On their first Lp 'Sequence 01' Tara King th unveiled their very own setting, both dark and sensual where electronic, trip-hop and downtempo roamed together. Tara King th. was given the opportunity to spin the textures laid on " sequence 01 " at their furthermost, weaving an outstanding soundtrack for the electro tale "Harold". While collaborating on an extensive list of projects (concerts, remixes, compilations, music for film works...) and producing a stand-alone EP (the "echoes of the future" EP), Tara King th. released its second album, "The Tara King Theory". Besides being a significant step into the band's development it is also softer and more serene. Inward-led, this second album blended music 'on a cinematic trip' with boudoir-like electro pop. Now with " A Sigh of relief ", Tara King th. avoids stumbling on the repetition block and delivers an acoustic and raw record. Way acoustic and raw. The band turns away from the electronic buzzword and strips down to the bare essentials: a soft-key electric piano, shrouding and subdued drums, a softly haunting voice -breathy and sultry to boot.
Sequence 01
Tightrope walker Groping my way in I find the scene The scene of the crime Everything is covered in dust Was it only a dream How would I know I see her body twisting Under a charmed oppressive air She' s dancing with my laughs Dancing with rage Shaking her hands around my eyes It drives me mad Falling in the fit , a fit of angst Falling in a fit of madness You wanted to make love With your guardian angel You walk on air I'm the only one Who can pull the strings You walk on air You're a tightrope walker Above the life I thought out for you You walk on air…
Ex Sitting in the cold, like a bottle in the sea, I grow stiff Kicking a faded rose Words couple in my head, and give birth To sickening fragrances Children cross the street The stinckbomb rushes on me I'm old, I'm cold Scarcely feel alive Everyone talks so loud If I was so bold I would shout abuse At everybody's round, round, round, round... Broken away from everyday's hurry, I soften Roaming around the street Sleeplessnesses couple in my body, to create A deformed sensitiveness Children cross the street The stinkbomb rushes on me I'm old, I'm cold Scarcely feel alive If I was so bold I would shout abuse At everybody's round...
Cold Scarred Your back was turned Curled like an embryo Take another face You will be kissed again I was cold as I mouthed the words And crawled across the mirror I wait Await the next breath Your name Like ice into my heart A shallow grave A monument to the ruined age Ice in my eyes And eyes like ice don't move Screaming at the moon Another past time Your name Like ice into my heart Everything as cold as life Can no one save you? Everything As cold as silence And you never say a word Your name Like ice into my heart Your name Like ice into my heart
Screwy Girl This kind of girl likely to make Your demons lying down Your demons lying down Take heed of warnings Take heed of warnings I'm here waiting for this faddy girl Lucky charm I lost my lucky charm Without meaning it I lost my lucky charm Without meaning it She's able to plunder you She plunged a dagger into my back Into my back A screwy girl Like a dream that haunts me Why should I wait here Suddenly I see her, suddenly I see her I'm fired at point-blanck range…
The Tara King Theory Fourth dimension There's a storm, brewing outside, On the roof, patters of the rain, There's a fire, burning inside, In the hearth, crackles of the logs. Come closer, our nest is warm and sweet. Come nearer, our nest is here. My fourth dimension is your scent Thank heavens I've a bent for your scent. There's a blast, growing outside By the house, trembling of the trees. There are us, asleep inside, There are us, lying side by side… Come closer, your skin is warm and sweet, Come nearer, my lips are here. In my hand, your hair in curls is light, In my mouth, your skin is silk. My fourth dimension is your scent Thank heavens I've a bent for your scent My first vibration is your scent… My own perfection is your scent… My fourth dimension is your scent Thank heavens I've a bent for your scent… There's a storm, brewing outside, On the roof, patters of the rain. There's a fire, burning inside, In the hearth, crackles of the logs, the logs… Five light feelings Sighing as the rain comes down Memories fade away But I can remember Five light feelings. One feeling for one sense First I kept in memory The scent of the moss Saturated with rainwater One feeling for one sense Then I can see again The piercing light between clouds After the storm One feeling for one sense And I recall The frail sound Of the latest tiny drops One feeling for one sense Then I remember you Taste of your lips Caress of your skin Trees above and trees around Taste of your skin Caress of your lips Clouds above and sun around. Waterblade
Every time I heard of you my heart missed a beat I had to find you again And everywhere the wind whispered dreams I believed in love at first sight And nothing mattered, nothing mattered any more, but finding you again. Every time I thought of you my hands started to shake I had to meet you again And everywhere your shadow pursued me It was the last thing that ought to be done But nothing mattered, nothing mattered any more, but meeting you again. When would I come across a sign When would the fortune smile on me... So I moved heaven and earth I left no stone unturned I had to ask you who you were And nowhere I couldn't pick up your trail I had to track you down 'Cause nothing mattered, nothing mattered I had to ask you who you were... Once Upon a Dream In the still of night Heavy eyelids Sore neck and shoulders In the darkness Blurred outlines Some moving shapes My nights are full of ghost ships Sirens songs and far away shores My dreams are filled with stars hunters Out-of-the-way rainbows But I got no control And sometimes There is no escaping Once upon a dream In the shades of night Something is coming closer Draughts along my arm Shivers down my spine Droning in my ears Trouble breathing Whisperings everywhere I'm scared Trouble breathing Hissings everywhere I'm scared Once upon a dream In the wee small hours Once upon a dream In the wee small hours I'm coming round Soap Opera Don't cut me dead Sit down and look over here. Don't take me for a ride Everything leads me to think that time is on our side Just give the word and I'll take care of you. I can't bear these lies Don't make me laugh You're wasting your breath Please don't lay the blame on me It will go wrong in the end Take time to trust me Caus' for all that I'm still here, I'm still here, still here… Time is on our side. Each in turn we give way to anger Don't ever again talk to me like that For heaven's sake, Just give the word and I'll take care of you.
There are still things to gaze at Twirl, I twirl as I can. Try, I try to make me giddy. Simply, I'm going round in circles In a place that gets narrow' and narrower. Hold on and keep down your desire for vanishing There are still things to gaze at... Hold on, keep down your longing for transforming There are still things to try out... The walls around me go out of shape I see the wrong side of a picture, The ground gives way under me I'm on the brink of blackout. Twirl, I twirl as I can. Try, I try to make me giddy. Simply, I'm going round in circles, In a place that gets narrow' and narrower
Welcome to the real world (alt. version)
So I moved heaven and earth I left now I had to ask you who you were And nowhere I couldn't pick up your trail I had to track you down 'Cause nothing mattered, nothing mattered I had to ask you Who you were So I moved heaven and earth I left now I had to ask you who you were And nowhere I couldn't pick up your trail I had to track you down 'Cause nothing mattered, nothing mattered I had to ask you Who you were

Hirondelle & Beretta OST
L'enquête Je suis une hirondelle Sensuelle et mortelle Comme un Beretta Je glisse entre vos doigts Je cherche quelque chose Un je ne sais quoi Une inspiration Le grand frisson Je suis une hirondelle Je me fais la belle J'ai trop attendu Vraiment je n'en peux plus Je suis un Beretta Intraitable et froid Sans âme et sans loi Mais j'ai un coeur qui bat je cours et je le suis Je cherche et je fuis J'aimerai pour une fois Poser mon Beretta Je voudrais m'arrêter Me laisser porter Ah non, cette fois-là Il ne m'échappera pas
Cosmic Nap Feel your breath In zeroes and ones Hold your waist Just a hologram 3D gestures Bring no answer Distant stars Shine no more Like pebbles On the shore I'm in floating point state Spinning around And around I am a dead weight I tapped the screen Picture wouldn't go It won't be the end Here in my space suit Always with you Teaching myself So many things To reach you I'm having so much fun Dazed by the sun Space camp wasn't that hot Station's signal got lost In outer space Look at us We want to go on Surrender Gone

Arrogant Doll What a poor flattering speech To my sharpened ears Oooooh Please, Please, Suprise me some more There's an aftertaste of lust in your eyes I'm an Arrogant doll Erratic, Cute and So Sweet but cranky and unpredictable Do you still fancy me now that you know me You came to me with this obnoxious grin on your face To give a tireless, thoughtless proposal Oh dear, How dare you talk to me like that I'm an Arrogant doll Erratic, Cute and So Sweet but cranky and unpredictable An arrogant doll But Not the doll you whish Do you still fancy me now that you know me
A Sigh Of Relief
(Acoustic Recording LP)
I don't want to sleep I'm too scared to harm I can only disappear Without even a sigh I have my demons I have my fears But nothing you can fight So please, get out of my head I don't feel pain I wouldn't even feel pleasure, I'm so close to the floor I'm Too close to the end It's coming, sourly i'm slowly falling asleep, I am cold It will go away…
Dream(T) Mutation
(Acoustic Recording LP) How can i evolve In this twilight I traverse with a tripping step I only missed my chance You'll be careful by tracking down the rain If you clank my arms If you wheedle me Until the room i foray How can I lay down in a nap Borrow manners of a well tried person A liar with so pretty apparences And all of my thoughts raises, in the mist, To a dreamt trove in the middle of nowhere So I trudge myself and my word will pass over in silence I still have to follow the cliche tropics and behind the rainbow, stay(ing) hidden. All my heroes are desuets I dreamt of a meadow where from nothing could escape I dreamt of a sky where from nothing could come But I'm sitting in a forest, where everything can happen
Hold of Birds (Uncolored Past EP) Well my heart is all grown up now, boy Wait to see, my heart , how it sounds Time has come to leave these clammy woods We can't hear anything in this hole of birds Your time is done Won't you please come home Long Time No See (Uncolored Past EP) He's been to the sun, he's been to the moon He's been looking for somebody's good Won't you follow me when the clouds are down On the meadow Come with me when the grass is brown Deep and mellow He's a lonely bird, he's crossing my mind He is chattering with my animal Won't you follow me when the clouds are down On the meadow Come with me when the grass is brown Deep and mellow He's been wandering, he's been locking in He has been somehow disappointed Won't you follow me when the clouds are down On the meadow Come with me when the grass is brown Deep and mellow Magnetic Bounds (Uncolored Past EP) I don't now what everyone see It seems to be a strange reality As a silent movie I will stand, walk and reach this light I will roll, fall in dark holes and crawl In red magnetic bounces And I keep grooving in the everlasting space Scrolling and looping in the space echo Spinning in spiral in some strange magnetic fields
Pretty Mess
(English version) Who Am I You decide… My memories are gone… Call me whatever you want I just like the way you talk A girl like me, always gets by Do whatever you want Time has come for me to say hello Well ! hello Here are the Beginnings of my release I don't know who I shall fear, Thanks for your Heaven Smile Thank you dear shrink for your time This pretty mess is almost gone Well I'm fine ! Slow Quest And Misery (Uncolored Past EP) You are a loon, you are stuck With your reverberation You have got no blue Get down off your rock! You would have preferred a great great wind As when people simply turned crazy Sheltered behind a thick sand's screen A loon is a nature's whim Blow down your doline From now you are fine You know how you have got to be But your arms are almost rusty You would better not sit on your delusional aims The Drunk And The Bliss (Uncolored Past EP) All the way along that night My mind went around that boy Pretty little angel eyes Sparkling in the dawn He'll miss me He's gonna see When I realized that I was all alone Free from a spell My hangover was slowly sinking low He'll miss me He's gonna see The Hum and The Hiss (Uncolored Past EP) Once more it could have been a heady evening You could have lost your mind and turned into something Ballroom is empty and you sink in your bubbly drink While the last dancers are twirling around Now you drift along in your fantasy Cradled by the hum, dazzled by the hiss You leave this place against your will and wander in The sleepy town, until it starts again... Uncolored Past (Uncolored Past EP) Should I remember my early try Some saturated memories And few blurred sensations But all have slowly disappeared An odd feeling, tasteless Comes through my mind A few fragments of desire But always dusty, without sense Still makes me want to go back I have laid down my dreams Stranded my thoughts Held on my breath And faded away In a weird uncolored past
