4AM

4 AM is just another name for hunger,
It's another way of saying you regret what you've become.
4 AM is the reason that you hold her
as if her open arms can relieve you of this hum.
4 AM is the undertone of thunder,
It's the forecast that you'd rather not remember if you can.
4 AM is the ballad of a hunter,
Who is lost inside these woods without a question or a plan.
4 AM is why I wrote you all these letters,
It is why I always stuttered when you asked me if I’m drunk.
4 AM is a symphony of feathers,
A party on a cruise ship after it had sunk.

The Teacher
04:15
|

|
You were the teacher and you were the course
You were the jockey and you were the horse
You gave me nothing but grief and a song
A con woman, here and then gone.
You were a secret locked in my hand
You were the hourglass, you were the sand
You were that darkness right before dawn
I once knew you, here and then gone.
So many days lost in a dream
Trading my kingdom for a long retired queen
So many nights caught in your net
Losing my beat to a dizzy duet
36 months to forget.
I waited for you like thunder at night
With flashes and fever of fear and delight
But you gave me nothing but grief and a song
A con woman, here and then gone.
So many days lost in a dream
Trading my kingdom for a long retired queen
So many nights caught in your net
Losing my beat to a dizzy duet
36 months, 36 months to forget.

Dodging Bullets
03:36
|
|||
|
I'm dodging bullets in the dark, a sitting duck outside the park
Diving to find shelter under some imaginary arc
This film is such a drag but I'm invested in the part
If you can’t tell me when to stop, why won’t you tell me when to start?
I think of all the the time I spent on cheap champagne and discontent
Show me something shooting straight and I'll tell you that it's bent
I try to move my feet but I'm sinking in cement
If this is not a sin, at least allow me to repent.
Night and day I try and tame unwanted thoughts, my guilt and shame
I used to hold the arrow, now I don't remember how to aim
I'm dodging bullets in my dream but this is not a game
I wish someone would tell me how to pose inside this lonely frame.
I heard something that caught my ear
I heard something that caught my ear
And ever since September I've been waiting for this feeling to just disappear.
I know that I'm just buying time transforming this into rhyme
I can't think of a better way to suffocate it in its prime
Why would I return to the exact scene of the crime
It's such a thrill to think of you that all the bells inside me chime
Look at all the mess we've made magnetized to this jade
It's self inflicted pain but we know where we hid the blade
Something lost and found eventually will fade
I thought I dodged a bullet but it seems it was a hand grenade
You said something that caught my ear
You said something that caught my ear
And ever since September I've been waiting for this feeling to just disappear.

Your Perfume
03:24
|
|||
|
Your perfume is a capsule
Of memory and time
A dark enchanted blend
Of oranges and thyme.
Your body in that dress in all its glory
Blew my mind
It shook me to my core
I had to know that you were mine, mine, mine.
My teenage dream, my secret love
A blown out torch, a dated song
A stolen kiss so long ago
Forever gone, forever gone.
Your perfume was a promise
Of something wild and free
An introduction to a body free of gravity
In the back seat of your car
We held our breath ‘till we were done
The radio was broken
But The song was there for us to hum, hum, hum.
My teenage dream, my secret love
A blown out torch, a dated song
A stolen kiss so long ago
Forever gone, forever gone.
And when I smell that perfume
A memory awakes
A dark enchanted flavour
A rattle and a shake
I think about your body in that dress, my oh my
An image gone forever.
A love frozen in time
My teenage dream, my secret love
A blown out torch, a dated song
A stolen kiss so long ago
Forever gone, forever gone
My teenage dream, my secret love
A blown out torch, a dated song
A lucid dream, a night gone wrong
Forever gone, forever gone, gone
You’re gone, gone gone.

Light Sleeper
02:57
|

|
I'm a light sleeper, please don't wake me up
I’m a bar hopper, I’m looking for my cup
I'm a dream maker, but only in my dreams
I’m a heartbreaker, I’ve seen it in films
I’m as heavy as a bullet, heavy as led
Forever the tourist in my own head.
Oh god, I don’t want to be a tourist
Oh god, I don’t want to be a tourist
I’ll sing sing it once again -
I don’t want to be a tourist anymore
I don’t want to be a tourist anymore.
I’m a faint rumor, I hear the gong and then I’m gone
I’m a lone trooper, pretending to belong
I'm a reckless driver, I always ride alone
A complete stranger in my own home.
Oh god, I don’t want to be a tourist
Oh god, I don’t want to be a tourist
I’ll sing sing it once again -
I don’t want to be a tourist anymore
I can’t be that tourist anymore.
I'm a late bloomer and I'm ready to be picked
I'm a field of fire, ready to be lit
I'll become someone, I know it’s coming soon
I'm a late sleeper, wake me when it's noon.

Some Girls
02:39

|
Some girls they don't know how to fall
Some girls they don't know how to fall
But not me baby
I take my poison in a lowball.
I used to be a rabbit in a hole
I used to be rabbit in a hole
It took some time but I killed that rabbit
And now there’s only the hole.
Baby, why’d you look so mad?
Baby, why’d you look so mad?
I told you when I met you
It's gonna be bad, bad, bad.
Some girls they know exactly when to stop
Some girls they know exactly when to stop
But not me baby
I keep going ‘till I drop.

Running to You
03:19
|
|||
|
Defeated and broke, I’m coming to you
I don’t know where I’m going so I’m coming to you
Your heart is a legend, I’m coming to you
I burned all my engines, I’m coming to you
I’m coming to you.
With tears and mascara, I’m coming for you
It’s the end of an era, I’m howlin’ for you
I’m lost like a highway, I’m coming to you
Let’s once do it my way, I’m coming to you
I’m coming to you.
Mistake after mistake, I’m wide awake
Backtracking to your door
I’m coming to you.
With my eyes on the prize, I’m coming to you
With everything I despise, I’m coming to you
I’ll deposit my sins at the door when I come
If you just let me in, I’ll become someone new
I’m coming to you.
Mistake after mistake, I’m wide awake
Backtracking to your door
I’ll get there late but I know you’ll wait
You’ll tell me that there’s more
That’s why I’m running to you.
Let me in
Tell me that there’s hope for the hopeless
A home for the homeless
A light of great mercy
A lonely moonbeam, seen only by a few
Don’t leave the house, I’m coming to you.
A lonely moonbeam, seen only by a few
Don’t leave the house, I’m coming to you

Love Me or Leave Me
02:54
|
|||
|
Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else.
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else.
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue.
I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else.
Say, love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else.
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else.
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue.

I'm sorry I reappeared
After we've declared this horse is dead
I don't want to interfere
With the gentle art of the needle and the thread.
Once I knew a tune
But now it's gone astray
By the time you'll hear this song
We'll both be old and gray.
If I could rewind this instant
And undo the thing that made you cry
Would you promise to come back
To the exact same spot
Under the same piece of sky.
Once I knew your lips
But now the taste has gone astray
By the time you'll hear this song
We'll both be old and gray.
I'm sorry I reappeared
After we declared this horse is dead
I don't want to interfere
With the gentle art of the needle and the thread.
Once I knew a tune
But now it's gone astray
By the time you'll hear this song
We'll both be old and gray.

Earthquake
04:06

If we manage to survive this earthquake
Will we ever be the same, I don’t know
If I ask you to, many, many times
Will you stay for fifteen years, or more
I’ll never try and change you, you say
Oh, but how I’ve changed
You may never know.
But today is fine for me
If I meet you by accident
In a street corner with a smile
And I’ll hold you for a while
Until you have to run again, I’ll take the risk
I can take the risk.
Can we change the rules now
Can we switch sides, turn off the lights
And wake up all over again
I’m gonna have to learn to sing along to a different song
And let it rock me
Yeah, let it rock me.
But today is fine for me
If I meet you by accident
In a street corner with a smile
And I’ll hold you for a while
Until you have to run again, I’ll take the risk
I can take the risk.

אספר לך أحكيلِك
by Luna Abu Nassar
supported by 8 fans who also own “Light Sleeper”
Un album poétique et immersif mélangeant voix, guitare/percu et sonorités samplées. Luna possède une voix unique et envoûtante, profonde et sensuelle, accompagnée d'un phrasé très charmant qui ravit mes oreilles de locuteur français. Son chant est d'une grande justesse et ne se laisse jamais aller à la démesure. L'humilité ainsi que les bonnes vibrations qu'elle réussit à insuffler à son album traduisent, outre des qualités musicales et artistiques, de réelles qualités de cœur. !כל הכבוד
