From one to another From here to over there Towards you Something, getting somehow, somewhere Closer to and further from Closer to and further from Heart stirred Thoughts blurred I feel scared I know it's absurd Trying my best to avoid I try not to let it show Trying my best to have a choice I try not to let it go From one to another From here to over there From here to over you.

Your Life 03:23
I wanted to say to you how beautiful you are to me how brave you seem how brave you are I like the way you stand up for what you believe is true how you find your way through I like that you seem so sure where I’d feel insecure I like the way you choose Your Life Your Life I like that you seem peaceful and I suddenly feel like everything is possible. Possible. possible.

Unknown 03:12
I never meant to intrude, Never said I needed it to become true it lived within the space between unknown untold unseen unknown unshown unrevealed It nested in the back of my mind It lived within the space behind I let her sing in the space between where you shouldn't have been It was not for you to hear my dear I'm sorry if you did I'm sorry if you noticed I must admit I can't control it I must admit I must admit I tried to hide it, I guess I know it's wrong She 's best Unknown Untold Unseen Unknown unshown unrevealed She will disappear before it ever gets near I will let her fade away in the space between you and me, Them and him Them and us.

Whirlpool 04:07
I close the door My back against the wall, I fall Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out Breathe In Breath out Breathe in Breath out I walk down the stairs leaving you up there with your guilt and fears I holdback my tears and disappear as you please my dear Step by Step down the whirlpool of my sorrow I wonder how I'll feel tomorrow When I'm alone Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out Depth to depth I seem to wonder Diving in and out of these waters Out of control Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out Breathe out Breathe out Breathe out Breathe out

The dot 03:36
Within the Dot is all I dare not Within the dot is all I can’t stop feel I cannot share it tells untellable words love unfair it means all I may not do voiceless lines who only strew All my sweet ventures squeeze into one forbidden pressure Neat Within the dot is all I dare not within the dot eye tears. I tear up thoughts of a wretched sort quiet the useless needs sought (born) avoid pain as much as answers all doubts remain uncovered it invokes the start and beginning. it doesn’t quite end anything. it contains in vain within the Dot is all I dare not within the dot is all I can't stop feel I cannot share it tells untellable words love unfair it means all I may not do voiceless lines who only strew All my sweet ventures squeeze into one forbidden pressure Neat Within the dot is all I dare not within the dot is all I can't stop

Je danse 04:49
Peine du mois de décembre Gris qui dépeint l’ombre, Folle qui naît du froid, Qui s’est perdu, qui ne sait pas Qui ne sait plus Fantôme de nos hivers Qui vogue le long des rues et des chemins de fer D’un air absent, d’un air perdu Tu vogues le long des rues Ame frêle et docile Qui s’oublie et s’éparpille De gauche à droite et de bas en haut Je flotte à la surface de l’eau Dans un bel état d’urgence. A deux pas de là je danse Sans plus chercher de sens Sans plus chercher de sens Sans plus chercher de sens

Surrender 05:02
Wash it away Wash it away Surrender, Surrender, Surrender, Surrender, Sur… Comply with peace As it calls you to sleep Hand over my heart Withhold, withhold Give in,give in In the dark, give Surrender, Surrender Surrender,Surrender Or Resist the fall The call to more More to sigh for More to come More to ache for More for less Surrender,surrender Surrender surrender Sur…. Or rejoice in the days of spring Remember the awakening of things Cease the hunt of shadows Give up the name who echoes Like a hellish bewitched song Upon our thirsty eyes Upon our starving lips Feeding the foolish fires Surrender, Surrender, Surrender, Surrender, … Comply with peace As it calls you to sleep Hand over my heart Withhold, withhold Withhold. Surrender, Surrender, Surrender, Surrender,

Let me shiver As a silent observer As a child would do let me listen to you dear man don't misunderstand I'm here as a dreamer to learn not as a lover you'd burn out don't mistake me I'm here as in a stream beyond the need beyond the need beyond that need beyond the need I'll let you hold me and I'll let you own me I'll give in if that is what you need but dear man you misunderstand how can I stay wholehearted how can I stay enchanted if I let you hold me beyond the need beyond that need beyond the need Just Let me shiver As a silent observer As a child would do let me listen to you

I was Wrong hoped for a depth within your song Acting strong yet tears of an affected heart drift along yet tears of an addicted heart drift along yet fears of an affected heart Drift along I was Wrong Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows I was Wrong, I was wrong hoped for a depth within your songs acting strong yet tears of an affected heart drift along Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows As the wind blows, as the rain falls As the wind blows, as the wind blows As the wind blows. To keep the best you can put your worried soul to rest I'll keep the best you can put your selfish soul to rest forgive & forget that is what I know best forgive and forget move on, carry on, move on, carry on, move on, carry on Cuz Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows Useless and vain is my pain as the rain & the wind blows I should've known better doesn't matter don't bother I should've known better doesn't matter don't bother I should've known better doesn't matter don't bother I should've known better doesn't matter don't bother I should've known better doesn't matter don't bother Your emotions are unemployed and (plain) that's a shame for you, foolish, Foolish man.

Your Kingdom 01:45
Your kingdom Absorbed in the mass our inroads cross as we walk by shapes who follow unaware or blind afflicted by our own shadowy twisted mind and form waving behind we seat the same ship alive, or still unborn ( yet to be born) each line is continuous as night to dawn will answers unravel ? From young to old ? half asleep when you travel, you are cold awake my innocent child within. these wrongs are adulthoods sins hearts bleed and have so often been bitten a thousand mouths and thoughts within the bodies doors the others kingdom births a billion paths and corridors unspoken stories whispered To the wind ah ah ah ah ah ah whispered to the wind or to the nights silence whoever hears our hopes and ever bothers to listen ? There’s bound to be someone ah ah ah ah ah ah one someone one one one It’s too hard to believe there’s no one no one. someone , there’s bound to be someone within your kingdom

O my love, what gift of mine Shall I give you this dawn? A morning song? But morning does not last long— The heat of the sun Wilts like a flower And songs that tire Are done. O friend, when you come to my gate. At dusk What is it you ask? What shall I bring you? A light? A lamp from a secret corner of my silent house? But will you want to take it with you Down the crowded street? Alas, The wind will blow it out. Whatever gifts are in my power to give you, Be they flowers, Be they gems for your neck How can they please you If in time they must surely wither, Crack, Lose lustre? All that my hands can place in yours Will slip through your fingers And fall forgotten to the dust To turn into dust. Rather, When you have leisure, Wander idly through my garden in spring And let an unknown, hidden flower’s scent startle you Into sudden wondering— Let that displaced moment Be my gift. Or if, as you peer your way down a shady avenue, Suddenly, spilled From the thick gathered tresses of evening A single shivering fleck of sunset-light stops you, Turns your daydreams to gold, Let that light be an innocent Gift. Truest treasure is fleeting; It sparkles for a moment, then goes. It does not tell its name; its tune Stops us in our tracks, its dance disappears At the toss of an anklet I know no way to it— No hand, nor word can reach it. Friend, whatever you take of it, On your own, Without asking, without knowing, let that Be yours. Anything I can give you is trifling— Be it a flower, or a song. O, bel amour, que puis je t’offrir à l’aube de cette journée, une chanson matinale? mais les matins ne durent jamais, la chaleur du soleil les fait vanner comme des fleurs et les chants qui fatiguent se taisent O ami, lorsque tu viens à mon portail le soir que me veux tu ? que dois je t’apporter? une lumière ? une lampe issues d’un coin secret de ma maison silencieuse? mais voudras tu l’amener avec toi dans les rues bondées, hélas, le vent l’éteindra, Tout ce qu’il est dans mon pouvoir de t’offrir, que cela soient des fleurs que cela soient des bijoux pour ton cou, comment pourraient-ils te plaire, si avec le temps ils s’abiment inévitablement. craquent, perdent de leurs lueurs. Tout ce que ma main peut placer dans la tienne glissera à travers tes doigts et retournera oublié jusqu’à la terre redeviendra poussière, Plutôt, quand tu as du plaisir, te promène sans but, à travers mon jardin au printemps, et te laisse surprendre par une une fleur inconnue, cachée, te laissant en suspend et songeur, laisse ce moment inattendu être de mon fait, mon offrande, Ou, si pendant que tu aires dans les avenues ombragées, soudainement, dégoulinant de l’épaisse chevelure tressée du soir un seul rayon du soleil couchant t’arrête, transforme ta rêverie en or, laisse cet éclat être mon cadeaux innocent. le véritable trésor est fuyant il brille pour un temps, puis s’évanouit il ne se nomme pas, sa chanson nous halte dans notre parcours, et sa danse disparait au scintillement d’un bracelet de cheville je ne sais y aller, aucun mot, aucune main ne peut l’atteindre, Ami, peu importe ce que tu en retiens, seul, sans demander, sans même savoir, prends le pour toi, tout ce que je peux t’offrir est éphémère que cela soit une fleur, ou une chanson.

Backwards 03:36
Backwards I had to make up my mind for my own sake I have to make up my mind for your own sake I won’t fall back I won’t fall back I won’t fall backwards my love is so hurt has been so misunderstood I guess I learn not as fast as I should I guess I learn not as fast as I could you say you have no time to loose I tell you I need more to be sure that it’s true beneath the walls we built in between us two during the years in between our tears I can’t tell what’s love from fear I can’t feel I can’t not feel nor joy, nor pain. can I say that I’m alive, when I feel this dead inside? I had to make up my mind For my own sake we have to make up our minds should we fall back ? should we fall back ? should we fall backwards?

about

Paulette Wright France

La musique de Paulette Wright explore un univers folktronica inspiré de ses origines britannique, une voix douce et mélodieuse posée sur fond poétique et métissé.

Ses chansons "parlent de l’humain, de ses échecs, ses réussites, ses doutes, et toutes les sensations qui en découlent. Cela va du simple plaisir de vivre, à la perte de liberté…..'
(entretien magazine PAULETTE 28.08.2012).
