Nice Lark !

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Jingle Bell Rock

Passing Clouds

Mon cœur, comme un oiseau, voltigeait tout joyeux
Et planait librement à l’entour des cordages ;
Le navire roulait sous un ciel sans nuages,
Comme un ange enivré d’un soleil radieux.

I aimed for a caribbean feel using skank guitar, organ bubble, bass and percussion punctuated by a trombone chorus. I also added a sort of descant using a sampled accordeon to complement the voice. Overall I planned this as a response to what I could hear in the vocal line. For this reason the trombone riffs and snare patterns were totally improvised while listening to the voice.

Neev Seawall Remix (ath)

Aimée’s song is like a dream where things come together in strange ways: a bouncy  upbeat voice underpinned by minor harmonies ; lyrics that show both excitement and disquiet. I have tried to match this ambiguity by alternating Dr Phibes style organ chords with a sort of reggae/tango hybrid adding a couple of old-school solos for good measure. I see the ending as waking from the dream. I certainly had a lot of fun with this.

BE A DEVIL
 
(Bm/D/A/Bm) x 4
bridge: (C/Bm/C/Bm/C/Bm/C#7/F#7)
(Bm/D/A/Bm) x 2

Thinks she’s hot
With the black around her eyes
Tries to look bad
But she’s an angel in disguise

Sharpened up her nails
And filed her teeth
Nobody’s fooled
She’s a softie underneath

She shaved half her head
And she’s covered in tattoos
Inked all over
With reds and greens and blues

And she puts on clothes
Like the Whore of Babylon 
Such a nice girl
Ain’t seducing anyone 

Be a devil
Be a devil
Be a devil
Be a devil 

Gotta get evil
Gotta be more nihilistic 
Gotta break some rules
Gotta buy some darker lipstick

Gott love the darkness
And hate the light 
Gotta  be a devil 
And you’ll be all right.
