"Je tuerai pour toi" est une incantation passionnelle, un chant d’amour brûlant où désir et révolte s’embrasent.
Zanzara y sculpte une poésie charnelle et rageuse, où l’intimité devient un acte de survie — fragile, sacré, incandescent.
Minimaliste et vibrante, leur musique porte ce texte comme une fièvre douce et tenace, qu’on ne peut — et ne veut — faire taire.

je tuerais pour toi

Act I: The Call & The Walk marks the beginning of the journey in The Burden & The Fire saga. Blending Celtic folk melodies, acoustic textures, and a melancholic yet hopeful atmosphere, this EP captures the emotional weight of leaving home, facing the unknown, and carrying a burden far greater than oneself. Perfect for listeners who appreciate cinematic storytelling.

Wedding Song

[Verse]
The sky is heavy it won’t let me go
Hangs on my shoulders rains on my show
I thought I’d find you by the morning's grace
But all I see is time’s unkind trace

[Verse 2]
The river hums but it don't soothe my pain
The current whispers yet it feels in vain
Each ripple dances like you once did too
But they don't lead me back to you

[Chorus]
It’s a blue day a loner’s parade
Every color fades every light betrayed
If I close my eyes can I find my way
Or will the blue just stay blue day after day

[Verse 3]
The wind keeps calling your name through the trees
But the echoes mock they don’t bring me peace
The paths we walked are now empty and cold
The stories we shared now left untold

[Bridge]
The silence shouts louder than I can sing
The weight of love it’s a haunting thing
But if I let go will I lose your face
Or will it linger in some quiet place

[Chorus]
It’s a blue day a loner’s parade
Every color fades every light betrayed
If I close my eyes can I find my way
Or will the blue just stay blue day after day

I've written my own stuff since I was a kid and have basically chronicled my life, which most songwriters do. I was quite into guitar until I broke my hand fending off an intruder who tried to break into my home. Little finger didn't play fair. So now I'm into synths and keyboards, have built a decent collection including a Moog Matriarch, Prophet 5 Rev4, the Behringer 2600 and 2500 semi-modular, the UDO Super 6 (truly awesome), Novation Peak, Yamaha Modx6 (such a workhorse),  Deepmind 12, Digitakt, Modal Cobalt (surprising and, yes, digital) and the Behringer Crave. They each have their strengths, but the Matriarch is my go to for inspiration. (Update: Super 6 is now the fave)
