    This is one of the most exciting things I've done! Cassettes sound great, they look great, and they're a perfect collector's item (I made a small run of 40). In addition to a digital download of the album (download card with code included with item), you'll get:

    a 2-sided retro-lilac cassette with metallic 'rich gold' pad-print lettering in a clear case; gorgeous cover artwork by Mila Kapustina; and that warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction when that cassette clicks into place and the music starts :)

    Made in conjunction with Bee-Side Cassettes - beesidecassettes.bandcamp.com

about

I was listening to a lot of Francoise Hardy at the time. I don't speak French, but I took it in high school (..and Google Translate was my friend)
It's grammatically correct - I had it checked! #qualité

lyrics

Oh mon cheri
Ouvre tes yeux
Ouvre tes bras
Et même ton coeur
Oh mon cheri
C'est la seule prière
Que je dis pour toi
Oh mon amour
Est innocent
Mais toujours tu es dans mes rêves
Oh cheri
Je t’aimes et t’attends
J’en suis toute folle
Pour toi, mon amour

Et quand le ciel
Le ciel s'éteint
Ton visage sera la lumière
Plus brillant que la lune
Et le soleil
Et les étoiles
Et quand la Terre
N'existera plus
Ta voix sera plus qu’éternelle
Oh cheri
Je reste ici jusqu’à la fin
Je suis toute à toi
Oh mon amour

Ce sont les mots que je voulais te dire
Et maintenant
Je vois que tu pleures là
avec un sourire

Oh mon cheri
Mon coeur s’enflamme
Parce que tu me dis
Que tu m’aimes
Et moi aussi
Je pleure des larmes
Des larmes de joie
Oh mon amour
Je te promets
Que pour le reste de ta vie
Tu seras ma raison de vivre
Je t’adore
J’en suis toute folle
Pour toi, mon amour
