En attendant... - L'attesa

Check it over
Front to back
While I make some final changes to my
Angle of attack
If you stand right next to me
We could bribe the maître d
And I need you here 
Dear Marie

Check it over
Look inside
There’s a fire in the stove and
There’s a place that we could hide
Pass the bucket up to me
And I will fill the place with steam
But I need you here
Dear Marie

If I showed up unattended
And were I to leave the same
It could lead to speculation on
The reason that I came. 
So to stay above suspicion
That there’s something wrong with me
I need you here
Dear Marie

Check it over
Up and down
There’s a lake out in the woods
Where people sometimes go to drown
We could both go in together
Just to see how it would be
And I need you here
Dear Marie

Gather round
the wishing tree
space givers and
stage divers...

Black cloud 
with silver lining
whatever your plan, 
there's no no fool proof timing

Plan B is  - Just in case
If all goes haywire, get back to base


I see what you're looking at
While winging the quarantine
Like a hermit in long gone days
pacing up & down this tiny space

Sip the wine, bind your time
just a walk could be a crime
Persistant we all must be
Until we're finally free

Plan B is  - a safety net
if things get hectic, hedge your bet

solo

Plan B is a great escape
Situation is not yet shipshape.

Masks and screens
Sprays & mace
When again
can we show our face?

Plain sailing (if all goes well)
No failing (but who can tell)

Plan B is  - Just in case

Plan B (just in case)

Evenings Twilight Dawn

I've always enjoyed songs with unreliable narrators. I think there's an element of that to this one; singing about looking ahead to the future while still obviously pining for the past. Though as the song progresses, the lyrics become more candid.

Tipp (feat. Lars Karge)

I recently bought a fretless guitar.  I have been experimenting with how to play this guitar in my songs.  I chose a fairly simple riff to highlight the note sliding of the fretless.  This song starts in the key of A Minor.  Then, in the middle, switches to B Minor.  The end is a series of half step moves back to an A Minor.

This tune is meant to be a meditation about the results of the so-called “Arab Spring”, or possibly about some of the relationships going on between the "Third World" and Western countries...
