Take this corner slow
We’ve got a ways to go now
Slipping up
Forty five

I wonder what Mr. Curtis looks like
Since he’s been put in the ground
I wonder if Mrs. Curtis still comes around

He cuts the drums
She plays the strings of horses
They’re making it work 
All the time

It’s a family affair
No need to outsource talent
A roof and a yard
I think they really got it yeah

There was never any question if the heart was true
Just like the cookie said they’d see it through oh

He cut the drums
She played the strings of horses

I keep chipping
I keep chipping away
I keep chipping
I keep chipping away
I keep chipping
I keep chipping away
I said

I keep chipping
I keep chipping away
I keep chipping
I keep chipping away
I keep chipping
I keep chipping away

I keep chipping
I keep chipping
I keep chipping away
I keep chipping
I keep chipping away
I keep chipping
I keep a chipping
Hold me cause I’m tripping

Leadership Assignment No. 2

Another grey arrival on display
Looking for a pill to save the witness
Looking out  I can see a distant shore
Looking down  I can pull up the hands of a statue  
Cause it’s you I admire
And I don’t wanna go down anymore
Cause you and me
We’re not happy here together all alone

Today I think I’ll eat my heart alone
But news from far
Comes back to you
Cause it’s you I admire
And I don’t wanna go down anymore
Cause you and me we’re not happy here together all alone

Well I’m a fan of you
I’ll make you soap and wash you down
From head to toe

A real life fan of you
I’ll make you soup and doll it out
Another bowl

You’ll never know the truth
Until you stop and wanna walk a little more

We’re standing on a rock
And you can scream it like you never screamed before

Real Life Fan

Let’s take another minute
To figure where we hid it
It wouldn’t walk away
At first we felt so clever
Just changing lives forever
You said it yourself

It’s hurting like it should
The walk will do us good  
We’ve done it again
My fists are wrapped in linen
The birds just started singing
It was never so late

Get to me
If you wanna give in
Get to Me
If you wanna give in
If you wanna give in

The moment seems to fit it
At least we’ll say we did it
It didn’t take so long
We’re clinging on to pleasure
For something sweet together
 But I feel forever full

Let’s spend some more time in the kitchen
We’ve done it before
It’s alright
I wanna hear the very worst of it
Cause is it working for you
Or is it just working for me
Cause then it’s not working for you

I can see into the dark side
I don’t know if I’m talking to you  
Or if you’re just
If you’re just dreaming 
What’s more than you
I don’t want to give in
I don’t want to give in
I don’t want to give in

Get to me
If you wanna give in
Get to me 
Let’s take another minute
To figure where we hid it
It wouldn’t walk away

Get to me
At first we felt so clever
Just changing lives forever
It’s hurting like it should
The walk will do us good
Honestly
Then honestly
If it’s too much for you then honestly
Then honestly
Just open open open up
Get to me

What’s more than you
What’s more than you
What’s more than you
If it’s too much for you then honestly
Then honestly

Get To Me

Lyrics: 

You got me a like a rainbow
Showing off all my colours
You lost me by the wayside
Honey I’ll run in circles

Turn around
Pour my heart into the grass
It’s over now 
The tiger caught a mouse at last

You you got a lot of magic
Waving around your fingers
Go take a little up time
Honey I’m right beside you

Turn around  
Light the faces going past
It’s over now
 The tiger caught a mouse at last

Time stretches out so endlessly
But you and I  
We’re checking in so tenderly
Me and you
Yes that’s me and you
On the other side
I’ll see you sometime

Turn around
Pour my heart into the grass
Its over now
The tiger caught a mouse at last

Turn around
Lay it down into the past
It’s over now
The tiger caught a mouse at last

Like a Rainbow

Very proud to release @l.marchal ‘s (dc11) “Pleasant Curve Mix” Move your bodies and warm your toes to this dreamy, stripped-down 90s house-inspired remix of my last single “Like a Rainbow”

dc11 and I first met after they played a mesmerizing modular live set in Berlin this past April. We talked into the early morning about seemingly everything. I was so struck by their openness, generosity and deep knowledge and respect for techno. What a joy it is to hear them run wild with some Telehorn stems.

Like a Rainbow (dc 11 Pleasant Curve Mix)

Like a cannonball
Thrown from your fingers  
Like an itching scar 
So seen 
So bright and eager 

It’ll make me 
It’ll make me 

Gunna set me off
That city life was not for me 
So bound 

It’ll make me 
It’ll make me 

Growing in a fit of love 
Now put your hand on me 
Partners in a treasure trove 
We’ll dig down endlessly 
And then we’ll say repeat 

You can send me off
Into the water 
Take a breath inside 
So warm 
So long 
So clear 

It’ll make me 
It’ll make me   
It’ll make me

Cannonball

I see you walk in your shadow 
When the words don’t fit in 
We jumped our heart 
And now we’re paying for the imposition 

Feet muddied stuck in the thought 
That we’ve been really slipping

You hold my face with your eyes 
To see what you created 

It’s easier

Your gripping onto the rail 
I know you’re on a mission 
Pushed down by time into layers 
So we can always visit

It’s easier 
It’s easier 

I saw eleven today
Yeah

It’s easier 
It’s easier 
It’s easier
