Got To Get Home

This is an old song, originally written in 1992 or '93 while on a hitchhiking trip through the Nevada desert from Boise to Tucson Arizona. It took my friend and I eight days on the road to travel about 700 miles. 

The title is a reference to the two of us standing on opposite sides of the highway, willing to take a ride any direction as long as it got us out of there. It's about desperation, resignation, freedom, harassment, and finding beauty in the midst of extremes.

It is an experience I will personally never forget, and I have written the story once before but it was destroyed when a computer crashed and literally caught on fire before I could print it.

In the last few years I have started to try and tackle writing it again, and I stalled out a bit. Maybe revisiting this song will help inspire me to finish   documenting the tale?

Ron and I originally recorded this song with our old band Godzoundz, but it was only ever released on a very limited cassette run. We decided a while back that we should chip away at re-recording these songs and try to give them their due as it was all pretty deep underground back then. So here's the first one of those.

Our basement studio flooded a couple weeks ago and production has been temporarily slowed, so we thought we'd trot out some of these oddities and misfits while we chip away at reworking our studio and getting it put back together. Hope you enjoy!

Les premières notes de cette chanson me sont arrivées en Mai 2022, juste après avoir composé "Même si tout s'arrête". Peut-être ce qui explique une certaine ressemblance dans la façon de les avoir construites, à savoir des accords de synthés vintage qui servent de support à la mélodie et une thématique parlant d'histoire d'amour. Mais la comparaison s'arrête là car les deux titres ont vraiment chacun un caractère et une identité propres qui les distinguent l'un de l'autre sans hésitation. 
Cette chanson est restée dans les cartons près de 1 an, avant que je n'écrive les paroles en Mai dernier, et que je l'enregistre. Ensuite mon ami Freddie de MTM Production a mis sa "touch" pour re-mixer et masteriser ce titre, en lui redonnant du punch et toute la dynamique nécessaire. Freddie, encore merci pour toute l'expérience et le temps que tu accordes à mes créations. C'est à mes yeux d'une valeur inestimable.
J'espère que vous prendrez plaisir à découvrir ce titre, au moins autant de plaisir que j'ai pu avoir à l'écrire et le réaliser. Comme d'habitude, n'hésitez pas à "liker" et reposter, c'est très apprécié et si important pour Freddie et moi!

The first notes of this song came to me in May 2022, just after composing “Même si tout s'arrête”. Perhaps this explains a certain resemblance in the way they were constructed, namely vintage synth chords which serve as support for the melody and a theme speaking of a love story. But the comparison stops there because the two titles really each have their own character and identity which distinguish them from each other without hesitation.
This song was in the works for almost a year, before I wrote the lyrics last May, and recorded it. Then my friend Freddie from MTM Production put his touch to re-mix and master this title, giving it some punch and all the necessary dynamics. Freddie, thank you again for all the experience and time you give to my creations. In my eyes, it is of inestimable value.
I hope you enjoy discovering this title, at least as much pleasure as I had writing and producing it. As usual, don't hesitate to "like" and repost, it's very appreciated and so important to Freddie and me!

Spleen de toi (Paroles de Richard Gonfrier)

J’viens encore de rêver de toi 
Que tu posais tes mains sur moi
Ma nuit n’a plus d’sens 
J’me réveille comme ça 

Je me retourne mais tu n’es pas là 
Je sais pas bien ce qui ne va pas
Je n’ai pour réponse 
Que des pourquoi

Refrain :
Mais je regarde les avions partir sans toi
Je te cherche dans tous les aéroports 
Je me perds dans le souvenir de ta voix 
Don’t go

Mais quand je regarde le ciel je te revois
Je ne l’ai pas réalisé encore
J’veux revoir ton sourire, j’ai le spleen de toi
Don’t go

J’écris des mots d’amour pour toi
Je crie mes maux que tu n’entends pas
J’me demande si c’est 
pas mieux comme ça 

J’aurais voulu être ton roi
Être ton vice et toi mon versa
Mais le temps qu’j’me lance
Tu es loin déjà 

Refrain :
Mais je regarde les avions partir sans toi
Je te cherche dans tous les aéroports 
Je me perds dans le souvenir de ta voix 
Don’t go

This Is My Life W/ Janne Hennie

A story calls it all unfolds a shadow hanging over me
A path Is paved but who wait behind the open door 
The waves they always roll too close to me
In my mind I know you will Stampede all over me

Feeling Like a block of stone thinking of the unknown
they whisper words you like to hear those beautiful lies
I travelled many miles to see and hear the same 
They turn your mind inside out until your paralysed 

stampede all over me

Notre cœur est un bleu
En courage glacé 
Leurs double sens
Crachant du sang
Mais
Les auras liées
Valses les vrilles
Traumatophiles
À ravir
À attacher
À suçoter
Iront les rythmes
Ralentir
L'ensauvagement
Vif
Et inspiré
Tiré des déboires
De justices illusoires
D'étoiles totalitaires
Potions tendres
Tentations transcendées 
Aux enfants prêts à fleurir
Dégreffés du dictat
L'horizon réalisé

Lyric video: https://youtu.be/fs2qiOKNDkg

They say it can’t be done
We’ll never live as one
They say it can’t be true
There’s not enough love in this world ‘tween me and you

Oh, so different!
We’re all so different
We can’t embrace because we’re different
Why can’t we make a difference?

Do I hear the voices
Join in and sing along with me
And pray for better choices
A world of peace

Oh, the voices
I hear all the other voices
For peace and harmony
Peace and harmony
I hear all the other voices 
For peace and harmony

Yes, there’s pain in history
But can we ever lead with peace
And turn the other cheek?
From the river to the sea
From the river to the sea

Yes, a past is between us
What’s in our blood runs so deep
But we can’t change our destiny
If we can’t stop the blood flowing in our streets
Flowing in our streets

I hear the other voices
Join in and sing along with me 
We pray for other choices
Build a world of peace and harmony

Oh, the Voices
Oh, the Voices
I hear all the other Voices
Praying for peace

Oh, the Voices
I hear all the other voices
Sing along with me
Sing along with me
Sing along with me
For peace and harmony
For peace and harmony

Do I hear the voices
Do I hear all the other voices
How many other voices
Sing along with me
For peace and harmony
For peace and harmony
For peace and harmony
Peace and harmony

I hear all the voices
All the voices
Sing along with me 

Do I hear a thousand voices
Do I hear a thousand voices
Sing along with me

Do I hear a million voices
Hear a million voices
Sing along with me
For peace and harmony
For peace and harmony
Peace and harmony

Eight billion voices
Eight billion voices
Eight billion voices
Need peace
Peace and harmony

Eight Billion Voices
