Through glass doors and past a trophy tiger she strides in on long legs, a Golden Delicious loosely in hand. Her futurist backpack falls between homemade boots and from it she pulls pocketknife, notebook and telephone, arranged quickly now on the chrome bar before her. She smiles and I take in at once the battle of brown hair, pink serious doll-mouth, theatrical eyebrows over squint-eyes flashing light everywhere, tight black dress, tighter silver disco belt and beat-up ringless fingers. Then she begins her story: Birth under the shadow of a sailboat bigger than the house, in the far North of California, a little faux-Eskimo "Baby Girl", who has to wait before being given her real name: "La Brisa Day Roché". A young artist mother who jogs the sand dunes carrying a tiny pistol and improvises songs like a constant domestic soundtrack. Writer-father, mysterious and very hero, at ease with the dangers of sea, city, road and mountain... He takes child-Brisa on "business" trips-- hiding from helicopters and sleeping on tropical beaches, visiting tipis and gold-mine camps, the 'Stones on ghetto blasters and van-radios, the Blues on record players of countless urban apartments. Her ear absorbs these sounds, and those of her mother's folk albums and improvisation, developing to the harmonies of the local children's choir as well, with which she tours Russia and Romania as a young teen. At 16, Brisa leaves her mother's mountain cabin for her father, in Seattle. It's the peak of Grunge, but his death prevents her from participating. Instead she writes intense, lyrical songs in relative isolation, and plays acoustic guitar. She finishes highschool as a live-in nanny, practising with her band, "The Amazing Dimestore" in after-hours movie theatres, and playing weekends on her own at the public market. 18, in Paris, Brisa forms a "roots" trio and loves CAN, Joni Mitchell and PJ Harvey. A year passes and now at Reed College in the States, the longing for a band haunts her. She puts up notices, switches to electric guitar, and does vocals for an EMO group called "Bing Ra", which leaves her as unfulfilled as do her studies. In her native town again, frustrated by fruitless collaboration, Brisa swears off music. Then, to her surprise, finds herself singing standards each night on bike rides home through the fields. Curious and drawn to challenge, she decides to give jazz a shot. Love, in the form of a punk rock bassist from New Mexico. With him, in the desert, she discovers monsoon season and continues pursuing her private vision of jazz. Here, Brisa interrupts herself, laughing like falling water, "Isn't that love, anyway? The desert, the monsoon, the Wild West?!" Her blue-green eyes and pale skin, her particular story-telling... I can picture her singing and am transported. Romance's brutal end pushes her back to Paris ("As far away as possible!"), where she dives into jazz as a way of life. Her voice, gestures, and ninja-queen stage presence quickly attract the eye of the media, and in 2005 she signs an artist's contract with Blue Note. Brisa picks up her pen and makes a list of words describing her record-project, due out this fall. She writes: CINEMATIC / INTIMATE / GENEROUS / SIXTIES' / FEMININE / GRANDIOSE/ROCK N ROLL and tells me how she plays her own compositions live again, how her "Destroyer" guitar still feels fresh under her touch. At the New Morning, a week later, I see her with a bare-bones band. I am overwhelmed. The grain of her voice moves between purity, emotion and velvet. Her arms fly, she makes faces under a crown of star-aimed revolvers, sings from the side of her mouth like Elvis. Brisa is relaxed and glowing, intense... magnificent, and we in the audience believe she loves us. Her guitar growls, her voice soars... We love her too.

strangers Now I want to feel you so Roll me in your arms And let me feel you in the grass Roll me in your arms Under the black cypress And laugh Oh baby, let me hear your laughing voice again Engine Off He turned the engine off and coasted in I waited on a windowsill, my bare feet on the tin Everyone was wide awake, but lights were dim My gymnast arms passed plants into the darkness from within This was not the only glamorous night We danced to Talking Heads, three heavy birds trying to fly Sometimes when they free-based I'd write down what they'd recite And on yellow legal paper schemes soared high as flags and kites Daytimes matching breathing with a sea-lion of a man Shaking on a bed as wet as waves across the sand And no music came from any band And if there was a song, it is a song I wish I didn't understand Help and participate instead of copy and paste There are other houses I could mention All of them had basements and a perilous intention Stomping dirt away from roots in fever-rooms of pension My own dreams beat steadily, the outside world held in suspension Daytimes matching breathing with a sea-lion of a man Shaking on a bed as wet as waves across the sand. And no music came from any band, And if there was a song, it is a song I wish I didn't understand Can't Control His hand fit all the way across my ribs Hotter than the heat a woodfire gives In an empty room couch cushions on the floor lined up as a bed beside a board I went outside and cut three grassblades down Wide as my arm, tall as my crown I found a peanut can and here's what I did I splayed the blades out on my sheet And where they met I placed the yellow lid Trying to control what I can't control Trying to control what I can't control Help and participate instead of copy and paste On the radio at Sunset we aced a quiz We ran the beach together with our answer And my feet couldn't outrun his From a phonebooth where a heavy perfume rained We'd ring the station to be winners At least that was the game In the jungle underneath the towering jungle-king We built our own decor, we didn't try to make sense out of anything Weaving newsprint placements, still-lifes out of junk Nets and tree-trunk barriers There was Patience but I was the only one not drunk Trying to control what I can't control Trying to control what I can't control Trying to control what I can't control Trying to control what I can't control And the native chauffeur did skip town And the rabbi says he intervened before the mafia took us down But then again, the rabbi is a certain kind of clown And if I put that summer in a box The box would be called "Lost and Found" The next time I would see a mass of cloud-high waves I had Patience and the comfort that she gave But it couldn't really make things any better Written out, then torn up, we were an essential undelivered love-letter Love-letter, love-letter, love-letter Trying to control what I can't control Trying to control what I can't control Trying to control what I can't control Trying to control what I can't control Black Mane Horses in lace on the window Gallop in winds of the evening My heart runs as well to try to keep you You and your powerful arms that are leaving I've put the lights behind me one by one And the moon is burning low The fog is cut in half by this black mane Blown back on my way to your glow Lanterns splash the walls with their smoke I've made for you a trap here in the dark I aim to fasten your body my lover Like an eye that gets fixed upon a spark I've put the lights behind me one by one And the moon is

the law school That is how I knew that he was bad Late one night I found my long hair resting on his lap I was faking sleep with all I had Holy holy holy badness When you try to separate it out it

search for sticks beside the river forked to hold a third one over amber colored fire My man was lying in a house of nylon as blue as water I saw his face turn grey I saw him searching for his power Not Wilto or Renato, Mister Berg or Mavis No one from the drug ring came to save us Maybe we found berries walking on a roadside shoulder Carrying a plastic bag of groceries One of us wouldn't get much older Help and participate instead of copy and paste Now I can't remember going back to Carnation I can see my man there in a flowerless plantation I don't need to try to use any imagination He is swaying in a staircase covered with some kind of plastic black creation I knew that things had gotten bad I wasn't sure we could go back Patience left, she had some things to pack My man looked for the poems in his mind that he had always had Mister TV Man he asked me how it felt to be a kid Was I nervous about the things that the adults did "Mister TV man, I learned that love means going" I said "Love means going where you think you'll wind up dead Where you think you'll wind up dead"
Trout Fishing Again Cruising up Highway 395 from Los angeles I've been working all week down there Where it's so bright Working, working, working Seems like forever Now there's nothing but the road to show my way Helped by the stars and the moon and my own headlights I don't know how far I've come, it's so hard to tell But I'm heading for mile 395, right here on Highway 395 White mountains on the right, I can't see them Sierras on the left, looming out there somewhere Saw two headlights about an hour ago Stopped at a bar where nobody stops Driving, driving, driving. Way on up the virgin white valley Betwaeen the Sierras and the Whites Saw a deer, saw a bear, thought I saw a mountain lion Darkness of the night and my eyes are getting blurry Darkness in seventeen waves of color Dark shadows in my peripheral vision Dawn is coming soon Must be at mile 343, got to keep on going It's so damn dark and hot in the car My "hemi 383" is just loafing along I'm going 95 and I know it's too fast I want this trip to last and last The shapes on the side of the road keep moving closer There's no one else in sight And I just blend with the darkness But the sun is coming I know John Muir is watching me go I can't see the country, I only feel my coffee cup The dark is changing, but I have forgotten why A golden orb tips its beak over the White Mountains Illuminating the Sierras, cutting my car in half Just in time, wherever I am Gravel under the tires, sagebrush on the road So cold gray white I know everything is going to freeze The big Brown trout is rising and I'll be there to greet him If I can dodge all these shapes crossing the road Between the dark and the light, the day and the night I am arrived between the thighs of the mountain ridges The water of snows and geysers trickle down the cleft Hot and cold mixing to create Tadpoles, frogs, mosquitos, rabbits, coyotes and trout The Owens River flows abundantly to stagnate in Lake Crowly Then flows down through the sliding high desert plain to L.A. Back where I started from Water then there nearly lifeless to quench the thirst of millions But I amm higher up, between the thighs where life begins The trout are rising, swimming up the Hot Creek To convict lake, to Mammoth, to the Devil's Postpile And beyond

Low Fidelity
Except For Love Once there was a time My body younger than my mind Out of a tin window I climbed And from the roof, the world was mine My long hair hung down loose On naked skin as white as moon But not as thin A virgin teen in wind outside Above the valley open wide I'd walk to the prow The cabin clearly my ship now The branches on the elder tree Lashed back and forth like waves at sea A moody wind came like a song The mountain's throat ten miles long Beneath my feet on tar and sand The cabin roof so far from land My writing fingers stained with ink My eyes made more to cry than blink A kid a fool for poetry A kid who closed her eyes to see The moody wind met moody me A king and queen midnight to three That's how I lost the limit of my human form Except for love Except for love Except for love Except for love Except for love Love Except for love Except for love Summerelo I know that when you wrote me You meant what you said But now the summer's over My phone's as good as dead I would rather dream of the sunshine And lying side by side in the shade I would rather dream your lips on mine Than hear songs we played I'm trying to forget You, my friend saw you last night She said, "I don't want to upset you But he's on another girl's fight" I would rather dream of the sunshine And lying side by side in the shade I would rather dream your lips on mine Than hear songs we played California Man You sent to me a photo Of the bed you brought from Mexico Of sculptured wood You know I'd be there if I could The blanket thrown across Was striped in red and black of course And with the rain outside You dream of stripes I wish I'd tried (Some say) Some say you're a willful driven king (Some say) Some say you're the American Dream (I say) I say you're the grown-up boy With eyes of joy That ough to wear my ring My stone streets and fountains Against your windmill, your mountains And your carnivorous plants Don't have a chance You gave me honeysuckle blooms Salmon from your basement rooms And I left tipsy On your brother's whisky (Some say) Some say you're a willful driven king (Some say) Some say you're the American Dream (I say) I say you're the grown-up boy with eyes of joy That ought to wear my ring (Wear my ring) And if your devils took from me The glasses bought in gay Paris I only hope they wear them at their jamboree Driving with the windows down You pulled your cap off like a clown On that dirt road, your cheeks became a rose (Some say) Some say you're a willful driven king (Some say) Some say you're the American Dream (I say) I say you're the grown-up boy with eyes of joy That ought to wear my ring (Wear my ring) Howling like the wind Beneath the moon that's fat or thin Someday I'll walk with you And I would tell you where I've been And in my sleep now In this busy town I write songs for you Without a sound (Some say) Some say you're a wilful driven king (Some say) Some say you're the American Dream (I say) I say you're the grown-up boy with eyes of joy That undo to wear my ring My mind lately bears a heavy load Up here in record-making mode Still I don't forget you Still I don't forget you (California man) California man (California man) California man (California man) California man I will not forget you I won't forget you Hey Little Boy Hey, little boy Where are you from Hey, little boy Can you bring me some of your love Your fine love Hey, little boy What have you done Hey, little boy Have you gotten in to my blood My red blood Hey, little boy Out in the night Hey, little boy Did you take a bite of my heart My whole heart Hey, little boy When will you come Hey, little boy Do you still want some of my love My love Can You Run Once I waited for the mail to come With letters one by one Now I wait before the screen And I don't know how much words mean In my bed I know a man With skin as smooth as ocean sand But I'm half gone across the sea And dreaming is my luxury Tell me, am I still allowed to dream You're still here As brown and long of limb As a deep forest deer But can you run as fast as me Sundays spent beneath the sun Have vanished like the books and fun We used to have before the little one In our house, a love affair From there to here and here to there But finding us all three at once inside is rare Finding us all three at once inside is rare You're still here As brown and long of limb As a deep forest deer But can you run as fast as me Everybody has advice For waking up the part of me That's nice Or used to be when I had time When I had the time You're still here As brown and long of limb As a deep forest deer But can you run as fast as me There's so many plans that I'm supposed to make I swear I'd never take a break But everyday that has still remained And I guess I know it is a crime To not imagine future time So I wear the stripes I can't disguise I wear the stripes I can't disguise You're still here As brown and long of limb As a deep forest deer Can you run as fast as me And you'd think from this That I'm a hundred But it's just that bliss Has gotten scarcer Even than a lover's kiss Has gotten scarcer Even than a lover's kiss Though you've heard my dumb complaint You know that I still love to paint And sing for you, and sing for you And sing for you, and sing for you You're still here As brown and long of limb As a deep forest deer Can you run as fast as me Rings With rings on their fingers, you can see them on the train All the boys and girls with rings on their fingers But you, you're my secret candy-boy, baby With lashes that blind me and bind me beside you Bind me beside you With the heat of your hot summer eyes You're holding me still, thoughts have all flown Darling, I wouldn't have tried if I'd known Right in my sight are your sugar legs and your sugar arms Ringless fingers hold my hand Let's take a train with all the boys and girls, baby Let's run out of this town With the heat of your hot summer eyes You're holding me still and my thoughts have all flown Darling, I wouldn't have tried if I'd known Secret Song I got a secret, my friend I got a secret again I got a thing to make me sing by myself When I'm lost I get found And defeat can't get me down I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it It is not a burning star or a futuristic car It's not a pill, but you know still I want to take it It is not a little boy, but it makes me feel such joy Like a dance that fits your pants and makes you shake it I got a secret, my friend I got a secret again I got a thing to make me sing by myself When I'm lost I get found And defeat can't get me down I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it I cannot help growing old with a few stories untold I guess I can't stop myself growing old at all But a secret water flows and like the greenest plant that grows I'll drink it up, I'll drink it down, I'll drink it all I got a secret, my friend I got a secret again I got a thing to make me sing by myself When I'm lost I get found And defeat can't get me down I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it My secret said to me How I wish you could get free I told my secret I was doing all I can I said I have too much love I've lost my guidance from above And, secret, don't you sure look quite like a living man I got a secret, my friend I got a secret again I got a thing to make me sing by myself When I'm lost I get found And defeat can't get me down I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it I got a secret and I think I'm gonna keep it I got a secret, I got a secret, I got a secret I got a secret, I got a secret, I got a secret And I think I'm gonna keep it Can't Stand Well, you can't stand standing where you are And you can't stand up in a moving car You fought so hard to go You smashed your own window And you can't stand the sun When your rain feels like it has to flow and flow Well, you can't stand standing where you are And you can't stand up in a moving car You fought so hard to go You smashed your own window And you can't stand the sun When your rain feels like it has to flow and flow Flow Well, you lie about lying down And the lies you tell mix your heart around You'd like to scream the poem About love having a home That lasts more than a moment out of, out of bounds I lift my cup to you tonight Well, you lie about lying down And the lies you tell mix your heart around You'd like to scream the poem About love having a home That lasts more than a moment out of, out of bounds Out of bounds Out of bounds Out of bounds I lift my cup to you tonight Daughter Of A Teacher Said the son of a teacher to

calling rub you wrong Mountain road after too much wine Your hand combs back your hair It's plain we must make up our minds To land apart or as one somewhere Do you want to be my cloud or do you want me to be your cloud Do you want to be my sun or do you want me to be your sun Do you want to be my cloud or do you want me to be your cloud Do you want to be my sun or do you want me to be your sun It's hard, hard this time But my song's no crime Tiger Song I'm in love with a girl who's stronger than me Yeah I'm in love with her, I've become her prey, you see She's a full-moon blooded tiger, once I was running free I'm in love with a girl and she's stronger than me I'm in love with a girl who's smarter than me Yeah I'm in love with her, now I'm doomed to jeopardy And I would be a liar if I said the bright one's me I'm in love with a girl and she's smarter than me I'm in love with a girl who's faster than me Yeah I'm in love with her, so I eat her dust and weep She's a rapid climbing spider, just about too swift to see I'm in love with a girl and she's faster than me I'm in love with a girl who's stronger than me Yeah I'm in love with her, I've become her prey, you see She's a full-moon colored tiger, and I used to be free I'm in love with a girl and she's stronger than me Babe Babe, I see you're holding yourself tight You press your ribs down on the right You're driving drunk again tonight You have a cigarette and you're patting down your pockets for a light Babe, you got a ragged pair of pants Your face is trembling like a dance In your belly something's climbing higher like a nest of ants On their way to the light It's time to rest Babe, it's time to rest You push yourself until you crack I don't see how you can get back From the ledge where you can hear your angles sing From the ledge where you can feel so painfully everything Inside you and around you Babe, I see why you need your wine You are racing against time Your spiritual ambition makes the sweat flow from your mind Babe, can you make it with just a taste Are you okay with all this space You don't know it but you're full of grace Though concentration is angry on your face It's time to rest Babe, it's time to rest You push yourself until you crack I don't see how you can get back From the ledge where you can hear your angles sing From the ledge where you can feel so painfully everything Inside you and around you It's time to rest Babe, it's time to rest It's time to rest, babe It's time to rest

Last Song I'm not gonna say I need you here Across miles miles and miles of years and tears I won't cry your name out in a song again I have learned to hold my breath and to count to ten Honey, you played the bass and I was writing We were kids who'd both grown up fighting And everything about the future was exciting Everything, everything, everything In the street I heard a man saying he missed his wife I would have liked to've heard you say that once or twice Our separate roads have shown us flame and shown us ice And it's easy now to doubt the myth of veils and falling rice I'm not gonna say I need you here Across miles and miles and miles and years of tears I won't cry your name in song again I have learned to hold my breath and to count to ten Honey, you played the bass and I was writing We were kids who'd both grown up fighting Honey, you played the bass and I was writing We were kids who'd both grown up I'm not gonna say I need you here Across miles and miles and miles of years and tears I won't cry your name out in a song again I have learned to hold my breath and to count to ten
Tempted Tune (prologue) When the feathers fly up And the feathers float down When we slide into sheets Without even a sound When the blankets fall off And we're laughing like clown I'm tempted to just let you stay When the bottle of wine Lies empty at last And you kiss my mouth Not too slow not too fast When the candle has become A thing of the past Then I'm tempted to just let you stay But I'm a girl on her own I'm not the kind one can own So I tuck myself in And you let yourself out And away with the wind dreams are blown So don't ask me again, or I'll show you the door Even though my arms say "je t'adore, je t'adore" It's the same if you're rich It's the same if you're poor I am tempted to just let you stay When the feathers fly up And the feathers float down When we slide into sheets Without even a sound When the blankets fall off And we're laughing like clown I'm tempted to just let you stay Stay, stay, stay
Don't want a man I saw you in a picture And you sent me several words You looked so fucking good You looked so good it was absurd I messaged you, you answered "Let's write an epic poem" And then before I knew it You were here inside my home Go slowly now my stranger With your Tom Waits black eyed look Your laptod's on the table And your coart is on the hook But I don't want a man No, I don't want a man I don't want a man I don't want a man You called and you were walking But I had my headphones on I don't feel like talking I swear you can go on and on Outside in the sunshine You told me you're in love But I'm recording songs That you refuse to see the meaning of I don't want a man I don't want a man I don't want your handsomeness I don't want your perfume of manly love You seem to think is sent from up above No, I don't want to rearrange my home Don't want to compromise I'm happier alone, I'm happier alone 'Cause I don't want a man No, no, no, I don't want a man I don't want a man I don't want a man I don't want a man No, no, no, no, I don't want a man Freeze Where U R
Woman With A Star I woke up after a night of drinking with my neighbors and friends I remember what I said to them, I said I'd tell all the boys and men "no, no, no" again 'cause it's not the moment for veils It's not the time for tuxedo tails I'm on my own, all the birds in my tree have flown And I'm a woman with a star that's always shone I cleaned the house and brought the bottles to the bottle bin Feeling mean to my body, feeling both too fat and too thin But still not afraid to tell it straight And I'll take good care of myself, until again I'm feeling great 'Cause it's not the moment for veils It's not the time for tuxedo tails I'm on my own, all the birds in my tree have flown And I'm a woman with a star that's always shone It's not the moment for veils It's not the time for tuxedo tails I'm on my own, all the birds in my tree have flown And I'm a woman with a star that's always shone Always Shone I Yove You Lay down your head Lay down your head And take my time Lay down your head Lay down your head Our love's no crime Over and under the covers Over and under the covers Your arms take me Blue Light Although we're young, we're still unhappy Waiting for a word on the screen Our hair's undone and we don't dress snappy And the blue light from our phones makes us mean Facebook is fun, but it's not funny To sacrifice a decade or two Instead of sunshine, kisses and honey You "like" me and I "like" you I give thumbs up, whoopty doo Whatsapp, Instagram, Youtube channel You're such a hard judge from your hidden panel Facetime, erase time, parsley sage and thyme Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Although we're young, we're still unhappy Waiting for a word on the screen Our hair's undone and we don't dress snappy The blue light from our phones makes us mean The blue light from our phones makes us mean The blue light from our phones makes us mean You Were Mine Are all the roses that you gave me holy When I hold them you are here again Are the sheets we slept on blessed I take my rest on them Are the sheets we slept in blessed I take my rest on them To dream of when you were mine When you were mine, when water was wine When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime When you were mine, when water was wine When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime You were mine, water was wine You were mine, disco was a church bell chime When you were mine, water was wine You were mine and disco was a church bell chime Are all the roses that you gave me holy When I hold them you are here again Are the sheets we slept on blessed I take my rest on them To dream of when you were mine When you were mine, when water was wine When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime When you were mine, when water was wine When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime When you were mine, when water was wine When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime When you were mine, when water was wine When you were mine, disco was a church bell chime Hold, hold the memory of these sheets Hold with me the thorny stem that never cheats I Do Not Need Repair So many times I am surprised You have left again So many times I ask Myself if I should change Should I change Should I change How many friends will say I'm broken I should be like them How long will I know I do not need repair I am happy in the rain by myself I'm not like you I'm breathing Then suddenly I'm breaking down After a dream where I'd been found I do not need repair I do not need repair I do not need repair I'm a machine who needs her grease But not to be policed Or buy into consensual ideals I am happy in the rain by myself I'm not like you I'm breathing Then suddenly I'm breaking down After a dream where I'd been found The Pattern When you're near me Raven's wings hit my heart Make it dark Lift it high Lift me lightly When you're near me I don't know it can't be White arms black Beat slow And I can't go When you're near me I often fall Into the call Of your wild hair When you're near me (I'm right there) I often walk Into the dark (I'm right there) You find me Window Gun I'm waiting for a man I'm waiting for a man He'll get here when he can I'm waiting for a sign I'm waiting for a sign 'Cause I don't know if he has got what's mine Maybe we'll go dancing on the moon If dancing's what we'll do then let's go soon Do you want to be a star We can dance exactly where we are I'm waiting 'til my time I'm waiting 'til my time I can feel it comin' 123456789 I'm waiting 'til you come I'm waiting 'til you come With a window cracked wide enough for my gun Maybe we'll go dancing on the moon If dancing's what we'll do then let's go soon Do you want to be a star We can dance exactly where we are We can dance exactly where we are Quite Clean You said the sun's coming out And just the shape of your sweet mouth Got me out shooting stars that night Got me forgetting all my fright Forgetting all my fright Forgetting all my fright And if the leaves on the trees Move so suddenly It's in the wind of words you speak That make me let go all I seek Let go all I seek Let go all I seek Let go all I seek There's a wave in the sky A flook of birds they're rolling by Pulling me to your side They take away my tired sigh Away my tired sigh Away my tired sigh A lady mountain in green In her lap we will dream In the shadows a stream For washing both of us quite clean All of us quite clean Both of us quite clean All of us quite clean

Thinking of poems I do not dare recite Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday night Talking 'bout, talking 'bout stars Shining far piercing our hearts Comets and astroids will not tear us apart Talking 'bout, talking 'bout Talking 'bout, talking 'bout stars The night and your eyes have taken bites of me The night and your eyes say one plus one makes three But two's enough for me Morning might, morning might come I don't care Just give me some Of to what I am the opposite of numb Morning might, morning might Morning might, morning might come The night and your eyes have taken bites of me The night and your eyes say one plus one makes three But two's enough for me Two's enough for me The night and your eyes have taken bites of me The night and your eyes say one plus one makes three But two's enough for me Two's enough for me Days and Days Three days on Then one half hour she looks away I ask her what's wrong She knows I I need her full time gaze Double shifts For days and days and days And days, and days, and days, and days... In she walks She spins around with a dancer's moves She spins me true Two green eyes Above the floor I painted blue I lay her down and lie down too For days, and days, and days, and days... Every day they come and go Mostly fast but sometimes slow And every time is a surprise No matter how well we get to know each other It's always different Often challenging and never simple Often challenging and never simple It's never simple I lost track of the amount of times I thought I caught the rhythm clapping on the two and four Or speeding up and slowing down like an orchestra But just as often I get distracted and I'm shocked By a piano pizzicato note on the violin That hits as if it were a tympani or something Dome In the scariest room in the house That's where I took my rest I lined up arms around me And to sleep Itried my best Upon the bed I built a dome Of snow packed dense and white Inside I hung up tapestries Of a castle a king and a knight A strong brown bear stood guard at the door And I kept as quiet as clouds In the bear's paw an invisible sword But my heart still beat too loud Outside my dome the scariest room Had a window sunk deep in the sand At the pane the eyes of a ravenous wolf Saw me from the face of a man I knew if I dared a breath or a blink Before dreams took me away My life's pure light would become black as ink And I wouldn't be singing today Ego Boii Drove outta town in fast wind and four wheels We found the place and kicked the door with our heels Unopened bottles and bottles of champagne Waiting there with my name and let me tell you how it feels When we saw peacocks under tall weepin' trees We worried that they were a kind of police Surveillance 2.0 you bet I'l let you know Your feathers mean you gotta say please Ego boy It's your ego boy Out to destroy My ego boy Come a little closer It's a roller coaster You draped a leg in dirty white over a chair A man appear ed at the bottom of the stairs And there was not a bed in sight but we weren't staying there All night and next to you, we were light as air Ego boy It's your ego boy Out to destroy My ego boy Ego boy It's your ego boy Out to destroy My ego boy Come a little closer It's a roller coaster Ego boy It's your ego boy Out to destroy My ego boy Ego boy It's your ego boy Out to destroy My ego boy Feel My Love You can ask for a million things or more Burn my candle, knock down my front door Yes we can talk about it But while we talk about it You got to keep in mind a single golden rule You got to feel my love You can shake me Yeah you can take me You can get crazy I'm not a baby And we don't have to talk If you don't want to talk But just remember there's a single golden rule I got to feel your love I shine a light on you You shine a light on me You make me feel confused You make me feel free And we can fight about it But if we fight about it You know there'll always be a single golden rule You got to feel my love Sometimes I run away Sometimes you make me stay You get me on your train I'm not afraid to break But if I got to break And if I'm gonna break You better not forget our single golden rule I got to fee your love Feel my love I Want

Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? (Rod Stewart cover / The Lighnin 3 / Live at Café de la Danse, 31-10-2012) She sits alone waiting for suggestions He's so nervous avoiding all the questions His lips are dry, his heart is gently pounding Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking If you want my body and you think I'm sexy Come on, sugar, let me know If you really need me, just reach out and touch me Come on, honey, tell me so He's acting shy looking for an answer Come on, honey, let's spend the night together Now hold on a minute before we go much further Give me a dime so I can call my mother If you want my body and you think I'm sexy Come on, sugar, let me know If you really need me, just reach out and touch me Come on, honey, tell me so His heart's beating like a drum 'Cause at last he's got this girl home Relax, baby, now we are alone They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing Two total strangers, but that ain't what they're thinking Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining They got each other neither one's complaining If you want my body and you think I'm sexy Come on, sugar, let me know If you really need me, just reach out and touch me Come on, honey, tell me so
Days Of Joy (John Ulysses Mitchell feat. Brisa Roché and Yann Destal / Meta-Mor-Phases LP) The storm is on its way Just breathe and close your eyes There's nowhere you can run This one is coming from inside The snake will shed its skin And its colors multiply As we give into release We butterfly We butterfly We're brought into the storm None other than our own Illusions will get blown In the raging of the storm Of the storm The singing of the sirens Is ringing in my ears I'm writing all their words down I'm working their philosophy Inviting us along Deep inside of healing songs They we may finally see We are but swans We are but swans We glide out on the lake All together wide awake The days are long and warm In our days of joy Days of joy There in the liveliness of cheers Your mystic moons are shining clear Right through the pearls of joyful tears As you hold now what you hold dear And like a lover you will linger There at the doors before you enter Without a veil upon your nature Inside the sacred architecture We glide out on the lake All together wide awake The days are long and warm In our days of joy Days of joy Days of joy Days of joy
Don't Give Up (Peter Gabriel cover / Private Pepper feat. Brisa Roché) In this proud land we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name But no one wants you when you lose Don't give up 'Cause you have friends Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I saw it all around Never thought that I could be affected Thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We don't need much of anything Don't give up 'Cause somewhere there's a place Where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Please, don't give up Got to walk out of here I can't take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no one needs Don't give up 'Cause you have friends Don't give up You're not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You still have us Don't give up now We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know it's never been easy Don't give up 'Cause I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up
Don't Think Twice It's All Right (Bob Dylan cover) Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe Even if you don't know by now Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It'll never do some how When your rooster crows at the break a dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm traveling on Don't think twice, it's all right Ain't no use turning on your light, babe The light I never knowed Ain't no use turning on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was something you could do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talking anyway Don't think twice, it's all right Ain't no use calling out my name, babe Like you never done before Ain't no use calling out my name, gal I can't hear you any more Still I'm thinking and I'm wondering as I'm wallking way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul Don't think twice, it's all right So long, honey baby Where I'm bound, I can't tell But goodbye is too good a word, babe So I just say fare thee well Now I ain't saying you treated me unkind You could have done better, but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time Don't think twice, it's all right Don't think twice, it's all right
Du bout des yeux ( The Chase bonus track ) Ces petits pas Qui te suivaient Où que tu ailles Je les revois Aller vers toi Vaille que vaille Des petits pas Toujours feutrés Comme à Versailles L'espoir qu'un ?? Le coeur ??? Maille après maille Ils trébuchaient Se relevaient Tracaient leurs masses Se retrouvaient En équilibre Au fil des traces Et savouraient Le pur bonheur Du face à face Avec tes traces De petits pas Que rien n'efface Tes yeux riaient Je me souviens Quand tu pleurais Ils m'enchantaient Me fascinaient Me délivraient Me révélaient À un silence Que rien n'efface L'éternité Genoux à terre Je te l'offrais Quand je rêvais Que ton royaume À moi s'ouvrait Je veux surprendre À chaque instant À t'effleurer À t'effleurer À t'effleurer À t'effleurer
Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode cover / Brokenstra feat. Brisa Roché) Words like violence break the silence Come crashing in into my little world Painful to me, pierce right through me Can't you understand, oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Here in my arms In my arms Vows are spoken to be broken Feelings are intense, words are trivial Pleasures remain, so does the pain Words are meaningless and forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Here in my arms In my arms

Make A Sound (Lou Doillon cover / Sylvain feat. Brisa Roché / Houngan LP) Oh I am weary Oh I am torn And I try to smile And I swallow the thorns How I am acid And broken down And I try to pretend I'm fine on my own, on my ow, on my own How many times Can you stumble to the ground And get back up No, don't you bother, I'm fine Oh the lights you adore They're burning me down And as hard as I try I can't hold your hand, hold your hand 'Cause the chips on my shoulders They're dragging me down Like leaded wings They keep me shackled to the ground And as hard as I try They don't lift me that high So I'll hide at the bottom And I'll rest for a while, for a while, for a while Oh I am tired and blue And I can't pretend I can't pretend, I can't pretend It's because of you And the arrows they blow They're striking me down And as hard as I try I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound No, I can't make a sound No, I can't make a sound No, I can't make a sound And as hard as I try I can't make a sound And as hard as I try I can't make a sound, make a sound
Random Rules (Silver Jews cover / Approaching Perfection: A Tribute To DC Berman LP) In 1984 I was hospitalized for approaching perfection Slowly screwing my way across Europe They had to make a correction Broken and smoking where the infrared deer plunge in the digital snake I tell you, they make it so you can't shake hands When they make your hands shake I know you like to line dance Everything so democratic and cool But, baby, there's no guidance when random rules I know that a lot of what I say has been lifted off of men's room walls Maybe I've crossed the wrong rivers and walked down all the wrong halls Nothing can change the fact that we used to share a bed That's why it scared me so when you turned to me and said Yeah you look like someone Yeah you look like someone who up and left me low Boy, you look like someone I used to know I know you'd like to line dance Everything so democratic and cool But, baby, there's no guidance when random rules I asked the painter why the roads are colored black He said, "Steve, it's because people leave And no highway will bring them back" So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger But before I go, I've gotta ask you, dear, about that tan line on your ring finger No one should have two lives Now you know my middle names are Wrong and Right Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight No one should have two lives Now you know my middle names are Wrong and Right Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight To give tonight To give tonight To give tonight
