Bump with video et new mastering

and here the translation

it gives me chills every time I hear the sound
it cuts me to the core like the saws that cut the tall fir trees
in the Canadian north

I see it as if it's now when they came to burn my house down
singing their ugly songs holding their torches in their ugly hands
in the Canadian north

I searched through my winter blinded by this great light
in the silence of the ice I searched without finding a trace
in the Canadian north

the bear star tears the night the aurora borealis burns the skies
solitude and oblivion dancing alone around the brandons of my fire
in the Canadian north

I searched through my winter blinded by this great light
in the silence of the ice I searched without finding a trace
in the Canadian north

Hi JP - it's wonderful.  Great singing.  I liked it so much I had to look up what is a "bodhran".  Ah, a type of drum.  It sounds very good. I love how you incorporate many different traditional "analog" instruments in most of your stuff.

[Jean Pierre]

yes the bodhran is a discovery of my daughter who regularly performs live with her husband in their ukulele club in Lyon and they use simple percussion instruments like the bohdram which is an Irish percussion instrument; a drum on a frame played with a stick which is probably derived from the oriental daf

a very interesting instrument the support of the left hand on the skin allows to vary the pitch, a bit like the tablas of India

well I use it in a basic way to mark the first beat of each measure

That dobro, those vocals! What a treat!

It sounds like everyone here in Songcrafters has started the year with a bang(er).

(I know we're far away from the start of the year already, but i'm running slow. As they say rocking is slow).
