Step outside,
Live my life,
Dance with me,
Spit your fire,
Hold head high,
Light your eyes,
Laugh at fear,
Laugh at lies.
Fight no more,
Grow your soul,
Think you’re free,
Free your core,
Play the fool,
Break the rules,
Count to three,
Rise up in the light!
Step inside,
Live your life,
Talk with you,
Smouldering fire,
Hold head tight,
Close your eyes,
Strangle fear,
Strangle lies.
Fight for more,
Blow your soul,
Set you free,
Trust your core,
Play your tools,
Set your rules,
Grow your tree,
Branches to the sky!

My own weight to carry
My own ways to decide
And my sins to bury or to reveal, choice is mine
Never should anyone
Not even you, not even you,
Take the blame for my pain
What I hold in my chest
My life, my love, my weaknesses,
Radiates from under my skin
I, the owner of my guilt,
Carry the burden of my flaws,
Am the builder of my chains
And here we are, covered with ashes,
Hollowed by unsubstantial feelings,
Under conventional acceptance
Am I real or am I slowly
Diving in delusion?
[Chorus] Come, emptiness! be our vessel unfilled
Come, stillness! and make our limbs unmoving
[Voice] I feel the pain, embracing pain, embracing anger, I feel no fear.
When grounds shake, should we blame the Earth?
When lightning strikes, should we blame the Sky?
I’m a piece of the game
I’m a piece of the game
I’m a piece of the game.

Get Lost

Broken, lost, terrified,
Forgetting rules of peace,
Unattainable paradise.
Loosing faith, loosing patience.
What comes next? What comes now?
One more dreamless night?
Forget rules, forget time and get past,
Forget me, forget them and get past,
Forget roots, forget gravity…
Another lane, another step and you’re passed,
Another word, another tale and you’re passed,
Another home, another land, another day!
Forget rules, forget time and get lost,
Forget me, forget them and get lost,
Forget roots, forget gravity…
Another lane, another step and you’re lost,
Another word, another tale and you’re lost,
Another home, another land, another day!
No, no no. I must get back on the ground,
Even further, down to the underground.
Hidden, in a place no one can find.
Here, in my night, I feel safe,
No more fight, no more fight.
However low, however high, we are one
However dark, however bright, we are one
However cruel, however sensitive,
Now in a pit, then in the light, we are one
Taking a hit, having a fight, we are one
Even a fool, even a cheat, even a saint.
Forget rules, forget time and get lost,
Forget me, forget them and get lost,
Forget roots, forget gravity…
Another lane, another step and you’re lost,
Another word, another tale and you’re lost,
Another home, another land, another day!

Fire and Ashes

Fire and Ashes, boundaries of our mind (however smart we are)
Fire and Ashes, through the ages of life (however old we are)
Burning cinders once again on our heart (ripping flesh, drying blood)
And those endless fires call the ruin of all love (however strong is our spine)
Beware, beware, beware now
Blades and lashes penetrate our skin (however hardened we are)
Fights and crashes dislocate our soul (however pure we are)
Scars and slashes decorate our mask (drawing lines, carving cracks)
We know Fires and Ashes will remain in our core (however bright is our light)
Beware, beware, beware now
Fire and Ashes
Fire and Ashes
Burning cinders
Endless fires

Ferme les yeux endors toi dans mes bras, là.
Et maintenant, pars, sans savoir où tu vas,
Laisse toi porter loin,
Très très loin de moi.
N’importe où, de n’importe quel point,
Je peux voir tes yeux, et je peux tenir tes mains.
Come, let us drive, singing all along,
But all this land has never been big enough for us
Tell me again
We’re not at the end of our trail,
Tell me again, from wherever I am,
If I whisper your name, I’ll feel you running in my veins.
Look! we are the flow, we’re the same river.
All along we go, the elements affect us both alike,
again.
We’re running so fast,
We could just pull apart, but you can be sure:
Where we end, and wherever I am,
I will see your eyes, and I will hold your hand.

Rejoice!
05:34
|
|

Rejoice! Rejoice!
We are made of bold asymmetries,
All of us are nervous, weak, worried,
Incapable of wanting what we need
Rejoice! Rejoice!
We believe in all imperfection
Taking pride in errors, lacks, failings,
Glorifying susceptivities.
Give me your hand,
And let us take a walk around there…
Breathe! can you smell the air, thin, perfumed?
We are carriers of unexpected savagery
Rooted in fear, ignorance, resentment,
Triggered by discomfort, phobia and mimicry
Rejoice! We have now the power to decimate our species,
But we still are wisps, twigs, feathers,
Easily swept away by the first storm!
Give me your hand,
And let us start a dance.
Maybe not what you have dreamed of.
But I feel that we should celebrate
All of the mysteries we can still discover right on our way,
Even if now and then, we dive in despair.
And now and then cities and harbours are burning,
Also now and then new loves are flowering.
And everywhere there are Dancers who remain.

All your branches, all branches,
Will be unforsaken.
All your lapses, your lapses,
May they be forgiven.
Endors-toi, Sinner, Endors-toi now
Endors-toi, Sinner, Endors-toi
Endors-toi, River, Endors-toi now
Endors-toi, River, Endors-toi
You meander, you linger,
Who could really follow?
Unbeliever, escorted by
Loneliness and sorrow!
Endors-toi, Sinner, Endors-toi now
Endors-toi, Sinner, Endors-toi
Endors-toi, River, Endors-toi now
Endors-toi, River, Endors-toi

Surrender

Anger, turn it down.
Sadness, turn it down.
Confusion, suspicion,
Resentment, devoure you,
And tiny pieces of your heart.
Defiance, give it up.
Diffidence, clean it up.
Hollowness, outrages,
Compassion, submerging you
To hidden corners of your soul.
Surrender old friend.
Surrender, come to an end.
Chorus
Just leave it to me,
Give up and leave it to me
Leave it to me, leave it to me
Ouvre les mains,
Ferme les yeux enfin.
Surrender to reality,
Surrender, set yourself free.
Bitterness discarded
Horizon expanded

We are the Singers of unspeakable Words,
Nameless Thoughts and covered Secrecies.
We are the Speakers of unbearable Truths.
We are Awakeners of unremembered Dreams.
We are Rememberers of buried Memories,
Regaining airiness of our Souls.

Night and day

Night and day
Over the land
Fiery sand
Falls
Close of day
Everyday
End of day
Everyone's
Horizon
Burns
Tidal day
Wave after wave
Through the day
To pregnant moon
All will soon
Fly
Close of day
Everyday
End of day
Everyone's
Horizon
Burns
En esprit, en espérant
En dépit du désespoir,
Résistant.
Résistant en dépit du désespoir
A silent flare, quicksilver raindrops, fall down rooftops
A radiant glare a golden vessel comes up.
A thunder wave, advancing dragon, come down arson,
On cooling lava solid rainbow instant deploy.
Final day
Wide is the way
On that day
Burdens are gone
Final day
Lights on our way
Sunny day
We melt as one
As one,
As one.

An amazing follow-up to Fractal Guitar. I came across Fractal Guitar as a fan of Markus Reuter, and after downloading that had to go ahead and download all the other music Stephan has on Bandcamp. Love this stuff...

Imaginary Mountains
by Ghost Rhythms

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-)

Abracadabra In Osaka (Elton Dean, Allan Holdsworth, Hugh Hopper, John Marshall)
by Soft Works
supported by 22 fans who also own “Rejoice!”
A solid "fusion" album that flirts a bit with most of the jazz styles from the 40s on and somewhat heavily with free jazz. Not so much that it's going to have you rummaging through the medicine cabinet for the ibuprofen or that it's going to take you half a dozen listens to get it but just enough to add a pleasant, artsy complexity to things. ...An excellent album by some masterful, experienced musicians.
