    The new songs on “Outside, It’s America” both represent America as seen through the eyes of an adopted-son, and also the reflection of France through the eyes of an increasingly Americanized Frenchman who has traveled far and wide. The opening track, “Dehors, c’est l’Amerique” (“Outside, It’s America”) kicks off with the wailing of an oncoming train, merges from railroad rattles to an easy lap steel, until finally the French lyrics begin, grounded by a comfortable honky-tonk rhythm.

    This album was recorded and produced at "8 Ball studio" in Portland by Rob Stroup (who has also worked with Tony Furtado, Portland Cello Project, Vagabond Opera, Debra Arlyn)

    Les nouvelles chansons de "Outside, It’s America" représentent à la fois l'Amérique telle qu'elle est vue à travers les yeux d'un fils adoptif, et aussi la réflexion de la France à travers les yeux d'un Français de plus en plus américanisé ayant beaucoup voyagé. La première piste, "Dehors, c’est l’Amérique", commence avec le hurlement d'un train approchant, évolue des bruits de chemin de fer à un doux son de guitare lap steel, jusqu'à ce que finalement les paroles en français commencent, soutenues par un rythme de honky-tonk confortable.

    Cet album a été enregistré et produit au studio "8 Ball" à Portland par Rob Stroup (qui a également travaillé avec Tony Furtado, Portland Cello Project, Vagabond Opera, Debra Arlyn).

    Date de sortie: 23 Mars, 20212

lyrics

BIRDY
(Eric John Kaiser)

EVERYDAY I FIGHT AGAINST THE GHOSTS
POLLUTING MY HEAD FROM COAST TO COAST
THEY WANT ME TO BE SAFE WITH THEM STUCK IN A CAGE
BUT I NEED TO FLY AWAY I NEED TO BE MY AGE

OH PLEASE PLEASE OPEN MY DOOR
OH PLEASE PLEASE RESCUE MY SOUL

SHOW ME THE WAY SO I CAN BELIEVE IN LOVE
HELP ME SPREAD MY WINGS, AND GET RID OF MY LUST
YOU WILL THEN SEE THAT I WILL THEN BE THERE FOR BOTH OF US
THE WEIGHT OF DUST IS A DRUG THAT I SHOULDN'T TRUST

OH MY LOVE COMES FROM FREEDOM
OH AND MY FREEDOM IS LOVE

MY HAPPINESS IS A NOW CHOICE THAT I CAN BELIEVE IN
MY HAPPINESS IS NOW A GIFT THAT I SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN

SHOW ME THE PATH THAT LEADS TO THE SETTING SUN
THE ISLE OF WHITE WHERE FOR OTHERS IT ALL BEGUN
OUR NEW LIFE WHERE YOU AND I WILL BREATH AS ONE
IF BOTH OF US KEEPS THE FREEDOM TO DECIDE WHAT TO BECOME

MY HAPPINESS IS A NOW CHOICE I CAN BELIEVE IN
(I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND)
MY HAPPINESS IS NOW A GIFT THAT I SHOULD HAVE FAITH IN
(ON THE ROAD TO OUR HAVEN)
MY HAPPINESS IS NOW A COUNTRY THAT I SHOULD LIVE IN
MY HAPPINESS IS NOW A LANGUAGE THAT I SHOULD DREAM IN

JUST THE TWO OF US
AND YOU MY SOULTEACHER
