carry,
Crying  ‘the mountain’s awake, don’t you see what’s at stake’
 
Chorus
You’re all doomed x3
 
Bridge
She felt the Earth rumble, as she ran, tripped and tumbled
Down the side of the mountain, only turning around when
She arrived at the seashore, found her float, finally she saw
Clouds crashing, and the mountain’s passionate flashes, covering it all a black blanket of ash and
Columns of smoke that swallow all colour as they roll down the slopes on their mission to smother
Any hope of escape of those who noticed too late
That all life on the island had gone awfully silent
While a new kind of fiery violence arrived to devour the night while burning bright
So she turned her face away, cut the rope and set sail
Towards the golden horizon with a new sun on the rise while
The inferno’s hot breath kept bringing destruction and death
To everyone but Mad Mary and her loyal canary, singing…
 
Chorus
You’re all doomed x3
 
Verse 5
Mountain of fire, spitting out high into the sky,
They ignored all her warnings and called her a liar
Now fountains of relentless red, glowing rivers of regret that they just laughed at her when she said
 
You’re all doomed

Doomed (demo)

Recent demo updated with vocals and a few other elements:

Oh father, it's so far, feels so far away
Was it only yesterday
I set out on my own?
Alone, on my own

Father I have been laid so low
And I see no, nowhere to go
And I don’t know how to atone
No way home, no way home

Oh father so far

Father all the colors, they are fading
The world has lost its glow
And every dark cloud, raining
Not my home, not my home

Oh father so far
Oh tell me how, how far?

Oh father the night is still but I can barely hear
Is there something drawing near?
A rhythm soft and low?
Bring me home, bring me home

Oh father so far
Tell me how, how far?
Oh father so far
I wonder how, how far?
Tell me, how far?

How Far?

friends fade

Benjamin vient du Rock. Au début des années 80, il est d’abord le leader, guitariste, auteur/compositeur du groupe Mistral (rock tendance énervée, PunK) avec lequel il enregistre deux albums pour des majors. Avec le premier album « Sexy Beau » (Pathé Marconi) et des titres comme « Les Fils de l’acier » et « C’est si facile », il se constitue un public fidèle et tourne avec U2, Talking Heads, Scorpions, INXS, etc. Le single « Unisex »  s’invite dans les Charts et lui ouvre une fenêtre sur l’international. A la fin de Mistral, il a le plaisir de collaborer avec PRINCE, durant trois mois, pour le tournage d’« Under The Cherry Moon ». Une expérience Musicale et Cinématographique ave le Prince de la POP ! C’est à Londres, ensuite, qu’il forme Ménage à Trois (deux hommes et une machine, New Wave) ; Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, partout en Europe.
