Yellow Dreams(Full Album)

ABSYNTHE MINDED is considered one of the most interesting Belgian rock bands. But describing them as such does not fully convey the artists' versatility and ambitions. Absynthe Minded started as a one-man band formed by Bert Ostyn, the vocalist and guitarist who was successively joined by other musicians. The line-up now includes a drummer, keyboard player and bassist. The band members experiment with various instruments, sounds and genres combining rock with elements of jazz and pop to achieve an offbeat and very melodic sound. They say that they are trying to find their own pathway as a band and to make their playing authentic. The group is very popular in their native Belgium, in the Netherlands and in France. For their latest album they collaborated with the producer Jean Lamoot (Noir Désir).

Envoi

Abe Vigoda - Repeating Angel

I was walking down the street
leaving the club alone
You were standing by yourself
like you were left on your own

I could see behind your eyes
a lack of tenderness
so I decided to play the angel
And listen to the things you said

My little boy 
we will have to hide
This world is not good enough
for the feelings we have inside

My little boy 
this world does not deserve the truth
They always want a perfect lie 
instead of the best of you

You invited me to your house
like it was your favourite game
drinking wine, kissing and laughing
throwing poems away

Orange lights and yellow shadows
rising just like flames
I was listening to your voice
when the walls came tumbling in

My little boy 
we will have to hide
This world is not good enough
for the feelings we have inside

My little boy 
this world does not deserve the truth
They always want a perfect lie 
instead of the best of you

My little boy...
My little boy...
My little boy...

My Little Boy

The land of love

I've been living in a cloudy day 
Waiting for the sun to shine
Walking through the darkness 
Always seeking for the light

I could move to another place
And pretend that I'm blind
But I've chosen the shadows 
With my eyes wide open 
and a smile on my face

I believe in the land of love
It's a place for everyone 
who is searching for the sun
dancing till the night is gone

I don't know the reason 
Why the sun refuses to shine
Maybe in the shadows 
I will find my peace of mind

I could stand still in the crowd
stuck, waiting for a sign
But I've chosen the longest walk
With my eyes wide open 
and a smile on my face

I believe in the land of love
It's a place for everyone
who is searching for the sun
dancing till the night is gone

The Shadow

I see your shadow
Like a cat in the dark
I see your shadow
It's nude in the night
I see your shadow
Like a bird of prey
I see your shadow
It's changing its shape

Feels like heaven
When we play this game
You're my shadow
And I walk away

Your shadow
Follows you all the way
Your shadow
Runs again and again
Your shadow
After you on the streets
Your shadow
is the shadow of me

Feels like heaven
When we play this game
You're my shadow
And I walk away

The Shadow

I'm waiting for you today, but you won't come
You are so far away and I don't know...
I'll cry and cry in vain, but I will try to be ok
I'm waiting for you today, but you won't come

Please don't leave me alone
I don't want to feel the cold

I wonder how you feel and all my hope is gone
I couldn't sleep for hours...
Now I know that I love you...
A sudden sense of pain...
Girl, it's driving me insane...
I wonder how you feel and all my hope is gone

Please don't leave me alone
I don't want to feel the cold

And I've got this obsession...
All these dreams of you...
I'll probably forget all the things I wanna do
I'm yearning for you, baby... for so long...
And waiting for you today but you won't come

Please don't leave me alone
I don't want to feel the cold

The Cold

Apples is the second song of Efterklang´s 4th album Piramida. Released September 24th 2012 on 4AD and Rumraket.

Pre-Order of vinyl & CD available via http://www.efterklang.net 
Concert Tour Schedule available at http://www.efterklang.net/home/concerts

As previously revealed (http://youtu.be/uiKK7ehFYtA), last summer Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen and Rasmus Stolberg visited Piramida, an abandoned mining settlement located on Spitsbergen, just 1,000km from the North Pole. Nine days of exploring later, and the band had collected over 1,000 sound recordings and inspiration for the album they would subsequently write and record in Berlin.

Efterklang - Apples

The floor was wet and the girl was waiting 
She was so sick and her father was so late
I spent many nights dreaming of this moment
The floor was wet and the girl was so sick 

When I'm looking at your face
I'm looking at myself
Your eyes will never lie
You have someone else

The weather was so hot and the movie is the same
The girl calling my name, like a love without shame
We fell down on the floor, but her body was so far
The girl was never there, I was dreaming on my bed

When I'm looking at your face
I'm looking at myself
Your eyes will never lie
You have someone else

The Girl

Rennie Foster - Devil's Water (Reprise)

Right above the stars... 
Jupiter and Mars... 
A mistery beyond life and death 
 
Faster than the speed of light 
Passing through the horizon 
where time begins to crawl backwards again 
 
With the sound of the thunder 
Bend the space and go further...
 
Beings of light 
drifting in the dark 
The monolith will drive us home again 
Believing is denying 
wisdom is an illusion
when you can see the pale blue dot from there

Diving deeper in the sky... 
Quasars and comets... 
Breathing, the Universe expands... 
 
Galaxies are shining bright 
Attraction and repulsion 
The energy that spreads life everywhere 
 
With the sound of the thunder 
Bend the space and go further...
 
Beings of light 
drifting in the dark 
The monolith will drive us home again 
Believing is denying 
wisdom is an illusion
when you can see the pale blue dot from there

Going home...

Going Home

Jaga Jazzist - 'One-Armed Bandit' (Live With Britten Sinfonia)

Currently my goal is to release the songs I compose in the best way I can at the moment, voice and guitar, in a "do it yourself" way. 
They will be part of a new album.
In my first album "Yellow Dreams" the songs vary between different electronic styles, produced with Zynewave free software on the notebook and with vocals recorded in the studio.
I also put here some work from the past...
