3 almost lost songs April 29, 2010

When I started to work on Untimely Tales, I actually wrote 12 songs. Because of a lack of time, I finally decided to record 9 of them…

It doesn’t mean those 3 left songs are lost. I mainly had a few small issues and wrong directions, so I decided not to work too much on them and focus on the other ones…

Well, I play them sometimes in the morning… I even played one live last october… Now I’m considering working on them again. I already talked about them before : “Ghoslty Female Faces”, “A Useless Tale”, “The River”. Let’s see if it’s going to be easier for me to record them quickly, by now…

Let’s finish with a few more pics shot in Lisbon. Don’t you like the dog ?

More shots of Lisbon April 22, 2010

Here are some more of the pictures I shot in Lisbon. There is some kind of story behing them… actually you could think of different kinds of events and thoughts. Well, very inspiring…

A visit on the other side. A boat behind the city. Lost chairs, crossing stairs in narrow streets. Haunted houses, distorted roofs. A lost western place. And a Dark Shape once again…

Back from Lisbon April 14, 2010

Believe it or not… I’ve been absolutely, totally lazy… I expected to take some time on writing rough lyrics ideas, but actually wrote a couple of sentences, only…

Sun and t-shirt, good food and wine, nice people, wondeful places and streets to visit…

And pictures… lots of shots… Not that bad, finally… Holidays are meant to do nothing, right ? and images are meant to bring new inspiration… so… let’s have a first look :

lisbon-view

lisbon-church-on-hill

lisbon-broken-window

Does this one remind you something ? :

lisbon-dark-shape

lisbon-gate-to-nowhere

lisbon-tramway

So the question is : is it a good place to spend some time ?
Definitely yes !

And well, I took so many pictures… more to come next time…

And I can’t resist to publish a new pic… I’m quite glad for I’m secretly, slowly, working on new stuff, and I’m close to leaving Paris for some holidays in Lisbon, Portugal, for a week… Goals : rest, pictures (at night, of course), and rough lyrics ideas…

Hope you’ll have some holidays soon, too… cheers…
