Have you really learned what you know today?
Do you have a sense of history?
How many battles have you won?
How many friends have you lost?
Locked in a room full of memories
Locked in a room full of ashes
Fürchtest du etwas abseits deiner Welt?
Furchteust dou èttvas apzaïts daïneur velt.
Auch den der nicht deine Sprache wählt?
Aourh dén dér nischt daïne chprarhe vêlt
Wartet noch eine Schlacht auf dich?
Varteut norh aïne schlarht aof disch
Die ständig in dir aus der Ferne spricht.
Di chtendik in dier aos dér fèrneu chpricht
Stur bleibst du alt in den Zeiten.
Chtour blaïbst dou alt in dén tzaïteun
Stur lebst du noch in den Scherben.
Stour lébst dou norh in dén scherbeun
All.
Que crains-tu au-delà des terres
Chez celui qui ne parle pas ta langue ?
Reste-t-il une chose à défendre / Y a-t-il un combat qui t’attend ?
Sinon les ruines de ton passé ? / Qui trotte toujours dans ta tête ?
Têtu, tu restes vieux dans les saisons
Têtu, tu vis encore dans les débris
Tant de fois tu as promis à tes frères
Que ce serait ta dernière guerre
Mais chaque fois tu te relèves
Dès que l’air sent le feu et le fer
Pris dans le flot des souvenirs
Pris dans l’étau du repentir

Lonely Ride
04:01
|

Why driving so fast?
Coz’ it won’t last
This fun we have
Is just a spark
Time’s on our side
The best of our lives
Why would it end now?
Why winning the race?
It’s too much haste
Just for a game
Faces and names
Neighbours and friends
Spin in our heads
We won’t remember them
Is life a lonely ride?
Stars will always shine
If you hold the night
If you get high
Enough to fly
Over the heights
Houses and cars
Endlessly rising
Is life a lonely ride?

On This Brightful Day
04:15
|

I’ve got miles to run today
I’ve gotta view how things seem from afar
Starting now
I’ve got air to breathe today
I’ve got a life to live, I’ll use it all
I heard me say
The lines we used to draw
Are rising from the shores
On this brightful day?
The line I’m drawing now
This is how I feel
On this brightful day
I’ve got tales to tell today
I’ll make up the ones that you might like to hear
Secretly
I’ve got to start refreshed today
To find out about the kicks and clicks inside
How they feel
The lines we used to draw
Are rising from the shores
On this brightful day?
The line I’m drawing now
This is how I feel
On this brightful day
This great lungful of air
That now I can take
On this brightful day

While I was away in the raging battlefield
You were waiting for me
Something I couldn’t see
While I was busy braving each time a thousand fears
I remembered your face
Thrill of war gone astray
Tell me everything, what happened all those years?
Many days growing long,
How come seasons went wrong?
A flash in my eyes
I began to realise
All my life I thought I was walking through a battlefield
Now that everyone’s gone
Are you ready to stay?
How can I explain, that it took me all these years
Simply to realise
One life is quite a thrill?
A flash in my eyes
I begin to realise

Follow Me, Boy
03:32

Follow me, boy
There is a road
Follow me, boy
It's time to go
Look at this magic
We've built
It's all yours now
Look at the view we get
When we stand near the edge
No one can see you
The echo follows your trail
Look at this magic
We've built
It's all yours now
It fades away
You're the last to stay

Always

Always fighting by your side
Never accepting what we have
We’ve always looked
For noon at two o’clocks
I will never let you down
No matter what the fight
I’m getting lost
So lift me up
Repeat the words
I’ve followed through the years
Always dreaming of what we live for
Always chasing what we dream of
I will miss
That feeling of being alive
One day we will get too tired
But we won’t need goodbyes
I’m getting lost
So light a flame
Where is the land?
I can’t see anymore

Anytime Is Now
04:41

Is there anyone hoping for something to happen soon?
Is there anyone daring to say life could be better than this?
Is there anyone thinking it’s boring to play the game?
Is there anyone starting to run 1, 2, 3 we’re already gone?
Anytime is now
Anywhere is here
Anything is good
Good enough for us
Nearing way too soon
Gone for good
Silly dreams are
Painting all the scenes
Shake it off
Choose the one we like
Print it on your life, we were
Born on yesterday
The corner of our way
Whisper in my ear
Days are not
Bright enough
We’re not ready yet, no
This is just your mind
Playing tricks on mine
We’re anytime where
We should be now

Them

According to them
We’re stuck in the past
They’ll bring us up to date
According to them
We like simple things
Like sentimental gaze
We have been waiting for enlightenment
For so long
According to them
We won’t feel the same
They’ll reinvent ourselves
According to them
We need hope and faith
The future is at stakes
We have been waiting for enlightenment
For so long now
But will we fool ourselves if we trade our past?
We have been waiting for enlightenment
For so long now
But will we fool ourselves if we trade our past?

Every time the world is too loud
Where have you gone, peace of mind?
Every time you're feeling a doubt
Gather pieces of your mind
Let me take you out for a ride?
Out where the city smiles
A sea of light where we can drown
Forgetting the chaos around
We’re walking together in silence, in silence
Though all that surrounds us is violence, is violence
Sometimes it’s getting so loud
That you can't take it all at once
The numbers and the names and the place
So remember who your people are
Let me take you out for a ride
Out where the city smiles
We'll come back on a merry go-round
Another day gone safe and sound
We’re walking together in silence, in silence
Though all that surrounds us is violence, is violence

orwell Nancy, France
Orwell lead by Jérôme Didelot attracted high praise in 2009 with their first UK release ‘Le génie humain’ with glowing reviews in Mojo, The Sunday Times, and The Express to name a few. Quite an achievement for an album sung almost exclusively in French and a reflection of Didelot’s immense talent for crafting that sophisticated intellectualized pop paralleled by the likes of the High Llamas. ... more
