"There was a singer from the island of La Reunion by the name of Alain Peters who died several years ago who a really unique singer/songwriter and poet of the Creole language. I was invited to play in la Reunion last year for which I learned one of his songs called 'Mange pour le Ker' 
Somehow that trip and singing in Creole gave me the confidence to try and write in French. The beauty of the Creole from La Reunion was a huge catalyst for me and the manner in which the French language is appropriated, transformed, a big inspiration.
I moved out of London ten years ago to go and live in France.
For years I didn't want to write to because I felt like one should master a language before writing with it but then after that trip, the words came to me. 
I wanted “Reste La Marée" to sound like an old traditional. I made a very ornate, old fashioned melody to carry the particular balance and sound of French words. This love song uses the tide as a metaphor for the love that comes and goes. It's about the tide that takes you in, the tide that takes you away, the waves that bring you closer to the shore, before sweeping you out to sea."

Lyrics "Reste la marée":

Nos coeurs battent au rythme de la marée
Reste la marée reste la marée
Nos rêves percent le voile et je me tais
Reste la mariée reste à marier

Mes pas perdent le sens du sentier
Reste à trouver reste à trouver 
Mes mains touchent l'eau de la rosée
Laisse la rosée laisse la rosée

La quête s'efface au pas des années
Reste des années reste des années   
Tes lèvres m'effleurent ma bien aimée
Ma bien aimée ma bien aimée

Les feuilles tombent et je m'en vais
Reste je m'en vais reste je m'en vais
Les saisons passent je reviendrai
Reste la marée reste la marée

Tes lèvres m'effleurent ma bien aimée
Ma bien aimée ma bien aimée
Les saisons passent je reviendrai
Reste la marée reste la marée

a demo, as you could probably ascertain

Do you think about the number?
You’re a dominating woman
The fear in men who graduated from piling dead ill murdered maidens
Springs back to you

Think about the number
Cause she’s a vigilante woman
You’re fearing when her graduation from robbing dead and numbered rapists 
Ends all with you

You shouldn’t have to fear him
Cause baby, you’re the taxman
You’re healing all her wounds
When you rob and shoot the next man

You shouldn’t run away, sir 
Cause Sadie is a madman 
You’re meeting all her rules, here
For you to sear in hell, dad

sadie, the taxman (demo)

Cover #21 from the series "Songs I Love" by Piers Faccini
Free download: http://www.unlock.fm/10h

Since I first started up Songs I Love, the series has been a way for me to share songs with some of the different friends and artists that I play with.  So last summer while recording Jenny Lysander's album Northern Folk, we also found the time late one August evening, to record a cover for the ongoing Volume II of the series. 
Nottamun Town is an old English folk song that I first discovered on Fairport Convention's 1969 album 'What we did on our holidays', their version was sung by the great Sandy Denny. Between takes recording Jenny's album, we'd spend a lot of the down time listening to music. I love playing records for friends and seeing the excitement on their faces as they discover new music. I played Jenny some of my favorite singers like Anne Briggs, June Tabor or Joni Mitchell. 
Listening to Nottamun Town, some of you may be reminded of Bob Dylan and he used the same melody for his song Masters of War. There's a trance like cadence to the strange and original lyrics in Nottamun Town and Dylan used this relentless and hypnotic rhythm to great effect in his timeless anti-war anthem. According to various sources the original song dates back to medieval times and there's a theory that the surreal nature of the text relates to the traditional day The Feast of Fools, during which time which power was briefly conferred on those in a subordinate position. On this day, the fool took his revenge, the servant beat his master and the cat chased the hounds! So for the full sensory experience as you listen to this song, picture a Hieronymous Bosch painting in your mind and enjoy!

"Met the King and the Queen and the company more
Came a riding behind and a walking before
Come a stark naked drummer -a beating a drum
With his heels in his bosom come marching along"

I started out as a painter writing music on the side and then I ended up writing songs and painting on the sly. If my songs were maps I'd want them to stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the plains of the Mediterrannean.
Most of the time, I release my music on my own label Beating Drum.
I've collaborated with many wonderful artists and musicians over the years, amongst them, Vincent Segal, Ballake Sissoko, Ben Harper, Ibrahim Maalouf and Rokia Traore and more.
