Chosen Family

Chosen Family (Love is Thicker Than Blood)

"New planet" compares meeting someone new with discovering a new planet. 

Wreckage on a bank of stars
caught my eye in endless space
a random chance, a fleeting glance,
I found you.
A new, green planet
I'll plant my flag in you
in fertile soil, to seed our future
Time and space open wide
you and me, take a ride,
Cosmic winds fill our sails
take us on an endless trail
past broken Universes.
Love's a journey, an adventure,
stars light our way,
[Chorus]
all you have to do is say, “Yes!”
just say, “Yes, yes, yes!”
all you have to do is say, “Yes!”
just say, “Yes!”


New Planet

"Don't turn back" tells humankind to make progress through space exploration and 'don't turn back'! It's a rock ballad.

[Verse 1]
Black monoliths cast shadows,
Intellect, alive,  
evolves deep into the night,
signals search to find the source
Signals sent, source unknown,
life on planets, signals show 
mission launched, we set out,
Exploring endless space.
[Verse 2]
Discovery, embrace the stars 
In boundless voids of endless space.
hominids map the skies,
Mystery clouds curious minds.
Encounters vast and true,
lead to each progress new
We ascend transformed
To where dreams and stars are born.
[Verse 3]
Discovery, embrace the stars 
life on planets, next stop Mars 
hominids map the skies,
learn to walk, learn to fly.
Cosmic whispers, Fate's command,
Transcendence reaches for our hand.
Universe, our final quest,
A voyage of the bravest blessed.

[Chorus] 
Don't turn back!
Don't turn back!
Don't turn back!

Don't turn back

Bucket List

This "Ménage à trois" is a dysfunctional relationship between three people that simply doesn't work. But it's amusing! Célestine is in love with Antoine, but Antoine is in love with Claire, and Claire is in love with Célestine. So, the song is a story about a failed threesome.

Célestine's in love 
Antoine don't care
It's breakin' her heart
Coz Antoine loves Claire
But Antoine don't know
that Claire has dreams
of layin in the arms
of sweet Célestine!
[Verse 1]
Moonlight on the Bayou
falls from the sky
lights up Antoine
as he passes by
with roses and candies
to lay at the door
of the girl in love
with the girl he ignores.
[Verse 2]
This tragic trio
believe one day
patience will win
aided by prayer
but Life plays an ace
you would not believe
an ace you won't find
up anyone's sleeve.
[Verse 3]
Days turn to years
dreams end in tears
Antoine grows fat
and Célestine can't 
believe her beau
is crushin' the scales.
Claire lives alone
with a million regrets
and an unopened box
of Candy Florets.

Menage a trois

"Take a break" advises us to put our own health and well-being first. Put the pressures of life to one side, from time to time. 

Feelin' swamped
overwhelmed
Nothin' works
nothin' gels
Sit back, relax,
chill to the max
[Chorus]
Take a break, (ooh-ooh)
Take a break, (ooh-ooh)
switch off, drop out,
find a place to hang out
alone!

Background chatter
bout stuff 
doesn't matter
Media rumours
bout the end of the world
and the cost of livin',
can't pay your bills.

[Chorus]

Press 'reset'
step outta the race
you'll collapse in a heap
if you keep this pace
It's YOU who matters
not other stuff
that jangles nerves
we've all had enough

[Coda] 
Switch off, drop out,
what's this nonsense all about?
Switch off, drop out,
what's this nonsense all about? 

Take A Break

This is a deep, heartfelt pop country song, reflecting on the ups and downs, love, heartbreak, lessons learned, and dreams still chasing.

I Know You Think He's Gonna Be Great

"My body double tells me" Proxy relationships, especially Android type relationships, stand a good chance of failure. This humorous 'cowboy' song explains why!

My body double tells me
you don't love me no more
I lie and I'm deceitful
you been keepin' the score
My body double tells me
I'm rotten to the core!
Guess I been lazy
watch TV all day,
An' when I meet someone
I've nothin' much to say.
Says he's gonna find, 
somebody new
someone photogenic
not so schizophrenic
leastways not so crazy
as a girl like you.
Might come as a shock
that my robo-avatar
spends less time than me
drinkin' at the bar.
Divorce and stress
has made him, I confess,
cautious, kinda wary,
made women kinda scary.
I like livin' in my skin
with a double for insurance
relationships ask too much
I'm tired, got no endurance.

[Chorus]
My body double tells me
I oughta get out more
the world ain't half as bad
as a locked up liquor store
He tells me all I need is love
And that he quits, coz he can't take,
livin' life as me no more!


Don't turn back
