1.	Letter Lettre 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Will you write me a letter? Will you write me a letter? Will you write me a letter today? (or next week maybe?) You use your words in such wonderful ways you were always there when you were needed I can’t thank you enough (WILL!) You’re so great! (You’re so great) You’re so kind! (you’re so kind) You’re so cool! (You’re so cool) Thank you for the letter Serre moi fort quand les vagues s’écrasent un rappel que nous sommes des enfants élémentaires - impermanence je t'ai écrit une lettre / je t’ai écrit une lettre mais tu n'as jamais pris le temps de le lire Et la terre (et trop chaud) Et le vent (et trop fort) Et le feu (hors de controle - hors de controle) Agents de changement - l'apathie est ennuyeuse
2.	La Maison 02:40	lyrics	buy track
Je me souviens que Dorothy l’a dit un jours / I remember Dorothy saying On est si bien chez soi / there’s no place like home Suis-je une tortue? / Am I a turtle? Ma maison toujours avec moi? / My house always with me? Peut etre. / Maybe. Peut etre pas. / Maybe not. Tu penses que la maison - est laaaaaa / You think home is there Enfin la maison - est toi / In the end the home…is you Ahhhhhh rien ne vaut son chez soi / There’s no place like home Ahhhhhh prends ce sentiment d’amour avec toi / take this feeling of love with you C’est triste c’est drole c’est tra la laaaaaa / It’s sad - it’s funny - it’s tra la laaaa et comme le temps passe vite parfois / and how the time flies sometimes Ahhhhhh rien ne vaut son chez soi / There’s no place like home mais s’il y a de l’amour tu peux vivre n’importe ou avec moi / tu peux vivre partout / but if there’s love you can live anywhere with me - you can live anywhere Ahhhh rien ne vous son chez soi / there’s no place like home Ahhhhhh prends ce sentiment d’amour avec toi / take this feeling of love with you Ahhhh rien ne vous son chez soi / there’s no place like home Et s’il y a de l’amour tu peux vivre n’importe ou avec moi / tu peux vivre partout / and if there’s love you can live anywhere with me - you can live anywhere
3.	New Days Eve 03:31	lyrics	buy track
(Lyrics/Music: Joshe Henry) Like an old shoe or an ill fitting glove Like a black and white movie or some used up love We stop when we know that everything is wrong Speed up Sit down It never takes long The end of the cycle, the end of the road There's more than one way to free your soul There's more than one way to free your soul Everyday is like a holiday for us Everyday is just another brain cell funeral Everyday is like a holiday for us Cause every night is new days eve You can see, see what you wanna see and you can be, be what you wanna be Living in a world full of illusions, delusions are free There's more than one way to live your life You know that true magic never dies There's more than one way to dig for gold and there's more than one way to free your soul
4.	Déchet Frère 02:16	lyrics	buy track
Celui-ci s'adresse à tous ceux qui ont une bombe puante totale dans leur famille. Parfois il suffit de le grogner ! Déchets frere déchets frere jeter ta propre vidange dans la poubelle à l'arrière Déchets frere déchets frere Cynisme toxique c’est pas cool c’est pas chic Ton haptitude pour les conneries est sans précédent ton attitude - ton habitude traîner pendant que ma soeur travaille son cul T’es le boss que de bécosses* mais c’est ma soeur qui travaille son cul Arrête de te pogner le beigne! arrête de pleurnicher* ton attitude - ton habitude traîner pendant que ma soeur travaille son cul tu es pathétique tellement sarcastique - le diagnostique? caustique tique!!!
5.	Hors de Contrôle 02:29	lyrics	buy track
Veux-tu m’écrire une lettre? x 2 / Will you write me a letter? Veux-tu m’écrire une lettre un jour? Will you write me a letter one day? il y a eu un moment où tu m'as écrit avec de l'encre d'une plume - une enveloppe scellée à la cire /there was a time when you wrote to me with ink from a quill - a wax sealed envelope Et la terre (et trop chaud) / And the earth was too hot Et le vent (et trop fort) / And the wind was too strong Et le feu (hors de controle - hors de controle) / And the fire was out of control…out of control Serre moi fort quand les vagues s’écrasent / Hold me tight when the waves crash un rappel que nous sommes des enfants élémentaires / A reminder that we are elementary - children impermanence (de toutes choses) / the impermanence of all things je t'ai écrit une lettre x2 / I wrote you a letter x2 mais tu n'as jamais pris le temps de lire / but you never took the time to read it Et la terre (et trop chaud) / And the earth was too hot Et le vent (et trop fort) / And the wind was too strong Et le feu (hors de controle - hors de controle) / And the fire out of control…out of control Agents de changement - l'apathie est ennuyeuse ! / Agents of change - apathy is boring!

We didn't use any envelope effects on this one but we're sending Letter Lettre to you dear listener in the hopes that you'll enjoy these chansons and pass the notes along!

It's still amazing what you can do with a pair of knitting needles! Happy 3rd birthday to Les Chouettes Yé Yé!

Tempo
by Dom La Nena

A melodic doorway into a faerie gathering - this album sparkles as it floats - dancing me into the woods. So delicate and familiar I love the feel of it...morning, noon and night. Si! Krista Muir

Hailu Mergia & His Classical Instrument: Shemonmuanaye
by Hailu Mergia

Was completely entranced when I saw him perform with his band in Montréal several years ago at Suoni...never heard anything remotely like it before...sounds like sunshine...time to go wandering... Krista Muir

Man of Mystery [EP]
by A Montreal Paul

A riff popped into my head the other day and I realized that I was humming A Montreal Paul's Hazy As a Mellotron. Such a brilliant EP - it feels like summer. Krista Muir
