Kyo

Kyo is a pop rock band from France formed in 1994. Kyo consist of four members:(from the left)  brothers Fabien Dubos (drums) and Florian Dubos (backing vocals, guitar), Benoît Poher (vocals, guitar) and Nicolas Chassange (guitar). Their first major hit was Le chemin ("The road") featuring Dutch singer Sita. Their activity lamed before 2007 when they released their fourth and summing the Best of album. Poher has written songs for such artists as Emma Daumas, Thierry Amiel and Emmanuel Moire (more about him later).

And by the way the name Kyo comes from a King of Fighter video game character.

Though at some point Kyo feels like just another Westlife it's partly more rocking but still sweetlike boyish band. And in my opinion Benoît's and Florian's voices combine very beautifully.

JE SAIGNE ENCORE

Il a le droit de poser ses mains sur ton corps
Il a le droit de respirer ton odeur
Il a même droit aux regards qui le rendent plus fort
Mets-moi la chaleur de ta voix dans le coeur

*Et ça fait mal, crois moi, une lame enfoncée loin dans mon âme
Regarde en toi, même pas l'ombre d'une larme
Et je saigne encore, je souris à la mort
Tout ce rouge sur mon corps
Je te blesse dans un dernier effort *

Il aime caresser ton visage quand tu t'endors
Et toi tu te permets de dire encore encore
Je sais que ce qui ne tue pas nous rend plus fort
Mais moi, mais moi je suis déjà mort

*Ca fait mal, crois moi... *

Mais je saigne encore, je souris à la mort
Mais je saigne encore,
Tout ce rouge sur mon corps (3x)

I STILL BLEED

He has the right to put his hands upon your body

He has the right to breathe your odour

He has even the right to those looks that make him stronger

Put the warmth of your voice into my heart

*And it hurts, believe me, a blade pushed far away from my soul

Look at you there is not even a shadow of a tear

And I still bleed, I smile to death

All that red on my body

With my last effort I hurt you *

He loves to caress your face when you're asleep

And you let you say once more - once more

I know that what doesn't kill makes us stronger

But I - but I am already dead

*It hurts, believe me... *

But I still bleed, I smile to death

But I still bleed

All that red on my body (3x)

Rammstein

Rammstein a German rock band was founded by Richard Z. Kruspe in 1994. There are six members: Till Lindemann (lead vocals), Paul H. Landers (backing vocals, guitar), Rickhard Z. Kruspe (backing vocals, lead guitar), Oliver "Ollie" Riedel (bass), Christian "Flake" Lorenz (keyboards) and Christoph "Doom" Schneider (percussion). They are known by their dark songs and way to perform with huge pyrotechnics. Mostly their songs are in German but also songs that are partially or entirely in English, Spanish, Russian and French. Their lyrics are partly shocking (let alone music videos!) and partly full of words of literaly style and very sophisticated.

Rammstein has got may awards and it's known all over the world and in November and December the band will perform around the South America.

The following song is agonizing and powerful and the whole idea of the song is terrible. But this song is so impressive.

STEIN UM STEIN

Ich habe Pläne große Pläne

Ich baue dir ein Haus

Jeder Stein ist eine Träne

Und du ziehst nie wieder aus

Ja ich baue ein Häuschen dir

Hat keine Fenster keine Tür

Innen wird es dunkel sein

Dringt überhaupt kein Licht hinein

Ja ich schaffe dir ein Heim

Und du sollst Teil des Ganzen sein

*Stein um Stein mauer ich dich ein

Stein um Stein

Ich werde immer bei dir sein *

Ohne Kleider ohne Schuh

Siehst du mir bei der Arbeit zu

Mit den Füßen im Zement

Verschönerst du das Fundament

Draußen wird ein Garten sein

Und niemand hört dich schreien

*Stein um Stein... *

Welch' ein Klopfen welch' ein Hämmern

Draußen fängt es an zu dämmern

Alle Nägel stehen stramm

Wenn ich sie in dein Leibholz Ramm –

*Stein um Stein... *

STONE BY STONE

I have plans, big plans

I'm gonna build you a house

Every stone is a tear

And you will never move out

Yes I build you a little house

With no windows, no door

There will be dark inside

No light will shine inside

I'll get you a home

And you shall be part of that all

*Stone by stone 

I mason you inside

Stone by stone

I will always be by your side *

Without clothes, without shoes

You watch me working

Feet in concrete

You make the foundation look beautiful

Outside there will be a garden

And no one will hear you screaming

*Stone by stone... *

What a knock, what a hammering

Outside it's getting dark

All nails standing in line

When I hammer them into your wooden body

*Stone by stone... *

Apulanta

photo is from here

Apulanta a Finnish rock band is founded in 1991. The members are now Toni Wirtanen (composing, lyrics, vocals, guitar), Simo "Sipe" Santapukki (back vocals, drums) and from year 2005 Sami Lehtinen (back vocals, bass). Along with rock the genres are alternately changed from punk to alternative rock, nu metal, pop rock and hard rock. Anyway the music has changed to a bit heavier style.

The head singer of the band Toni Wirtanen makes also the deep lyrics. He takes his time to  write the songs and the topics are based on hard issues like mental health and life itself.

Apulanta has also done two publications in English though their main language is Finnish. Fans of Apulanta you can find mostly from Finland and Germany but also from other lands in Europe.

The latest album Kuutio ("Cube") was released in 2008 and in 2009 Apulanta won Emma-Award thanks for the album.

I think the absolutely best thing about Apulanta is the lyrics. Sometimes they are hard to understand for they have so deep meaning and toughtful words. And yes angst of North you can find from their music... :)

KONEESEEN KADONNUT

music & lyrics Toni Wirtanen

Koneeseen kadonnutta
ei voi takaisin saada
Kulutettu, käytetty
ruokkimaan ympyrää

Luotettu ehkä liikaa
siihen että aika korjaa
se minkä vuoksi nähtiin
niin kovin paljon vaivaa

Että hajalle saatiin
Se mikä kauniiksi tarkoitettiin

*Kipu kuolee huutamalla
alastomana lattialla
Miten kauan sitä kestää
ei, sitä ei voi tietää
Kehen sattuu ja kuinka paljon
siitä kysymys enää tässä kai on
Kun on saavuttu siihen pisteeseen
ettei mikään ole varmaa*

Maailman pisimmät tunnit
niiden otteeseen jää kiinni
Niitä kantaa loppuun asti
vaikka itse ei aina huomaa

Millainen on se taivas
jota ei löydetty koskaan
Olen kuullut paljon siitä
osan jopa omasta suustani

Voi niin pitkälle jaksaa
kun itsellensä vakuuttaa

*Kipu kuolee huutamalla... *

Joku meistä on onneton
palanut mutta tunnoton
katuva mutta uskoton
enemmän kuin rauhaton

Periaate on ehdoton
perustelu on aukoton
yhtälö ehkä mahdoton
Miten niin muka armoton? (5x)

*Kipu kuolee huutamalla... *

GONE INTO THE MACHINE

Gone into machine

Can't get it back

It's consumed, it's used

To feed the circle

One has trusted maybe too much

In that time will heal

The one for what

One has worked so much

So that we broke

What was ment to be beautiful

*Pain dies by screaming

Naked on the floor

How much will it take?

No,no one cannot know it

To who does it hurt and how much?

That's the question - I guess

When we have passed the point of no certainity * 

The most longest hours of the world

They hold on you

And you will carry them to the end 

Though you don't notice it by yourself

What kind of heaven it is

The one we never found?

I have heard so much about it

Some things even from my own lips

So far you can carry on

When you convince yourself

*Pain dies by screaming... *

Someone of us is hopeless

Burned but numb

Remorseful but unfaithful

More than calmless

The principle is absolute

Explanation has no chinks

Equation maybe impossible

How could it be merciless? (5x)

*Pain dies by screaming... *

ADIÓS, PAPÁ
Esta noche voy a cogerte bien
nos iremos a casa de tu papá
llamaré a la puerta, nos esconderemos
tiraremos piedras para no quedar bien

Y cuando piensen quién ha sido le diremos que no,
no han sido tus amigos, allí nadie quedó.
ya no sabes qué hacer

*Adiós papá, adiós papá,
consíguenos un poco de dinero más
consíguenos un poco de dinero más
más dinero *

Contarás las noches largas como serpientes
dormiras debajo de la cama otra vez
y todo el mundo escucha lo que les vas a decir
para decirte que está mal, para decirte no está bien
ya no sabes qué hacer

*Adiós papá... *

Esta noche voy a cogerte bien
nos iremos a casa de tu papá
llamaré a la puerta, nos esconderemos
tiraremos piedras para no quedar bien

Y cuando piensen quién ha sido le diremos que no
no han sido tus amigos, allí nadie quedó
ya no sabes qué hacer

*Adiós papá... *

GOODBYE, DAD

Tonight I'm gonna fuck you well

We'll go to your daddy's house

You'll ring the bell, we'll hide us

We'll throw the rocks for not to impress

And when they think who it was we'll say no,

No it was not your friends, there was no one

You don't know what to do anymore

*Goodbye dad, goodbye dad,
Give us a little more money

Give us a little more money

More money*

You will count the long nights, long like snakes

You will sleep under the bed once more

And the everybody hears what you'll say to them

To say to you that it's not okay, to say to you it's not enough

You don't know what to do anymore

*Goodbye dad... *

Tonight I'm gonna fuck you well

We'll go to your daddy's house

You'll ring the bell, we'll hide us

We'll throw the rocks for not to impress

And when they think who it was we'll say no,

No it was not your friends, there was no one

You don't know what to do anymore

*Goodbye dad... *

LOUISE

Sie waren verliebt
und fast noch Kinder
die Ewigkeit - entfernt und doch so nah
er trug ihr Bild
in seiner Seele
und niemand wird verstehn was dann am Meer geschah

Louise-mein Herz
du bist so schön
die Rosen wollen verblühen wenn sie dich seh'n
Louise-mein Herz
du musst verstehen
nur ohne Dich wird unsere Liebe währen

die Zeit verrinnt
die Blätter fallen
Nacht schwebt heran
Tag ohne Wiederkehr
ein Schatten naht
verdunkelt alle Welt
löscht seine Schritte
nimmt dich mit sich fort

Louise-mein Herz
wo willst du hin
das Wasser trägt uns jetzt ins Morgenlicht
Louise-so kalt
und es wird still
umsorgt von der Unendlichkeit des Augenblicks
er ist da

Louise-mein Herz
vergib mir nicht
die Welt hält an will sich nicht weiter drehen
Louise-und doch
die Schuld trifft dich
ich ließ dich gehen aber du verlässt mich nicht

Wellen über mir
greifen nach uns voller Gier
kein Wort, kein Weg bringt dich zurück

Louise-mein Herz
jetzt komm zur Ruh
mit meinen Tränen decken wir uns zu
ich und du

LOUISE

They were in love

And still only children

The eternity - so far and still so near

He carried her image

In his soul

And nobody will understand

What happened then at sea

Louise - my love

You are so beautiful

The roses want to wither when they see you

Louise - my love

You have to understand

Only without you will our love last

Time runs

The leafs fall

After floating colser

Day of no return

A shadowed night

The world gets dark

Your steps fade away

You'll be harassed

Heavily

Louise - my love

Where do you want to?

The water takes us now to the morning lights

Louise - so cold

And it becomes still

Taken care of unendlessness of instant

He is there

Louise - my love

Forget me not

The world holds me

And it will not carry on

Louise - and still

The blame comes to you

I let you go

But you won't let me

Waves over me

Catch us with full lust

No word, no road brings you back

Louise - my love

Now comes peace

With my tears we cover us

Me and you

Jane Birkin feat. Mickey3d

Jane Birkin is a British actress and  singer though she sings most of her songs in French. Her became famous in late 60's when she played in a startling movie called Blowup. She met Serge Gainsbourg in tha shooting of her next movie Cannabis and fell in love. Then the musical part came along and they released a song "Je t'aime... moi non plus" ("I love you... not anymore"). The song was openly very sexual - terrible scandal and it was prohibited inter alia in Sweden, Spain and Italy and it became a succee. The on-off relationship of Birkin and Gainsbourg was well followed and totally break up came not until he deceased. Birkins other songs never reached the same level that the first hit and he lived very quiet life until in  2004 she made a comeback with a duo album Rendez-vous ("Rendezvous"). Every song is duet with an other celebrity and though the album has been harshly criticized I myself regard it one of her best albums.

Birkin has been part of les Enfoirés a massive group of francophonic artists and musicians.

One of Rendez-vous albums featuring artist was the vocalist Michaël Furnon (in the middle) of the French rock group Mikey3d.  He is known as Mickey and the following song that he has made plays with their names Jane and Mickey: "My name is Jane.. Your name is not Tarzan, Your name is Mickey... My name is not Minnie".

JE M'APPELLE JANE

Dis Birkin, c'est quoi ce vieil accent que tu traînes et qui te rend l'air antipathique ?
C'est l'accent britannique.
Dis Birkin, pourquoi tu vas marcher dans la gadoue alors que ça salit tes bottes ?
C'est que je suis gamine.
Dis Birkin, pourquoi tu sea tu sex et puis tu sun dès que le mois d'août se radine ?
C'est que je suis caline.
Dis Birkin, c'est quoi ce vieux jean sale que tu trimballes depuis 1969 ?
C'est que je suis radine.

Je m'appelle Jane et je t'emmerde.
Toi tu ne t'appelles pas Tarzan.
Tu t'appelles Mickey, je t'emmerde.
Moi je ne m'appelle pas Minnie.

Dis Birkin, pourquoi t'as pas grossi en vieillissant t'es toujours aussi belle qu'avant ?
C'est que je suis maline.
Dis Birkin, pourquoi tu te mets toujours à pleurer dès que quelqu'un est en danger ?
C'est que je suis sensible.
Dis Birkin, pourquoi tu ne t'énerves jamais on dirait que tu fuis la colère ?
C'est que je suis fragile.
Dis Birkin, c'est quoi ces yeux qui regardent dans le vide on dirait que t'es dans la lune ?
C'est parce que je m'ennuie.

*Je m'appelle Jane...*

MY NAME IS JANE

Say Birkin, what is that old accent that hangs with you and makes you look antipathic?

It's a British accent.

Say Birkin, why do you march in the slush thouh it makes your boots dirty?

Because I'm a girl.

Say Birkin, why do you sea you sex and then you sun as soon as the month of august comes?

Because, I'm in need of cuddle.

*My name is Jane and I bore you

Your name is not Tarzan

Your name is Mickey, I bore you

My name is not Minnie*

Say Birkin, why haven't you gained weight when you've got older, you're as beautiful as alway?

Because I'm sly.

Say Birkin, why do you stat to cry when someone is in danger?

That's because I'm sensible.

Say, Birkin, why don't you never get nervous, they say that you escape from anger?

That's because I'm fragile.

Say Birkin, what are those eyes that look into emptyness why they say that you are in the moon?

That's because I'm bored.

*My name is Jane... *

Ohrbooten

Band called Ohrbooten comes  from Germany and combines different genres: hip hop, pop, rock, gypsy, reggae, jazz, dancehall, alternative, salsa, orientaö, ragga, rap and ska. Ohrbooten calls their musical style as Gyp-Hop, that's also the name of their third and for now latest album. Name comes from gypsy and hip hop.

There are four members (from left): Christopher Noodt (keyboard, bass, back vocals), Ben Pavlidis (leading vocals, guitar, lyrics), Markus "Onkel" (means "Uncle") Lingner (percussion, drums, cajon,  back vocals) and Matze Jechlitschka (guitar, back vocals).

Band Ohrbooten sings in German because they want to be undesrtod in Germany because the lyrics are essential. They don't sing just in German but in slang od Berlin. Though they have performed on the stage they keep coming back to the streets where their group was formed and started for to be near their audience and people.

Ohrbooten has collaborated with such Central European bands as Estonian group Vanilla Ninja and German group Culcha Candela (maybe more about them later) and from 2008  Ohrbooten has been working for German project "School without rasism - School with courage".

This song is about the sad weather when we want to go elsewhere "where the weather is better". I heard this song first time when it was raining cats and dogs and tarantellas and this was like a ray of sun in the middle of grey. I apologize for this lyrics translation may contain errors for I have translated it from slang of Berlin which I do not speak.

kalter Regen is of menen Wegen
und es fängt auch noch zu hageln an
ey wat is 'n dit für 'n Leben?
wat mach ich bloß in dieser Stadt,
die mehr Winter als nen Sommer hat?

*und tschüss!...
wann ik wiederkomm is ungewiss
sicher is, dass ik mir verpiss
dahin wo det Wetter besser is
Sonnenschein ohne Kompromiss*

mene Füße in die Socken
mit zusammn in mene Botten
und dann volle pulle joggen
zu Robben und Wientjes

Lasterverleih!!!

allet wat ik hab, 
ab of 'n Truck jepackt
durch die Innenstadt
Stop vor 'nem Trödelshop-Spot
und verklopp den Schrott
dit war doch allet nur 'n Anker
und ohne soviel Zeug läuft et doch sowieso entspannter
schicket one-way-ticket
der Style is mein Mantra

*und tschüss!... * (2x)

mein Konto lös ich auf
Wohnungskündigung is raus

meinen Kumpels sag ich ciao

*und tschüss!... *

UND TSCHÜSS!!!!



 AND BYE!!!!

I run down the street...

The cold rain is on my way

It starts to hail...

Ey what is this?

What am I really doing in this city

Which has more winter than summer?

*And bye!...

When do I come back

It's uncertain

Certain is that I'll go

There where the weather is better

Sunshine without compromise *

My feet are in my socks

With my boots

And then full speed ahead

To the "Robben und Wintjes" ( a rent a car& transport company)

!!!Rastafari!!!

All what I got

Is packed in a trunk

Through the city

STOP in front of a junk shop

I leave all my stuff

All that was just an anchor

With less stuff it's more relaxing

Send a one-way-ticket...

That is my mantra

*And bye...* (2x)

I erase my account, my house dismissal is on,

My car is sold, to my friends I say ciao!

*And bye...* (3x)

AND BYE!!!

Johnossi

Johnossi a duo from Sweden. Those two members are (from left) Oskar "Ossi" Bonde (drums, percussions, vocals) and John Engelbert (vocals, guitar, lyricist). So simply together they are Johnossi. Believe it or not it took quite some time before I got it, sad to admit.

Johnossi plays also tambourine, guiro, chims etc. Their lyrics are a bit angsty and the following song is one of the cheerest ones.

John and Ossi met when they were under 16 years old and duo was formed in 2004. They relesed their first album only after five moths of performing and financed the album with the income of their gigs. And now one of their albums has been released in Japan where thay also performed  first time in 2009.

This song is very creepy but oh so true. The music video is brilliant - it has that something. You can watch it when you click the title of the song.

MAN MUST DANCE

We're the people, the lucky
With the fragile bones
The ones who sit and worry
About getting to old
We're the people, the happy
With the broken hearts
The ones who draw a picture
And proclaim that it´s art

But you, and you, and you and you
You're just an animal developed into
You and you and you and you
A monkey needs to dance so do you

We're the people, the lucky
With the fragile bones
The ones who sit and worry
About catching a cold
We're the people, the happy
With the broken hearts
The ones who draw a picture
And proclaim that it´s art

But you, and you, and you and you
You're just an animal developed into
You and you and you and you
A monkey needs to dance so do you

*You like to do it as a child on your own
You're in the jungle and the monkeys
Take your mind from your home

How many time do they have to tell you
That it's perfectly fine for you to dance around
Naked when you're all by yourself*

Cause' you, and you, and you and you
You're just an animal developed into
You and you and you and you
A monkey needs to dance so do you

We're the people, the lucky
With the fragile bones
The ones who sit and worry
About getting to old
You're the monkey in the jungle
Trying to find your place
The one who let the sunset
Bring a silly kind of smile on your face

But you, and you, and you and you
You're just an animal developed into
You and you and you and you
A monkey needs to dance so do you

*You like to do it as a child...*

Cause you, and you, and you and you
You're just an animal developed into
You and you and you and you
A monkey needs to dance so do you

Sidonie

Picture is from here.

Sidonie is a Spanish band from Barcelona. It was formed in the late 90's and at first the lyrical language was mostly English but after album Fascinado (2005) it's been Spanish. 

The members are: Axel Pi (drums, bongos, tablas), Jesús Senra (bass,  vocals, sitar, guitar, main composer) and Marco Ros (main lyricist, vocals, guitar, bass guitar). They discribe Sidonie as a surrealist, psychedelic pop and psychedelic rock band. According to Sidonie the influeces comes from the Beatles, Rollings Stones, Bowie and Pink Floyd.

First album "Dragonfly" was released in 2000 and the latest "El incendio" ("The fire") in 2009.

This song is my very favourite of Sidonies songs. The basic plot of the song: A boy tries to tell a girl he's in love with her but awkwardly he falls right in front of her with his sad daisy bouquet. She thinks he's crazy and is afraid of him and calls the cops and the boy has never courage to say "I love you". It's simple and easy but so fun AND sad to listen. I'm very fond of songs which are stories that really work. You can hear that some songs are foced to specific rimes to be perfect stories but Sidonie has done it so perfect. Not too short, not too many and hard phrases.

EN MI GARGANTA

Es el día de la cita
te he traído margaritas
del jardín de mi casero
Te quiero!

En la plaza de repente
yo te veo entre la gente
me resbalo caigo al suelo
Te quiero!

Te tiendo la mano
y te ofrezco triste ramo
te apartas un poco
y me dices que estoy loco.

*Está en mi garganta

Está en mi garganta
Me está cortando y sangra

Me está cortando y sangra
Me ahoga el te quiero que jamás podré decir.*

Yo te hablo y me atraganto
estoy temblando quedo en blanco
tu me hablas yo no entiendo
Te quiero!

En las ramblas ya eres mia
tu has gritado policía
me he escondido en el puerto
Te quiero!

Espero la calma
mientras tu crucero zarpa
Agito un pañuelo
digo adiós a la que quiero.

*Está en mi garganta...*

IN MY THROAT

It's the day of the date

I've brought you daisies

From my home garden

I love you!

Suddenly on the square

I see you among the people

I slip and fall to the ground

I love you!

And to you 

I hand a sad bouquet

You draw away little

And to me you say that I'm crazy

*It is in my throat

It is in my throat

It's killing me and I bleed

It's killing me and I bleed

I suppress the "I love you"

That I never can say

I talk to you and the words get stuck

I'm shaking and I turn into white

You talk to me and I don't understand

I love you!

At market streets you are mine

You yelled the police

I hide into the harbour

I love you!

I'm waiting the peace

Meanwhile you cross the zebra crossing

I wave the handkerchief

I say goodbye to the girl I love

*It is in my throat...*

The style of repeating one sentence in the middle of the track could be dull - but what comes with Paprika Korps - it's not. On the stage they are impressive playing among the invasive fog under the flash of the blue and red lights.

Paprika Korps new album Metalchem is released couple of weeks ago.

One specially good song is Camp Babylon.

MIND EXPLORER

*Explore the mind and reach salvation
Solve the puzzle of creation*

Past events, past lifes happened to you
More than just a feeling of a deja-vu
I feel like a onlooker into my past life
Cutting into previous times my mind the knife

When hallucinating seem things in dreams
Could I see into the future? It isn't what it seems
I say it's confusion the way that I feel
Chemical inside me makes it so surreal

*Explore the mind and reach salvation
Solve the puzzle of creation*

They hold the strings, salvation is far
You'd like to see things the way that they are
They don't want you discovering your mind
They stay in power, while you stay blind

Wisedom, knowledge you must devour
Threaten convention, those in power
As will the opressors in authority
Who'd hate to see our land totally free

*Explore the mind and reach salvation
Solve the puzzle of creation*

Ragga technician is on the mission
Against those who stay in power while you stay in vision
Watch out a feel a reggae wide attack
Bad days now are gone, the rotten system gone out

So people people move your dancing bodies
Destroy the old statement make everything clear
Our mind shall burn, with or without cannabis
The time is incoming, and the prophecy is near
