(too hard to be honest?) Il y a quelque chose qui cloche (There’s something that bells = something’s wrong) c’est poche (it’s crappy) – avec toi je me sens seul (with you I feel alone) J’en ai ras le bol (My bowl is full = I’ve had enough) le sol sur lequel tu marches (the ground on which you walk) il y a des traces amères – c’est clair (there are bitter traces – it’s clear) avec toi c’est toujours l'hiver (with you it’s always winter) Au revoir Ciaoooo J’ai la banana!

Thoughts form - shapes shift follow the curve of time luminous vibrations Oh the places we'll go - Oh the love that we'll know It radiates in a constant motion - you bend to me as I bend to you Thought forms - shape shifts Somewhere on the curve of time cool green shallows - violet vibrations Oh the places we'll go - Oh the love that we'll know It radiates in a constant motion - you bend to me as I bend to you

about

MAY 31st = National Macaroon Day and the launch of our THIRD DOUBLE!

Side A: Un industrial garage chanson with a linguistic twist! Idiomatiques comes with a healthy dose of French idioms. J'ai la banane? Il y a quelque chose qui cloche? Learn something other than 'things didn't work out in the end" while doing le twist...

Side A: Curve of Time, inspired in part by a Sveva Caetani painting, needed additional vocal sessions due to interference from Ofelia's ghost.
