‘Riders On The Dike’ features the vocals of UK singer/songwriter Amanda Kim Sanderson. Thank you for your friendship and the way you rock the track Amanda! :) It is such a pleasure to work with you and we are mighty proud that you joined us for this song!

The cover artwork comes from an original idea from the New York Artist Louis Renzoni, who said something like that Para Lia uses the same colors like he does - so the idea of a collaboration was born. Louis artwork runs throughout the album where the artists’ work features more extensively with both featuring in an online virtual music/art exhibition:

Thank you @mrcagey @three-photons @andrew-borderick @subjecttorevision @terrywigmore @fadysporz for your feedback on the mastered stuff!

follow me, we're on the way
to make more out of today
and when we fail we change course
milestones won't move
but our creeping paths are pretty cool
we're the today's soft option fools
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
hand me over my fate
and stay with me along the way
if you come around i am okay
i don't know if it's too late
i don't know how long we'll stay
the idea is to go higher
fly over by my side
with curiosity in mind
we are on the loose
we are the riders on the dike
the riders on the dike

Riders On The Dike (Feat. Amanda Kim Sanderson)

Bandcamp

When I stumbled across Ren and heard her incredible voice, I knew straight away that I really wanted to write a song for her. 'Safe' is the result. Ren's thoughtful lyrics paint a poignant picture of a difficult situation, in which one is trapped and desperate to leave, in the hope that they can feel safe again.

You can contact her at https://soundcloud.com/renfaye-1

Lyrics are below:

I know...you are near...when the lights go...out...

I can't, think straight
When I'm next to you,
I'm out of place,
When your words cut through
Like glass, I'm little tiny pieces in the mirror,
Shrink myself now
Pretend that I'm not here
Printer ink run out...

I can't breathe right,
Like I did before,
Losing my fight,
Stays behind closed doors...

And all,
All I can hear...
Is the raised-voice sound
I know, that you are near...

To, feel safe (All I ever wanted)
Safe, from you... (and the rasied-voice sound)
Safe,
All I've ever wanted
To feel safe from you...

And I try and I try but there's no escape,
In my sleep I crash down wild-awake
Visualising, of a time when
I can be free

As I exhale,
Into the cold air,
Open my eyes,
You won't find me there
And all, all I can hear...
Is the raised-voice sound
I know,
That you are near,
When the lights go out...

...and the raised-voice sound
(ooh...ahhh)
When the lights go...
Safe,
All I've ever wanted to feel,
Safe,
From you.
Take,
there is nothing much left.
That I can,
Take,
With me.

Ah...ah...
Oooh...ooh
Ahh...Ahh
Ahh...ahh..ahh

Safe,
All I've ever wanted,
To feel
Safe,
From me...
Safe,
There is nothing much left
That I can take,
With me

Ahh...

I know that...
You are near...
When the lights...
Go...

Out...

Let the sunshine shine like before 
Before the rain came calling at our door

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel 
Me myself and I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see 
Me myself and I 
Only me

Don't you wake me tomorrow 
Don't you wake me today 
Let me sleep off this sorrow 
Make the world go away
Let the sunshine shine like before 
Before the rain came calling at our door

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel 
Me myself and I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see
 Me myself and I 
Only me

Let me tell you a secret
 Let me tell you a lie 
Here's my love you can keep it
 If you think we should try
Let the sunshine shine like before
Let the sun shine
 Before the rain came calling at our door
Let the sun shine in

Me myself and I 
Only we know how we feel
 Me myself I 
Were so surreal 
Me myself and I 
Only we see what we see
 Me myself and I 
Let it Be

Open the window and let the sun shine in ; )

Me MYself And I  (Patersongs/Conover)

This song is part of a series of songs about an imaginary place : The Horizon Gate.
I made two other darker songs three years ago. But I wanted to go to the bright side.

This one is about a character named Lana.
She is the last guardien of the Gate. She is brave, very powerful but is humble and has a good heart.
This last fight is her last test before her Ascension or her Fall.

It's a simple song, no complex stuff. But I really like this song so I think I'll use some of the themes in other songs.

I hope you'll like it. Thanks a lot for your listening 🙏.
I hope you are all well and I wish you the best. Stay safe 💖.

I used the following virtual instruments :
- Alex Pfeffer : "Polyvoc Station" and "The Sansula"
- KV331 : Synthmaster One and Synthmaster 2.9
- Impact Soundwork : Shreddage 3 Stratus
- Heavyocity : Damage

Ascension

Dear friends, after this long absence on social networks, I am happy to present this new track to you. A collaboration with a young singer with a golden voice, Junior Paes! 🎤

It was while surfing the looperman site that I discovered his accapellas, so successful and with positive vibrations. Immediately under the spell, I decided to create an instrumental in order to grant this famous accapella entitled "Come on with me". Many thanks to Junior Paes for allowing me to use his voice. I hope you enjoy!

Chers amis, après cette longue absence sur les réseaux sociaux, je suis heureux de vous présenter cette nouvelle piste. Une collaboration avec un jeune chanteur à la voix d'or, Junior Paes!
C'est en surfant sur le site looperman que j'ai découvert ses accapellas tellement réussis et aux positives vibrations. Immédiatement sous le charme, je décidais de créer un instrumental afin d'accorder ce fameux accapella intitulé "Come on with me". Un grand merci à Junior Paes de m'avoir permis d'utiliser sa voix. J'espère que vous apprécierez!

Come On With Me (vocal & lyrics by Junior Paes / see the description for more)

My soul is blooming
Finally I'm through pain
Know what I'm doing
Never looking for a gain

Just like Kid Cudi
Grooving to my own drum 
Don't call me naughty 
Boy, for me you are too glum

Focus
Don't sleep
My dreams are reality 

Focus
Dive in
Life's raging sea

Merci à mon ami Tulipe de m'avoir associée à cet excellent morceau !
Thanks to my friend Tulipe for involving me in this excellent piece!

Texte / Lyrics : Fati Zahra 
Voix-off / voice-over : Dominique Briand
Musique et chant / Music and singing : Tulipe (@tulipe-records)

Paroles / lyrics

Bon !
Si cette fois ça ne marche pas entre nous, je te quitte !
J'irai tellement loin que tu ne pourras me revoir !
OK !

Tu as tout gâché, gâché nos bons moments.
C'est ta dernière chance, ta dernière chance
Last chance tu comprends !


I still want you in my life
So be careful this time
I'm giving you this chance
I'm looking for the peace
We will see
We will see

If you deserve my forgiveness
Stop playing with fire
I'm watching you now
Together let's go
This is your challenge
To delete your bad image

I'm warning you
I'm warning you
I give you my trust again
Avoid letting me down avoid letting me down

I'm warning you
I'm warning you
Oooooo this is your challenge
To delete your bad image
To delete your baaad image
Oh yeaaaaah
 Tu as tout gâché
Another chance….

Another Chance (original Tulipe - Ft Dominique Briand)

God damn, you're so cold / Everyone that you touch
Well they just freeze, freeze
A heart of stone / Molten by the devil 
Your hatred made them leave, leave
Rebel souls, come my way / Stranglehold
It the motion of the world falling down
Crumble to the ground again, to the ground it ends
Expectations of a life full of love
Everything has died inside / To the hell, divide
See your colors fade / Hazy like the gray in your eyes
Yeah, you have changed, changed
Never sane / The chemical imbalance in your mind
Made you hate, hate
Rebel souls, come my way / Stranglehold
It the motion of the world falling down
Crumble to the ground again, to the ground it ends
Expectations of a life full of love
Everything has died inside / To the hell, divide

Stranglehold

Just listen to Paul's bass burble, bubble, bop and bark through this!
