Xenia Kriisin - Blackout

GHOSTLIGHT ORCHESTRA - JUST

Ces 4 titres masterisés sont issus de l'album de Birds on a wire, Rosemary Standley et Dom La Nena sortie le 31 mars 2014 chez Air Rytmo / L'Autre Distribution

C’est une histoire de rencontres. 
Celle d’abord d’une chanteuse, Rosemary Standley, et d’une productrice de spectacles, Madamelune, qui ont l’envie de monter un duo de reprises voix et violoncelle. 
Dom La Nena, toute jeune violoncelliste et chanteuse aux multiples talents rejoint alors la chanteuse de Moriarty. 
L'alchimie est immédiate : dès la première répétition domine l'impression qu'on a affaire là à deux sœurs qui auraient passé leur jeunesse à jouer de la musique dans la même chambre, le soir, à la lueur d'une lampe de chevet. 
Entre la franco-américaine et la brésilienne, les répertoires s’échangent et s’entrechoquent : classique, folk, traditionnel américain ou argentin ; en italien, anglais, réunionnais, espagnol, arabe. 
D’Henry Purcell à Tom Waits en passant par Stefano Landi, Violetta Parra ou encore Léonard Cohen, ces deux oiseaux sur un fil, ces deux  Birds on a wire sont prêtes pour une tournée d’une trentaine de dates. 

Ces miscellanées live doivent absolument être immortalisées, faire l’objet d’un recueil que l’on pourrait emporter avec soi. Le disque s’impose. 
Joueur, émouvant, délicat, fragile, dépouillé, rayonnant de grâce et de naturel, 
Birds on a wire qui sort chez Air Rytmo, label anagramme de Moriarty, est comme un album photo que l’on feuillette et alors les souvenirs reviennent :  on pleure avec All the World is Green de Tom Waits ou Oh My Love de John Lennon, on frisonne avec Blessed is the memory de Leonard Cohen, on rit sur Sambinha signé Dom La Nena, on hyperventile sur Arriba quemando el sol de Violetta Parra, on rêve éveillé sur Panis & Circenses de Caetano Veloso, on frémit sur le traditionnel Duerme Negrito, on ferme les yeux sur Solitude de Purcell. On repense à ces amours passées, envolées, regrettées ou pas. Car à travers les chansons réunies ici, Rosemary Standley et Dom La Nena ne chantent, ne parlent, (presque) que d'amour. D'amants éperdus dont les adresses, les demandes de grâce se perdent dans le vide. C'est ce vide que deux Inséparables nommées Rosemary et Dom viennent combler comme des oiseaux annonçant le printemps.

''Kat Frankie spent her youth in the sunburnt suburbs of Sydney, scribing countless songs in her parents' sweltering attic. She moved to Berlin in December 2004, where she is known for her passionate, dynamic and riveting live shows. Kat performs both solo and with band; both incarnations feature powerful arrangements that give space to her incredible voice; reaching from tender, sparse melancholy to dramatic, soaring aggression.
Kat's debut album, "Pocketknife" was released in Australia in September 2007, and in Germany January 2008, and has been highly praised in both countries. Kat has also released an EP titled "outside.now." and appears on several independent compilations from Australia and Germany.
Kat also features in BerlinSong, a music documentary made by Uli Schueppel about songwriters in Berlin. The film was selected to premiere at the 2007 Berlinale Film Festival.

Lyrics : 
she met you in the driveway it was so warm
and the neighbours still complaining about the heat
then she fell in your way, she broke down and said
I feel loved
but people, will tell you where to go
I don't know why their revelations bore me, I know I
won't go outside
but right there like a rabbit in the yard I'm aware of 
the predators this city conceals, I
know by
their eyes

but charlie, don't jump
stay in this world

you lay down in hallway it was so wide
like a slow dance with the carpet, cheek to cheek
and sensing with the feel and only known to you
higher ground
but people will tell you where to go, I don't know why
they clutch their faith as their only defense against the void
and right there like a rabbit in the yard I'm aware of
the predators this city conceals I
know by their eyes

but Charlie don't jump, stay in this world
charlie don't jump, there's so much to live for
Charlie don't jump, a lovers coming soon
Charlie don't jump, there's someone who needs you

Back on the Road

Kristin Asbjornsen - Slow Day

Lyrics 

"Help me I am helpless"
Cried the beggar to the thief
"Help me find a home again
I need safety and relief
I'm weaker than the smallest breeze
I have lost all my belief"

"Come with me" the thief replied
"I'll show you a land that's free
Where no door has ever closed
Onto the likes of you and me
For just as you cannot steal the sun
You cannot steal all that I've seen"

Roam until I roam no more
Run until I run no more

"I'll go with you" the beggar cried
"I'll follow you my friend
I'll be the shadow on your path
Round each and every bend
As I stand before you now
Naked until the end"

"All is well" the thief he laughed
"Let's hit the endless trail
You will be rewarded fast
As long as you don't fail
I'll pick the locks upon the gates
Of heaven and in we'll sail"

Roam until I roam no more
Run until I run no more

Back To Her Man - Homage to Leonard Cohen

The look of hunger in a woman with heat
Is enough to lift an old man from his knees
Like the piece of a puzzle
he's been lookin' for
He was leanin' to dyin'
now he's comin' back for more.

The look of a woman
when she gets you alone
You can't see what's comin'
but there's blood in your bones.
There's powder in your pocket
and ships in your sea
Well it doesn't often happen
but it happened to me.

Then she goes back to her man
Back to her man
Back to, back to her man.

There's a look of war in the way that you go
But the lead in your arrow is loose,
don't you know?
And all that you've got is lost in the game
Of picking your own pockets
for someone to blame.

There may be nothin' above the art of love
Depending on who you're dreaming of
And you can't escape
when it feels like rape
But who's raping who?

Then she goes back to her man
Back to her man
Back to, back to her man. (2x)

She don't love him
She don't love him no more
Love him, love him (2x)

She don't love her man
She don't love (2x)

She goes back to her man
Back her man
Back to, back to her man.

I get no sleep when you're around
can' put my thoughts back on the ground
i panic when i dive by daybreak
wondering was this just a big mistake

we got no istem in return
could grow old but never learn
the bedtime stories i've been told
make me tired by getting old

so hold on tight cause this might hurt
we lost ground and that might break you're heart
every time you look my way i fall
to the blue that pins me to this wall

you know me by my daylight face
sweet perfume a warm embrace
but if you could see the other person
uncontrolled and scary aversion

i try so hard to keep the grip
hold my tongue i bite my lip
because you mean so much to me
you are still just scared to see

so hold on tight i know it hurts
we lost ground and that broke both our hearts
every time you look my way i fall
into the blue that pins me to this wall

as they seem to be weightless
every time they seem weightless
seems to be weightless
