about

After releasing “I Feed on Your Fears” a few days ago, I’ve decided to continue this new series with remasters of older songs that have never properly seen the light of day. The series has the working title “23 Remasters” — which hints at the coming year and also is kind of a mission statement, as I will try to collect 23 songs over the next few months.

Let’s see if that will work out as planned…

lyrics

Thou hast made my life a good one.
Thou hast made me feel so really real.
I know I would never leave you.
Now you did. I can’t be healed.
I don’t know to party when the party doesn’t feature you.
But I’m aware that your father knows to party,
And all parties know your dad.
Hope you won’t let him into your bed.

Thou hast been my inspiration.
Thou hast been my one temptation, too.
Now I know you’ll never, never need me.
I believe I won’t get through.
I don’t know to party when the party doesn’t feature you, no.

Thou hast been my bird and flower.
Thou hast been my sun and honey-moon.
Now I know you’ll never shine upon me.
I just wanna fade out soon.
I don’t know to party when the party doesn’t feature you.
But I’m aware that your father knows to party,
And all parties know your dad.
Hope you won’t let him into your bed.

You are still daddy’s daughter.
I replaced daddy only for a little while.
You believe he’ll never leave you.
But he already left. And you left me meanwhile.
I don’t know to party when the party doesn’t feature you.
But I’m aware that your father knows to party,
And all parties know your dad.
Hope you won’t let him into your bed.

Tried to make your life a good one.
Daddy made your life a fight.

Home Recordings 2018 - 2021

This collection is not of this world. Combining a multitude of instruments, soundscapes, field recordings, and emotional electronics, Yara Asmar created a parallel universe I love getting lost in. Babu Menos

Tennyson stand for the warmest electronica imaginable. Original songwriting and about one million ideas per song add to this, making their music glittering, comforting, intriguing, deeply fascinating. Babu Menos

Stay Tuned!
by Dominique Fils-Aimé

One of the many things that set the Montreal-based singer apart are the amazing vocal arrangements. Stunning a-cappella songs accompanied by lots of percussion, piano, and a handful more instruments. Babu Menos
