TRUCK'S LIGHT
Demo for the San Francisco Girl Chorus
Arrangement:
Olivier Decrouille & DEER
Lyrics: DEER

In my solitude

there’s nothing that could guide me

Traveling so far

I never know where I’ll be

Could be lost in the middle of

a field of my own tears

mourning in the myst of my fears

Truck’s light through the night

has nothing to do with my mind

But reveal the feel of melting sights

Drivin off the milky way

chasing the stars

do not care what they say

I’m no more child and I say , and I say

I like you driving me at night

truck‘s lights right in my eyes

They’re calling me in some way

I’m no more a child in a way

I like you driving me at night

truck‘s lights right in my eyes

They’re calling me in some way

I’m no more child in a way

There’re so many things I wonder

being on the road is the answer

but only myself has to pay

the toll to be finding my highway

There’re so many things

that I wonder 

being on the road is the answer 

but only myself has to pay

the toll to be finding my high way

SINCE

Arrangement: DEER / Octavio Angarita
Lyrics: DEE
R
This is the story of my cousin Claire
a very talented Ballet dancer, who had to quit dancing because of her father.

Caught in the middle of 

Something quietly

The dust below my flies away 

Gently disturbing my sad routine

I feel it in my bones,

And deeper still

So don’t try to prove me wrong 

I’ll always try and see 

The vagabond that is me

 

Since the day  I was born 

I wanted to dance all day long

And now that I have grown

Is there a chance that I belong

I gave it everything

you gave me the key to set me free,

hings  I’ll never see from this day on The little stepsthat keeps me going on

 

The best I ever was is because of you 

you are taking it away 

and now it’s through

Just face the truth

it’s meant to be like this

 

Since the day I was born 

And now that I have grown…

You didn’t have the choice 

To remember or not

The good times and the crises 

That you’ve known

Are over but not that song

Stories you liked to tell me 

The bombs and the darkness all around

But somewhere hidden from the evil

Was whispering that childhood song

A song for her

A song for her

Now she remembers the song

that used That used to make me smile  

Now she remembers the song

that used That used to make me cry  

Now she remembers the song that used

That used to makes us sing

Now she remembers

Now she remembers

Now she remembers

HER SONG
Music and Lyrics: DEER

A song inspired by my grandmother's life and who struggled with Alzheimer's desease

A wounded deer leaps highest

I’ve heard the hunter tell

‘Tis but the ecstasy of death

And then the brake is still

The smitten rock that gushes

The trampled steel that springs

A cheek is always redder

Just where the hectic stings

Mirth is mail of anguish

In which its cautious arm

Lest anybody spy the blood

And, “you’re hurt“ exclaim

Wounded Deer
Music: DEER
Lyrics: Emily Dickinson

One day I heard of Emily Dickinson's poems so I read her poetry. This is the first poem I came across while opening her book.
