Chanson d'amour pour une fille
Ton coeur est tout lié et cassé
la nuit tombe
étoiles filantes
Chanson d'amour pour une fille
Si je savais pourquoi
Si je savais pourquoi
les étoiles sont seulement à 1,6km
mais juste une étincelle
juste s'enflammer quand la nuit est sombre
quand la lumière est
oh alors oh

un tunnel de lumière me suit sur cette route
est-ce que je me suis retournée
est-ce que je me suis retournée
pour que tu puisses me faire face
pendant que je pleure !

Lovesong For A Girl By Zitou Itou & Wildsilences

hey-that's your holiday gift-to all those who made it out Happy 2025!

No Slip Ups

I am not a religious person
Happy New Year! 

Come gather round people
You won’t believe the news
The war has ended
And there is peace on earth, it's true!

The people made their stand
Arm in arm, and hand in hand
And there is freedom in our land

No more poverty and greed
No more homeless in the streets
No more leaders telling lies
No more borders to divide 

All the world has become one
And we’re righting all the wrongs
Can’t you hear the song
And angels sing above
Songs of grace, songs of love
And it gives us hope again
As they sing their sweet refrain
Throughout the land

“Peace on earth to everyone”

 Naufragé. (Translated after the French text )

Texte de Sanzen 
Chant : Liora
Musique : Alain Illos

Tel celui qu'on oublie,
que l'aube n'émeut plus.
Celui pour qui le soleil,
pâle, est devenu.
À travers sa ruine,
l'horizon semble un rêve.
Pour lui qui ne voit plus,
dont la voix affaiblie.
Celui qui disparait,
pour qui le temps n'est plus.
Quel appel, quel amour,
quelle terre pour lui ?
Toi qui voyage au pays des morts,
en quête de secrets, de lumière, d'espoir.
Quels mystères oubliés, pour quelle identité ?
De ta vie naufragée, qui pour se rappeler ?

Shipwrecked

Like the one we forget,
that dawn no longer moves.
The one for whom the sun,
has become pale.
Through his ruin,
the horizon seems a dream.
For him who can no longer see,
whose voice is weakened.
He who disappears,
for whom time is no more.
What a call, what love,
what land for him?
You who travel to the land of the dead,
in search of secrets, of light, of hope.
What forgotten mysteries, for what identity?
Who will remember your shipwrecked life?

Behind The Dam

“The person 
who allows oneself 
to be exuded (poured out)
in weeping 
and a music 
which is no longer like it 
in anything, (in anything)

at the same time 
allows the stream 
of what is not itself 
to flow back 
into it, 
what is not itself 

and what was dammed up 

behind the dam 
of the world of things.”

Je te lis
Tu me lis
Mais on n'se livre pas
Tes mots quittent les lignes
Quand mes pensées t'échappent
On ajoute
Plus de vide
On s'évide même parfois
Rien ne change à vrai dire
Les mêmes mots les mêmes phrases
Synonymes homonymes
Tout s'efface après ça
On a usé nos yeux
À vouloir dire mieux qu'ça
On a usé nos yeux
À vouloir dire mieux qu'ça
Tout s'efface

Tu me lies
Je te lie
Les contraires nous éloignent
À défaut on s'attire
On s'arrime au clivage
Tout s'efface

All fades away 

I read you
You read me
But we don't surrender
Your words leave the lines
When my thoughts escape you
We add
More emptiness
We even escape sometimes
Nothing really changes
The same words the same phrases
Synonyms homonyms
Everything fades after that
We've worn out our eyes
Trying to say better than that
We've worn out our eyes
To say better than that
All fades away
It's all fading away
You bind me
I bind you
Opposites drive us apart
By default we attract
We cling to the divide
All fades away
All fades away
Synonyms homonyms
All fades away after that
We've worn out our eyes
Trying to say better than that
We've worn out our eyes
To say better than that
All fades away
It's all fading away...


Tout s'efface avec Did Wilkops

Starting off 2025, the new year, with a bit of uncertainty.
A life- choices theme? An Economic cautionary tale?
I prefer the political application of the Latin "Buyer Beware". The application came, in the US in November, turning back progress. In Canada, Trudeau has just announced his resignation. Buyer Beware, or to use Joni Mitchell's words, "You don't know what you've got til it's gone, they paved paradise (progress) and put up a parking lot (or oil pipelines, or coal mines, or trying to threaten neighbours and make enemies of friends). But the people knew what they were doing when they created this mess...or were they victims of social media, filters, throttles, algorithms, and moneyed influence peddling?

A dark musical synth-based veneer, casts a brooding affect over the listener, though, if the message is heard, embraced, and a direction changed, a hint of optimism may yet prevail.

Available for D/L on the WAG Wix page, track 7 from the 2024 collection called Spittle and Spite : https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons


Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware)
Aaaaah….
Hear what you want to hear
And you see what you want to see
There is truth… and there is need
Caveat emptor…let the buyer be aware
Caveat emptor…beware
Shudda…like you shudda…check it out… like you shudda
Like you should …check it out (x2)
(INST)
The best that you can do, in a locked room
Is press your face to the window
Are you fearful of being angry?
Or so angry at being just fearful?
Caveat emptor…let the buyer be aware
Caveat emptor…beware!

Caveat Emptor

Mental Gymnastics Vocals

Cast of Characters: 

Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – bass, acoustic guitar, drums, and composition

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– mix, production, and mastering

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – mandolin and lap steel

This song began as an idea that Chris came up with on his acoustic guitar, and shared with Josh. Josh, loving everything that Chris writes, jumped at the opportunity to work on it.
Josh first added the melodic lap steel you hear throughout. Then, in the same session, came up with and recorded the mandolin track. He believes Rick Rubin's mantra, when it's flowing, keep it going. This song was the first of about half a dozen that Chris shared with the Eclectic Collective back at the beginning of summer. So, it sat dormant for about five months, until Chris revived it by adding the impressive rhythm section of bass and drums to complete it. Chris is always a multi talented part of the team.

When it was all in the can, we asked Stephen to mix it for us, because his mixes are always so pro sounding. He also mastered it for us, too.

This is the first song that Chris and Josh have recorded as a duo in almost a year. However, they love recording together and feel this is a great way to start the New Year with some magical music. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Oh,
Wait
Is it already that late ?
And we still hesitate
Let us concentrate…
Let ’s collaborate…
Yeah…
Seriously…
This is supposed to be 
Just another love song
But 
We cannot sort out heart from mind, 
And that won’t be different this time

And with  .4 k per second
Just spinning around ourselves

No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…

Let us concentrate - ah -
Here today
There is no escape…

No giggling please…
Let’s collaborate…
This is supposed to be 
Just another love song
We won’t sort out heart from mind
And that won’t be different this time

And with 3.2 k per second, 
Ahaa, ahaa…
Circling around the sun
Ohh,
No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…
It’s only one way…
One way-y-y-y-y-y-y-y…yeah…

- solo -

So many lovesongs have been sung
So why again now a further one ?
Because it must not be left undone
Cannot leave it undone
Just cannot leave it undone…

Ohh,
There are turbulences

No joking please
There is trouble ahead
Hitting the unprepared -
Ohh, this is a hard way…

While we float
With some 30 k/s 
Around the milky way
And other hundreds of k/s
Trundling other ways
Within a thousand days
That is quite a stray
Even if you don’t move a single hoof…

No giggling please
This is supposed to be another love song
No joking please
This is a far flight
No giggling please
This is a heart’s way
And it’s only…
It's only one-way,
It's only one way…
