THE BODY LIES Remix by Mark Thibideau

LYRICS:

Your eyes can touch me
Your scent can embrace me
Your voice can graze my skin
And that’s what I’ll miss most of all

I want to believe it ~
and trust what the body can know
But the body lies

Your eyes evade me
Your silence betrays me
The lies your body told were so unkind

And I couldn’t face it ~
I was a cliche, and behold
You couldn’t save my soul

I couldn’t face it
I couldn’t face what I know

The body lies
My body lied
Your body lied
The body lies

~~~

What happens when we offer offer the bare bones of our music to our very accomplished musical friends? You get a fantastic genetic mash of influences that breathe new life into our work. One part us, one part them...The Mongrel Mixes is a colourful collection of Johnny Hollow songs, re-imagined by a diverse set of composers and djs. This project was produced and managed with band member Vincent Marcone at the helm making sure the vibe of this album fit nicely into Johnny Hollow's World. As a side note, Johnny Hollow's main composer, Janine White, completes the album, rethinking their song "Firefly" by digging deep into her classical roots and re-scoring the piece with orchestral elements.

To emphasize this track, The Mongrel Mixes is released with a stunning stop motion animation short film/ music video based "Firefly". This film was completely funded by our Patrons and Fans!
