DEEWEE045 ‘Bear With Me (and I'll stand bare before you)’ is out now
Listen – http://charlotteadigery.lnk.to/bearwithme 

Taken from 'Foundations' (DEEWEE050), the first DEEWEE compilation album is out 7 May. 
Pre-order – http://deewee.lnk.to/foundationsyo​

“Bear With Me…” is about both isolation and connection. A beautiful statement of life
in this strangest of eras, its fractured disco production and soul-baring lyrics, conceived
and created by the Caribbean-Belgian artist with partner Bolis Pupul in lockdown, speak
of the intimacy and vulnerability of confinement. “Bolis and I are storytellers, writing
observational tales about the strange world we all inhabit.” says Adigéry, “Bolis and I are making a time capsule, writing songs that tell the story of life in 2020. We believe 2020 has been such a cornerstone for the 21st century. This song is about being confined thus confronted to the way we live. The cruel irony of having theprivilege of standing still, questioning and observing my life in all safety while others are fighting for theirs. ‘They say there’s dolphins in Venice’ is a symbol for the times we live in. An internet hoax that gave people hope. A naïve hope for a utopian future, now that we’re all locked in our homes. A sign that we are all aware of the negative impact we have on the planet but still seem to remain paralyzed. On the other hand the song is about not being able to run away from yourself and being confronted with your relationship to yourself and others. Not hovering from one busy schedule to another, never looking back."

Bear With Me (and I'll stand bare before you)

Nothing at all

Another AI version of a song I wrote back in the latter 1990s.  When I was in a band it was recorded as an instrumental.  The music I actually created before the lyrics and the music inspired the words I wrote.  I added my vocals about 20 years later.  

Scene On The Stream  (0241)  ft. SUNO

stream/download 'Figure It Out' now: https://orcd.co/orla-figureitout

lyrics:

I know I never said it
But I thought that you’d figure it out

I see your name light up on my phone
I feel a little differently about you than I did not long ago

You drank too much beer and you got afraid
You don’t remember typing in my number
I say it’s okay
It’s not okay

Next new year’s eve I’ll see you there
We’ll rotate around the room on different planets
I say I don’t’ care
But I care

And I never say it but I fucking hate it
You ask if I mind
Then you’re right there and it’s not fair

I
I know I never said it
But I thought that you’d figure it out
I
Don’t have the heart to break it
So I’m hoping you’ll figure it

Out with our friends I’m speaking in codes
You know everything there is to know about me
It’s hard to let go when you don’t let go

And I heard that you’ve been doing fine
And renting my old room and I 
Hope you don’t resent me for the way that I’ve been dealing with it
I’m not dealing with it well

And I can’t explain it
I’m more than just jaded
You ask if I mind
Then you’re right there and it’s not fair

I
I know I never said it
But I thought that you’d figure it out
I
Don’t have the heart to break it
So I’m hoping you’ll figure it out

I know I never said it
But I thought that you’d figure it out
Don’t have the heart to break it
So I’m hoping you’ll figure it out

It’s not hard to read my mind
When I’m making it so obvious
So I’m hoping you’ll figure it out
It’s not hard to read my mind
When I’m making it so obvious
So I’m hoping you’ll figure it out

It’s not hard to read my mind
When I’m making it so obvious
