Lyrics

Chanson Romanesque

Si vous me disiez que la terre
À tant tourner vous offensa,
Je lui dépêcherais Pança:
Vous la verriez fixe et se taire.

Si vous me disiez que l'ennui
Vous vient du ciel trop fleuri d'astres,
Déchirant les divins cadastres,
Je faucherais d'un coup la nuit.

Si vous me disiez que l'espace
Ainsi vidé ne vous plaît point,
Chevalier dieu, la lance au poing.
J'étoilerais le vent qui passe.

Mais si vous disiez que mon sang
Est plus à moi qu'à vous, ma Dame,
Je blêmirais dessous le blâme
Et je mourrais, vous bénissant.

Ô Dulcinée.

English

Romantic song

Were you to tell that the earth
Offended you with so much turning,
I'd dispatch Panza to deal with it:
You'd see it still and silenced.

Were you to tell me that you are wearied
By a sky too studded with stars -
Tearing the divine order asunder,
I'd scythe the night with a single blow.

Were you to tell me that space itself,
Thus denuded was not to your taste -
As a god-like knight, with lance in hand,
I'd sow the fleeting wind with stars.

But were you to tell me that my blood
Is more mine, my Lady, than your own,
I'd pale at the admonishment
And, blessing you, would die.

O Dulcinea.

This song tells the story of an aging former Walk of Fame movie star who once basked in the Hollywood limelight and was everyone’s sweetheart on the silver screen. With the passage of time, fewer screen roles come her way, and she begins to depend on red wine to cope with her depression and grief. Eventually, she decides to end it all. Indeed, glory, fame and fortune are a young girl's game in Hollywood, which is riddled with stereotypes of beauty and youth. This emotional and moving song is a dedication to those who have taken their lives over the years in Hollywood and elsewhere due to societal pressures to retain their youth, beauty and fame.   On November 22, 2025,  this song hit No. 4 on the Euro Indie Music Network chart list. On October 20, 2025 this song hit No. 7 on the World Indie Top 100 Music Chart list. On December 4, 2025 hit No. 21 on the US Top 20 Show-Weekly Pulse of Music.

Ripples of Time

Ripples Of Time MASTERED- Wav

Six months of hard graft to get this to how I wanted 😔


Whispers in the air they twist and turn
Fingers of light make the shadows burn
A million voices hum they don’t collide
The spirits in the sky they never hide

Spirits in the sky oh they’re calling me
Dancing in the night wild and free
Spirits in the sky I can’t deny
They’re pulling me up they’re teaching me to fly

Spirts in the sky .mp3

Loud guitar rock
Sometimes we have nothing left to give
