baudelagon Mais enfin où êtes-vous amateurs de voix ? Comment pouvons-nous être si peu à écouter toutes ces compositions ? Serions-nous des élus ? Je suis arrivé là en suivant Rïcïnn: une nymphe (au sens mythologique du terme) attire vers d'autres nymphes, c'est bien connu. Arrêtons de leur courir après, écoutons-les chanter plutôt ! Teinté parfois de Rnb, parfois sobrement joué seulement par un piano: marfois on pense aussi un peu à Björk...

Steven Aanonson Bombastic, beautiful, and most importantly.. a lot of damn fun! Props to the artist for wrangling together some of the best vocalists i've heard in the genre. Favorite track: Banjo ft Jelila.

Sleeping Frenzy / Rêve : --- Spaces in the night Fill denial Each ignite Shattering exiles I see you there, Eyelid sealed, 'Arms in the air,' Sleepwalking, My way It's a wish preview, A glimpse of free I dreamed of you, Dreaming of me Once awake, As we vanish, Our fairy intake, Has just perished Now we leave, Both our bed Relieved to believe, But wake up so upset And your life passes by, You don't seem too upset of that much wasted time, And your mind trashes mine, I'll forget all regrets and go on writing rhymes Rhyming of you, Dreaming of me, Loving anew, Sleeping frenzy, Crazy pursuit, Not to be free, Poisonous fruit, Forever sleepy, An end in a suit, In a coffin maybe, Have no need for a cure, I've gone mad already, I just want to be sure, You'll be dreaming of me, Dreaming of you dreaming of me I'vee no need for a cure I'm as fine as crazy I'll finally be free'd, From this sleeping frenzy I just want to be sure You'll be dreaming of me "Ton sommeil, mon amour" I'd be dead but happy

BPM : 71 Verse 1 Here the past Smells like ashes Pages from the outcast In books have vanished The stones don't talk The trees forget, And man speaks words Not worth being said. And you might be the one, Yeah you might be the one One of the ones that no ones understands, 01’09’’ Yeah you might be this one, The one who wants to be once, The one that wasn't one of the once no ones. Yet time passes by, Now can you hear it, It makes sense seems futile Once you fear it. But still, while you cry, Let me clear it Chorus : Tough luck, The time fucked you up, Your dreams, your hopes, Found no back up So genius cry, Your lamp is lost, Here Jesus died, No man has found the cross All memories to dust, Verse 2 : Be Nieztsche, Another lonely wolf, Don't preach, Leather boots leads to Adolphs, And the rest, maybe best, History's better side, Eternity put to rest, Chorus : Tough luck, The time fucked you up, Your dreams, your hopes, Found no back up So genius cry, Your lamp is lost, Here Jesus died, -but-No man has found the cross All memories to dust, We share, we care, Once written by the wisest, Seesed to be fair So cry away your fear, Not being remembered, And feel each of your tears, Vanity tempered.

A Chapter to an End Verse 1: You were prepared, Your head in the sand, Still you'd preferred, A chapter to and end. Chorus : But It's here, And you better embrace it, The short time, Before getting trough the exit. And you'd rather, Have a chapter To an end, No extends, Nothing after, Being bitter doesn't matter. Don't admit, Just embrace it. --- Verse 2: Your faith is still, Inside your god But your fear is real Coz god is not... So fear your time, Your anxious nature, Poorly sublimed, Seeks for torture Chorus : But It's here, And you better embrace it, The short time, Before getting trough the exit. And you'd rather, Have a chapter To an end, No extends, Nothing after, Being bitter doesn't matter Don't admit, Just embrace it. --- Verse 3 : You've had your share, Don't go out, Thinking life is unfair, Justice smilles at believers, So don't be dumb as you leave us cresc: Your breath is now leaving, Your lips are now shaking, Your brain is now swimming, Your heart is now swinging Chorus : So It's here, You're now facing the exit, Can you feel, Calm and slow don't you love it?. And you rather, Had a chapter To an end, To attend, Afterlife to ascend Nothing after, We die covered Empty smile flowered, Lifelong tone unanswered. So embrace it, Don't you love it? The end to the chapter Of your exit.

Et Pourtant Un sourire, appel au compromis Bien qu'odieux c'est la belle qui s'en omit, Fille des fables et hommes d'émoi, Tous en déboires en leur ébats+ Si bas d'estime aux égards des unes On s'égare dans l'infime au regard des urnes Et arrache nos rêves à leur socle idylle En confins confiné de pensées serviles+ Et quand bien tous meurent, plus se trompent, Pour preuve en torpeur, toutes audaces s'estompent, C'est la vie qu'embouti la peur du beau, Quand empathie et raison viennent à faire défauts+ Tumultueuse errance que l'incertitude, L'angoissante liberté des sentiments, Qu'engendre à beaucoup turpitude, Laissant le reste s'accabler de mille tourments+ - Et pourtant tous meurent, A le savoir ne déraisonnent, Aucun enfants qui des frayeurs, Si facilement frissonnent. Et pourtant tous meurent, Quelques outils de dérision, Aident l'homme en sa peur, Lui pleure sa condition+ ---... Et pourtant tous crèvent, Quelques outils de dérision, Aident l'homme mais lui préfère, Pleurer sa condition+ - Mille états d'âmes qu'en faire? Quand l'enfer c'est soi, S'en faire pourquoi, ma foi, l'envers, Du masque c'est moi+ D'un astre en noyade au crépuscule, A l'aurorale dorure d'un mont d'orient, Aux danses des feuilles qu'un vent bouscule, Les beautés n'abondent qu'aux esprits béants+ - Et pourtant tous meurent, Et le savoir ne solutionne, L'écho accru des faux malheurs, Qui dans les coeurs résonnent. Et pourtant tous meurent, Âcre conscient qu'adoucit, L'orgueil trouble et menteur, Qui d'ostentation sévit, ---... Qui d'ostentation surgit ---... D'un délabrement naquit ---... Vie dispensable maquis+

VERSE 1 So loud and singing out all their convictions Shallow expectations Shadows of emotions Swallows obligations So proud to be indiscreet, Crowed mind excrete Their misconceived concrete, Causes fact to deplete CHORUS 1 As for me… Well...As for me… As for me, as for me…-well… Think I don't - Don’t I Think I don’t I just I just think I don’t I must - Think I don’t …. Might not think at all I just think i don’t, I just might not think at all. VERSE 2 Shouting in the halls Only matter for those Writing on the walls Another illusion For the silent ones Emptiness in motion Claims to dispel; Nastier conditions From the current ones Begs for more devotion Asked of me, well… CHORUS 2 (Outro) Think I don't I just - I think I don't - don’t Think I don’t I just - I just think I don't I must I just think I don’t - don’t I must think I don’t I might not think at all I just, think I don’t I-i-iI just...

I'm lost again Verse 1 : In beetween conversations, I see my life running by, Attemp to give in convention, Discust me each time I try. When taking out, The real it's left, In a taste of theft. The love is gone, I might be proud, And feeling deft, I'm left alone. No other way, To ease my life, I'm growing insane, To appease my strife And everyone seems, To do the same, Yet you loose their esteem, Once you've quit the game. //2// They will tell you otherwise, They will name you other guys, That will find you to be wise, Then advies you to disguis. //3// Chorus : Now I'm lost again, I'm feeling absent, While I'm send, To pretend, that the road goes ascend. I'm lost again, In my frame I'll be looking absent, I'm lost again, In my brain. //4// Verse 2 : When suddenly, Falling from the sky, Oddly holy, I bearly believed my eyes //5// Smilling beauty, Maybe lost as well, Kept on looking at me, Crushing trough my shell. I had nothing to say, And I just said so, Oh well silence she said, Is just the voice below. And fits me well, Or maybe better, Than some repelling shit, On current weather. We smiled for a while, Walking together, I'm loving that exile, Then said to her. Falling for you, Feels like such a gain, You're a living vertue, please cure me again. She took my hands, Brought her lips to mines, And invaded by that sense, I just lost my mind. /// Chorus : And I'm lost again, I'm smiling altghout, Humour senses in my brain, Matches nothing i saw.

Aux délicats Aux délicats Que la vie oppresse, A vous, Morts par tendresse Aux délicats, D'organes brutaux, Aux cœurs las, Sur les tréteaux, Ces quelques notes de piano. Aux délicats, De jeunesse biaisé, De faux soldats, De plomb oxydé, Aux délicats, D'amour perdus, D'humour força, D'émoi vêtu Ces quelques mots d'un encre ému. Aux délicats, Dont l'avis s'oppresse, Du moindre débat, Fard d'indélicatesse Aux délicats, Femmes trésor déchues, Corps célibat, L'esprit branlé aux nues Ces quelques pensées crues. Aux délicats, Mort de tout, Vie d'errata, Né d'un écrou. Aux délicats, Solidaire de rien, Solitaire d'aléa, D'enchères carmin Ces quelques maigres soutiens

Obviously Yours : I see the blood in yours eyes The gap in your arms Your heart beats surprised From nothing you want. Knowing love you feel sure Yet your mind seems to soar Blind to see it's a war, And it's obviously yours. It's around in the air And the time is so wrong, Hiding into despair, Yet the choice is your own One story the next, You keep running through doors, Love shouldn't be no pretext, Yet it's obviously yours. You're knitting a shadow Warming your way Pulling you down below, When I wish you'd stay You know that I care, By keeping the score And judging you there, well, I'm obviously yours

Pia to Forte Tempo : 80 Bpm In confort I'm bored, To repeal it I bring-, -In a major discord, When I sing- -In this minor chord. (repeat) And I might switch, In a bit, From upset to happy, Higher pitch, To befit, Your preset to beauty. Hear me now, See the smiles now instead, Hear me now, Easy to get in your head, Is it not, No matter what I just said, Hear me now, Ho god I think I misread, Hear me out These lyrics have you misled "I'll be Pia-It-seems-on- -Forte glissando, My pia-ni-ssi-mo, Seeks heavy Crescendo, I'll be Pia, It seems, An outlaw, In themes, A major melody, On a minor mind, And I think I lost it, Singing this line, The composer’s crossed it, So I'll decline, Smilling back again, In tune and insane I'm swinging in vain, Singing in pain, From Pia to forte, From depth to cliché, Beatrice to Dante, From dismiss to display. And I might be lost, Yet hear me now, I might pay the cost, Yet hear me now, Eloquence was here, All along, Beyond the sound it appeared, Growing strong, Hear it now, On the drums, Hear it now, On the horns, Hear it now, In my voice Know it now, It's a choice So let me end, On beauty restored, Yet also to offend, With this minor discord.

Intro: Light rises up, Turns (the)night to day, I feel it coming up, Drifting me away. Coming up, coming up,... Verse 1: It's 6 o'clock in the morning, And i walk straight, My blood unfilthed by anything, And it feels great. Sun right in my face People right in they're place The city sings my song Today can't go wrong, BRK 1: Today, to work, The floor is shinning, Reflects a jerk That i ended up wiping, But still, The floor was blinding Verse 2: So I kept on wipping, All day long, Got tired of it from the beginning, And still stayed strong, And hardest thing, There is among, Was with the other ones, To get along. Their: -False smiles, -Forced talks, -Tired up faces, -Repeted jokes. BRK 2: It drove me mad, and so sad, Who knew life had, To be so bad, After i while i ran away, After a while i had to get away, So now, I'm calming down the pain, And now, I feel it moving in my vein, And reaching for my brain Verse 3: And: I know it's in vain, I know it's insane, I know it's the same, I know it remains, I know it's to blame, I know it's a shame, And I don't care, No I don't care, Coz despit it, Sun's rising up, It's 6 in the morning again, My head's completely fucked, But for once sings the sound of my brain. END : And I know i'll be down again, As the dawn cycle don't depend, On my sa-ni-ty

144 BPM | SKY'S EYES INTRO: I open my eyes, And feel so light, Somehow not surprised, All appearing so bright. Chorus : I'm as good as dead, As I was once alive, Perhaps slightly ahead, My whole mind as revived. I'm as good as dead, As I would by sunrise, Even, better instead, Is see now from the sky's eyes Verse: 1'01'': I see the world passing by Underneath my eyes I'm the sky, and to me, Gravity laws no longer applies Flying by some people on the ground, Never felt more alive, Waving greetings all around None of them seems to reply I'm flying by a river, It's such a lovely feeling, Once right over, I saw my body missing But couldn't believe it, I'd rather though instead, A dreaming lonely spirit, But I guess -- I'm dead No regrets right here, I don't feel my fear, I'm aware that I'm dead, And I'm happy I am, Cause life had me misled In believing, Almost kneeling, 3'04'' For anything, To have any meaning. Chorus : I'm as good as dead, As I was once alive, Perhaps slightly ahead, My whole mind as revived. I'm as good as dead, As I would by sunrise, Even, better instead, Is see now from the sky's eyes Now I'm the sky and I'm free From it's eyes, from it's lies, From the sides, from the glides. I'm as good as dead, As I was once alive, Perhaps slightly ahead, My whole mind as revived. I'm as good as dead, As I would by sunrise, Even, better instead, Is see now from the sky's eyes

Head's away 133 BPM 1 The ground withdrawn My head's away, When my mind is gone My body plays 2 When my mind is gone My feelings aside That sweet taste left is a A lie My senses lives A lie 3 Curious case Of nothingness The bassline curves In emptiness My mind is struggling for sanity As vanity Prices reality 4 No trip for remedy Mine sells down the streets I got the recepy To be swept off my feets to live this life, And die, And dive, My innocence's alive, My inner-self's a lie, , The ground withdrawn My head's away, When my mind is gone My body plays When my head's away I head away, When my head's away, So far, By the stars
