PRACTICE (REMIX) Feat. LORD MOB Di

A melodic drumstep piece, featuring Jenny Lelek. This song took an immense amount of careful thinking to make, and I think it paid off. Enjoy <3

Candidate and I have been very good friends throughout our years of high school together. We've shared many memories together. From touring with our high school band, to collaborating on an EP, to having talks about our lives late at night, we've supported eachother through challenges and hardships. With the school year starting, and Candidate beginning his freshman year of college, we decided to put together some songs to represent our friendship. This small EP is an homage to 3 years of camaraderie. We hope you enjoy it!

LYRICS:

All around, all around me
Tidal waves crashing down into the sea
I see the walls surrounding
Can’t see what lies underneath
I see you standing there
Suddenly it all becomes so clear
My shadows disappear
Oh, all I need is

Your light, bright as the blue sky
True as the reason why it’s so hard to let go of you
Blinded by my reflection,
Cold as the nighttime
Freezing, I shivered and realized that  
I had hurt you and killed you inside
You gave me your heartbeat,
Said it was mine and now you’ve
Left and you’ve saved yourself from my knife, oh 
Your love will haunt me for life 

I know you’re gone, and you can’t see
All of the things that you meant to me
I know I’m broke, down to the core
Waiting for hope to come and meet me at the door
But I’ll be here, I’ll never leave
I’ll try to understand that what I need
The remedy, what my heart needs was
locked inside of you.
I don’t care, I still love you
And I still need you.

Your light, bright as the sunrise
Guides me through dark times
Shields me from all of my demons your
Fortress, made of emotions
Keeps me away and
Stops me from breaking your heart, now I’m
outside, trapped for the rest of my life
They say I’ll move on but they
Know that I’ll die now that you’ve
Left and you’ve saved yourself from my knife, oh 
Your love will haunt me for life 

I know you’re gone, and you can’t see
All of the things that you meant to me
I know I’m broke, down to the core
Waiting for hope to come and meet me at the door
But I’ll be here, I’ll never leave
I hope you’ll understand that what I need
The remedy, what my heart needs is
locked inside of you.
No matter what they say, I still love you
And I still need you.

Shattered (feat. Jenny Lelek)

"À la claire fontaine" ("By the clear fountain »),  a traditional french song.  🎈

Thanks to Gilles Charlois, who plays the guitar on this song.

Gilles passed away a few months ago. But his love for music and playing guitar, and all the music he has played are still living with us. 

I dedicated this song to his family and friends.

Imagine that on a sunny Sunday you are walking in a splendid nature. Then, you see, in a hidden place, "a clear fountain"  …an infinite shades of blue in the crystal clear water, mottled by light's refraction. Wouldn't you crave for a bath here ? 
I know I would ! 

Just the title of this song is a call to beauty and reverie. 

When I learned this song as a child, I never realized how nostalgic it was. Probably because, at this time, I only knew the first stance and the chorus. Indeed, the character evolves in a delightful setting - that I try to recreate sonically - but all the exterior pleasantness contrasts with the interior emotional landscape, made of mourning and nostalgia. I chose to sing only the 3 first stances because I didn't want to reduce this universal experience of nostalgia to a particular case or event. And at this point of the song, it remains rather vague. I wanted to keep the meaning of the song that way.

This song reminds me that life is an inner experience. When sadness fills the mind, as it is for the character in that song, even the most cheerful song of a bird can be a highlight to pain.  « Your heart is made for laughing….Mine, it can only cry »

Also, for having experienced loss like everyone else. There is no nostalgia in losing something painful and harmful. On the contrary, we feel a relief.  And most of the time, there is no will to turn back to that kind of memories. If a remembrance comes, it is by haunting. 
When we experience, most of the time, with perfectly imperfect being, benevolence, honesty, good will, a bit of empathy or any other things that we feel valuable in life : This kind of loss is bitter-sweet. 
Bitter, for a short time, because the weaning is not fun. And sweet, for a long time, because of the gratitude and the valuable memories. 

Surely, on a big scale, all this experiences, all of them are equally useful and informative.
But with all my heart, I hope you will learn what you need to learn from life, through enthusiasm, bravery, boldness and inspiration and not pain, threats, violence, constraints and damage. 
And if pain really is unavoidable, may it be the bitter-sweet one.

This is my wish.

Paroles 

À la claire fontaine 
À la claire fontaine
M'en allant promener,
J'ai trouvé l'eau si belle
Que je m'y suis baignée.
 
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
Jamais je ne t'oublierai.
 
Sous les feuilles d'un chêne
Je me suis fait sécher,
Sur la plus haute branche,
Un rossignol chantait.
 
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
Jamais je ne t'oublierai.
 
Chante, rossignol, chante,
Toi qui as le cœur gai.
Tu as le cœur à rire,
Moi, je l'ai à pleurer
 
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime
Jamais je ne t'oublierai.

À La Claire Fontaine
