Empty 02:40
Empty I’m useless, empty Like a hole in a blanket Like an island in the sea Like a picture in a casket Like the wind in the trees Like a man on the moon Like a kiss on your cheek My life is a black hole And it’s sucking me slowly My mind, my will, my soul And don’t know how long I will hold Until it eats me completely I’m standing there, invisible The time is passing through me I am a wind, a particle In your mind just few memories Few lines on your book A dried flower in your bag Look, all the chances that I took But everyday I’m losing your track I’m useless, empty
2.
I Read in Your Eyes The night will fall All through the lands of my demanding soul Makes me forget all I've ever known How can the darkness be so loud ? Why do we talk ? Is that the way that love has to be caught ? Or is it just our fears in the dark ? That leave the silence all alone I read in your eyes All the colors of the sand The promise of a southern wind An empty sea I’m waving back But soon your eyes are right back on the track The flow of memories that can never stop Now I'm dancing on my own A man will go In every corner of his quiet self An endless treasure in an empty shell A planted seed that will never grow I read in your eyes
3.
Care 03:57
Care Raise your voice, you know how to Raise your voice, you know how to None of all those news were true Look around you And tell me that you care I ain’t saying nothing new I ain’t saying nothing new No one will tell you what to do Look around you And tell me that you care
4.
I Wonder 03:16
I wonder Now who is gonna reach that place And who’s gonna hear my song? Is there gonna be some space Or room for every one? Am I the last to know When there ’ s no more time for playing? Why any one has to go Is this life too deceiving? I wonder Is it too late to cry? I wonder Will you be there tonight? I wonder If this world will ever end I wonder How it feels to have a friend Now that all is almost gone But the writings on the wall The memories are on Where did I lose my soul? We went to see the sunset But time was running out So we drove fast as we could And set the music loud I wonder If this coldness is leaving soon? I wonder If we ever walked on the moon? I wonder When we die, are we relieved? I wonder If my message will be received?
5.
On Your Dress Empty spaces All my wisdom for your caress Endless chases The world is laying on your dress Morning shiver That calls your name Love will never be the same All my chances The night is young and I’m a mess With all my senses Your heart is beating on my chest Blown away Here I stay Every whisper is a bless The time has come and I’m risking more than I got But when your heart is true Is there something you can do?
6.
Anywhere 03:53
Anywhere Don’t try so hard Don’t blame your soul There is a crack In everything that owns you We’ve crossed the line There’re no more words for what we’ve made But all will be fine We’ll pay the price we’ve always paid Anywhere you go You will feel it Under the sun All is glitter, all is gold But I’m on a run I need my future to unfold Don’t you stop crying A dream is a dream when you say so From under your skin You will feel when it’s time to let go Anywhere you go You will feel it
7.
How We End 03:34
How We End Life is an empty shell Between heaven and hell And you’ve just realised I see it in your eyes Do you thing you’re cool Acting like a fool Is this how you stand? We can’t buy more time Or every star that shines What is on your mind You really think that’s fine? You’ve givin’ all you got For dying like a rat Is this how we end?
8.
I Will 03:18
I Will I don't know what more can be done Can I go ? Can I live on my own But if you say that I should stay for you I will That I should stay for you I will What else can I do ? Even if I know The end of the road The dying bees The kids I'll never know There is one thing That I won't change for sure... I won't change for sure... That I won't change for sure... My love is always new

about

KANGLING, « Dancing on My Own ». Huit titres à faire tomber la nuit profonde, celle qui nous rappellera par échos les rythmiques enivrantes de Thom York, la soul des harmonies décalées des Dirty Projectors, jusqu’aux envolées quasi mystiques de Jeff Buckley. Le temps est suspendu. Le rêve se veut réel, quitte à attendre une éternité...

Après avoir charrié sa contrebasse plus de 15 ans sur les scènes des clubs et festivals de jazz belges et européens, le singer-songwriter Axel Gilain fonde KANGLING avec, en 2014, un premier EP enregistré à Londres, tel un retour aux sources du rock, de la soul, dans un format musical plus pop, sublimé par ses multiples et riches expériences.
Un premier album, « Echoes of Distant Voices » s’en suivra en 2016 comme la promesse tenue d’affiner d’avantage la matière encore brute. C’est en 2019, avec « Graceful Machines » que KANGLING amorce plus précisément un tournant vers une esthétique encore plus contemporaine, électronique.

Aujourd’hui, avec cet opus de la maturité « Dancing on My Own », réalisé avec son compagnon de scène de toujours, le beatmaker Jérôme Hope (Peas Project...) et mixé par Jean Vanesse (Spirit Catcher), le virtuose de l’électronique au GreenHouse studio, Axel Gilain signe pour KANGLING un troisième album qui intègre et digère parfaitement les tendances musicales actuelles (électro, urbain) tout en restant intemporel, naturel et authentique.

Pour revivre cet ode à l’amour absent, ce voyage intérieur à la recherche de l’autre, KANGLING trouvera son ton et son langage sur scène sous des formes toujours inédites, en solo, duo, full band... On y croisera Julia Emmery à l'orgue et au Moog (Belcirque...), Jérôme Hope aux boites à rythmes et synthés, Eric Bribosia (Jahwar, Yokai...) aux claviers, Wilfried Manzanza à la batterie (Kris Dane, Ivan Tirtiaux...). Dans la foule, tu danseras seul, il lira dans tes yeux. His love is always new.
