about

I have always composed pop/folk guitar-voice songs on a hand, and prog-rock songs for drums on the other hand. With this song, I tried to gather both worlds, featuring only voices and drums. I really hope you will like it!

This song is about the world we currently live in. When we look around us, we can sometimes feel the world is completely crazy, wrong, and going upside down. And we can feel desperate about it.
But I think, deep down, all of us human beings care about the same things: loving, sharing, kindness, creating things, or singing, dancing, playing an instrument, playing in general... There's a true light of hope when we focus on doing things that vibrate in us - that comes from the heart.
This is "Dancing in the flood".

lyrics

How do you feel
In this realm without meaning?
Is this real? In this place
I'm not so sure, I can't see clear

I can't wake, can hardly believe it
Where is home? Why am I here?
I can't grasp, or relate
To how it is working

But I can feel you running in my blood
Like two fools, we are just dancing in the flood
The wind's blowing you like a thousand grains of sand
Sparkling in his eyes, at the edge of his hands

How do you feel
In this realm without meaning?
Are you tired? Are you here?
Close your eyes, try to breathe

Is this real? In this place
I don't fit, I can't wake
Are you scared? Can you stand?
Bring yourself to this world

(superimposed verse)
Is it this threat we are all feeling?
Is it the mess we're all stepping in?
Is it this air that makes us ill?
Did you know words can also kill?
Is it this food that cannot feed us
Is it this race we'll never win or
Our own reality deluding us
Diving into screens so deep we'll lose ourselves

But I can feel you running in my blood
Like two fools, we are just dancing in the flood
The wind's blowing you like a thousand grains of sand
Sparkling in his eyes, at the edge of his hands

I can feel it inside my heart, feel it inside my heart, feel it inside my heart
There's something wrong
I can feel it inside my heart, feel it inside my heart, feel it inside my heart
It's upside down, down, down, down...
There's something wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong...

Mais j'peux te sentir couler dans mes veines
Comme deux fous nous dansons au milieu de l'arène
Le vent te disperse comme des milliers de grains de sable
J'te vois dans ses yeux, dans ses mains, c'est palpable

But I can feel you running in my blood
Like two fools, we are just dancing in the flood
The wind's blowing you like a thousand grains of sand
Sparkling in his eyes, at the edge of his hands

How do you feel
In this realm without meaning?

Cool compositions and great production – Who Bit the Moon is full of prog-rock moments that uplift and quickly capture attention. Neat changes in tempo add interest, and plentiful guitar hooks deliver moments to savour. Michael Reilly

"Ethereal, 3-dimensional, abstract chess in parks accompanied by the float of saxophone and drums. Wierd grooves that rock you deep into the sun." Sungazer's first full release is as impressive as it is sudden. It breaks out with blistering speeds of bass improvisation from Neely, and the drums also accompanying show the raw power the duo hold within seconds. The following tracks roll in a mood of self-expression and presents the mind of jazz in a new light, of which many contemporaries cannot. RoosterJack
