Great opening to a lovely inventive track, Philippe.

Hi! I added this track to Piano Gems playlist ❤️

Je la réécoute tellement votre compo est captivante j'adore bravo pour votre travail !!

Lyrics:

As the rain dries 
on the windowpane 
you notice how everything
around you has changed 
hardly anything 
that reminds you of the past
 
Why stay when your name is already called?  
why cling when the wind is pulling you away? 
why wait when you've found another trace?

It was lovely under the tree 
but now the leaves have fallen and I move on 
I use my lens to find the trace
that leads me away from here into the valley 

Why stay when your name is already called ? 
why cling when the wind is pulling you away? 
why wait when you have found another trace?

Move on, move on 
you found another trace 

Why stay
why cling
why wait

A Trace To Keep Control

A Lens To Find The Trace

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)

Give me fresh coffee beans, and….. I’ll wake up feeling fine
Until I’m fed through The Daily Grind
It sure seems good while it’s churning away
But, I’m all ground up at the end of the day
Oh, I got a tune in my head that’s searching for words
Searching for something that’s never been heard
Pebbles in a quarry all mixed into a load
Smashed into gravel and used to build a road
(Chorus)
Change in my pocket and nothing but time
I’m working my way through The Daily Grind
Oooh.....Sometimes, I swear….that I’m losing my mind
‘Cuz, I’m so worn from The Grind
Oh, and I’m so worn from The Grind
Put some coffee on to start my day
Don’t want to work, just hang out and play
Sometimes, I swear that I’m losing my mind
Want more from life than The Daily Grind
Cuz’ I’m so tired of The Grind
(Repeat Chorus and Out)

LA PEAU CRAQUE ET SE CRAQUELLE COMME LE LIMON DU NIL
CATASTROPHE NATURELLE RAYURES SUR LE VINYLE

J'ÉTAIS JEUNE J'ÉTAIS BELLE MAIS LE TEMPS CET IMBÉCILE
M'A FAITE VIEILLE HARIDELLE ESPÈCE DE FOSSILE

LE TEMPS PASSE ET LAPALISSE EN AURAIT DIT AUTANT
IL FROISSE TOUT C'QUI ÉTAIT LISSE ET MOI J'EN VEUX AU TEMPS

J'ÉTAIS JEUNE J'ÉTAIS ARTISTE MAIS LE TRAVAIL DES ANS
M'A SALOPÉ MON ESQUISSE ET M'A FOUTU DEDANS

"And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet"

- TS Eliot, The Love-Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

Once in a while I can coax Keith to put his talents toward  a ballad, and this is one of those infrequent endeavours.
Keith is a rocker at heart, while I tend to the contemplative and ambient slice of life and music. We compromise often. This time, Keith sensed his way through the lightness of the music. Though piano is the main source of movement and texture, there is a Native Instruments "Irish harp" VSTi in here too.
A mellow summer? Time to catch up on some summer reading? Here's a bookmark.

You found me in a barren land
And turned it all verdant green
I think it was page seventeen
You are the bookmark…on the page that I have lost
You are the bookmark…on the page that I have lost
Forever
Well riddles will come and riddles will go
Like the riddle of the Snark
To drive you mad…to drive you quite mad
You are the bookmark…for the page 
You are the bookmark…for the page
(INST)  …for the page
(You’re my bookmark)
This is the place
You’re my save point
You’re my bookmark
Pages that held us both together… to hold us… now…
Tears us both apart
Tears us both apart

Standing Light (Blue Mix) - Event 49 + WBE

Remember those awkward days of our youth? A sort of wasteland of not-quite-adult but not a kid? Testing out style, language, gestures, attitude, hair styles, likes and dislikes, romances, tongue-tied moments of embarrassment. All of these years eventually sorted itself out and we headed out into adulthood, with  more or less determination to be successful. Or was that a fear of being unsuccessful that guided us? Tumultuous times. Awkward.

Lyrics:
The Awkward Squad

    Why don’t you mind your business? Like I mind mine
    Why dontcha get ya finger out? And tap it in time
    Why do you throw a tantrum? And huff and puff away
    And when you’re outa your depth…you simply sail away!

    Who-hoo-hoo…The awkward squad (x2)

    I don’t like to look at you…You make me feel quite queer
    You make me feel uncomfortable… When you sat “Hello       dear”
    I don’t like your haircut…Don’t like your clothes
    Don’t like the way, a dew-drop hangs off your… nose!
    Awk, Awk...The awkward squad

    Awk, Awk…You’re in the awkward squad (x2)

    I dance just like a donkey…A donkey with three legs
    I never look you in the eye…Because it makes me …blush
    I st/st/st/stumble over all my words…Forever full of              shame
    And now I come to look at you…I know you’re just the          same!
    Awkward…The awkward squad

    Awkward…I’m in the awkward squad (x2)
