hey there my friend 
I want to see you in a beautiful light 
I don't want to see you 
just fade into the night 

I should be braver 
and I should fear becoming numb 
to the things that I see you do 
'cos I care who you become. 

I should be braver 
I should be braver 

I'm a part of who you are 
like you're a part of me 
and my foundations in this world 
were built dependently 
upon a notion that my friends 
would carry me through life 
so if I watch you fall apart 
then everything unwinds 

I should be braver 
I should be braver 

and I hope to see you make it work 
I hope to see you thrive 
I wanna see you feeling joy 
each day you are alive 
so when I don't feel up to it 
I can look to you and see 
the image of a person 
I can aspire to be 
so I should tell you that you are better 
I should tell you that you are more 
to be kinder to yourself 
you're more important than you thought 
I should tell you that I need more people 
like you in my life 
I should tell you that I want to see you 
in a beautiful light. 

hey there my friend 
I want to see you in a beautiful light 
I don't want to see you 
just fade into the night 
I should be braver 
and I should fear becoming numb 
to the things that I see you do 
'cos I care who you become 

hey there my friend 
I want to see you in a beautiful light 
I don't want to see you 
just fade into the night 
I should be braver 
and I should fear becoming numb 
to the things that I see you do 
'cos I care who you become 

I should be braver 
I should be braver 
I should be braver

Braver

Lyrics:
The last souls
In the flying labyrinth
The rainy filth 
Reacts with the sin

Tweed, simple life
Monotony still feeds
The warning strings
Won’t ever compete

Alphain 3x
All Fine
Life is just a game.
Level up!
Alphain

The new souls
Love the gloss
Of a clouded mess
Lost its chaos

Sit, miss TV
Spit while choking
Dip into sea
Dig the lifejoking

Kind of kind people
See my friends
They are kings
To the bitter end
Kind of kind people
Seem my friends
They are kinks
To the bitter end

Hypar Redux

Old song/demo. too old to work on anymore and won't see the light of day in any other format. 

Daniel Rossen - Untitled (December 2009)

This one is from January 2011 around the same time as a few of the EP songs. it's not exactly finished, the lyric is rough, but I still enjoy what it is and eventually this song lead to other tunes on the EP and on Shields that I'm happy with. It's a wintery New York song to me, it reminds me of home. And at this particular moment I miss home, and I feel like I should be there after all that's happened recently. So there it is. 

Not Coming Back

Warren Hildebrand (aka Foxes in Fiction) and Thomas Meluch (aka Benoît Pioulard) have been acquaintances for a number of years, brought together by their shared presence on Brooklyn's Moodgadget imprint.  Meluch's first-ever release was the Enge 7" (2005) for that label, and Hildebrand later made a splash with his debut LP Swung from the Branches (2010).  During a solo tour of North America in 2010, Meluch played Hildebrand's hometown of Toronto and invited him along on the following day's journey to Montreal, during which the two became fast friends and the idea of a collaboration began to take shape.  Some months later they finally began exchanging songs and files, eventually building up to the two epic pieces heard on this, their debut 7" for Wool Recordings.
"Since a young age, Thomas Meluch has been fascinated by natural sounds and the textures of decay. He began playing piano before his feet could reach the pedals, and for more than a decade has sought to create a unique sonic environment by combining remnants of pop song structures with the lushness and unpredictability of field recordings. A veteran drummer of a half dozen bands and an avid collector of instruments and analog devices, Meluch relies on guitar and voice as the bases for his work as Benoît Pioulard."
