Guest Star Lover (Lyrics)

Guest star lovers, songs and broken hearts,
Drink together, sing and drown your thoughts,
Love, live, run, never look back
Take a chance, lose control, sell your heart

Please...don’t leave me
See...right through me
Please... believe me
See...it’s not easy…

You want to make believe…but guest stars always bleed
You want your liberty…what else could it be?
Loneliness since birth…death by a thousand hurts
Now you want to play the lead…’cause guest stars always bleed…

Guest star lover seems like yesterday, we were together…
please can you stay
I dreamed forever you would never go, am I forgiven?...
guess we’ll never know…
Take cover, find another who’ll love you better…
It’s what gets you through
You recover like no other…
guest star lover…

Please...don’t leave me
See...right through me
Please... believe me
See...it’s not easy…

You want to make believe…but guest stars always bleed
You want your liberty…what else could it be?
Loneliness since birth…death by a thousand hurts
Now you want to play the lead…cause guest stars always bleed…

You sailed the seven seas…walked the Pyrenees
Since you were seventeen…lies were guaranteed
Don’t want to die alone...chills you to your bones
Now you want to play the lead…cause guest stars always bleed…

Guest stars always bleed...
Guest.. stars…bleed…

'Clear signs' is a mournful track which deals with memory loss. The sentiment comes from time spent in a dementia unit with my Grandfather. This is a setting many of us have been confronted with. In my experience, there were glimpses of clarity and beauty, especially when singing old songs together. This song is a collaboration with my friend Robbie. It is Robbie on vocals, euphonium and percussion. I provided the guitars, mandolin and most of the lyrics. Full lyrics below:   

Fades in, fades out
Checks in, checks out
Clear signs are hard to find
Through the static

Tunes in, tunes out
Drops in, drops out
Clear signs are hard to find

An old friend brings a faded memory
A sweet song sings a soothing melody
Blue skies are calling through the clouds
Sundown and shadows crowd around
 
Tunes in, tunes out
Flows in, flows out
Hard signs are clear to find

Ease in, ease out
Glide in, glide out
Clear signs I here define

Cuts in, cuts out

Clear Signs

Listen to your mama
'S what was said to me
Ain't like your papa
Shame creepin' up on me

With every cell of my body
And the strongest might
I fought with pride and indignation 
To prove that I was right
Till I won
Then I lost
Now I look in the rear view mirror
As I say
Hmmm…

Listen to the angels
That bless us from the sky
Believe in heaven
Don't catch the devil's eye

I pushed away any notion
Of a faith-filled soul
Then the news beamed horror stories
Of war-ravaged homes
What did I do to be deserving
But they didn't?
Now I catch myself sneaking glances up above
To say
Hmmm…

Life gives us chances 
But life is too short 
Time is a band-aid
Wouldn't you rather move on

So if you find yourself questioning the rights and wrongs of life
Maybe take a breath and one step back
And say
Hmmm… 

Take a step back
I'll say
You'll say
We'll say
They'll say

"Dark Ascent" dives into the unexplored depths of post-rock, where each note is a step into a dark and compelling world. With this track, I revisit the melancholic atmospheres I cherish, while incorporating a darker dynamic and a sharper rhythm. The long build-up, punctuated by striking guitar riffs and enveloping synthesizers, reflects a personal journey towards discovering bold and profound sounds. This title marks a new milestone in my musical quest, exploring how tension and resolution can translate into emotional power and resonance.

Dark Ascent

Les couleurs de l’amour

De quelle couleur est ton amour ?
Par quel détour est-il menteur ?
S’il est trop blanc
C’est un enfant
S’il est trop vert
C’est qu’il espère
S’il n’est que bleu
C’est pour les yeux
S’il est trop gris
Il n’est qu’esprit
S’il est trop noir
Y a plus d’espoir

Refrain :
Moi, je préfère le rouge
Parce que le rouge, ça tache
Tout comme mon cœur s’attache
Bien plus qu’un arbre à sa souche

De quelle couleur est ton amour ?
Par quel détour est-il menteur ?
Trop incolore
Il s’évapore
Trop éclatant
C’est aveuglant
Trop bigarré
Faut l’éviter
En demi-teinte
L’amour s’éreinte
Et trop brûlé
Faut l’enterrer
(refrain)

De quelle couleur est ton amour ?
Par quel secours est-il sauveur ?
Couleur câlin
J’aime ses mains
Couleur bougeoir
Dans ton regard
Couleur confiance
C’est l’évidence
Couvert d’honneurs
C’est le bonheur
S’il dure toujours
C’est bien trop court
(refrain)

The colors of love

What color is your love?
How is it deceitful?
If it's too white
It's a child
If it's too green
It means he hopes
If it's only blue
It's for the eyes
If it's too gray
It's only spirit
If it's too black
Y a plus d'espoir

Chorus :
Me, I prefer red
Because red stains
Just like my heart
Much more than a tree to its stump

What color is your love?
How is it deceitful?
Too colorless
It evaporates
Too bright
It's blinding
Too variegated
Avoid it
In half-tone
Love burns out
And too burnt
You have to bury it
(chorus)

What color is your love?
By what help is it saviour?
Cuddly color
I love his hands
Candlestick color
In your eyes
The color of trust
It's obvious
Covered in honors
It's happiness
If it lasts forever
It's far too short
(chorus)

Il n’y a rien à voir

Sur la jetée de mon papier grimoire
Des rimes jetées
Qui s’arriment à la brume
Mon brouillard en errance
Posé sur un papelard
Il n’y a rien à voir
Sur la jetée de mon papier miroir
Des embruns jetés
Mes pensées que j’écume
Mon brouillard en partance
Sur mon papier bavard
Il n’y a rien à voir

Refrain :
Sur le journal où je m’épanche
Il n’y a rien à voir
J’écris à l’encre blanche
Sur un papier ivoire

Sur la jetée de mon papier mémoire
Souvenirs lancés
Mes vieilles balançoires
Les brouillons de l’enfance
Sur mon papier buvard
Il n’y a rien à voir
Sur la jetée de mon papier du soir
Encre blanch’ jetée
Comme une pleine lune
Qui s’élance en plein jour
Sur un papier blafard
Il n’y a rien à voir

Refrain :
Sur le journal où je m’épanche 
Il n’y a rien à voir
J’écris à l’encre blanche
Ma plume a peur du noir

There's nothing to see

On the pier of my grimoire paper
Discarded rhymes
That dock with the mist
My wandering fog
On a piece of paper
There's nothing to see
On the pier of my mirror paper
Spray thrown
My thoughts that I foam
My departing fog
On my chattering paper
There's nothing to see

Refrain :
On the newspaper where I pour out my heart
There is nothing to see
I write in white ink
On ivory paper

On the pier of my memory paper
Thrown memories
My old swings
Childhood drafts
On my blotting paper
There's nothing to see
On the pier of my evening paper
Bleached ink thrown away
Like a full moon
That rises in broad daylight
On a pale paper
There's nothing to see

Refrain :
On the newspaper where I pour out my heart 
There's nothing to see
I write in white ink
My pen is afraid of the dark
