PERLE / Debussy Punk nº2                                 (for 2 guitars & 1 bass)

Some new acoustic guitar stuff is under construction, but meanwhile here’s a very different beast, called 'Relentless'. About the relentless assembly line of life.

Relentless

poor bastard it’s on your face
the permanent frown
we’ll give it the coup de grâce
the jolly smack down

in the morning… slip away
on the move… going

cracked windshield don’t block the way
to getting around
start picking the weed bouquet
we’re heading for town

in the morning… steal away
on the move… going

cat mother she wrings her hands
just leave us alone
she never did understand
a house ain’t a home

in the morning… slip away
on the move… going
california… get away
gonna move… going

last round up around this place
you dig up the bones
raise canvas for anyplace
the skull and crossbones

California Leaving

"Starting Over" (demo v2)

Made and played by me on August 16 and September 12, 2024, using sounds e.g. from Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V and UVI SonicPass (Emulator II, Marcato Strings sound).

Edited a little on September 12, 2024 (changed melody a bit & added and modified some chords, added some chorus etc.). Mastered with Ozone 11 on September 12, 2024.

I'm also working on an instrumentalized version. Also, this song could maybe use some lyrics, and it is still something I have to look into. All comments would be more than welcome, especially regarding the melody (it seems that good melodies are pretty challenging to develop).

As two sources of inspiration here I could name Luis Miguel's versions of the songs "Toda una vida" (by the great Osvaldo Farrés) and "Ese momento" (by the great Armando Manzanero).

Starting Over (v2)

Through The Looking Glass

There was blood...
There was blood on the doorframes 
of the homes that were spared
as the weeping of Egyptian mothers 
was heard through the night. 
Innocents died. 
Mysterious are the ways of the righteous fights.

So strange...
So strange that innocent blood is the price of freedom.
We were told to eat and drink to remember.
And, as I seat at the sacred table, 
I refrain from looking around, searching for the traitor.
It could be me…
It could be me...

Mysterious Are The Ways (based ond Debra Bueskings' "The Sound of Memory" solo piano version)

Elysium

J'ai voulu reprendre cette magnifique chanson de Julien Clerc.
Un classique de la chanson française, probablement inconnu à l'étranger.
La mélodie, les accords, le sens, tout correspond à ce que je cherche à composer moi-même.
Cette version se veut un peu plus dramatique en accord avec le texte 
(translated below)

----
"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"
Me disaient des chiliens, bras ouverts, poings serrés
Comme une langue ancienne
Qu'on voudrait massacrer
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver

Comme la lune fidèle à n'importe quel quartier
Je veux être utile à ceux qui m'ont aimé
À ceux qui m'aimeront
Et à ceux qui m'aimaient
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à chanter

Ah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

Dans n'importe quel quartier d'une lune perdue
Même si les maîtres parlent et qu'on ne m'entend plus
Même si c'est moi qui chante
À n'importe quel coin de rue
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver

Ah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la

"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"
Me disaient des chiliens, bras ouverts, poings serrés
Comme une langue ancienne
Qu'on voudrait massacrer
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à rêver
Comme la lune fidèle à n'importe quel quartier
Je veux être utile à ceux qui m'ont aimé
À ceux qui m'aimeront
Et à ceux qui m'aimaient
Je veux être utile
À vivre et à chanter

"À quoi sert une chanson si elle est désarmée?"

-----
“What good is a song if it's disarmed?”
Chileans said to me, arms open, fists clenched
Like an ancient language
That one would like to massacre
I want to be useful
To live and to dream

Like the moon faithful to any neighborhood
I want to be useful to those who have loved me
To those who will love me
And to those who loved me
I want to be useful
To live and to sing

Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

In any quarter of a lost moon
Even if the masters speak and I'm no longer heard
Even if I'm the one singing
On any street corner
I want to be useful
To live and to dream

Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

“What good is a song if it's disarmed?”
Chileans said to me, arms open, fists clenched
Like an ancient language
That someone would like to massacre
I want to be useful
To live and to dream
Like the moon faithful to any neighborhood
I want to be useful to those who have loved me
To those who will love me
And to those who loved me
I want to be useful
To live and to sing

“What good is a song if it's unarmed?”
