Lil fun fact about my CR
So!
I am a lead singer and guitarist in a band, we are called Vessels of Rebirth. We have 5 members, including myself, and currently we have learned two songs and starting two more
I have just finished my first draft for our first original song and I wanted to share the lyrics and if you guys have any ideas or criticism I'd love to hear it!
**PLEASE DO NOT COPY OR TAKE MY LYRICS**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The song is called Pennies for the Dead -
Verse 1: I’ve asked myself the age-old question, Is it really worth the fight? They sell you chains and call them choices, Bleed you dry beneath the lights.
If you find yourself contented Cherish these words like dust— Work hard, smile, and don’t complain, When they leave you out to rust.
They build their castles out of marrow, Line their pockets with our bones. Sing us lullabies of virtue, While they carve our names to stone—
Chorus: So tell me—was it worth it? Did you find what you were looking for? Tell me—did you earn it? Or just steal it from the poor? Take my body, take my spirit, Drain me ‘til there’s nothing left, A poor man’s poison Is just another penny for the dead
Verse 2: I watched the years slip through my fingers, Like wages never meant to stay. They built a throne from our surrender, We built their kingdoms, brick by grave
You’ve turned my hands to iron shackles Worn my bones down to gears Though you may feast upon my labor You’ll die choking on my screams
Chorus: So tell me—was it worth it? Did you find what you were looking for? Tell me—did you earn it? Or just steal it from the poor? Take my body, take my spirit, Drain me ‘til there’s nothing left, A poor man’s poison Is just another penny for the dead
Bridge: Tell me now—was it worth it? You stand alone atop your grave. Built your kingdom out of corpses, Now there’s no one left to save.
All the hands that fed your empire, Now they rise with bloodstained teeth. You can beg, you can bargain— But the dead don’t grant relief.
Final: If you are to listen to one last thing dear Promise your heart’s desire For if you follow the iron road You’re doomed to a pit of fire

I wrote this song a year ago during one of the toughest & loneliest period of my life. I had a mental break down, I trashed my room & stomped on my computer. I was preparing to end my life that day. I painted my room with all the reasons why. As I sat on the floor amidst all the chaos I looked over to my guitar. & it hit me that I was going to die without ever learning to play guitar. I remembered how much i love so many of the beautiful songs this instrument created. That realization was enough to motivate me to keep on living because I knew at least one thing I loved was possible. I knew it was possible to experience something new. This is one of the very first songs I created right after this experience. I used it as a way to comfort myself & remind myself i'll be there for myself through it all. This song is dedicated to me & anyone who's ever felt the same or similarly. I was crying a bit before I recorded this so if my voice sounds kinda funny that's why but as long as the message is felt then that's all I care about. I love you all even the ones that hurt me
On October 3rd of 2015, Toronto was paralyzed by heavy winds. While everyone stayed home, I took my camera and headed to the beach to capture Lake Ontario's awakening.
Not only were the lake and the sky gorgeous... there was no one walking around and no boats in the distance to ruin the shots!
Here’s a review of “The Plague, it came a-riding!”, Sungeist’s debut LP
[Chrönique] Sungeist - The plague, it came a-riding! - 2016
The Mustache Club
Neofok/freak folk
Canada
Cassette
Sungeist est un projet de Sébastien Leduc, ce dernier n'est pas totalement un inconnu du public pour s'être illustré dans des projets comme Totenlieder (un album, Negative Kharma, sorti en 2006 sur Neuropa Records, et entre autres un split avec Ô Paradis sorti en ce qui le concerne en 2004 chez Old Europa Cafe), ou comme Sorgeist (un vinyle 7 pouces chez Hau Ruck! cette foi-ci).
Sungeist évolue toujours dans le style neofolk, mais comme le groupe Lisieux que nous avons chroniqué dans nos pages, et avec lequel nous avons réalisé une interview, il marie ce premier à des influences plus indie. Ce qui n’oblitère pas l'attachement que Sungeist porte au neofolk, mais cela témoigne surtout d'une distanciation des codes les plus martiaux au profit d'une vision plus personnelle, on pensera tout de même aux travaux de Matt Howden, ou de Blood Axis. En ce qui concerne la touche indie elle penche largement du côté – comme le revendique Sébastien Leduc – de la New Weird America (Devendra Banhart, Six Organs of Admittance, etc.).
The Plague, it Came a-Riding! contient des pistes instrumentales (Night Flight, The plague, it came a-riding!, etc.) et des chansons à la teneur douce-amère (The third path of consciousness, Broken bird blues) au sein desquelles il alterne des moments mélancoliques et des envolées solaires.
Il n’y a rien à redire sur l'interprétation et la cohérence des compostions, si ce n'est que l'identité visuelle de Sungeist pour le moins excentrique – pour donner mon opinion – ne me séduit guère à la différence de sa musique qui fait se rencontrer neofolk, freak folk et folk psychédélique pour un beau - mais néanmoins étrange - voyage Between the sun and the moon !
Pour terminer, il faudrait signaler que Demian d’Ô Paradis a remixé Broken bird blues, et que cela est écoutable ici. Enfin, vous pouvez vous procurer l’album sur le Bandcamp du groupe. Une bonne découverte !

Sungeist is back at it again, this time with a new video for “Between the Sun and the Moon”
Bushwick Triangle in Brooklyn! 🎷✨ It's an atmospheric jazz club that has become one of the hidden gems of the New York music scene.
The name comes from a triangular street intersection in the area, in a former workshop or warehouse - the exact details are shrouded in a hint of urban legend, and the club itself was founded in the 2010s, when Brooklyn was experiencing a jazz music renaissance, especially in the Williamsburg and Bushwick neighborhoods. The venue has become a mecca for the new wave of jazz, where classical sounds mix with hip-hop, electronica and improvisation. The club is known for its intimate atmosphere, great acoustics and eclectic lineup of artists - from classic jazz to experimental improvisation. This is where young artists test new ideas. It is said that names such as Kamasi Washington and Robert Glasper have dropped in for spontaneous jam sessions....

Toi & moi by Zaho & Mok Saib [lyrics and full english translation]
In many of the lyrics you can find on the internet, the arabic part of this song is translated as literal gibberish or erased. I was so outraged that i translated it myself ('cause i wanted to know what it said too). Please don't hesitate to correct me, although i guess nobody is gonna see this, but now i know it's out there at least.
why am i doing this i am nothing more than a poor fanfic author lol the audacity to tranlsate from arab without knowing the lenguage too. anyway.
Toi & Moi
You and me
VERSE
Raconte-moi, c'est vrai ou pas?
Tell me, is it true or not?
Notre histoire est finie, bébé, à cause de moi
Our story is over, baby, because of me
J'suis resté ici, ne m'en veux pas
I stayed here, don't blame me
J'ai du mal à accepter vu qu'j'serai loin de toi
I can't take it* since I'll be away from you
Note: [I find it hard to accept] since I'll be away from you
T'es rentrée dans ma vie, ouh-ouh
You came into my life, whoo-hoo

Baby you're lethal, it's true
PRE-CHORUS
Ah ouais, ah ouais
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Ma belle, j'voulais juste prendre ta main et m'envoler
My love*, I just wanted to take your hand and fly away
Note: (it says "ma belle", which would mean "my beautiful").
T'as oublié
You forgot
Que j't'ai jamais abandonnée et tu le sais
That I never left you and you know it
CHORUS
عمري ولي، علاش رانا نديروا هكدا؟
My life, why are we doing this?
كنا بيخير، العدو اللي جا بيناتنا
We were fine, an enemy came between us
ما زال l’amour معاك نتي، c’est pas fini
Still, (my) love is with you, it's not over
Que toi et moi, on s’barre de là
For you and I, we’re getting out of here
عمري ولي، علاش رانا نديروا هكدا؟
My life, why are we doing this?

Que toi et moi, on s’barre de là
For you and I, we’re getting out of here
VERSE
Est-ce que c'est vrai tout c'qu'on m'a dit?
Is it true what I've heard?
À c'qu'il paraît, tu aurais même refait ta vie
They say you've even remade your life
Dis-moi qu'c'est faux, qu'j'me fais des films
Tell me it's not true, I'm raving
On était beaux mais ils nous ont jetés la عين
We were beautiful but they threw us the evil eye*
Note: the evil eye, عَيْن (ʕayn) often signifies what is regarded as the injurious and damaging supernatural effects of jealousy and envy.
À l'amour, à la vie, ha-yah
To love, to life, ha-yah
On s'était promis, ha-yah
We promised each other, ha-yah
J'ai le cœur déchiré, haya-yah

Ai qu'mes yeux pour pleurer, ha-yah
I can only cry now*, ha-ya

That I never left you and you know it
CHORUS
عمري ولي، علاش رانا نديروا هكدا؟
My life, why are we doing this?
كنا بيخير، العدو اللي جا بيناتنا

ما زال l’amour معاك نتي، c’est pas fini
Still, (my) love is with you, it's not over
Que toi et moi, on s’barre de là
For you and I, we’re getting out of here
OUTRO
ولي ليا، ولي ليا، راني مغبون
Oh my God, oh my God, I hurt*
Note: مغبون can mean aggrieved, sad, sick, tired, pained.
ولي ليا، ولي ليا، ما جاني نوم
Oh my God, oh my God, I didn't get any sleep
ولي ليا، ولي ليا، راني مغبون
Oh my God, oh my God, I hurt
Que toi et moi, on s'barre de là
You and I, we’re getting out of here
Notes: "Que toi et moi" literally means "that you and I". The "que" can mean many things depending on context, so it's translated differently on the outro.
ولي ليا، ولي ليا، راني مغبون
Oh my God, oh my God, I hurt
ولي ليا، ولي ليا، راني مغبون
Oh my God, oh my God, I hurt
Que toi et moi, on s'barre de là...
You and I, we’re getting out of here...
