COME SEPTEMBER January, I see the light for the first time. February, wedding bells ring. In March, it feels quite nice. It feels alright. April showers send me flowers In May, they say "fais ce qu'il te plait." By June I start to fall apart And in July the time flies by August always brings the same things All the years blend together What will I remember? All the years blend together What will I remember? All the years blend together What will I remember? What will I do now? I always make the same resolutions and then forget them I start with such high hopes but where do they go? Come September it starts over October lies with its disguise November please, please leave the leaves December ends with no amends All the years blend together What will I remember? All the years blend together What will I remember? All the years blend together What will I remember? What will I do now? All the years look alike. What will I remember? What should I do now? All the years look alike. What will I remember? What should I do now?

Frustration 03:06
FRUSTRATION You caught me staring from the corner I tried to hide to save my pride you don't want me, no no no you don't want me you don't want me, no no no you don't want me He's a bad choice but I'm desperate I am not waiting For you to call me It’s just as well You never will you don't want me, no no no you don't want me you don't want me, no no no you don't want me I'm a puppet on the shelf and I'll answer no-one else but you're just a little boy who's grown tired of his toy why won't you just let me be? why do you do these things to me? dust me off and take me with you and I'm aching with frustration you keep me begging wanting more But you don't want me, no no no you don't want me But you don't want me, no no no you don't want me It's not fair to keep me here no, no, it's not fair.... it's not, it's not fair...

Drinking some cider in an empty bar, making some money in America. It's all about money in America. I'm trying to change its mind. I thought that I had finally found it, but some things never turn out as they should. You made me touch life like no one else did. And now you are stepping back It hurts... Some fires burn bright and then burn out. Is there a way to make out right from wrong? So disconnected and so far away Will I be left with silence from now on? Like a meteorite in a field, Suddenly it all comes crashing down. It hurts...

His rugged face, a landscape marked by time, was a harsh terrain where all gentle thoughts go to die. The East Texas hills are a wild place to get lost in. You took me there in a truck once and I thought about staying. Her gnarled hands, a landscape marked by time, were a harsh terrain where no sweet caress could hide. The East Texas hills are a wild place to get lost in. You took me there in a truck once and I thought about staying. I've been working out in the yard, raking up the leaves. I like to think of your skin turning rough like the bark of that tree. It's a question of time, of time, of time... Your pale blue eyes, a landscape marked by time, are a harsh terrain where I'd happily lay down and die. The East Texas hills are a wild place to get lost in. You took me there in a truck once and I thought about staying. I've been working out in the yard, raking up the leaves. I like to think of your skin turning rough like the bark of that tree. It's a question of time, of time, of time...

I know what these feelings do and I know it's nothing good. I turn a brick round in my hand but there's no way to make it stand. Tell lies or tell the truth who cares if it's done for good? Lie so much that you believe in all your stories. I fell in there a long time ago Already saw the snow I know where this leads for sure and it's no place for you A rabbit hole in the snow A rabbit hole in the snow I know where this leads for sure and it's no place for you. You're playing out the drama like a cheap soap opera mmmmmmm I fell in there a long time ago Already saw the snow I know where this leads for sure and it's no place for you a rabbit hole in the snow a rabbit hole in the snow I know where this leads for sure and it's no place for you. What once was black and white now bursts into color, Psychedelic, kaleidosopic, wild and unreal. Things should be coming into focus but right now I don't have enough distance. Staring at the sun is sure to blind me just like the bright white light of a field of snow Staring at the sun will drive me crazy just like the bright white light of a field of snow I fell in there a long time ago Already saw the snow I know where this leads for sure and it's no place for you a rabbit hole in the snow a rabbit hole in the snow I know where this leads for sure and it's no place for you.

Let's go, let's go swimming. Let's go down to the lakeside. Let's go skinny dipping together in the moonlight. Let's go, let's go down to the lakeside. Skinny dipping, skinny dipping. Put your body next to mine Skinny dipping skinny dipping Put your body next to mine Let's park, let’s park the car here. Feel the sand beneath your feet. What if we leave our clothes here in a pile on the beach? Skinny dipping, skinny dipping Put your body next to mine Skinny dipping skinny dipping Put your body next to mine You run You run You run You run right up to the water's edge. It was my idea, my idea But you're the braver one, I guess. But you’re the braver one I guess Let's go, let's go swimming. Let's go down to the lakeside. Let's go skinny dipping together in the moonlight. skinny dipping, skinny dipping, Put your body next to mine. You run You run You run You run right up to the water's edge. It was my idea, my idea But you're the braver one, I guess. But you’re the braver one I guess You are the one who sees things through...

about

Château Nowhere Austin, Texas

Château Nowhere is a graceful turbulence of epic indie rock. A unique sonic metamorphosis of dissonance with reminiscent echoes of the early sounds of Blonde Redhead and groovier Deerhoof. The band evokes a French melancholy enlightened with the disparate sounds of the Kantele; an amplified harp with 38 piano strings. A mystical wonder from Finland. ... more
