Shadow Dance (12" Version)

London-based DJ and producer Katie Wilkinson is a bird lover, no wonder she decided to call her brand-new music project… Birds. Exploring her New Wave, 80s Goth, Techno, Psychedelic, and Experimental influences, Katie has been delivering high-quality themes and drawing more and more attention through her solid releases on influential Indie Dance labels such as Emerald & Doreen, Ombra International, Samo, Inside Out, and now on NEIN Records with “Time”, a 4-track EP divided into two dark-as-hell originals and two dangerous remixes by our dear friends Alvee (FREEDL019) and Gegen Mann (SXDNS220).

Her music brings together acid basslines with post-punk style guitars and off-kilter vocals to create something refreshingly original. The successful formula has been responsible for extremely well-crafted retro-infused pieces. In sum: Music with attitude, that’s the best definition of Birds’ exquisite sonority.

Through the remix we were solicited to review/premiere, Alvee proved he is totally familiarized and comfortable dealing with the mesmerizing Post-Punk universe. His interpretation of “Feed The Void” kept the gloomy atmosphere of the original even after having spiced & speed up things a little bit. The Mexican virtuoso went from 100 to 121 BPM, properly twisted the vibrant acid layer, and added some badass guitar riffs that paired sublimely with the amazing vocals by the star of the hour. Kudos, Jungs!

'Like Vampires'

Oh glorious is the thought of possessing you
But in vain everything I do
Why do you sit so silent now?
Across your face.. I'll fix that frown

Fingers entwined, oh it's a great time
Fingers entwined, oh it's a great time
Don't fall apart, oh not tonight
Don't go away, no not tonight

I will follow you to the ends of this Earth
Forget everything that made you hurt
And if nothing else then I promise you
We'll live forever.. like vampires

We'll live forever like vampires
We'll live forever like vampires
We'll live forever like vampires
We'll live forever like vampires

With lips colored red like my favorite wine
She twirls and twirls under pale moonlight
I'd like to think that we'll be just fine
But apart from you, oh it's a bad time

Apart from you, oh it's a bad time
Apart from you, oh it's a bad time
Overwrite my wrongs and make this right
Just disappear with me tonight

I will follow you to the ends of this Earth
Forget everything that made you hurt
And if nothing else then I promise you
We'll live forever.. like vampires

We'll live forever like vampires
We'll live forever like vampires
We'll live forever like vampires
We'll live forever like vampires

Sara Devoe - sleep with me

You see the hurt inside my eyes
You feel the pain from deep inside
The fleeting time it passes by
The clock strikes midnight
No point to lead me on this time
No truth to read between the lines
I know you'll leave me far behind
I know you'll leave me

And now I'm left to question why
But I don't want to
And now you're all that's on my mind
But I don't want to

Leave you in the night in a memory
Watch me suffer
Don't forget me now, I'm all alone
There's no other
Take my heart into your hands now
Hear my offer
Break my heart in two, I'm all alone
There's no other

The light ahead grows dim and I
Feel like giving up this time
Your absence weighing on my mind
My heart strikes midnight
No lesson to be learned this time
No secret left for me to find
I know you've left me far behind
I know you've left me

I know you've left me far behind
I know you've left me


And now I'm left to question why
But I don't want to
And now you're all that's on my mind
But I don't want to

Leave you in the night in a memory
Watch me suffer
Don't forget me now, I'm all alone
There's no other
Take my heart into your hands now
Hear my offer
Break my heart in two, I'm all alone
There's no other

LYRICS:

 
A disturbing anxiety
 Throwing me to instant death
 I had almost death
 I had almost death

 I would beg you to bury me among with intelligent minds

The maximum of sadness in my miserable mind
The maximum of sadness in my miserable mind

Until death arrives 
Some pills and some books would be make change my mind

Depersonalization

i wish i could fly (by you)

From the Violence album, 'La somme de mes soifs' out on Ltd Edition 12" vinyl, cat. tonn042, on TONN Recordings Bandcamp.

In 2010 Julie-Morand Ferron and Éric Trottier formed one of the most exciting duos in the Canadian electronic music scene. As Violence they created a distinct sound that captured all of their energy and enthusiasm for the things they held dear in the world around them. Since their relationship formed as teenagers, they went on to become creative partners in a constant exchange of musical and artistic ideas. Sadly, Julie passed away in 2022. She left a rich legacy behind, both as a devoted mother and also in her work as an eminent scientist, published in prestigious scientific journals. In her work as a formidable performer, she created Violence's last album as a duo with her partner Éric.

Lucky Bum & Sternschnuppe-  Violence (from the 12" Vinyl Album)

I had lost my only way
Left alone to front the blame
There you were to speak my name
A siren's call to numb the pain
So I gave myself away
And I gave into your ways
Your soft lips caressed my face
So I gave myself away
No convictions left to chase
No more dignity to claim
Your sweet kiss was all I'd taste
All my pain and greif erased

I'm floating high above the sky
On clouds of lust and lullabies
So high on dopamine tonight
Now I'm in heaven

Now I know it's all a lie
The shame I weather
Your love was never truly mine
Your game was clever
You only used me to derive
A twisted pleasure
And now I'm left without my pride
A harlot's beggar

I feel used and so betrayed
Been abused and thrown away
There you were to speak my name
And I gave into your ways
Why'd I give myself away
Why'd I give into your ways
I knew the past would haunt my days
Why'd I give myself away

Why'd I give myself away
I gave myself away

I'm sinking deep beneath the ground
On clouds of lust I choke and drown
Regret and shame consumes me now
Now where's my heaven

Now I know it's all a lie
The shame I weather
Your love was never truly mine
Your game was clever
You only used me to derive
A twisted pleasure
And now I'm left without my pride
A harlot's beggar

'Zetsubō'

And I dress you up
And I make you up
I dress you up
I.. I

I leave you roses in your bathtub
I leave you roses on your bedroom floor
I leave you roses on your, on your bed
I leave you roses where you rest your head

My head is hurting and my knees've gone weak
Another quiet night and I will not sleep
I can't stand the thought of being without you
I don't know what I would do

And I dress you up
And I make you up
I carry you to the altar, and pray my words do not falter

Moonlit is your room (There's no waking up)
Moonlit is your room (There's no waking up)
Moonlit is your room (There's no waking up)
Moonlit is your room (There's no waking up)

Hidden in the shadows of your room
Abyss remains, but a windowed moon
brings a slither of light
As you lay peacefully
A floor creaks begs an alarm to ring
And only if the wind could sing
It'd wake up
But you only rest now
In dreams of us
Where this love remains
Where this love remains

I went about selling salt for sorrow
Nocturnal ends a thought of tomorrow
Nocturnal ends a thought of tomorrow
Forever I remain with no tomorrow

I left you roses in your bathtub
I left you roses on your bedroom floor
I left you roses on your, on your bed
I left you roses where you rest your head

Moonlit is your room (There's no waking up)
Moonlit is your room (There's no waking up)
Moonlit is your room (There's no waking up)
Moonlit is your room (There's no waking up)

There's no waking up

'Amethyst'

Don't let the dream die
Don't lose all that's inside
Your face in my hands
Eyes meet eyes.. I understand

The times are really changing
Memories rearranging

But if hope is lost
And things've gone awry
Send a miracle just one last time

"I've seen the truth in your eyes
But I still can not decide"

Oh don't wait for it to go
Hold on and it will show
Hold on and it will show
Hold on and it will show

Don't let the dream die
Don't lose all that's inside
Your face against my face
Eyes closed
Eyes closed

The moment is all fleeting
And looks aren't so deceiving

But if hope is lost
And things've gone awry
Look for me just one last time

One last time
One last time
One last - one last - one last time
One last time
One last time
One last - one last - one last time (Eyes closed, eyes closed)

But if I'm gone
If I'm gone
But if I'm gone
If I'm gone
But if I'm gone
If I'm gone

Look for me just one last time

"I've seen the truth in your eyes
But I still can not decide"

Oh don't wait for it to go
Hold on and it will show
Hold on and it will show
Hold on and it will show
Oh don't wait for it to go
Hold on and it will show
Hold on and it will show
Hold on and it will show
Oh don't wait for it to go
Hold on and it will show
Hold on and it will show
Hold on and it will show

"I've seen the truth in your eyes"

Lyrics:

She dances on flames, her shadow light
A whisper steals the breath I take
The moon pauses just for her sake
Melancholy reigns like rain’s soft song
  
She dances on waves tears illuminating
A scent that lingers intoxicating
A truth I can no longer flee
The night fades into her melody
Malicious like a siren’s song
  

Sweet is your tongue, yet laced with lies
You are my prison, my heart’s demise
The most beautiful chain I wear
In your grasp I’m lost, laid bare

She dance...

Sweet Is Your Tongue [Witch]

'Stimulant'

It's not in the stories 
It's not in the pictures 
Furthest away
The feeling, I couldn't count on it

It's not so different 
It's not so bad 

Left this in my head
Flowers knock me dead
Furthest away... You are
I couldn't count on you

It's not so different 
It's not so bad

You lie so well
You lie so well
Far from the truth 
Delusion, I could count on you

It's not so different 
It's not so bad

This version made with respect to all the artists above.

It's A Fine Day

On the east side, they are waiting
In the fallout of the shaming
I swear when you let me out, only freedom will embrace me

Was it wrong to save your life?
Your slave
Here's a song to make it right
Your slave

On a short leash, it's so degrading and the cruelty is amazing
Bite down and they're applauding
The fluid spills now, it's so galling

I HAVE SLEPT WITH ALL THE GIRLS IN BERLIN – Unreleased Sisters of Mercy 

Shake me down again 
I can wake up in this zoo 
I've been used and abused 
I've been chased and I've been bruised
I can take what I've been through  
I’ve been naked on the news 
I've been debased and disabused 
Just leave me downtown when you're through  

Turn me over 
Turn me in 
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin 

Girls who weep and girls who strip
Girls in bars and girls on tips  
Girls on journeys, girls on trips 
Girls on gurneys, girls on drips 
Girls like you with poison tips 
Girls like you like pistol whips
Girls in overzealous green with a third degree in jealousy 

Turn me over 
Turn me in 
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin 

Girls who smoke and girls on weed
Girls on coke and girls on speed 
Girls who choke and girls that smile 
Girls who swallow in denial 
Girls in crisis, ultra hip
Eyes like Isis, wide as Egypt 
The girl you found with pale blue lips so you can shake me down again 

Turn me over 
Turn me in 
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin
