The Hollow Hills

A song about a lost friendship

Standing in the fire 
by Lilli A. 

You were like a shadow
that followed me in the sun.
But when I stood in darkness,
Somehow you always were gone.

It hurts to let it go
like you did long time ago
when you dragged my name through muck and mire.
 
I'm standing in the fire. 
I am burning (inside)
and you’ve inflamed 
my pain.

I'm standing in the fire 
that you lit.
I’ve had enough of it it!
I quit (and I’ll walk away).
 
We were never right for each other.
I’ve learned the hard way, of course.
I blame myself for expecting too much.
My mind is trying to understand yours.

It's good to let it go.
Should've done so long time ago
when you dragged my name through muck and mire.

I'm standing in the fire. 
I am burning (inside)
and you’ve inflamed 
my pain.

I'm standing in the fire 
that you lit.
I’ve had enough of it it!
I quit.

I know they say never say never,
I just don’t see us together.
I don’t wanna see your face again
cause you are no longer my friend.
nana na naa na naa na na na
nana na naa na naa na na na.
I don’t wanna see your face again
cause you are no longer my friend.

I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
that you’ve inflamed.

I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire.

Standing In The Fire

The final track of the album. This song is my tribute to Dusty Hill. The bassist and co-lead singer of one of the coolest bluesrockbands of all time: ZZ-Top. Dusty's bass playing was a critical part of ZZ-Top's sound for over 50 years and he also complemented the showmanship of Billy in an excellent way. His lead and backingvocals were also a big factor and the synchronicity with Billy made every show a great spectacle. After a period of declining health, Dusty passed away in 2021 during his sleep at the age of 73. Thank you for all those years of great music, videos, entertainment and inspiration.

The Next Level

Dust In The Hills

Montez à bord de notre pédalo ! Jump on our pedalboat !

Lyrics (translation test) Climatic ballad!

It’s not normal
It’s way too hot
Tropical days for everyone
Glaciers melting too soon
The southern lands already drowned
We’re cutting down trees / we’re digging underwater
Only To stuff one animal
In our not-so-global fishbowl
Soon, no stream will flow anymore
On my banjo
I couldn’t care less
I do like the birds, like the cicadas
On my banjo
I’m trying hard
I do like the birds, like the cicadas
Despite tropical cyclones
They invite you to dance on cruise ships
In the newspaper, on the radio
They praise the frugal, they sell you the warehouse
Turn on the AC, switch on the fan
Or play Russian roulette at the casino
We all want to die as eco-friendly men
But not too fast, as Georges sang at Bobino
On my pedal boat
I’m the one pedaling
No more birds, no more cicadas
On my pedal boat
I’m trying hard
No more birds, no more cicadas
A banal depressing ballad
Great fatigue from these scenarios
Wanting to bury my head in the sand
Dancing a ballet of daft ostriches
On my banjo I’m hurting myself
No more birds, no more cicadas
On my pedal boat, I’m the one pedaling
When there’s no more water, we’ll all be in the hold

Tha Boss with Tha Sauce

Turn that heater up let’s thaw and defrost
heat up that grill as the beat comes across
Blazing out your speaker yeah I’m here to set it off
and of course I keep it dope tha boss with the sauce
like tha boss with the sauce

Seems like they’re all trying to fix me but the mix be dope
I ain’t a rich motherfucker but I sure ain’t broke
I focus on my vision hold on to my hope
this is my life bitches not a practical joke
Ain’t never going to stop keep up stay woke
and don’t act like I owe you cause I put in the work
Ain’t stroking no Egos fuck it if you can’t cope
I’m just doing me and I know the truth hurts
like tha boss with the sauce (X2)

On point won’t stop the game’s not done
I’m coming through step aside or better yet run
if you’re too sensitive go on ———gone
trying to stay positive now let’s get along
Underground independent is how I get down
check the narrative it’s on —-it’s on
how many lives I live sum it up one
how many fucks I give sum it up none
like tha boss with the sauce (X2)

Don’t hate the hustle or the player———-hate the game———-hate the game
it’s easy when you’re judging from the outside ——looking in
recognize the obstacles———suggest you learn the name
still thinking I’m a target —— check your aim—— check your aim
like tha boss with the sauce (X2)

On point won’t stop the game’s not done
I’m coming through step aside or better yet run
if you’re too sensitive go on ———gone
trying to stay positive now let’s get along
Underground independent is how I get down
check the narrative it’s on —-it’s on
how many lives I live sum it up one
how many fucks I give sum it up none
like tha boss with the sauce (X2)

«A distant call for a close encounter.
The Salamandra Duo presents us with a true and complete instrumental dialogue: At times questioning, at others imperative, but always peremptory
in the nuances of rhythm and the layers of dialogue it offers us».
𝘕𝑢𝘯𝑜 𝑀𝘢𝑛𝘨𝑎𝘴 𝘝𝑖𝘦𝑔𝘢𝑠

«Distant Call is an album created remotely, cooked about 2 years ago by drum recordings by João Svayam (three drum tracks) and the additions of various instruments by Leonel Cardoso (who recycled these three drum tracks to create these themes that we have here today, in addition to other b sides). By that time both were collaborating on a improvisation band called Salamandra, connected to our sister label Partícula Records.
Distant Call is just like a time travel: between pure science fiction and impossible-to-deny facts born from any conspiracy theory.»
𝘕𝘢̄𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶

«As if two salamanders from a larger group decided to create a new flock to explore more individual questions of their existence, this Distant Call was born. It's not the first, and it certainly won't be the last, Salamandra album that I've been asked to listen to and write about... And I always have this feeling of fulfillment and certainty that everything in the Universe is in its correct order: even when it involves some pathology of dissociation. An amazing work of recycling sounds»
