Shame 04:03
SHAME It’s morning, seven forty nine I’m alone, with a glass of wine Even though it’s crowded outside I just feel like I need to hide I pretend to be just the way you want so see me Unbearable, unstandable I wonder Why you leave me in such a wonder I wonder Why you leave me in such a wonder One bed and a coffee maker You promised you‘d leave the lights on I draw my heart on a piece of paper And you ripped if off I pretend to be just the way you want so see me Unbearable, unstandable I wonder Why you leave me in such a wonder I wonder Why you leave me in such a wonder Shame on you!

One of those 04:12
ONE OF THOSE Had one of those nights One of those nights with you You were one of those guys One of those that shine through Had one of those nights One of those nights alone It was one of those downs One of those that kills you I wish I could come home to you To someone, to someone like you Don’t you see they’ve picked up on our sparks? Can’t we just stop pretend, stop pretend Had one of those days One of those days with you You were one of those obsessions One of those that break through Had one of those days One of those days alone I was one of those fools One of those that fights you I wish I could come home to you To someone, to someone like you Don’t you see they’ve picked up on our sparks? Can’t we just stop pretend, stop pretend I wish I could come home to you To someone, to someone like you Don’t you see they’ve picked up on our sparks? Can’t we just stop pretend, stop pretend Lyrics by Barbara Finck-Beccafico

COLLATERAL DAMAGE Nothing remains, just her image When I lost her in that voyage Still keeping me like a hostage She is collateral damage Some say that “true love waits” When I met you, I loved her Some say that “the loser hates” When I left you, I lost her And I can still hear her smiles The vivid sound of her innocence Memories start to feel like exiles Unexpected, we just made sense Looking around, she won’t go anywhere Running around, seemed true yet getting blur How much longer can I bare The thought of never knowing her For her sake I need to let go For my sake I need to let go Collateral damage Lyrics by Barbara Finck-Beccafico

Et demain 04:24
ET DEMAIN Chemin vers l’exil sur l’autoroute du ciel L’atlantique mon géant, barrière frêle Je suis chez moi partout et nulle part, surtout ailleurs Et pourtant famille adoptive vous avez mon cœur Et demain ? J’ai mis des étoiles sur l’un de mes plafonds J’ai crée mon propre univers, c’est si simple dans le fond Slalomant entre rencontres, choix et déceptions De mes plus grands voyages, celui de la vie, vous êtes mon exception Et demain ? Acquis ? Et demain ? Indécis. J’avance pas à pas dans la mélancolie Je meurs de toi et tant pis si ça fait mal, tu m’es indispensable Je m’enfuis pardonne-moi, je t’en pris ne sois pas triste Toi mon ange tu me dis que je suis ta plus belle cicatrice Et demain ? Plus jamais seule, où que j’aille Orphelin, sera le dernier de mes damnes Je ne deviendrai pas un fantôme aux couleurs aquarelles Car je suis noir ou blanc et que tu es mon arc-en-ciel Loin des yeux, loin du cœur, ce proverbe est menteur Un amour viscéral qui m’empêche d’avoir peur Le yin et le yang d’un monde sans attaches Se venteront-ils d’avoir effleuré ce qu’on partage ? Et demain ? Démolit ? Et demain ? Interdit. C’est lorsque les « aux revoirs » m’étranglent jusqu’aux larmes Que j’en apprends encore sur moi-même, sur comme je t’aime Et demain ? Et demain ? Et demain ? Hypnotisée par cette prolifération Sans contrefaçon vous êtes ma seule raison Et demain ? Et demain ? Et demain ? Rien. Paroles de Barbara Finck-Beccafico

about

Our concept ? Four short albums over one year - a sort of initiatory path, inspired by the four noble truths of Buddha.

Our sound ? Psyché-Folk Lo-Fi. A blend of acoustic and electro, colored by unexpected sounds. Revealing the beauty that can exist in imperfection, our music explores the human soul.

Our show ? Traveling between an audio and a visual experience, through contemporary and original live video projections.

about: is a female duo, with Michèle Bernier Martin on keyboards, drum machine & back vocals. And Barbara Finck-Beccafico lead vocals, words, and VJ.

about: seeks to create beyond the music. Whether through poetry, projections during performances, photos ... It is the desire to integrate art in its entirety.


NIRODHA is the third EP of our tetralogy !

Inspired by the Third Noble Truth of Bouddha, it represents the fact that suffering can be overcome and happiness attained.

This is perhaps the most important of the Four Noble Truths because in it the Buddha reassures us that true happiness and contentment are possible.

When we give up useless craving and learn to live each day at a time, enjoying without restlessly wanting the experiences that life offers us, patiently enduring the problems that life involves, without fear, hatred and anger, then we become happy and free.

There is cessation of suffering.
Nirodha should be realized.
Nirodha has been realized.
