I Forgive You

Petey - Lean Into Life

Lyrics:
Caught up in the summer heat 
Swimming in your honey sea
All I want is love
Give me all or nothing, Queen
Oh
  
Killing all my self esteem
Why you act so selfishly
All I want is love
Not a role inside your silver screen

We used to tango
Before the JNCOS
Look at your mangos
Hunny that’s a Van Gogh 
Put you on the table
On the payroll
We can taste the rainbow
Like the saying goes
I’m just

Caught up in the summer heat 
Swimming in your honey sea
All I want is love
Give me all or nothing, Queen
Oh

Killing all my self esteem
Why you act so selfishly
All I want is love
Not a role inside your silver screen

who put blood in my drink? - Single

who put blood in my drink?

Today, I’d like to introduce you to Gaspar Claus, a French cellist out of Paris, who has a number of collaborations, performing appearances, and soundtrack work under his belt (some names include Bryce Dessner, Sufjan Stevens, Jim O’Rourke, and Ryuichi Sakamoto), with the upcoming Tancade being his first solo album. I have covered plenty of music featuring the cello as the main instrument, and I can’t seem to get enough of its low, raspy textures, deep melancholy sighs, and soft fluttering sails. I do love the violin, but the cello still holds a very special place among the favourite timbres of my mind. And so the music from Tancade hits the spot, with the cello being the only instrument on the entire album, layered, processed, and orchestrated to sound as if numerous Claus clones are spinning a complex braid of sound all at once. On the first single of the record, which I am happily premiering for you today, the instrument is “rubbed with a bow, plucked, brushed, bumped, caressed, jostled, and transfigured,” for all its “rich harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic potential,” but even if you don’t zoom in on the technicalities, it is a piece of music that sounds grand. “Une Foule,” which means “a crowd,” refers to the “wild and marvellous parties that take place at ‘Tancade’, a small and difficult to access cove.”
