BREATHE
Give us space
Give us air
Or take it back just long enough for us to care
Let us see
Let us feel
Let us hear the screaming nature, let us fear
Please let's do, what it takes
To get men to make amend for their mistakes
Give us time
Time to see
That Life's all around us, all it asks is be
Breathe, oh breathe
You need to keep on breathing
Let Earth keep on breathing
(x2)
Help stop the fight
The fight for power
Make us smart enough so we can all live together
Make us weak
So sick of strong
Help weak to try to make things right
Don't let strongs win though they're wrong
Breathe, oh breathe
You need to keep on breathing
Let Earth keep on breathing
(x2)
Give men the will, to carry on
Not going for what’s best for one but for what’s best for all
Please let’s do what it takes
For them to finally make amend for their mistakes
Breathe, oh breathe
You need to keep on breathing
Let Earth keep on breathing
(x2)
Breathe, breathe, keep on breathing

Crying in the rain

CRYING IN THE RAIN
The sun is rising my precious love
Life is so easy light as a dove
And the future?
A day that never ends
Happiness
Blinded by love
I gotta wear shades
Do what lovers do
In a world of our own
The best we've ever known
Getting free from all our chains
No more crying in the rain
The sun is high but where is my love?
Sometimes you're distant sometimes you're gone
Seems like the winds have cooled the air
Here's a cloud
Where is your love? I need it so bad
Do what strangers do
In a world of their own
It's almost every home
We're not playing the same game
Sometimes crying in the rain
Now the sun is going down
Story ending
And the clouds darken the stars
Wow oh oh oh oh oh
It's been to hard to bear I am leaving
What you reap is what you sow
Wow oh oh oh oh oh
Leave you crying in the rain
Now the sun is going down
And it’s starting to rain
Don’t want you in my game
Gonna catch the fastest train
Leave you crying in the rain
Now you're crying in the rain
And I’m not the one to blame
If you're crying in the rain

LISTEN TO DADDY
Hey people, listen to me
Come on people and trust in me
You know what I’m saying is true
Well that is what a ruler wants from you
No matter how you feel
You don’t need to know what’s real
All you gotta do is listen to me
Yeah, listen to Daddy
Hey Children, hear what I say
Father’s talking, got to obey
As your sweet tyrant I will think for you
You’ll only know what I want you to
Cause I don’t care how you feel
No I don’t give a damn, that’s real
All you gotta do is listen to me
Yeah, listen to Daddy
Who said you could think by yourself
Who ever said you had your word to say
Don’t you even bother to complain
Your only right is to shut down your pain
Be a good girl, a good boy, that’s it
Cause if you don’t there’ll be punishment
I am the authority down here
I won’t repeat did I make myself clear
Hey people, hear what I say
Come on people let me explain
From all lands folks do what master’s saying
Now and for ever shepherds lead their herd
Cause we don’t care how you feel
We did and still don’t give a damn, that’s real
All you gotta do is listen to me
Yeah, listen to Daddy
Listen, Listen to me
Listen to me, listen to Daddy

THIS SUMMER 21
This summer 21 is a summer we won’t forget
We’ll try whatever comes to mind, what, i don’t know yet
We’ll dance, we’ll sing until late at night
We’ll scream and shout, like Britney once said « turn it up »
I’ll go every day to enjoy a place I missed
From the fancy terrace to the famous Disney parade
I’ll eat it all at my friend’s BBQ
I’ll let flow liquors on and on and champagne too
Life is short don’t wait for tomorrow, live it today
Change is sudden it don’t knock your door, you can’t expect it
I will not restrict myself, no I won’t wait
Freedom is priceless, oh don’t you think
This summer 21 is a summer we won’t forget
We’ll try whatever comes to mind, what, i don’t know yet
We’ll go to the movie at least twice a week
We’ll bowl, we’ll swim as we are running olympics
I’ll take time to say ‘Hi’ to all my loved ones
I’ll make sure they know how much I love them
I’ll enjoy every second every moment we share
They will remain in my memory, I swear
Life is short don’t wait for tomorrow, live it today
Change is sudden it don’t knock your door, you can’t expect it
I will not restrict myself, no I won’t wait
Freedom is priceless, oh don’t you think
This summer 21 is a summer we won’t forget

PEOPLE OF THE DAMNED
Intimidation
Pressures, threats
Abuses, growing fear
No way to escape
Machine guns
Instead of songs
Behind your curtain
Always drawn
A faceless pawn
Constant repression
Hear the whips slam
Time for retaliation
Getting worse all the time
You can forget any hope
Behind your curtain
Always drawn
A faceless pawn
People of the damned
Under the devil's thumb
People of the damned
Betrayed in
Their homeland
White flag and rifles
As a symbol of obscurantism
Suffocated women
Who lost everything
Oh yeah
Everything they believed in
Behind their curtain
Always drawn
Like faceless pawns
People of the damned
Under the devil's thumb
People of the damned
Betrayed in
Their homeland
(x2)
People of the damned...

I’LL GET THROUGH THIS TIME
You can keep me locked,
But you can’t keep my soul from a ride
You can keep me trapped in
And tell me when to go at night
But as long as I got to let walk my mind
I know I’ll get through this Time
I got to mask my face,
But it won’t shut me down, yeah
I am isolated from others,
They’re forbidden to be around
But as long as I got to let talk my mind
I know I’ll get through this Time
We used to laugh, to touch, to live
We used to plan, to enjoy ourselves
We used to be safe, lived without fear
It’s all behind us, got to move on now
You can sack my shows,
But you can’t stop me singing, yeah
You can get them canceled,
But we’ll just keep on playing
Cause as long as I got to express my mind
I’ll get through…this time
You can keep me locked,
But you can’t keep my soul from a ride, yeah
You can keep me trapped in
And tell me when to go at night, hum
Cause as long as I got to let talk my mind, alright
Cause as long as I got to let walk my mind, oh yeah
Cause as long as I got to express my mind,
I’ll get through this Time

EVOLVED WORLD
Look at you! Slumped on your armchair
You “man” watch and let me slog, being helpless
How do you see me? As your slave?
I ain’t your mother bordering you baby?
It’s distressing!
Back at work, here I go again
Being considered for something else than what I am
What do men think? I know it well
Girls try, but never go past them
It’s distressing!
In this evolved world, women are too much left out
In this evolved world, the word parity’s been worn out
But in this evolved world, women are yet the key
To a life well fulfilled
Look at me! Okay, I’m a pretty girl,
But can’t you see what stands beyond appearances?
Do you know what I mean? I think you know what I mean
It's time now to break the silence
It is pressing!
In this evolved world, women are too much left out
In this evolved world, the word parity’s been worn out
But in this evolved world, women are yet the key
To a life well fulfilled
Everyone, since day one
Relies on the woman they call mum
But once grown
Mum goes down
In this evolved world, women are too much left out
In this evolved world, the word parity’s been worn out
But in this evolved world, women are yet the key
To a life well fulfilled
(X 2)
To a life well fulfilled

(The Very Last) SNOWFLAKES
Hardly standing
Rewinding the main scenes
All these fires
Some will remain dreams
You taught your children to fly
You saw your parents leave
To cross the rivers
You had to build some bridges
Watching the very last snowflakes
Watch ‘em fall in the haze
Hear them fall, hear the silent speech
Watching the very last snowflakes
No matter why, no matter how, the sun has risen
From the trampled earth the flowers have grown
Despite the rainbow promise the leaves have fallen
Now the cold winter hurts my tired bones
Watching the very last snowflakes
Watch ‘em fall in the haze
Hear them fall, hear the silent speech
Watching the very last snowflakes
Watching the very last snowflakes
Now the sun is shining again
And the restless children play
A strange smile on the snowman’s face
A strange smile on the snowman’s face
A strange smile on the snowman’s face
Under the very last snowflakes

TOUCH OF GROOVE, the self titled first album from TOG, is a soul music project inspired by Afro-American music of the sixties. The recording makes us revive the thrill of the Stax and Atlantic classics with a touch of modernity. The music is enhanced with lyrics dealing with timeless subjects such as gender relations, the oppression of political leaders or the issues from the pandemic. ... more
