Será em breve editado o split-EP "Splitted", que junta num único CD três EPs de 3 bandas/projectos/artistas/qualquer-coisa: Bruno Duarte (ex-Velveteen, ex-My Best Nose, ex-Leeand me, actual München), Old Jerusalem e Puny.

Embora não figure no artwork, o EP de Old J chama-se "October's heyday". Um dos 3 temas não é instrumental e a letra é a que segue. Pronto, fica desta forma "lançada" por aí a parte do trabalho que não vai com o disco.

Up north in convoy

You had a deck of cards

We had time on our hands

And the sun wasnt all that bright

It was a good day to sit in the sand

To unleash your cheery grin

And the subtle glow of your happy eyes

The time that anticipated our sins

Was the time of our lives.

 

I used a petty lie

I was then the adamant trusty boy

And those were still happy times

When we all travelled up north in convoy

You made me feel like

I was the utmost epitome of cool

Either playing cards in the sun

Or wet, long-haired by the swimming pool.

 

So, sprinkling water

Put a halt to the way of the new moon

The worlds axis is in this place

And my life is rotating too soon

I hear flaws on records

In music that used to be heaven-made

Today I want to be the trustworthy tool

Im sick of being jack of all trades.

 

Its happy light outside

We know it wont shine within

And facing each tender threat

Youre ready to indulge my every whim

Why do you do it?

Is it an answer to something I asked?

Should soft words suffice to bring back that cheery girl

Id give back the time that has passed.

 

I favour beauty

In radiant and meaningful way

And youre somewhat oblivious

To simple facts like that at your display

It does me no favour

Nor does it work for yourself

Its almost another year

Late evening, April, the 12th.
