Growing Up Too Fast

A gift from the sky has never got so hungry
I've waited all my life to hear you laughing
My childish boy, future is yours
I've never gave a damn about the ones who told me
«You're fucking way too young to turn your teen life into a daddy's one»
You're now always two, I sit down and wonder
How come you've learned to walk, to talk, to change the TV channel so fast ?
I hope you'll see likeness between you and the man who wrote this song
For you, Nathan

Under Grytviken Skies

«Music is first, message is second», you said
From then on I've realized my life has been mislead
I'm not quite myself today, so you can leave on your own
«I want to go where you heart is», you softly said
To the stranger lying on my side of our bed
With grace, fire and passion, you kiss the way the good songs are meant to be sung
Hey you, write me a love song that will remain meaningless
On my way to Antarctica, by South Georgia, just like Shackleton before I
I have been recalled to life under those beautiful Grytviken skies
For B.

Miss Belle Eve

Miss Belle Eve, my dearest friend
Will we ever meet again ?
You showed me what's good about being a man when you guided my novice hands
Will time tell me you were the greatest ?
Miss Belle Eve my favorite actress, did you plan all this mess ?
Are you playing with words the way you're playing with my love ?
Miss Belle Eve, hard-hearted lover
Will you ever get what you're running after ?
I've given you all my humble self could
I may have shaped my love in the wrong mould
But still, it's too good to take me away from you
For M.

So I guess that it's time to write a brotherly love song for you
It shouldn't be too hard, now that I know how one heart can break in two
I'll try to find the right words
Have you heard all the pain ? Have you felt all the love ?
Even though I'm sure you now stand by His side
There was no place left for God in my heart inside
You've always had more faith in nature than humanity
In a way sometimes close to misanthropy
That's why I'll ask the stars instead to know the reason for all of this
I may not understand their answer since I don't speak their language as good as you do now
For T.

The Modern Sins Rimouski, Québec
Une structure musicale et une prose sans base fixe, donc libre de tout moule, de toute
contrainte.
Friendly rock, hand in hand with feelings, without the cheesy side. Somewhere between Winnipeg and Montreal indie scenes, you will find Ontario, and the band's sound, too. A song structure and a prose without boundaries, therefore free from any mould or restraint.
