Soldier 03:14
First day home you don't care, Don't you dare do that to me i hope you tell dad I'm not there 'Cause I am a damned soldier y'know I'm a burning soldier That's my last day home I have to go back My legs can't move I have to say good bye.

Hope 02:27
I use you Let me use you Let me feel you Little Hope, let me stay with you I use you Let me use you Let me feel you Little Hope, let me stay with you Little Hope, let me mess with you

I dreamt I was a god, I dreamt I was a savior, Believed in none, But a man can dream. I once looked over my shoulder, There was no one to watch my back. I dreamt I was old I dreamt I had a home This somehow felt strange 'coz I couldn't give a fuck We could have crossed an ocean But we settled for a river. We decided to waits Until the world went dry So we could build a highway Across the salty plane I dreamt I was old I dreamt I had a home This somehow felt strange 'coz I couldn't give a fuck

Cellophane 03:14
These days you walk But you can't do a straight line 'cause the sun's obstructing your eyes. Your skin is burning And your mouth's getting dry but there is no water around you And there nobody on which to rely There is a rumour That you've been travelling Until you've gone blind These days you walk But you can't do a straight line 'cause the sun's obstructing your eyes. Your skin is burning And your mouth's getting dry but there is no water around you And the birds in the sky They are all dead And there nobody on which to rely There is a rumour That you've been travelling Until you've gone blind

about

We The Island Birds Montreal, Québec

It all started when Julien-Pier and Ludovic were drinking beer a summer night, enjoying the fresh breeze of Montreal while playing some simplistic 3 chords progressions with crappy solos and percussions. Since then, Evain Maurice, a jazz percussionist, joined the band to add some structure to the mess they were making. Bu Evain recently left Montreal to pursue his dream of becoming a hippie. ... more
