The Firm - Dark Orchestral Suite

This one is about midnight on a warm summer night
                  about a sky full of starlight
                  about sweet little girl who didn´t come on hers first   
                  rendezvous 
                  about longing and loneliness
This one is about a youth that once touched us with its magical breath and than desappeared forever.

Ascaridida.com is a Trade, Retail and Finance firm that has a footprint all over the world. The firm fortune was built on a pyramidal business model using the Ponzi scheme as well as complex algorithm to find how to influence the purchasing behavior of their customers. The scheme is so simple and so common that nobody care or see it anymore. Combined with a very aggressive marketing strategy, the firm simply could not fail considering that 80% of the customers just can’t understand complex Terms & Conditions. Who read the small prints anyway? Who would believe that no one ever get back a full return on their investment made in their yearly subscription while still paying for the goods and services ordered over and above the subscription. Ascaridida’s doctrine is “In Fraud We Trust” and it pays big money that end up in a fiscal paradise. Obviously the board of directors of Ascaridida Corp. perfectly understood the rice and the chess board story and the power of exponential growth as they are using it every day. Would you know why 3 clear pyramid and one dark pyramid?

Ascaridida Corporation is an international parasite firm operating in this grey area where you wonder if what they do is legit or pure organized crime. Ascaridida’s doctrine is “In Fraud We Trust” and it pays big money that end up in a fiscal paradise. The main theme of this dark orchestral suite sets the ambiance of this damning story.

The Firm Main Theme

Track 3 of the Album https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite
The Firm has a very prolific pharmaceutical branch. It started many years ago when a colorful and buzzing crystal was invented by their chemist Brian Black aka Weissenberg. At that time cash was raining on the company but the firm had to stop that branding once the pharmaceutical business unit went on the stock market. With this well acquired expertise they now produce the most wanted opioid called the Pentanyl. Recently they started to produce vaccine, which generates revenue that greatly exceeds any possible expectations. They sarcastically called their new vaccine the Crysta Pentana. The suspicious thing about it is that everyone that had the new vaccine was so happy about it and wanted new shots over and over.  I guess it is due to the crystal manufacturing legacy of the firm.

The Firm manufacturing gem is the Silicon Island. Not only is it a fiscal paradise but also a semiconductor manufacturing pole on earth generating billions of dollars every month. The microchips produced on that island are the most performing in the world and can be found in anything such as phones, computers, cars, appliances, modern intelligent garments and even in those new and naughty programmable dildos. The Firm semiconductor market share is so great that they define the prices and can create a pseudo shortage in order to increase their price and thus their revenue. Recently an investigator discovered that the Firm had a suspicious relationship with the Totalitarian Republic of Nicha, which created the latest virus spread in order to disturb the world economy for the benefit of the Firm Ascaridida.

Track 5 of the Album https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-firm-dark-orchestral-suite
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the Firm Ascaridida had in 2019 the smart idea to have one of his laboratories in the Republic of Nicha to leak a virus in order to enhance his pharmaceutical businesses with new vaccines. Not only did it generate billions of dollars of new revenue but it also killed millions of people. The smart idea just backfired at him. Indeed, all his board of director and his own family died because of this virus leak. He is now alone to run this billion dollar firm having a footprint everywhere on the world. Will he be able to get The Firm back on its evil tracks in 2022? 
We shall see.

The CEO Lonely Christmas

Lion's Share

Christmas in March! Why not? :) I was amazed that this song became one of my most liked and most reposted songs. Recently, I also got a very sweet message requesting me to release the acoustic version! So, lo and behold, the acoustic version of Take a Chance!

This acoustic version captures exactly how it sounded in my head when I wrote it at work on my lunch break, and also how it sounded as I sang it to myself over and over again for the entirety of my shift. Bold vocals, soft harmonies, and the simplicity of an acoustic guitar.

Lyrics french/english
------
A quel moment on dit stop 
Quand est ce qu'enfin on crie stop 
Pour faire cesser les coups
Stopper la main d'un fou

Quand est ce qu'on se se rend compte
Qu'il faudra qu'on l'affronte
Qu'on s'est mis à genou
Mais qu'a t'il fait de nous 

A quel moment on dit stop 
Mais qu'est ce qui fait qu'on crie stop 
Et quand est ce qu'on arrête
D'avoir peur de la bête 

Mais faut il une image choc
Pour qu'enfin le silence stoppe
Pour qu'un sursaut d'un coup
Nous dresse contre le loup

A quel moment on sent
Comme un bruit entêtant
Qui n'arrêtera jamais
Que tout cela est vrai

Que ce n'est pas normal
Que ce n'est pas banal
Qu'il faut se réveiller
Qu'il va falloir lutter

Que c'est le mal dedans
Que c'est lui au présent
Qui nous fait tant souffrir
Qui voudrait nous faire fuir

Mais qui est ce soldat
Mais que fait il là-bas
Pourquoi on ne m'entend pas
Mais qui empêchera ça

A quel moment on dit stop 
Mais qu'est ce qui fait qu'on crie stop 
Et quand est ce qu'on arrête
D'avoir peur de la bête 

Mais faut il une image choc
Pour qu'enfin le silence stoppe
Pour qu'un sursaut d'un coup
Nous dresse contre le loup

Mais ce n'est pas normal
Mais ce n'est pas banal

Que faut il sacrifier
Des valeurs qu'on avait
De cette estime de soi
Qu'on arborait parfois

Avant de basculer
Sans plus rien calculer
Et lever haut le bras
Accepter le combat

A quel moment on dit stop 
Mais qu'est ce qui fait qu'on crie stop 
Et quand est ce qu'on arrête
D'avoir peur de la bête 

Mais faut il une image choc
Pour qu'enfin le silence stoppe
Pour qu'un sursaut d'un coup
Nous dresse contre le loup

When do we say stop 
When do we finally say stop 
To stop the beatings
To stop the hand of a madman

When do we realize
That we'll have to face him
That we're on our knees
But what has he done to us 

At what point do we say stop 
But what makes us cry stop 
And when do we stop
To be afraid of the beast 

But do we need a shocking image
For the silence to finally stop
For a sudden burst of energy
Raise us up against the wolf

At what point do we feel
Like a nagging noise
That will never stop
That all this is true

That this is not normal
That it's not banal
That we must wake up
That we'll have to fight

That it's evil inside
That it's him in the present
That makes us suffer so much
Who would like to make us run away

But who is this soldier
But what is he doing over there
Why can't I be heard
But who will stop it

At what point do we say stop 
But what makes us yell stop 
And when do we stop
To be afraid of the beast 

But do we need a shocking image
For the silence to finally stop
For a sudden burst of energy
Raise us up against the wolf

But it's not normal
But it's not banal

What must be sacrificed
Of the values we had
Of that self-esteem
That we used to have

Before you fall apart
Without calculating anything more
And raise your arm high
Accepting the fight

At what point do you say stop 
But what makes you yell stop 
And when do we stop
To be afraid of the beast 

But do we need a shocking image
For the silence to finally stop
For a sudden burst of energy
Raise us up against the wolf

A quel moment on dit stop ?

The Orange Barron (the Ascaridida Firm CEO) finally decided to run for his country presidency just after reading again Adolf Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf”. His doctrine “In Fraud We Trust” has never been so true. His admiration to Ken John-two, Voldimir Toopin and other dictators makes him dream of being the greatest dictator of all time. Guess what, he may soon appear one day in front of a church close to the Black House holding a bible over his shoulder as a salute just like Hitler did 87 years ago.
