La Myope et la Beauté

Un jour que je spleenais dans un train sans saveur,
Je vis, sur un des sièges, un vieux cahier laissé
Peut-être par un scribe en ce siècle égaré ;
Et ce wagon si terne a repris des couleurs.

Voici donc, sans mentir, ce qui était écrit :
La reine Cléopâtre avait une mangouste
Comme unique animal de douce compagnie
Plus chaude, s’il en est, qu’une froide langouste.

Mais Madame Mangouste, hormis d’être une flèche,
Beaucoup plus qu’une taupe, était tout à fait myope.
Dédaignant les lunettes, elle était sur la brèche
Comme va le montrer cette suite interlope.

À travers ses faux cils, la reine un soir contait 
La passionnante vie des archéoptéryx
Au petit Césarion qui, de loin, préférait
À ces récits barbants, les BD d’Astérix.

Mais c’était sans compter sa mangouste bigleuse
Qui confondit le haut de son royal diadème
Avec un vrai cobra d’une âme belliqueuse
À la gueule affamée comme après un carême !

Son grand cœur sur la patte, il fallait la sauver.
Agile, elle sauta, mais glissa sur le gel
Dont dame Cléopâtre à l’excès tartinait
Ses longs cheveux bouclés pour rester toujours belle.

Le mortifère croc mordit le cou d’albâtre
D’où, sur le marbre froid, tout le sang a gilé .
C’est ainsi que mourut la belle Cléopâtre
Par cause de myopie et d’excès de beauté.

J’ai voulu, en hommage au scribe sans délai,
Dans cette page où mon clavier neuf a serti
La copie rapportée dans ces quelques couplets
Offrir la vérité d’une histoire inouïe.

The Myopic and the Beauty

One day I was spleen in a train without flavor,
I saw, on one of the seats, an old notebook left
Perhaps by a scribe in this lost century;
And this so dull car took again colors.

Here then, without lying, was what was written:
Queen Cleopatra had a mongoose
As the only animal of sweet company
Hotter, if it is, than a cold lobster.

But Mrs. Mongoose, apart from being an arrow,
Much more than a mole, was quite short-sighted.
Disdaining glasses, she was on the alert
As this interloping suite will show.

Through her false eyelashes, the queen one evening told 
The fascinating life of the archaeopteryx
To little Caesarion who, by far, preferred
Asterix comics to these boring tales.

But it was without counting his mongoose
Who mistook the top of his royal tiara
With a real cobra of a warlike soul
With a mouth as hungry as after Lent!

Her big heart on her paw, it was necessary to save her.
Agile, she jumped, but slipped on the gel
With which Lady Cleopatra spread her long curly hair
Her long curly hair to remain always beautiful.

The deadly fang bit the alabaster neck
From which, on the cold marble, all the blood gelled.
It is thus that died the beautiful Cleopatra
Because of myopia and excess of beauty.

I wanted, in homage to the scribe without delay,
In this page where my new keyboard has set
The copy reported in these few verses
To offer the truth of an unheard story.

LYRICS
Ni tú sabrás por qué lo hiciste
Reinas detrás de la oscuridad jugando al despiste
Y ya no queda ni un minuto para poder cambiar

Ni tú vendrás ya con más cuentos
Si los demás ignoran todos tus lamentos
Lo que te espera es el camino hacia la eternidad
 
Sirena, rompe tus cadenas
Sirena, aprendiendo a ser la primera

Ni tú sabrás lo que te espera
Tu dignidad en la soledad de la carretera
Y ya no queda ni un minuto para poder cambiar

Y diles la verdad
No lo podrás cambiar
Vivimos para descubrir que esto no es un juego

Sirena, rompe tus cadenas
Sirena, domando las fieras
Sirena, reina entre tinieblas
Sirena, aprendiendo a ser la primera

Incineration is one of our early batch of songwriting ideas back from around 2014-ish. It's one of a kind song structure compared to the other tracks we had. It was originally played in full synth and distorted synth and our ears are used to it and thinking that a remake with a proper music instruments would take away it's charms. At first experiment, indeed it sounds less energetic. But after several tone adjustments and proper mixing, it sounds way bigger and more mature than the first prototype. This is "Incineration", feel our music passion burns and made you feel the heat!

Memories From The Past

Incineration (Of The Sins And Violence)

You’re the milk and honey in my steaming mug of tea
You’re the red hot chili peppers in my favorite spicy kimchee
I was sitting alone eating plain white rice
When you came to the table with a bowl of teriyaki

It’s the little things that make life big
It’s the little things that matter the most
It’s the little things that make me happy
It’s the little things you know it baby
It’s the little things that pack the biggest punch
It’s the little things that come along in bunches
It’s the little things that make life big
It’s the little things that matter the most

If I’m eating a burger, you’re my secret sauce
When I’m brushing my teeth you’re that minty dental floss
You’re the sparkles in my water the whiskey in my Coke
You’re my last ten dollar before I go broke

It’s the little things – a harmless little white lie
It’s the little things – a tiny bit of blue sky
It’s the little things – the sparkle in your eye
It’s the little things – whispered promises at goodbye

You’re the mushrooms in my ramen you’re the butter on my bread
You’re the lyrics in my song you’re the clever things I said
You’re the fine line between a win and a tie
You’re the moment at dusk the sun drops out of the sky

It’s the little things that make life big 
It’s the little things that matter the most
It’s the little things that make me happy
It’s the little things you know it baby
It’s the little things that pack the biggest punch
It’s the little things that come along in bunches
It’s the little things that make life big
It’s the little things that matter the most

It’s the little things – a harmless little white lie
It’s the little things – a tiny bit of blue sky
It’s the little things – the sparkle in your eye
It’s the little things – whispered promises at goodbye

Best Thing 4

Hello and welcome! I'm an independent composer, musician and producer from Düsseldorf/Germany. I played guitar and/or keyboards in various (rock/prog/indie/fusion/whatever) bands for years. Now I spend most of my time hanging out in the studio, creating tracks for video and TV content. Trying to be versatile, mixing and matching all kinds of genres I like.

It was quite a long way to get to this place. But now I'm here. Just listen.
