Charlie Hodgson A nice piece of Americana style music made by some French guys. For €1 its good bang for buck. Favorite track: Virgin Valley.

fattitfitti Had this album sitting in my wishlist for over a year, when I finally got round to listening again, got halfway through the first track, and not only bought this, but the next album as well on the strength of what I'd heard to that point, and can say now, money well spent!

Bucky Red Bowling Ball deliver all strikes with a damn near perfect game of heavy ass blues. Alongside the Traveller is both an invigorating listen as it is an example of artistic grit and pummeling rock and roll ecstasy.

What Is Yet To Come I take this moment to tell my story Mine is full of joy and misery Everyone’s past is different I’ll take my time to describe each event I saw my first spring in Mississippi Just near a lost city I spent my childhood in a farm Helping my parents, working my ass off When I was 15 I saw my father die I thought that I would never stop to cry He was took away by an illness Burn out by his hard work, he was restless No matter what I have faith In what is yet to come Time had come for me to replace my dad In order to survive, ensure things ain’t go bad Mom was my teacher, my only friend My choice was sealed, I had to stay ’til the end One of these days I received a letter I was shocked and felt a shiver I was called to the Vietnam war And I left my mom all alone No matter what I have faith In what is yet to come Don't worry, ‘cause I have faith In what is yet to come Time had come for me to go back I will never forget my mates trapped and stacked I saw things, I did things And I hope you’ll never do this to human beings I found your grandmother again, and a wife She gave me two sons and a much better life See there sons ? Don’t give up the fight In the end you will know I was right No matter what have faith In what is yet to come Remember sons ? Always have faith In what is yet to come Yet to come !!!!! Yet to come !!!!!

Virgin Valley Starring on this land I cannot see the end Never soiled by human hands No tracks on the sand Far from humanity Far from activity This image between mountains will stick in my brain Where Am I? And why? But now I'm here I just want to stay Wonder why? I cry But now I'm here I just want to stay Always connected Flooding their heads Locked in front of TV Like mere zombies Open your eyes Open your minds Behind the screens the real life will begin Get On, Come on this wish is flowing in your veins Come on the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley Get on the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley When I think about Difficulties and doubts I've been through, through such pain I never complained Watch the distance Watch the sacrifice It's nothing compared to the beauty of this land Where Am I? And why? But now I'm here I just want to stay Wonder why? I cry But now I'm here I just want to stay Claim no possessions Overconsommation The worst things they did was caused by their greed Such cupidity Such insanity Leave them to depression without solutions Get On, Come on this wish is flowing in your veins Come on the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley Get on the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley Wild animals Flowing stream Old trees This Virgin forest Waterfall sound Huge mountains Wide lakes Endless Water The rising sun Dancing shadows All these things All those beautiful things Make a whole And live together In harmony Feeling the wind Is the only thing I need Flows got me towards this strange valley Follow the stream Follow my dreams Carried by this nature I found my place, I'm sure Where Am I? And why? But now I'm here I just want to stay Come on the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley Get on the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley Come on the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley Get on the Virgin Valley On the Virgin Valley

No Matter What When you feel you're alone And nothing can be done Blues grows inside you And the rock's coming too No matter what No matter what Music is an escape, for a new landscape You cannot deny it Cause you're feeling a beat You're like an other one Ready to be down No matter what No matter what Keeping you in those chains If you feel concerned By the songs you heard You shouldn't be sad If people are mad Let them chat No matter what Leave them, they're so far yeah they're so far Some people say shit Other praise about it You know what I mean Your mind have to be clean They called you brat No matter what You must stay as you are Feeling all the vibes Blood gets in your eyes Leave your problems aside And show us all your pride No matter what No matter what This is the rock and blues soul, it's my old man blues Music's your therapy Against this agony It's burning in your veins A spark in your brain No matter what No matter what Forever trapped in these chains This song seems insane And stick in your brain Forever trapped in these chains

Silence of Despair It's always the circumstance That makes the difference 'Cause with only one overload Foundations may explode We can't control everything The wide-eyed, full of despair I just want to make you to know Behind and through pain Even if it's a fight in vain You believed despite the blow In what you already know Blocked in a bitter feeling The empty-eyed, full of despair I felt you lived in a suspended flow I tried to make you safe I did my best, but now you're too far away from me I cried, Couldn't make you safe I tried to drive you back on the road of honesty That secret you wanted to keep Was way, way too deep For you fragilized soul To struggle all alone Ended up on the floor crawling The blood-eyed, full of despair I just want to tell you where to go I tried to make you safe I did my best, but now you're too far away from me I cried, Couldn't make you safe I tried to drive you back on the road of honesty In the darkness a light appears and do not fear Do you feel this warmth through your veins? It's not meaningless "'Cause I know I'm not in a dream I can't understand what it does mean" You have to raise your head Hope is not dead Redemption through acceptance To feel deliverance 'Cause I know it's a long way to go Please you have to trust in I I tried to make you safe I did my best, but now you're too far away from me I cried, Couldn't make you safe I tried to drive you back on the road of honesty

Phoenix 09:07
Lyrics written by Maxime Ancelin. Phoenix All that is gonna fall apart Can't you see it is a fact? Now we are gonna pay the price, all that matters in our eyes Ashes in wind and rock to sand As we're falling, moon is smiling As damage strike's our heart We risk of turning black Decisions in a tense time, Gonna end up breaking all Words to swords and meek to bleak Rust is spreading, all is burning But now, we are still alive, Stronger than ever, we have no fear In the ruins, there's still a light, We rebuild, this is our fate Brick by brick and wall by wall Past time glory, coming back Hope what we've been can made us better What have we learned from the past? You got some seeds, Use them as you like Write your story, draw your path Make sure you're proud of every step you make "A mythical bird that never dies, the phoenix flies far away to the front, always scanning the landscape and distant space. It represents our capacity for vision, for collecting sensory information about our environment and the events unfolding within it. The phoenix with it's great beauty, creates intense excitement and deathless inspiration."
