Let's Fall Apart Together 05:22
lyrics
buy track
Let's fall apart together Before we get stuck in our dust I rather dive in ecstatic chaos Than drink a mug of dreary rust Shake the sacred out of the shaman No shame on you, no same for me but Walk further than a chicken Cross the road AND climb a tree Tramps, trampolines get ready The world's not waiting but here we come With our empty minds, bare bones, loose feet, free thoughts Hair loss, weight gain, fake teeth, I'm flying mom. Let's fall apart together Before we get stuck in our dust I rather dive in ecstatic chaos Than drink a mug of dreary rust Flying through solid brain fog Filled with fears and fake beliefs We, thieves of our own freedom Couldn't steal our dreams to leave So we keep on swirling, just like starlings If only 2 could make a flock Till the fog starts dissipating, I think we made it, can you see it? There's no ceiling, the limit's fake and there has never been a lock Let's fall apart together Before we get stuck in our dust I rather dive in ecstatic chaos Than drink a mug of dreary rust

American Dream 04:03

The American Dream is sold out tonight No tickets for us, babe, let's go outside And stare at the blood moon, it's shining for free Showing black bats in tutus, I think that we will be alright The American Dream is sold out tonight No tickets for us, babe, let's go outside And feel the cold wind, it's blowing the smell Of a forgotten place that we used to know so well In my Versace wallet That I found in the trash I got $5 scratchers And a little ball of hash I got 127 likes And a new app on my phone A bottle of hope Babe, we're not alone The American Dream is sold out tonight No tickets for us, babe, let's go outside And hear the rain beating that good old refrain Zip up your skull babe before they come and wash your brain

Baccarat Strikes a Match 03:47
lyrics

She knocks her flaming knuckles against her forehead Then she chuckles Sparks fly up, landing snowflakes hiss and sizzle False eyelashes frizzle, fall to ash Melted spandex runs up her flesh Amazing blazing tits are just about to pop and splash A living torch in the dark sky On scorched, smoking spike high heels Her platinum blond curls are burning but she won't cry Cloaked in smoke, snaking around her nakedness Thick as a black feather dress She jokes about him choking Then she dances a little more In the smoldering ring of everything she wore That has fallen to the floor

Orphan Dream 04:22
lyrics
buy track
I'm an orphan dream Searching for a foster mind I'm flying around Trying to be found By a being whose mind Is willing to find Don't need a big screen For me to be seen Just the size of a grain In the back of a brain I'm an orphan dream Searching for a foster mind Wandering ghosts Are hunting for hosts Non framable art For inflammable hearts Chances and dreams Need your desire Grab them in time Before they expire I'm an orphan dream Searching for a foster mind But spare grey matter's getting rare Cause free time and space cause scare Men need tweets and chatters Likes and fake flatters To shatter the last bit of air

about

Between dreams, disillusion, expectations, hopes, ambitions and failures, we try to make the best what life offers us but most of us are clumsy beings. So we fail miserably.
Sometimes, when we finally accept that the path we're on won't get any better vistas than the ones we're seeing right now, we can be happy with what we have, even if it's not much.

My musical influences come from all over the place, since I've lived in different countries, have written songs in different languages and have performed all over the world. Maybe we can call it a mix of world music, cabaret and jazz?

I prefer the direct connection with audiences over studio work, but I hope that these recordings reflect the energy and moods of what I play on stage. I worked on them for a long time, though... the first studio sessions were in 2018. The songs stayed in a drawer for a while, then I'd pick them up again, put them away, until I thought that if I didn't finish them, I'd never move on to the piles of other songs that are waiting to be recorded. So, they're now as ready as they'll ever be and there are some great musicians playing on the tracks, I'm happy.
