Ring of Past
Spin in a ring of past
I dive through memories that are locked around thee
In blind days, when I’m lost
The dreams that we cherished foremost soar through me
I’ll always love you
Forever with you
Reliving youth through
You
Spin in a ring of past
Solace in believing that we will repeat
What might be and what’s lost
The thought of the one I loved most brings me heat
I’ll always love you
Forever with you
Reliving youth through
You
I’ll always love you
Forever with you
Reliving youth through
You

Girl
In Love,
My heart may be
Laced
Girl,
My Bird,
Tell me stories ‘bout a better place to be
Let yourself free
(French)
J’ai cru t’entendre à plein d’endroits
Mais les paroles fuyaient mes pas
C’est le malheur ou bien la chance
Ça n’a plus d’importance
Je vais ici, je vais là-bas
Mais je ne l’ai pas encore trouvée
Cette liberté dont tu m’as tant,
Chanté ce jour-là

Billie Toppy
Billie cares to hold me
But I found I’m bound and headed upside down
Billie dressing easy
And I do enjoy the way he tucks me now
Pulley Bee’
Dragging me around
Billie cares to wake me
And I’ll bend my knees neatly to its needs
Billie will be tidy
Tough as rocky streams, steady is the speed
Pulley Bee’
Hauling is your creed
[Your] Heels twist in a ballet
Whenever you’re in pain, don’t turn to blame
You see a lamb who’s fast asleep
Please don’t go out to stray
Billie by my lips dear
[And] I can almost taste the smoky trail of myrrh
Whispers in my left ear
And I swear, you’re near, the wary one I hear
Pulley Bee’
Idles in high gear
[Your] Heels twist in a ballet
[You’re] Stuck in a ballet
Whenever you’re in pain, don’t turn to blame
Please, don’t turn to blame
You see a lamb who’s fast asleep
Please don’t go out to stray
Please, don’t go out to stray

Hard to let go
Hard to let go
My friend
You changed
A wild ago
Estranged
Pride stiffens like dough
(You’re) closing in your cage
Proud sparrow
Hard to let go
I know
The slows
That break you low
You chase
Small emberS that glow
Hunching close by night
Sleep deprived
Hard to let go
The little voice
That “told you so”
Good fiend
I’ll never let go
To watch you wash the rain
With water

We were lucky to find an abandoned old house in our hometown. It hasn’t been inhabited since 95’, but it looked as though it was stuck in time more than 50 years ago. There was still lots of eerie furniture & religious artifacts left around.
We filmed in the coldest week of the winter, where the negative Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees join together on the scale of sadness. To this day, we think we might be permanently brain damaged from all the dirty air breathing released by the propane heaters and gasoline generators. It was freezing, dark and uncanny. While shooting the falling dresser scene, a mouse took refuge inside Jessy’s clothes (sorry for messing with your home little fellow). Besides critter activity, we didn’t observe any paranormal activities, so you probably won’t see the music video air on Discovery Channel. Nevertheless, everything in the house was perfect left untouched and we had lots of fun shooting this, whilst probably lightheaded on the propane.
We’d like to thank Jessy’s family: Françoise (his mom) and Pierre for playing along with us. We’d also like to thank Vincent Laquerre for the visual effects, William Friedkin (director of The Exorcist), Gus Englehorn and Elisabeth for the ongoing inspiration and friendship.

Lyrics:
I’m one
My blood
I owe
I bear
The past
My heirs
I owe
I bear
I’m one
My blood
I owe
I bear
The past
My heirs
I owe
I bear
When I smell sweet hay
Peace of mind comes
Distant land I’m from
Honey & sun
Oh, I relieve it
Where I was born
Oh, I can feel it
In the storm
I bear
The past
My heirs
I owe
I bear
I’m one
My blood
I owe
I bear
The past
My heirs
I owe
I bear

Lyrics
You make no sound
As folks gather ‘round,
Like shadow hounds
Eyes seem unsound
As folks gather 'round
And please you aloud
And I now believe that no one asked
About your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And I now believe that no one thought
You had a lonely past
The pain and strengths so vast
From mellow seas,
To houses on wheels,
To slabs in West lands,
Hand in hand
From yellow bills,
To slabs in West lands,
Like bones in your hands
But I see a tree that's standing high among the shrubs
So only one hand may rest its palm upon my cheeks
The only one that I'll need
To know why no one asked
About your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And I now believe that no one thought
You had a lonely past
And pain to match your vein
When it rains

Lyrics
Slow, we all slowly move
“Just like a river’s flow… never ends” gentle
How long,
Go slow on me
No longer young
Hold on to thee
I’m where I belong
Go slow on me
Hold that we’re bond
In truth
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Be My Love
Once more
Tears and joys together
Tweeds and stones, our past our tether
Be My Love
Once more
Springs and hail we weather
Gentle
How long,
Go slow on me
No longer young
Hold on to thee
I’m where I belong
Go slow on me
Hold that we’re bond
In truth
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me

Lyrics
I ran out of made up consolations
I’ve been waiting forever
How can you call me with such conviction?
“Sugar cane, sugar “
You get yourself out of situations
Won’t you leave me, won’t you?
‘Cause I don’t have the time for indignations
“Sugar cane, sugar”
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again
Can you find just one thing you cherish?
Would you hold me just like you mean it?
Am I the one with much imagination?
Give me one reason
As it gets older,
You keep pulling and pushing away
But you never promised me
To be wiser or better
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again

Lyrics
You’re not done
You just broke a bone
Oh dove
You’re not the one that’s gone
To be ours
Like the trees on our shores
All tweezed
The cliffs eat away at our knees
On my knees
I’ll be the one to tell your story, don’t say you’re sorry, you rest and heal
You used to be my spear without fear, you had the will
I want to give you time, give you mine, until you heal
You used to speed your way through the fields, but now you’re still
Soon we’ll roam
There’ll be shade once more
We’ll stray
Oblivious of boats sailing home
Sailing home

Lyrics
Took a Flintstone pill
Pantry uphill
Curtain child within
My teens, our dreams
Ride through Hyrule fields
Roaming scuffing
Mileage on my bike breezing
The freedom
I enjoyed through flames
I owe it
Mother and bygones
Remember
Days that gave me aim,
So I can feel the same
I don’t know about your love
I don’t know about your past
Things I did have brought me shame, and pride
Alas, I don’t know about your past

Always Lone
I’m not someone
You take away and leave alone
I’m not the one
To shy away and moan
And though I am
A deeply flawed human
I feel the shame
When you lay your eyes on me with pain
It’s not hard to see you’re getting cold
Oh, bring me home
Where I’m proud
Where the scales are plane
And It’s sane
We can play your game
Such a cruel way
To keep you entertained
It’s hard to see who gains
And who plays
I’d rather be the one who got fooled
Than to have my heart cooled
I always care
Always lone,
Always lone,
Always care,
Always lone,
Always lone,
Always care,
Always lone

Winter’s monsters adopted my place
I don’t know how you’ve been
I don’t know who she is but I can tell
She’s ‘got delicate hands
That must dance around you with the grace
Of a free bird

Lifelong Song
Three times the echoes of my name
How could someone not turn insane
What made you leave, what made you go,
Long road, long time ago,
Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song
Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song
You fenced yourself from the crowd
Black water, far as eyes can see,
Clear metal taste in your mouth
Nights howl,
Are you invited or not, ‘till dawn?
Three times the echoes of my name
Can one man be an island
I want to leave, I want to go,
A long way, like you taught me so,
Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song
Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song
Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song
Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song

Tides
Watch for ‘them tides
Said men over the news
Doomers far out,
Their plea was fair and sound
Oh Mama I love you,
Strong like I fear devouts
Who never doubt
Their righteous fervor
A hundred forty-four, by thousands, waiting for the clear
Oh how sublime
To marvel at an ugly world from home
They made it to midnight
They know they're right
Awake forever
I see brave men walking hand in hand again
With angels by their sides
Who’ll dare put on a fight?
Happy forever
To make it all inline
Happy together,
We shall be fine

Lyrics
Had she lost another one
She would’ve end just like her son
Bitter man now turned insane
(the) Day his dog took on the train
Had she lost another one
She would’ve end just like her mom
Dyed the hair to look as young
Inhaled fumes and spoiled a lung
By grace, she was spared
A few toes, a few
To care
Had she lost another one
Insurance lawyers would have won
Settle quick, the course was cheap
Didn’t bother to go deep
I saw the home she’s from
No place for one to hum
That pride so deer to some
She learned to overcome
Fate unearned
By grace, she was spared
A few toes, a few
To care
By grace, she was spared
A few toes, enough
To care

Dyed the hair to look as young
Inhaled fumes and spoiled a lung
By grace, she was spared
A few toes, a few
To care
Had she lost another one
Insurance lawyers would have won
Settle quick, the course was cheap
Didn’t bother to go deep
I saw the home she’s from
No place for one to hum
That pride so deer to some
She learned to overcome
Fate unearned
By grace, she was spared
A few toes, a few
To care
By grace, she was spared
A few toes, enough
To care

Lyrics:
Days go by and I still don’t know how and why
I still make my way without you, without you
Days go by and I still don’t know how and why
I still make my way and hang through, hang through
One more week loosing lottery
Oh I try to find a sense of mockery, Oh I
Days go by and I still don’t know how and why
I still make way without you, without you
One more week loosing lottery
Oh I try to find a sense of mockery, Oh I

Lyrics
Pierre,
You’re not lone
Say, I hope you understand?
Pierre,
You’re my friend
There’s a place you can call home
Those eyes
Tell me something’s odd
You’re there but you’re not here
You understand?
You care,
It might not look this way
Couldn’t be less true
You understand
Pierre,
You’re not lone
Say, I hope you understand?
Pierre,
You’re my friend
There’s a place you still call home
My friend
You have a vivid quill
A gift you need to use
To feel alive
Those hands
Look like crooked roots
Pour them the right stuff
And feel alive

* Garage sessions FAQ: some back-vocals were added later in order to be able to get more reverb on the vocals without mic bleed from the rest of the band (the garage roof is made of acoustically reflective metal sheets, so we played vv quietly). Harmonies are triggered via Emma's vocal pedal. Sometimes, harmonies were added later, in situations where the pedal wasn't able to correctly follow harmonic modulations.

Motion blurred dream visions and kindred faces
Thoughts like bursts of youth taking me places
Living the best outcome of myself
‘Cause I do remember where I come from
I’m happy my home found me
By which force I do not know
I found my home and it grows by me in beauty
I feel air from another planet akin
Like a sense of truth that comes from within
A budding sapling reaching through
Giving rise to higher fruit and view
I’m happy my home found me
By which force I do not know
I found my home and it grows by me in beauty
I’m happy my home found me
By which force I do not know
I found my home and it grows by me in beauty

Hon, please forgive me if I ever did you wrong
I'll be your candle; burn me upside down
From now on, I won't sleep on my arms
Numb, is how I feel deep inside my soul
Need to feel that I am on the line
I'm sorry that I dragged you down my way
Hon, I never meant to cheat you out of time
In cold mornings when our sheets are warm
I see a flower with no needles on (so far)
Stung, and there's a bee that gave it all away
Pretty eyes now filled with pain
A young confusion, what a shame

Show me how you care,
Tell me how you were loved before
Show me how you smile,
Tell me why your hands are cold
I’m turning around,
I’m having visions of you
But then I understand
The friend I’m dreaming of is far away
But I’m here... I’m here
Show me how you’re proud,
Tell me how you reach the moon
My thoughts err away tonight
My heart fell to love again
I’m turning around I’m having visions of you
But then I understand
The friend I’m dreaming of is far away
And doesn’t feel my love
But I do... I do

In the shadows he saw four eyes, lit by fire… fire
He’d never done that with a lover, before…before
Meanwhile everyone else got lost in quiet, by the rivier
Seeking for more, of course he found better…better
He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
He should have gone to bed
But instead he stuck around for the mood
In the shadows he saw four eyes, lit by fire… fire
He’d never done that with a lover, before…before
Either early or too late, it was number seven… and it happened
High like a bird with his beak through the window
He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
He should have gone to bed
But instead he stuck around for the mood
He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
He should have gone to bed
But instead he stuck around for the mood

Say, can you hear
Is there a meaning to your grief?
Where there is pain
You see grace
As if sacrifice
Was meaningful end in itself
Your trial and error is error and error
Staying at the end of a hallway
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you’re the scapegoat
You fix things that have never been
Hoping for your turn
All the basement stories you heard
Waiting for the world
To bend around you
You’re self-absorbed
Raving about your cryptic ways
Aren’t willing to change
Old grudges
Staying at the end of a hallway
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you’re the scapegoat
You fix things that have never been
Staying at the end of a hallway
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you’re the scapegoat
You fix things that have never been broken
Waiting for the world
To bend around you

But I’m willing to give you mine
Few things we both have, keep us alive
My life and our true love
Is all we need...
I don’t want to feel
A world against our love
I don’t want to grow old
A lone broken heart

You wrap my feet in coloured blankets
So I stay here all night
You keep the one with many moons and stars
It’s always for my shoulders
So I Stay here ‘till waking hours
Tell me how do you make everything feel a little easier
So I Stay here ‘till waking hours
Who could ever be this good to me,
I just can’t help but wonder
You put a shirt on the ceiling light
So the room won’t be too bright
You give me time to be what I can be
You’re never ahead, never behind me
So I Stay here ‘till waking hours
Tell me how do you make everything feel a little easier
So I Stay here ‘till waking hours
Who could ever be this good to me,
I just can’t help but wonder

Lyrics:
Bae, you’re leaving again?
It’s rainy outside you know
Don’t wanna get cold
“Bye, I’m running late”
Didn’t say where she went
God knows
Bae, you’re running away
Lost in the eye of men
You’re roaming your way
And he waits
While she is so close to home
Warmed up so that she stays
His bae
He told her "Bae, the porch is unlocked
Even though no one else
Comes by the front
Now, I sense how the men
Who live in these empty lands
Use them"
Singing "she moves
By deserted pines
Who stand tall unstirred"
Ran out of milk
Wearing her nice shoes
She likes coffee dark
He said "Bae, you’re running away
Lost in the eye of men
You’re roaming your way"
And he waits
While she is so close
Warmed up so that she stays
His bae

Lyrics
I recall polar days like these by the Zora river
Before heading nearby to quench my thirst
Writers and few musicians among the local drunk
Tentative relief, together blank
So I dream about C.R.E.A.M. tonight
White flag night
Wicked night
‘Cause
I miss October nights in Parc
Miss the corner store small talk
Smoke indoors past four
Come on Jean-Talon
I miss October nights in Parc
Miss the corner store small talk
Smoke indoors past four
Come on Jean-Talon

My feelings are true
With ease they allow
The flow of my will
And good sake for you
And good sake for you
This is your past
Before you’re born
For you to see
You deserve it
These things I won’t change
They keep me relaxed
It’s always my way
They keep me relaxed
It’s always my way
