Again

From 8000 Miles’ 2nd album Crystal Confetti comes another tune that gets a bit philosophical. How often does your first response to a situation cause you to feel that your opinion is being challenged? Yeah, it can be often. Everyone has their own take on things and that can cause uncomfortable feelings between people. So, consider in those times, when it might be appropriate to not claim that you are “right”. Let it go. Compromise. Choose peace. After all, being right is usually just an opinion. Yes? Think: I don’t have to be right.

As you may notice, the cover art harkens back to a familiar cover from 1973 and that is intentional, because Andrea and Rebecca are strongly influenced by music from that time period. Many fans of 8000 Miles’ first album, Aggregate, have remarked on that influence. The title Crystal Confetti represents the clarity 8000 Miles is honing in their duo’s style and the contrast of weighted moods and flying inspirations.

The entire album, Crystal Confetti, has been released on Bandcamp. Go to https://8000miles.bandcamp.com to check it out and follow 8000 Miles on Bandcamp to get first notices of new releases.

Dark Days And The Rain

An evocative soft rock song with powerful, atmospheric instrumental.  

White Smoke

(English translation above)

Sa tête.

Qu’y a-t-il de plus accablant
Le matin, au réveil
De revoir comme un pénitent
Sa tête ?

Après une nuit pas très noire,
Au miroir malpoli,
Dans un Picasso, on peut voir
Sa tête.

Miroir, ô mon vilain miroir, 
Qui est le plus miro ?
Dis-moi qui, des deux, donne à voir
Sa tête ?

Qui a trop fumé sa boussole
Dans des rêves partis ?
Est-c’ qu’au pays des herbes folles
Ça tête ?

Moi, qui voudrais tant ressembler
À ma Barbie chérie,
Je fais tout pour photocopier
Sa tête.

Alors pour travestir mon âge,
Par quelques graffitis,
Je cherche dans mon maquillage
Sa tête…

Je sais que celle qui se pâme 
Est là, en personne, mais
En fait, je ne vois que de l’âne
Sa tête !

Ce pauvre tour de magicien
Vaut son pesant de fard
C’est pas grand-chose mais au moins
Ça t’aide.

Et comme ma vue perd ses verres
J’astique les miroirs
De cette société qui perd
Sa tête.

Approximate translation :

His head.

What is more overwhelming
In the morning, when I wake up
To see again as a penitent
His head?

After a dark night,
In the rude mirror,
In a Picasso, you can see
His head.

Mirror, O my wicked mirror,
Who’s the most gorgeous?
Tell me who, of the two, gives to see
His head?

Who smoked his compass too much
In a dream gone?
Is it in the land of the wild herbs
What are you thinking?

Me, who would so like to look
To my darling Barbie,
I do everything to photocopy
His head.

So to disguise my age,
By some graffiti,
I look in my makeup
His head…

I know the one who’s swollen
Is there, in person, but
In fact, I only see donkey
His head!

That poor magician’s trick
Worth his weight of blush
It’s not much, but at least
It helps you.

And as my sight loses its glasses
I polish the mirrors
Of this company that loses
His head.

Sa tête

Here and Gone

Tune penned by Roy Williamson (The Corries) in 1968. In March 1990, during the last match of the Five Nations Championship between England and Scotland, it has been played for the first time in Murrayfield, just before Scotland's victory.
In 1993, the Scottish Rugby Union decided that Flower Of Scotland will be played before every match to replace… God Save The Queen! 
The song celebrates the victory of the Scottish patriots against the English invasion during the first independence war (1296-1328). Led by Robert The Bruce, the Scottish army sent home the troops of the Proud King Edward II during the battle of Bannockburn (1314). The two wars of the 14th Century will lead to almost four centuries of Scottish independence.
The famous band "The Corries" penned this wonderful tune that became then the National Scottish anthem.
Here's my tribute to this amazing duet and their great song: it's part of track 1 of my "Scots Wha Hae" album released in January, 2022.
