"In the Bleak Midwinter" by English poet Christina Rossetti was first published in 1872.  In 1906 Gustav Holst composed a setting to these verses now sung throughout the world.  At this dark time in humanity it is our sincere hope that you will refect upon these verses with us and ponder the hope and true meaning of Christmas.  

Thank you, Oddrun, for your voice which breathes life into what would just otherwise be music.

Lyrics:
In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.

Our God, heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty —
Jesus Christ.

What can I give Him,
Poor as I am? —
If I were a Shepherd
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part, —
Yet what I can I give Him, —
Give my heart.

Lyrics:  Obfuscated
Obfuscated, obfuscated
You make things unclear, You make things obscure,
Obfuscated, You confuse me
Obfuscated,  i’m perplexed how You make things complex, 
when you hide the truth when you bend the truth

obfuscated
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Obfuscated,
What you hide from the light is concealing
Deliberate misleading is deceiving
beguile Deceit, mislead, cheat, make  believe

Obfuscated,
web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies

Put in the shadows out of the light
In the fog, there’s no clear sight
In dirty water, it’s dark, you don’t see me
The answer is foggy, the message is misty

Obfuscated     
web of lies, in disguise - web of lies, in disguise
it’s no surprise there are so many words
for all sorts of lies
Obfuscated     
duplicity
double identity,  who do I trust
one or  none

Let’s face it, you know it
With a good sauce, you will eat it
Let’s face it, you know it
With the right words, you’ll believe it
Let’s face it, you know it
With a nice story you’ll  Buy it
If you want to believe it 
you won’t fight it

Obfuscated (collab Paploviante)

Une chanson parlée, pour l'expérience.  Je raconte ici que j'observe le public lors d'événements tels que le 14 juillet, ces moments où plus personne ne bouge, où tout le monde regarde dans la même direction, comme si on était tous d'accord, c'est assez marrant; on est tous ensemble, mais chacun dans sa bulle. C'est de la psycho à 2 balles, mais je trouve ça intéressant.
