Ramblings is an EP of four improvised tracks, recorded earlier this year.
 
Me and my guitar, sat in my room in Paris, using improvisation to write songs, a way to process the feelings I was struggling with at the time: loneliness, insecurity, intense nostalgia. Feeling out of place in this new country.  

It’s imperfect and distorted. It’s streams of consciousness lyrics that sometimes make sense and sometimes don’t. They’re recordings I made with the intention of filtering out the bad bits. In the end, I think they work just as they are.

Where Leonard Used To Dance

So that’s it 
That’s all you can give ? 
It’s like you don’t exist 
When you’re so passive

You think you can’t help it
That I’m aggressive 
You think I’ll suck you thin 
Let the Wrong One In. 

I want you down to the core 
I want you bones and all 
It just makes me sick 
I’m like an unfed pig.

Sometimes you treat me like an apple:
You only want me when I’m fresh
You take the bites that you can handle 
And you throw away the rest.

I always took you as a whole 
-I never ever needed less 
I would have kissed you till you rotted 
And then cleaned up all the mess. 

But I’m just offal 
I’m just awful 
Did it have to be so unlawful

I wish I could raise you from the dead 
And there was nothing left unsaid 

I want all of you
I miss your voice and your spine 
I loved you body and mind 
I want everything we had 
I don’t care if it was bad 
I wanna take away the sad 
I wanna hold your hand. 

I loved you as a whole 
Even when it was cold 

I never went cold 
on you.

Core

Aura

On est né différents, un peu mal adaptés
Affligés par nos cœurs nos envies nos pensées
Un regard vers l'horizon puis je reviens sur tes yeux
Je m'y sens comme la maison,puis je pense même un peu mieux

J'connais pas ce sentiment mais tu bouscules mes pensés
Cette joie grandissante quand j’suis à tes côtés
Le souvenir de ton rire accompagne mon sommeil
J'capture ton visage pour t'avoir dans mes rêves 

Refrain

On se réchauffe sur nos joues et nos bras s’entrelacent
Les battement de tes cils éloignent le temps qui passe
On danse dans les méandres de nos bouches timides 
Et moi je tremble, apeuré, l'air est devenu humide

S’effondrer tout les deux comme une maison sur la côte
Où les vagues ont frappés et ont creusé le doute
Soupirer ensemble , on s'appuie sur nos côtes
La rougeur se dessine, sur nos fronts quelques gouttes

Refrain 

Si l'temps laisse ses traces, qu'on s'assume, qu'on se passe 
le flambeau de nos vies, l'étincelle dans nos yeux 
Sans ce soucier du reste, s'en foutre des "pour toujours" 
Juste vieillir à avec toi, c'est ce que je veux si t'es pour.

En levant le campement, on s'entraide à porter
L'héritage de nos vies, ce qu'on traine du passé
À marcher cote à cote, on regarde plus derrière
À deux on est plus fort pour traverser le désert

Refrain

Ne pars pas 
Je n'entends pas 
mon cœur qui bat
Sans toi j'existe pas

J'aimerais vivre entre tes bras
C'est si fragile
D'éclore la première fois

Beaches, kisses and near misses

Here we are again!! Another year, another warm invitation, to another festive sing-a-long!!! TIS THE SEASON OF SONG!!! ^-^

Hello everyone, I hope You are all doing okay in these ever-crazier times! This years song is about the longest night of the year, for me it is a time that brings cold, and dark, and snow, and quietude, and so the song is about accepting and embracing these things to experience the subtle magic that resides in the deepest darkest hours of the earths cycle (and our own cycles too!) I had planned for it to be soothing, but I got a little carried away with the tongue-twisty spirit. In any case, I had a lot of fun making it and would Love to have Your company to finish it!!! :D

So come lend Your voice (or anything else You might feel like adding!) As always, this song is the more the merrier, You don't need to be a great singer to sing on it, You can sing on any part You want, or make up Your own part, or add something other than Your voice! (including holiday greetings, pots banging, fireside crackles and cackles, decorative bells jingling, pine needles tickling an icicle, cats purrforming meows, or anything You can think of to participate!) It's all about sharing some warm hearted fun together!

I made the 'fa la la la' section simple for singing, but if that's a bit too much, feel free to just record Yourself saying "honeybun!" and I will joyfully place You with the other fresh baked honeybuns on the track! ^-^

The deadline to send in Your contribution is the night of Friday, December 19th (since it is a song about the longest night of the year which will be the 21st of December this year - in the northern hemisphere at least - I want to have at least a full day after everyone has sent in their files so that I can mix them all together nice and share it on the 21st!)

From here You can download the song if You need, then record Your voice however You like (a nice mic or just on Your phone works great too!), try to reduce background noises while recording and wear headphones or earphones if possible (to prevent the song from bleeding into Your voice file!), then send it to me however You can,

Then I'll take everything that everybody sends to me and make a nice big pot of song-soul-soup for us all to enjoy!

Custom Pencil Sketch Cover Art was done by Chelsea O., inspired by the song itself and by the people who fight for survival every day on the streets during these long, cold nights. Thank You for Your beautiful sketch and powerful inspiration <3

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

For the musical folks, the songs identity is generally in the key of Fmajor and definitely at 88bpm

The lyrics are here:

Fa la la la
Whoa Ho ho (ho)
Fa la la la
Rum pum pum (pum)

If You're bit by the bitter bug and still a bit bitter well I bet better days will come,
So why don't You come strum some of the fun ones and beat the humdrum honeybun?

This Longest Night
Will take its root
And bring us all the memories of our youth
This Longest Night
Will set its tone
cool enough to chill us to the bone

No known toes ever chose to be froze cold in a snow globe - case closed
But I suppose no foes nose ever glowed more than a doe's though so, here it goes!

This Longest Night
Will cast its spell
Ideas of ideals with No 'L'  /  Noël
This Longest Night
Will ampersand
Between Autumn & a Winter wonderland

The trees that blush as Autumn strips their leaves
and stars that tell us stories made of light
Above the frozen wishing well
well well well well
Stellar Bell(e)s of Noël yell

This Longest Night

Thank You, and I hope You can join me this year!!

Crispy Love and Humbug Hugs to You all!

Trying some new low-fi stuff out. Hope y’all enjoy the vibes ☺️

Sorry for the cringey vocals, would love to get some good pipes on this if anyone is interested. 

Lyrics
Forgot to mark the calendar 
Promethean surrender
If moment is a master
I lapidify the moment after

You canonize the wind and weather
It’s a pickup truck, a gourd in leather
A plush interior vacancy
I don’t know if you’re the one 
I don’t know if you’re the one for me
If you’re the one for me

A dream that took it close to heart
To break it clean is agony
I gladiate a word or two
And help us drag along

Who tells the tide to get in drive
Who clears the soul to look alive
You sheer away your julep tears
I don’t know where to start
I don’t know where to start with me
Where to start with me

Special
