Exclusive first track of the new EP by VICTOR & The Rain Dog.

Rosalyn


Maddigan's Hotel on a blurry night
The bell boy slipped on the dreaming side
The key is on the lock and the red door creaks
Champaign, foamy water and purple lips
The ring on your middle finger is mine
There's a smoking halo on the venetian blind

Fresh blood pearling on the white tiles
Eyes wide open looking at the sky
Bright red lipstick on your lips
Your mouth is calling me, yet your mind is asleep
My hands on your cheeks a kiss and baby good night
I might see you again on the other side

When the elevator bell rings, I’m still there
Standing next to you my hands in your hair
I hear them calling out for me
They know about you and they think it was me

I jump out the window, screaming your name
Rosalyn baby you won't die in vain.

Neon light buzzing and the road is clear
One-eyed hooker, spying through the peep-hole
Jesus on the cross above the bar in tears
The room is quiet but the faces are mean
My man is at the snooker table, and I find myself out of control

I jump out the window, screaming your name
Rosalyn baby, you won't die in vain.

Texaco gasoline in the fuel tank
I’ll blow the whole place up and they'll remember my name.
A few wet matches do the job,
I will be the man known for beating the mob

And you Rosalyn,
From where you're standing,
You will hear me, singing your name
Rosalyn baby you won't die in vain

Rosalyn

ANCHOR & HOPE


They sold me a ship with a broken mast
Sails are torn-down & the rudder won't last. 

They told me to head it to the Japanese coast 
We talked buried treasures & Mexican ghosts.

I said I’m back in business, all I need is a crew,
I got a woman to save and a million for you

The room went quiet and they whispered my name,
They knew I’d be back but they didn't know when.

Me, setting sail, your shadow in my scope
My heart in your hands, your life up my sword

Tumbling boat on a tormented sea
Sharks are waiting for the dinner to be served. 
 Symphony of ravens on the upper desk
Like an angry god expecting to be heard.

They sold me a ship with a broken mast !
Sails are torn-down & the rudder won't last.

Flash of lightning, hungry waves
The sky seems to be falling on our heads.

The storm took it all, anchor and hope
But I’m still on my way on a little row boat.

Me, setting sails, your shadow in my scope
My heart in your hands, your life up my sword

Anchor & Hope

01 - MOVING WITH YOU

'Moving With You' is the title track for Victor & The Rain Dog's upcoming EP 'Den Of The Dog', out on 13th August 2015. 

The EP was funded through a succesful kickstarter that enabled the band to spend a few days in studio last April. Recorded as a five-piece (Cello, Vibraphone, Drums, Bass and Guitar), the five track EP takes on a slightly dark orchestral tone, without loosing the powerful Motown-esque groove inherent to the band’s music. 

VICTOR & THE RAIN DOG - MOVING WITH YOU

Victor & The Rain Dog

- Nomadic Rock : A music with no permanent home, always wandering in search of new inspirations.

Son of a French escapologist with a passion for Spanish guitars, Victor started off as a street performer in Paris.
In 2011 he moved to London and gathered musicians around his music and songs, creating a band able to assume various forms and shapes, making every show unique. 

At times explosive and theatrical, at others delicately moving, the band’s performances oscillate through upbeat latin grooves, bluesy rock sensibilities and Victor’s otherworldly fables.

In 2015, the band’s loyal fanbase supported a successful Kickstarter campaign which enabled Victor & The Rain Dog to record their second EP ‘Den Of The Dog’, coming out in August 2015. Recorded as a five-piece (Cello, Vibraphone, Drums, Bass and Guitar), the five track EP takes on a slightly dark orchestral tone, without loosing the powerful Motown-esque groove inherent to the band’s music.
