From my new album "Fû": https://ariad.bandcamp.com/album/f
Any support on bandcamp is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

This little track has been created on the last day of 2022 and the first day of 2023. I wish everyone a beautiful new year, full of creativity, full of art, full of peace, full of love! I'm really happy currently, as I will start the year with a great travel to Australia. I look forward to meet Melbourne's soundclouders there. Soundcloud is a great community, so glad to be part of this! Let's continue to make music all together, to share, to collab, to create! Art is a conveyor of love. That crazy world needs it more than ever!!!

Edit 2023: I finally used a bird recording I took from the place I stayed in Australia. This way, this little track captures the rejoicing of that great travel and all the good memories as well.

My album Fû is centered about aerial elements and woodwind. It's a kind of ode to the natural world, to the trees, to the birds and also a musical journey for any dreamer. I recommend to listen it with headphones for the best experience!

Happy happy (2023)

(After Math. Before Spelling. A love that could not be. The true story of two best friends, trapped in My Own Private Manitoba.)

Trying to sing a sunrise,
from out the letting of our bad blood,
but your silence speaks,my knees weak,
beneath the flow of the flood,

Honestly, can't you see,this is me,
trying to be what you want,
except i couldn't and can't,
not a promise or pant, could i haunt,

desolation darkens the door,
where i dress up in my death,
but that's life, and it's rife,with this strife,
the clock breaking with each breath,

and now the hands never meet,
so we'll stare at our feet,with interest,
and the numbers don't count,
up to any amount, i confess,

Wager me, i'll be wringing the words,
from my clotted throat,
Wager me, and the tracks that we marked,
bid a baleful bloat,

Wager me,
for i told the truth,
and you broke my mirror,

It must be all my fault,
if we don't appear,
is our reflection gone?
is that the path we're on?
out from the sinking streets,
of the quicksand concrete,

you know my scars still sing...

Apologies to fall from my lips,
are only tears in the rain,
in the muddle of this puddle,
I would catch your refection again,
but for the reality that my proximity,
imparts pain,
and the truth is that noose of abuse,
swinging loose in my brain,

Sorry is the name of the blame,
that bides a world without friends,
where confessions of love, are made of,
old shames and long lost loose ends,

And every poor Palindrome,
a once and future home to forsake,
until they're lost in the cost,
of destruction that they'll leave in their wake,

Palindrome

Well I’ve had some sunny days and it’s been fun
but when I woke up this morning and I raised up the shade
it was a pink sky forewarning
bad times are headed my way 

Should I run 
Should I hide
Lock the door and stay inside and 
every time I look that sun gets higher
and that sky
turns brighter 
and 

It’s a holy ball of fire streaming death rays and golden spires
bathed in the rouge of a painted lady
wears all her desire
and 

I’ve had days of constant struggle 
like I’m living in the bowels of a dead end puzzle 
so I’m happy for the settling hue
of a sun who’s time is due
give me a pink sky tonight 
a lick of rose
a peaceful sight 

Well I’ve had some sunny days and it’s been fun
but when I woke up this morning and I raised up the shade
it was a pink sky forewarning
bad times are headed my way

Wears Her Desire

Hey everyone! Follow this here link to see your pals Secret Caves in action! https://youtu.be/2MmLy6hJqqg ... Here's the scoop:

The Caves recently performed on the fabulous talk show IN THE ATTIC WITH PIPER.  The show is hosted by the inimitable Piper, a true princess and also? a true puppet! Secret Caves sat down for an interview with Piper, who is known for her insightful inquiries and merciless pursuit of the truth, and yes the band revealed ALL the dirt. We also performed a couple of songs, including one from our new 6 song EP "tell the devil i can't be late" (currently FREE on our bandcamp! https://secretcaves.bandcamp.com/album/tell-the-devil-i-cant-be-late-ep) ... and there's more! Lucifer himself stopped by to hobnob with the band and Piper, sing a pensive little song, condemn an unlucky puppet to hellfire... you know, good clean fun.  Watch now!! (well, after 1pm PST): https://youtu.be/2MmLy6hJqqg

meanwhile, here's the words to THIS song of ours, also from the new EP...
i wanna fill all my heart with moonshine
and make it clear why you’ve never been mine
i wanna sell out a lie that comes true
i wanna walk with the devil for you
i wanna waltz in the martyrs parade
and then i’ll strip on the overnight train
i wanna pierce through your bleak ballyhoo
i wanna walk with the devil for you

come inside now
there’s no need to face it alone
let it ride now
come inside

i wanna twist up my soul on the wheel
and sling my wares in the valley of steel
i wanna break all the vows we renewed
i wanna walk with devil for you
and when you finally limp back to shore
i’ll take you out for the 3 dollar tour
i wanna burst through your bleak ballyhoo
i wanna walk with the devil for you

come inside now
there’s no need to face it alone
let it ride now
come inside

i don’t need much
just one single taste of that destruction
just one single touch
come lay your hands on my corruption

i wanna walk with the devil for you
I wanna break the vows we renewed
I wanna walk with the devil for you

walk with the devil
