A Protest

about

This song was originally intended as a love song for two guitars. How two instruments would have expressed such feeling? I wondered the song should have been played but voice and drums only while the two guitars should have sang. When "A Protest EP" project came into my mind I thought that giving up the "Love Song For Guitars" to add some lyrics could have turned out good. That's why I spent my Saturday autumn evening shouting on my car while driving across a country highway. After the melody came out I passed a whole Saturday night working on the lyrics. And that's what you get! Track was mixed by Paolo Pugliese, a friend from the band "Les Fauves". The song closes with Jon Hardy from the indie pop band The Pristines.

lyrics

Surrender to the stars
An dream of broken hearts
The silhouetted pines now coming to my sight
The solitary path got pale by the moonlight
I'm diving in the lake
To keep my soul alive.

Valleys and fields
On my feets, standing still
Blades of grass for my tears
Join my sad melody
Calling friends, enemies,
Walk on by in my dreams
Hold my hand
sStay with me
Waiting quiet by the trees
Watch me now.

I watch her shadow grow
Enlived by the fire
Her tear the darkest fall
Projected on the strand

She's pretty and she knows
So cheerful and alive
The Moonlight stole a smile
for every tear I dried.

The torrent voice rings strong
Sbove a star-bright well
'Come take this woodland tale
And sing it by the lake

May all the strenght and grace
Enlight her pretty face
Just like a glorious dream
On beds of velvet drapes

Mere of beauty like the grace which lies upon the mountain place
When forest of romance will dance the night away.

Get down and stay.
