Granted 05:00
GRANTED You took me for granted But I won’t let you hurt me anymore With my heart you played Don’t even think about touching me no more It’s when you disappeared That I first understood You had never believed In unifying our bloods, our bloods How can you repeat me Over and over again That you can’t anymore be Without me without pain Without me without pain You took me for granted But I won’t let you hurt me anymore With my heart you played Don’t even think about touching me no more You gave me hope in us, Then put the mess in my head Lyrics : Barbara Finck-Beccafico

Steinway 03:42
STEINWAY How can I just thank you Say I love You I am not ready for this And forever you left me I’ll never have the strength To forget you And I have nothing else to say Nothing else to write But tell me : is it enough ? I can’t say that it’s all done You were so proud Hold me in your arms again You’ll stay in my memories Never, never leave my heart I don’t want to let you go And I have nothing else to say Nothing else to write But tell me : is it enough ? And I have nothing else to say Nothing else to write But tell me : is it enough ? Lyrics : Barbara Finck-Beccafico

Run 03:38
RUN Think your safe, because you told the truth Can't complain, to the big man in a suit And you'll run, And you'll run, And you'll run And you'll run, And you'll run, And you'll run Realize where you're from Blue blood soldiers, red walls of power Army of sheep, they're ancestors weep I'm a pantomime, a tool used for a face A smile to hide the crime, they closed the case And you'll run, And you'll run, And you'll run And you'll run, And you'll run, And you'll run Realize where you're from Grey clouds surround your hopes Drowning in a sea with no floats So we can go back to reality Come back to humanity Throw me a rope, throw me a rope, throw me a rope Throw me a rope, throw me a rope, throw me a rope And you'll run, And you'll run, And you'll run And you'll run, And you'll run, And you'll run Realize where you're from Lyrics by Laurent E. Malo

PRÉMÉDITATION Souffrir au point d'en accepter l'habitude Envie de rendre, rendre tout ce qui me hante Désir de mourir qui devient le besoin Ma peine surtout mes chaines, portent un seul nom Crime avec préméditation Crime avec préméditation Penser à elle et accepter qu'elle te touche T'écouter et me perdre dans tes mensonges Tu hurles que tu m'aimes, ta peau sent ses caresses Dépossédée de tout, de moi-même, de moi-même Crime avec préméditation Crime avec préméditation 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.


SAMUDAYA is the second EP of our tetralogy !

Inspired by the Second Noble Truth of Bouddha, it is the origin of suffering. The craving for sensual desires, craving for being, craving for non-being.

The Second Noble Truth states that there is an origin of suffering and that the origin of suffering is attachment to the three kinds of desire:
- desire for sense pleasure (kama tanha)
- desire to become (bhava tanha)
- desire to get rid of (vibhava tanha).

There is the origin of suffering, which is attachment to desire (Tanha). Desire should be let go of.
Desire has been let go of.
