Oh What have you done my love
To the nest I built
Such a Slow paced drug
A powerful pill
Tiny bits of heart
And my coffee's cold
My mornings are dark
And my soul is old
I keep singing loud
A Long tiring breath
And a pinch of salt
To a love that is tasteless
Take me to that safe place
I gotta stop lying
I gotta stop lying to myself
Take me to that safe place
In the corner of your heart
Where the sound stays silent
Where the wind is warm
Quelques mots, pour tenter de rendre hommage
À ce langage qui sait s’exprimer sans les mots
Ce quatrième art qui traverse le temps sans dommage
Qui peut à la fois partager nos joies comme illustrer nos maux
Cette richesse, accessible aux plus démunis
Cet outil qui donne du goût à la vie, qui aide à se sentir mieux
Tous conscients d’être vulnérables face à l’ouïe
On comprend comment la musique peut devenir précieuse à nos yeux
Touchés par les émotions de ce langage universel
On interprète les sons de façon singulière
On surpasse la notion d’une suite d’accords rationnels
Par les expériences sensorielles que nous offre la culture populaire
On devient nostalgique face à nos classiques
On survole nos souvenirs enfouis dans ces airs
Un moment de zénitude, un voyage placide
Une belle façon de s’enfuir en restant sédentaire
One year after the amazing experience of this first project, and countless live sessions, Téhu hit the studio to compose and produce a new opus of his "EP Boulevard" series. Beyond hip hop, EPB2 brings together strong grooves, jazzy tones and harmonic improvisations while leaning towards a cinematic experience.
EP Boulevard 2 is now available as a digital and limited vinyl on Unlog.
Big thanks to Tour De Manège, Millenium Jazz Music, Dézuets d'Plingrès, and all those who helped in the making of this, once again, great album.
