Lyrics & Vocals by Lac:

Imagination

I see the Earth
There is everybody fun 
and sun is always shining.
Just do the work,
and everybody will good 
in world.

I see the world without wars.
It's imagination.
Little boys without toys 
It's Imagination.

I see the world without chances. 
It's imagination. 
See the truth without justice 
It's Imagination.
 
I see the Earth
There is everybody fun 
and sun is always shining.
Just seek the truth,
and everybody will be 
your Muse.
There is celebration!

Messing around in the honky tonk dive of my mind on a cloudy and blustery cold day.  Ya gotta blow off steam every now and then.

Folk Form In A Maj. - Variation 36,423

Christopher Columbus first came to Portugal to ask for some ships for his idea of reaching India sailing west. But the estimate he presented to the Portuguese court of the distances to reach Cipango and China were clearly wrong, and the request was refused. It was suicide. As he stumbled upon the Antilles, Columbus found his salvation and glory. But he never acknowledged that he was wrong, and that's why the new continent was not called Colombia. Amerigo Vesppucci wrote a popular book about the new territory, which was eventually named after him. 

PARTIR

Pour arriver, il faut partir.
I faut rêver d'une quelque part,
parfois envers et contre tous,
tout enivré de faux espoirs.

Il y a d'étonnantes découvertes 
qui nous attendent à l'horizon
sur les chemins pris par des fous
les Christophe Colomb qui risquent tout
cherchant la gloire d'inouïs voyages
et les richesses, et les mirages
pour étancher leur soif de faire
pour s'affranchir d'être néant.

Mais je ne pars pas, moi.
Je ne suis pas fou...
Je fais partie des sots bien sages
qui restent au port bien prudemment
pour éviter tous les naufrages,
pour échapper aux coups de vent.

Je peux vous dire, prenant de l'âge,
que j'ai vécu sans rien trouver,
que j'ai vieilli pour rien du tout.
Tout, sauf l'ennui et le regret
d'avoir raté la nef des fous.

LEAVING

To get somewhere, we need to leave.
We have to dream about some place,
sometimes against all odds,
inebriated with false hopes.

There are amazing discoveries
that await us on the horizon
on the paths taken by madmen
the Christopher Columbus who risks everything
seeking the glory of unheard voyages
and the riches, and the mirages,
to quench their thirst for doing something
to free themselves from being nothing.

But I'm not leaving.
I'm not crazy...
I am one of those wise fools
who very cautiously stay in the harbor
to avoid all shipwrecks,
to keep away from the gusts of wind.

I can tell you, now that I'm old,
that I have lived without a finding,
that I grew old without a purpose.
Nothing, except the boredom and the regret
of having missed the ship of fools.

Rather Be

This is my way of telling the story of a goofy alien creature delivering newspapers in a 1950s inspired space city.
