Stars 03:24
I think I've made a mistake, I am not supposed to be here, No I won't panic... I promised to be quiet, Even if it burns me out..Out! I won't scream,I won't cry. Please let me go now, I'll never talk about it, I'll never disappoint you. Don't hurt me I am a liar, I can see stars anywhere, We are only a few words now to be one.

System 03:25
I had enough of your shit for this life, I'll go and rest now , for the next one, It's been a long time you've been watching me, It's been a long time I wanted to tell you, I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you Push me against the wall , I won't fight you, I'm so tired to be the one you love, it's been a long time I am lost in this world, it's been too much time now , you have to know. I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you

Andy 05:38
It's not about you, But get scared sometimes, We're in the dark, and we lost our minds. What did you plan? What is on your mind ? You'd like to dance...? But you too shy.... Are you ready for the bird? Are you ready to sing? Andy ..

Les saisons 02:05
C'est par le printemps, ou le soleil eveille les fleurs, que je t'ai vu prier les cieux, que je t'ai vu l'implorer de partir. C'est par l'ete, ou l'on pleur a l'ombre du soleil, que je t'ai vu t'asseoir pres du chene, que je t'ai vu eguiser le couteaux, qui te couperait les vennes C'est par une saison ou l'on vis pres du soleil en chantant, vivant au son du ruisseau coulant, perdre la tete dans un pot de miel, et s'enfuir, s'enfuir.

Better 04:17
All I need is a good friend, That can listen and understand, Because I have so many things to say. Why can't you just be here for me ? When I am down... Ten lines of poetry, Won't make it better, When I am down When I am down
10.
You say you're too weak, It's so far away , you can't go on. So ,you take the other way, Lie down on the floor. You say you can't do that anymore, I say it' s ok, you stay here if you want. Your home is less than a piece of paper Your home is less than a piece of paper You say democracy is hypocrisy, Because nobody really cares about you. So, you stay under the sky of dirt, You cut your pants , it looks like a skirt, You found a new street to make money. I say it's ok you can do that if you want. Your home is less than a piece of paper Your home is less than a piece of paper

about

Music for headphones is the second full length album by The Color Green. It was released somewhere in 2004.

By the end of year 2003, the recording sessions were over, back from a long journey in Asia.
I've been choosing to use other ways to make my music and to sound as original as I could, trying to keep and use the "moment", as my sole guide, and to try to be as close as possible to myself.

I've got influenced a lot by all kind of improvisational techniques, whether it was on an instrument, or within my creativity process. Also, I was introduced to the Tabla and Hindu's rhythm systems.

"Stars" was written at my return, and opens the album for that reason.
The rest of the material (and a lot more, that is not on that album..)
was written while travelling, and meeting the most wonderful people around the world.
The result is a very impulsive sound, more attached to impressions and "textures", than regular musical arrangements, with regular set ups.

It is a direct continuation of The Color Green first self entitled debut album, melting orientalism and psychedelic folk rock.

Another step into my experiences with music and myself.
