Wie viele seid ihr wirklich?

Wie viele seid ihr wirklich? (instrumental)

RIVIT holds no punches with the follow up to their debut "AWAY" with this crushing track. Driving guitars from Brian Hensley open and right away the rhythm tracks from drummer Shane Gaalaas set the pace and it never let's off. Holding down the low end on bass guitar the legend Tony Franklin gives us that  punch that he's known for.  From the moment you hear the vocals kick in from singer Nils Lawrence you know you are hearing that voice that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Jump on this track and more at www.rivit.rocks.

Le Grand Meaulnes, roman d'Alain Fournier, nous passionne depuis toujours avec mon frère Michel. Il a fait ce joli texte, que j'ai mis en musique et illustré par un pastel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVLgwA3F0Nw
Paroles: 
Hey Meaulnes, where are you,
Hey Meaulnes, where are you?

Jadis décembre 1800 et plus,
Frappait un grand étudiant pâle.
A la demeure originale,
D'un maître d'école qui n'est plus.
Un grand enfant qui s'évadait,
Qu'une adolescence transportait,
Et qui jamais ne parviendrait,
A quitter son monde parfait.
Il me faudra vivre sa folie,
Sans pouvoir ni vouloir guérir.
Et sans cesse dans mes souvenirs,
ces mots:
 
Hey Meaulnes, where are you,
Hey Meaulnes, where are you?

Aujourd'hui décembre 1900 et plus,
Je frappe de mes mains blanches,
Sur un passé dont les planches,
Craquent encore d'un bois de 1800 et plus.
Je cherche toujours la fête étrange
Dans le brouillard de mes années.
Mais elles ne seront jamais fanées,
Ces prairies ou je les range.
J'appellerai longtemps Frantz de Galais,
Avec mon âme nommée Seurel,
Et de tout mon être trop frêle,
Je saurai..

Hey Meaulnes, i am here,
Hey Meaulnes, i am here,
Hey Meaulnes, where are you,
Hey Meaulnes, where are you?

I Can't Avoid It! - A sad song about chucking the belongings of someone you loved when they've left!

Lyrics

I Can’t Avoid It

Your notebook falls upon the ground showing the things you need to do
Promises made to yourself to help pull you thorough
Your half-finished sketches show your skill in what you drew
Why did your doubts tighten the creative screw

Chorus 1
I can’t avoid it – removing them I have to do
I can’t avoid it – all these things remind me of you

Why didn’t you have confidence in what you could create
Why couldn’t I help you remove  that so depressing weight
That Crushed your spirit, still something I still hate

Chorus 2
I can’t avoid it – everything reminds me of you
I can’t avoid it – removing them I have to do
I have to make space – literally and in my soul
I have choices to make – to not fall down a deep dark hole. …

Bridge 
I’m disposing of our future time
All our possible futures – are now in the grime

All those plans and projects just left unfinished
All those hopes all those dreams all your light truly diminished
All your talents that you dismissed and casually put down
As in your doubts your ambition you let drown




I Can't Avoid It!

Has a sort of contemporary funk-rock vibe, I think. 

I’m never sure how to tag my tracks – but if you have a suggestion, let me know.

Thanks for listening!

Lyrics
[intro]
Yeah... I ain't sorry for this
Watch me burn, baby
(Ha ha ha)

[verse]
Bad to the bone and I know it
Hell is where I belong
Got these horns and I'm showin' em
Tell me that I'm so wrong
You can judge, I don't care now
Got the devil on speed dial
Sin so sweet when I'm round here
Made bad look like my style

[chorus]
Dancing with devils and loving the heat
(loving the heat)
Running with demons down every street
(down every street)
You can't save me, don't even try
Baby I'm bad and I'm living my life
Dancing with devils and loving the heat
(loving the heat)
Running with demons down every street
(down every street)
You can't save me, don't even try
Baby I'm bad and I'm living my liiiife

[verse]
Your heaven ain't made for me
Got no wings, got no halo
Hell's where I wanna be
Down low is where I'll go
Born bad, that's my nature
Fire running through my veins
Can't tame this behavior
Breaking all your chains

[bridge]
They say repent, but I say no
They say reform, but I say no
They say behave, but I say no
I say no, I say no, I say...
[chorus]
Dancing with devils and loving the heat
(loving the heat)
Running with demons down every street
(down every street)
You can't save me, don't even try
Baby I'm bad and I'm living my life

These song explore western philosophy inspire by Nigel Warburton's Book "A Little History of Philosophy" and I started writing them to aid my poor muddle memory.

Picked up the Electric Guitar during lockdown after 20 years and haven't looked back - why did I put it away!

Looking at recruiting a proper singer and other band members to make live music once again.

Writing music and playing guitars (inc bass) keeping me sane in a mad world!
