The Definitive Sheep Song

There is always another side.


Art by Stefan Keller

Dark One

Cover up?  I've nothing to be ashamed of
I'm growing up - I guess I am, well kind of
What you see is what you have forgotten
Enjoy the sight because I'm starting to go rotten

CHORUS
She saw me and I'm not fazed
We capsized in the old days

Poisoned chalice, but the venoms deep in your blood
Are you thinking?  I thought I heard a loud thud
Sink or swim, won't you please pass me the armbands
Picture me naked waving at my true fans

CHORUS

I’m Not Fazed

A cover (okay, let's call it a "remake") of the fabulous late-70s "E la luna bussò" by Loredana Berté. I used to play this one with a band a few years ago, and I immediately fell in love with the lyrics.

Obviously I have maneuvered myself out of the comfort zone once more --- apart from the usual walks on very thin ice with singing and trying to get meaningful notes out of a guitar, this time it is about Reggae and strings programming (both things that I have tried to avoid so far in my musical life). Anyway, if you think that violins and cellos do not fit to Reggae: yes, you are right.

Special thanks to Tyler Cressman for having proof-read the lyrics translation!

And the moon knock-knocked on the gloomy gates of darkness
"Come on let me in!" -- but they replied "no!"
So the moon went knockin' on the place where there was silence
But a rude voice yelled: "You're late and time's already up"
So the moon left the windows open and she went to find and see

To find and do something for the time being
After having shed some tears
About another "no", about some other "no"
From the ocean (you're nothing but a pond, man!)

And the moon knock-knocked on shaded glasses
But the look behind them didn't notice her
So the moon went and tried "knock-knock-knock-knock-knock" on a pool party
"Strictly members only, no exception for moons!"
So she rolled over champagne and caviar and she went to find and see

To find and do something for the time being
After having shed some tears
About another "no", about some other "no"
From a waiter
Oh no

But then down there, almost by chance
Closer to the sidewalk, where what you see is real
But then down there, where no moon needs to knock
Between the lashes of a child, to let him fall asleep
And then down there, between tatters, tears and love
Where luck is luxury: there we need you, moon!
And yes down there, almost by chance
Closer to the sidewalk, where what you see is real
Between the lashes of a child, to let him fall asleep
Between tatters, tears and rags, to let us fall in love:
there we need you, moon!

Etat De Résurgence - el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido

Just to let you know, we've changed our project name to Passion Arcade as we felt it described us better as a couple, and it having an 80s reference in there at the same time, just as our music (hopefully!).  Thanks for listening to our music!
Annie & Sander

Passion Arcade came into existence when Annie Smart (@annie-smart-1) and Sander Heerings (Wane of Summer @wane-of-summer) joined forces in 2019 to create some synthpop tracks. In no time we coughed up 12 tracks, so we decided to go for an album :)

Passion Arcade: 
Annie Smart - vocals, backing vocals
Sander Heerings - synths, programming, production
