Le Monde

well what i can honestly say about this luscious track that has me spellbound & somewhat intoxicated at the moment?

i accidentally stumbled on it via a model's website - it was the perfect background accompaniment to fit his persona and image .. but the song being french really drew me in (being the connoiseur that i am in music) - lol ..

i had to enlist the help of my french cousin who is also a musician & artist amongst other things to find the artist - we decided it was one of those deep philanthropic soulful grooves ..

anyway, how surprised was i to find out that the song was actually by thievery corporation .. my cousin's attempt to decipher the lyrics for me led me to googling the translation .. and shocking of me not to know my french as well as i should since my birth certificate is in french & half my family on my dad's side live there!

but here are the lyrics to 'le monde' in french ;)

Je pense bien que le monde est calculé
Je pense bien que tout est encadré
Que nos pensées sont tracées dans l'air auparavant
Et tu crois que la derniere prise
Elle a mis du temps à ta douleur
Ouvre les yeux le monde change
Ah oui je sais qu'un jour
Ah oui je sais qu'un jour
Pour voir plus clair
Tu dois oublier tous les mensonges
Ah le monde change, le monde change
Soulage ton coeur, soulage ton ame
Ah le monde change
Et tu crois que la derniere prise
Elle a mis du temps à ta douleur
Ta douleur, ta douleur
Demain est une autre sortie
Ca fait mal à dire mais j'ai peur, j'ai peur, j'ai peur
Ah le monde change, le monde change
Soulage ton coeur, soulage ton âme
Ah le monde change, le monde change

Strict Machine | Black Cherry | Happiness

whilst listening to triple j's live simulcast of goldfrapp's concert here last month, i heard 'strict machine' for the first time in years - isn't it funny how music & melody has a way of teleporting u elsewhere without rhyme or reason?

i'm in love .. i'm in love .. i'm in love with a strict machine ...

and we can't forget goldfrapp's other quirky melodic track 'black cherry' ...

and lastly, 'happiness' is absolutely divine ... especially just before the chorus - my favourite part !!!

We're all on a journey to
Finding the real inner you
Make you better (make you better)
(We're here to welcome you)

Time stops still when
You've lost love

Happiness
How'd you get to be Happiness
How'd you get to find Love, real love
Love, love, love

Slow

ok so .. sometimes you just get in that mood - you know the one .. it lingers on and on for days and days .. just lingering in the corners of your erotic mind ..

much like the sexy beats of kylie's 'slow' ..

Our eyes connected
Now nothing's how it used to be
No second guesses

Track in on this feeling
Pull focus close up you and me
Nobody's leaving

Got me affected
Spun me 180 degrees
It's so electric

Don't wanna rush it
Let the rhythm pull you in
It's here so touch it

You know what I'm saying
And I haven't said a thing
Keep the record playing

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

need i say any more? blame it on the boogie beats & eye candy last nite at cream tangerine ...
