The Slap

Oh golden boy
So charming
Your hands so lively
But your lust untimely
Brunette and blonde,
So tempting
But just one is your girl
(And she’s quite possessive)
And so shame on you
You broke the last taboo as you were
Hoping to get a blonde to kiss you
But you got a brunette
And a slap
It’s all red and it hurts so bad because of the slap
Hey man, you were so confident, but then
You see: hubris, that’s the name
You grew too bold, and now your cheek’s red
‘Cause of the slap
Allow me to explain with my own words
How I got involved in this regrettable situation
You’re not so cool as you think
Well I had a tough day
Oh poor thing!
And as it wasn’t enough I met that blonde
Oh such a bad day, a tough day (not cool!)
Yeah but let me explain:
That girl has always turned me on
And by the way, that night I drank too much
And under those circumstances
I tend to act like a… How would you say?
Like a jerk
There’s no need to insult!
Please!
I mean: you were there with your girlfriend!
Flirting with another girl right next to your girlfriend!
Got it. Now can I go on?
Where were we?
Right: your attempt to cuckold. Talk!
So: we’re at the bar,
My girl is there and she’s the most beautiful girl in town
Yeah, got it
But the blonde showed up
And so what?
Well…
There we go…
I was misunderstood
Sure…
(Besides, my girl’s temperament is pretty wild)
Ok, can we get to the point?
What point?
You know what, when you get slapped
Hey!
Did it hurt? Did it hurt so bad when you got slapped?
Oh golden boy
You failed
Five purple fingers
On your pretty face
Blonde and brunette
It’s too much
Warm tears are streaking
Down your red cheek.

I hear sick notes, I like it
I can explain, but why bother?
This ain’t no blues, or is it?
Spin me ‘round
I hear sick notes and they spin me ‘round
I hear sick notes spinning ‘round

The High Bar
04:03
|

This guy lives a very busy life
Whirling all day around the town
Full of doubts, still the job gets done
Just sometimes he forgets why he began
Inch by inch on an infinite path
Sometimes he’s quite unsatisfied
And then at night, before he falls asleep
His mind starts wandering high
A gymnast at the high bar
He’s flying so far, so high
In the dark, through a spot of light
High bar, where are you hurling me?
without an end hurling forgetful
He tries to find out what all this is about,
Where does the nexus lie
Full of doubts, is he going nuts?
In fact he just forgets when it began
Listen man, this high bar twirling stuff,
I think it came out of your mind
Keep going my friend,
Next time you wonder why
Just twirl on the high bar
(Movement: vaulting nature)
Vaulting so high:
A gymnast at the high bar
He’s flying so far, so high
In the dark, through a spot of light
High bar, where are you hurling me,
without an end, hurling high
High, higher

Hypnotic

Hypnotic, un-earthlty touch
I behold you
Never felt such
Awe inside me
I’m hypnotised by you
Silk goddess, delight
Hypnotised, I fear I’ve lost my mind
There’s just you, silk goddess
Sunken notes: that’s all I’m hearing
Somewhere else, all time is just outside
The first time I met you
You were outside
You kept me
Away
A while
You chose me
You left me no choice
You called me
Refused me
Deceived me
Controlled me
Away
A while
Then back
The pendulum goes
Away
A while
I’m your prey
I knew the risks, still
You got me trapped
I know you more
Than you would think
Still, I have no choice
Deadly sweet poison
It was on a rainy night : first time I saw you
But it was a sunny day when I lost control
All I’m asking is to drink some of your sweet poison
Give me some of it again, please give it to me
I’m yours since the first time I felt on me
Your hypnotic, un-earthlty touch
I behold you
Never felt such
Awe inside me
I’m hypnotized by you
Silk goddess, delight
Hypnotized, You know I’ll do everything you want
Everything you ask to me, do as you please
Hypnotized, I think I’ve lost control
Softly hypnotic
I will drink your poison
Hypnotic goddess
Gladly I will abandon myself
I’ll do what you want, as you please
You own me now (mystical union)
I lost control
But I fear no more

Spent all afternoon downtown
Got my workout plans laid down
Met my BFF meanwhile
Here we are it’s
Cassidy and Aubrey going to and fro
Fancy L.A. girls we only get first choice
And we also are first choice for all you guys
Totally, for all you guys, we’re the first choice
Playing tennis, then some tanning by the pool
Feeling naughty, texting with some charming men
Music agents, CEOs and talent scouts
To and fro, we go up and down
European men with undeniable charm
European cars and European wines
Pour some more rosé: you’ll get a nice surprise
Cassidy and Aubrey going to and fro
Going to and fro to get some ups and downs

Hey Weirdo!
04:42
|
|||
|
Come, people like you don’t hang around a lot
So here’s what you get: you’re upset, lost the bet when you met
The grimly, steady face of this cold rock we know as the world
And while you stagger as you search for anything
To hang on, you’re not wrong, there’s a song playing on
About the fact that you are not the only one who’s trying
To find a way, but at the same time you feel that it should be
Your own way, and so the song will tell you:
“Kid, don’t worry, that’s OK, go your way, hear me saying,
I like your style and to me you’re OK, go your way, go on
Hey weirdo! Hey weirdo!”
You were sitting at your school desk, next to your
Best friend, and suddenly you felt a shock wave
Coming from behind: it was the girl with the
Slightly brownish tooth, who loudly coughed (and it
Turns out she was the ex of another friend).
You laughed so hard and you went on and on and on,
The holy cough is the mother of all the gags
Mother of all the gags, you call it
‘The shout’, and for decades you’ve been laughing
Like a fool. He, who used to
Be with her, well, You’ve been hiding it
To him, and it’s so much fun.
Hey Weirdo!
You’re such a weirdo and please
Don’t ever change ‘cause your mom told you so, or the priest
Told you so, or the trainer who works at the gym.
What am I saying? You at the gym? It’s unlikely
Wait, what have you said? You do go to the gym?
Well, you see: stereotypes… Anyway, let’s go back
To my point, I was saying: never change, I’m OK
With your brownish teeth humour, the shout and the
Innocent laughing behind your friend’s back, well I say
Hey weirdo!
Hard boiled daydreamers: it’s fine
Also your slutty girlfriend: she’s fine too
Your sainted truck driver daddy: well, he’s fine
And the queer fawn and even dolphin granny: they’re welcome
Laughing so hard
Hey weirdo, good friend of mine, you’re welcome here
Come, people like you don’t hang around a lot
So here’s what you get: you’re upset, lost the bet when you met
The grimly, steady face of this cold rock we know as the world
And while you stagger as you search for anything
To hang on, you’re not wrong, there’s a song playing on
About the fact that you are not the only one who’s trying
To find a way, but at the same time you feel that it should be
Your own way, and so the song will tell you:
“Kid, don’t worry, that’s OK, go your way,
And I’ll be right next to you
Hey weirdo, go your way
Just hear me calling you weirdo
Just go your way, weirdo, hey!

Stratification
02:51
|

|
Look at the book:
Can you guess the colour of the back cover?
And now that I’ve turned it over:
Is that what you were thinking?
Watch it again,
and try to figure out its content
So now you’ve read it,
Compared past and present
Perceptions influencing knowledge
Speech building vortical mountains of infinite
Stratification: of thoughts, of meanings and of bodies,
Of every point of view in every story,
In the crack of the intersection between you, me, and them
Geology, narration, synesthesia.

Wonder and Delusion
07:37
|
|||
|
These arms of mine are yearning to reach you
To hold you again, while you get sleepy
Muttering your pointless defences out
And I met better women,
Women loving me more, women loving for real
Yet, I can’t get lost in their eyes, as I think of yours
Shining a different, arcane, unreachable shine.
I wonder why we try and try to be
even more sad and lonely
In search of enemies among our friends
Sanity lost for pride, delusions
No, I don’t belong here
No, I don’t belong now
No, I don’t belong, no.
(And it feels like I don’t belong, not now)
I wonder why, why we wonder why
Scars get deeper while I linger on these delusions,
Lose my grasp
I wonder why I wonder: looks like there’s no point
Perceptions fade, and truth is now illusion
Ready to fight, to suffer, die for delusions
It looks like there’s no point, reason to wonder
Yet we wonder, we are beasts and we kill
each other, beasts only bound to slaughter
Soft embraces become rare and lose their warmth as I linger on these delusions
Let us sleep a black and dreamless sleep, and
Let’s forget this heavy pounding heartbeat.

Loomings Strasbourg, France
Loomings is a one of a kind musical universe of mingled voices and percussions, acoustic and electronic sounds. Our songs follow unpredictable paths: sometimes they emerge from complex compositional strategies, sometimes they’re just driven by the desire to walk through harmonies, vocal arabesques, instrumental unisons and phases. ... more
If you like Loomings, you may also like:

Mind blowing album. I'm not qualified to review it, I'm just gonna say I absolutely love it.

all of it good: the whimsy, the drama, the wild, the cosmic; deftly dancing the line between order and chaos, between the sublime and the vile, between the fathomable and the ineffable. puts the listener in a liminal limbo you don't get to be in (and still enjoy!) often.
