Intimate storyteller Cara Mayer delivers tales of 'stolen kisses' in a sublime daydream of pastoral sounds. Exploring the intersections between overlapping sounds and structured song, Cara intricately blends personal and found field recordings with a unique assortment of curiously charming folk music. A beautifully obscure journey through buzzing and humming streets, in gleeful procession of Cardboard Lamb.

"This mix is about stolen songs – music overheard in the street; 
sounds that drift between song and half-song. 

A car playing salsa as it passes you,
a service in St. Peter’s Basilica,
an owl, a cricket;
subway buskers,
restaurant owners,
ice cream trucks,
Christmas markets…

I hope to pay a small homage to the fissure, to blur the boundary between the two; to send a big bright cotton bud to unclog your ears and expand the notion of ‘song’."

sigo en el bucle
perdio en el mar
he vuelto a verte
no fue casualidad.

tiro los dados
siempre sale zero
soy un pringao
no valgo ni un centimo

no todas las epocas
son para crecer
a veces necesitas
recuperarte

sigo en el bucle
perdio en el mar
he vuelto a verte
no fue casualidad

vuelvo donde estaba
y creo que me encanta
si estas a mi lao
ya no siento la ansiedad

casualidades

20 ans (réinterprétation de la chanson de Léo Ferré) démo

Energy Vampire

Intro
 I see through your disguise
Feeding off your lies
But you won’t survive standing in my light
(Energy vampire)

V1
You take my kindness for weakness 
My smile for a curse, but I am well-versed 
In your kind— 
You steal the light then call me dim
The victim of your sin
But I see truth behind your mirrors 
You’ll pay your dues for my tears

C
Vampires
Crawling all around me  
Syphon off my energy
Try to make a name off my pain
Can’t drain what’s so divine 
I won’t make you famous in my mind
Energy vampire
Energy vampire 
Energy vampire

V2
You wear my pain like a badge 
Twist the story for applause 
But karma’s creeping in 
With fangs and claws
You haunt the weak, you fear the strong 
You think I’m meek, 
But I’ve known you for so long

C
Vampires
Crawling all around me  
Syphon off my energy
Try to make a name off my pain
Can’t drain my soul divine 
I won’t make you famous in my mind
Energy vampire
Energy vampire 
Energy vampire
