Black Dark Humor is a sad poem about the routine of life in a big city like São Paulo. A difficult day in the life of an ordinary Paulistano, facing work and dealing with the chaos of the city. A day when the earth stood still.

Black Dark Humor
Close the door, turn off the light;
The dream has just begun...
Another blinding day of heat,
And burning flames...
Last month hasn’t ended yet;
Time is just a shadow...
Through these hazy days, I agonize,
Then beg for mercy...

Have some pity on me;
I’m both devout and crude.
Sentenced to twenty years
In the penitentiary of boredom...
Now and then I try, at last,
To sigh without a thought...
To drown my feelings deep inside,
Then take off and fly.

It’s six o’clock, the morning’s here,
Yet the rooster never crows...
But my stern, responsible self
Shakes me up to rise again.
The bell tolls, I hide the sky,
A sky that bears no light...
The world still turns, yet somehow,
It stopped spinning for me...

“Who stole Teddy’s cookie jar” short movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix

Teddy loves cookies and jealously guards his recipe for himself. He gets help from a team of tiny bunnies and cats because his fur makes him rather clumsy. However, yesterday’s batch was stolen. Will Teddy and the tiny rabbits and cats team be able to recover the cookie jar? 

“This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. Ho and for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.” 

Music: Syrel
Photography: Syrel, Book Cover (1987)

Musical notes: This theme could have been the main theme of the series “Only Murders in the Building.“ but hey, Siddhartha Khosla did such a wonderful work composing her theme that it would be a sacrilege pretending I could do better. Thanks to Tchaikovsky and Saint-Saëns for their help on mine ;o)

Who stole Teddy's cooky jar

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.” — Antonio Gramsci

allongé sur mon canapé
affalé devant la télé
lassé des pitreries stériles
de Folamours télévisés

à mon tour ! maitre des mondes
disponible et motivé
je suis prêt

allongés sur vos canapés
affalés devant vos télés
regardez, comme c'est facile
mes faux amours télévisés

pour toi, maitre des mondes
suis disponible et motivé
je suis prêt 

 (x2) 
l'allure outrancière 
la machoire batracière
j'opère ma mutation
je suis Syoïse le poisson

tapi dans mon repère 
la mémoire carnassière
avec pour vous déplaire 
vos amours en gibecière

à mon tour, l'être immonde
impavide, désabusé
je suis laid

occupé à fourbir mes armes 
à aiguiser l'acier
avant qu'à l'oeil la larme
vous ne me remerciez

pour toi, maitre des mondes
impavide, désabusé
je suis laid

(x3)
-- amphibien amphibie 
-- affublé de lubies

(x2)
on me  couronne
au son des orgues
Ubu pompeux et confus / Ubu imbu et repu
-- on te couronne
-- au son des orgues
-- Ubu pompeux et confus / Ubu imbu et repu
 
(x2)

j'ai l'arme dévastatrice
j'ai l'ame rédemptice
et l'armée complice
d'un savant fou
savez-vous

-- sauvez-vous
-- sauvez-vous

je marquerai de mon sceau
les planètes rebelles
-- retourne à ton seau
-- et retourne à ta pelle / tu nous caches l'arc en ciel

Just patterns converging and diverging in many subtle ways.

Ok so I decided to leave this as an instrumental for now. I think this final version is the best mix. Feel free to leave a comment.

You call me up
Let's do a movie
You know it's gonna be fun
Now should I go or just say no
"cos I can't stand the pain

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

You knock my door
Say come on out
Why don't we both go to the beach
Lay in the sun
It'll be such fun
But you're still out of reach

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

Instrumental

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

Lyrics:

The girl from Melbourne's crazy
I think about her daily
so won't you be my baby, my dear

I wait until she goes live
to hear my favourite jive
Your voice is a 5/5, my dear

Hedges - Bass and Additional Voices
Norsa - Guitar and Vocals
Willy - Drums

This song was inspired by The Girl From Ipanema. I cite Ty Segull as inspiration for my vocal performance.

The Girl From Melbourne
