so cool i fucking love it keep up the good work so powerful

Sincere lyrics there Phil against a sort of Pet shop boys feel - or so it seems to me.  Good beaty background too.

PRIMEROS PASOS

Un tambaleo y tus ojitos son
unos luceros buscando protección
y también un mundo bajo tus pies.

Manitas altas y un nuevo tropezón
en una danza sin red y sin guión
que te da suelo y cielo a la vez.

Estribillo

Primeros pasos para mi sol
tu primavera, tu despertar
allí estaré si quiero verte brillar.

Primeros pasos ¡qué ilusión!
si tienes dudas vigilaré
me ocuparé de mantenerte en pie.

----------------------

Te caes, ries y vuelves a empezar
en cada paso se ve la decisión
de seguir con valor y tesón.

Estribillo

Primeros pasos, pura ternura,
así comienza la gran aventura…

FIRST STEPS

A wobble and your little eyes are
stars seeking protection
and also a world beneath your feet.

High hands and a new stumble
in a dance without a net and without a script
that gives you ground and sky at the same time.

Chorus

First steps for my sun
your spring, your awakening
I'll be there if I want to see you shine.

First steps, what an illusion!
if you have doubts, I'll watch
and I'll make sure you stay on your feet.

----------------------

You fall, laugh, and start again
in every step you see the decision
to continue with courage and determination.

Chorus

First steps, pure tenderness,
thus begins the great adventure...

Ce texte qui s'inscrit dans le mouvement Metoo (qui n'est pas mi-rien) est un hymne déclaré à l'indépendance des femmes. La musique de Denis Caouette, un peu rock, est allégée par des vents qui rappellent les belles années du groupe Chicago.

This song, which is part of the MeToo movement (which is no small thing), is a declaration of women's independence. Denis Caouette's slightly rock-inspired music is lightened by wind instruments reminiscent of the glory days of the band Chicago.

SI TU VEUX SAVOIR
A Dominique Briand

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Suis les saisons, suis la rivière
Qui chante et danse dans son lit
Se riant des vaines colères

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Essaie de suivre ce nuage
Qui a toujours la même envie
De caresser des paysages

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Écoute le vent de la mer
Gonflant les voiles de ma vie
Pour une école buissonnière

 Refrain : On n’emprisonne pas le vent
Venant de l’ouest ou du levant
J’ai toujours été arrimée
Aux ailes de la liberté

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Regarde encore dans ton miroir
Pour y retrouver l’utopie
Le cœur ardent de mon espoir

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Il te faudra de la patience
Car jamais mon cœur ne frémit
Pour ceux qui manquent d’élégance
  
Refrain : On n’emprisonne pas le vent
Venant de l’ouest ou du levant
J’ai toujours été arrimée
Aux ailes de la liberté… (ter)        
(SOLO)

Si tu veux savoir qui je suis
Écoute le vent de la mer
Gonflant les voiles de ma vie
Pour une école buissonnière

Refrain final : Maintenant tu sais qui je suis
Comme un bateau mi-eau, mi-air
Plein de rêves inassouvis
Mais qu’aucun port ne pourra taire
Nannanananananana !

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
To Dominique Briand

If you want to know who I am
Follow the seasons, follow the river
That sings and dances in its bed
Laughing at vain anger

If you want to know who I am
Try to follow that cloud
That always has the same desire
To caress the landscape

If you want to know who I am
Listen to the sea wind
Filling the sails of my life
For a day of playing hooky

Chorus: You can't imprison the wind
Coming from the west or the east
I've always been tied
To the wings of freedom

If you want to know who I am
Look again in your mirror
To find utopia
The burning heart of my hope

If you want to know who I am
You will need patience
For my heart never flutters
For those who lack elegance
  
Chorus: You cannot imprison the wind
Coming from the west or the east
I have always been tied
To the wings of freedom... (ter)        
(SOLO)

If you want to know who I am
Listen to the sea wind
Filling the sails of my life
For a day of playing hooky

Final chorus: Now you know who I am
Like a boat half in the water, half in the air
Full of unfulfilled dreams
But no port can silence them
Nannanananananana!

Si tu veux savoir

Lyrics:  
Enveloped in the gentle waves
Evening air, a little taste
Sweet scent, getting to the flower in me
Don't misinterpret, there's no wrong intent
I'm just inhaling the incense of desire

Melted gold, murky lighting, enhancing beauty
Senses alert, don't let it stop, sensuous lips
Don't condemn me, there's no bad intent
I'm just inhaling the incense of lust

My solitude when night sets in
Enflames my mind
Comforting blaze
Don't ever change
Time standing still
I'm just inhaling the incense of love

Lyrics

Keep Believing

Believe in yourself and stand your ground 
Don’t let them break you ignore the sound
They’ll try to shake you twist your spine 
But just keep believing the future is fine

Keep your opinions don’t give in 
Hold the flame inside you and let the fight begin 
You’re going to win this you’ll pass the test 
They’ll end up coming off second best

Your anger might howl your resolve might break 
But you’ll face their lies and you won’t shake 

Your belief in yourself will help you walk with pride 
Not one of them’s a match for what’s inside
Your belief in yourself will help you walk with pride 
Not one of them’s a match for what’s inside

They’ll throw the stones but you won’t fall 
Just keep believing and stand up tall 
Keep your opinions and don’t give in 
Hold the flame inside you let the fight begin 
You’re going to win this you’ll pass the test 
They’ll end up coming off second best

They’ll try to scar you in every way
But keep your belief and do not sway
You’re in the right and they’re in the wrong
They can only lose when you’re so strong

Your belief in yourself will help you walk with pride 
Not one of them’s a match for what’s inside
Your belief in yourself will help you walk with pride 
Not one of them’s a match for what’s inside

Lyrics by Phil Hawker


Keep Believing

I have always loved music. I learnt piano as a child and have dabbled with guitar without ever learning it ... until now! I have been in choirs most of my life but have not really delved into making music until the last few years. After initially playing around with Garage Band, I moved on to Logic Pro and that's how nearly all of my music has been produced.

I use digital software, guitar and keyboards to produce my original music. I compose and edit using Logic Pro. Other people's vocals or collaborative vocals for any track really are very welcome! 

I love the interaction on Soundcloud and the comments from other musicians and composers are so helpful and supportive. Keep making music everyone!
