Tabs and lyrics
blog // April 05th 2011 by Simon.
We've had many people asking us for tabs, chords or lyrics of our songs lately. We've therefore decided to start posting some of them on our website. We'll try to update this section as often as possible so feel free to request your favorite song!
04/03 Update: "Near the edge of something beautiful"
04/05 Update: "Lali"
EVERYTHING I SEE
Verse: F Dm Am C (x2) then Dm Dm Am Am
Chorus: Dm Am C C F Dm C C
At first I wasn't quite sure this would fit
but I've been seeing you in everything I see
Still, is this leading us to any stability?
Or do we try to hide what we won't see?
I didn't even count the years
it took to get there
Was it worth the wait?
At first I wasn't quite sure this would fit
but I've been seeing you in everything I see
I didn't even count the years
it took to get there
Was it worth the wait?
I'll come back when I mean it
Regrets for me now
remain far enough
I'll come back when I mean it
Regrets for me now
remain far enough
I'll come back when I mean it
Regrets for me now
remain far enough
I'll come back when I mean it
Regrets for me now
remain far enough
I'll come back when I mean it
Regrets for me now
remain far enough
I'll come back when I mean it
Regrets for me now
remain far enough

NEAR THE EDGE OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
Oh everything is so unclear, I don't know if I should see
Oh everything is so unclear, I don't know if I should see
You wish you were happy you can keep your fingers crossed
You wish you were happy you can keep your fingers crossed
But don't you dare telling me it never seemed wrong to me
I should have known, I should have known
I should have left you way before
And if I'd known, if I had known I wouldn't have loved you at all
Oh everything is so unclear, I don't know if I should see
Oh everything is so unclear, I don't know if I should see
You wish you were happy you can keep your fingers crossed
You wish you were happy you can keep your fingers crossed
But don't you dare telling me it never seemed wrong to me
I should have known, I should have known
I should have left you way before
And if I'd known, if I had known I wouldn't have loved you at all
SUNLIGHT
Verse: Bm Em
Chorus: G Em

Je suis pas contre la tab de Near the Edge. Mais bien sur, si ça doit venir parasiter votre travail créatif en studio, je retire ma requete!

XMAS EP
news // December 17th 2010 by Exson.
About a year ago, we released "There's no Place Like Homes", an acoustic record that followed our house show tour. This tour could have ended like this but we had such a good time and response that we decided to go for another year of shows, still acoustic but in venues this time, throughout France, Belgium, Spain and Germany. Once again, this tour was full of nice meetings and great moments and it seemed just natural to share some of these moments with those of you who followed us, supported us, listened to our music or wrote to us.
With this live EP, we give you the chance to re-live some of these precious instants through what we thought were the most representative versions of some of our songs. And even though the recordings are taken from shows in Paris, be sure we had great times everywhere!
http://exsonvaldes.bandcamp.com/album/xmas-ep
This EP is yours, which means you can download it for free and share it with whoever you want; you can also pay what you want or what you can, if you feel like it.
We're hoping that you'll send us some memories of this year of concerts, may these 5 tracks bring some like it did to us!
See you soon for new adventures, with electricity this time, on record and live.
Antoine / Guillaume / Martin / Simon
Tracks taken from our show at Le Café de la Danse, Paris, 11-10-2010 and a house show in Paris also, 01-22-2010.
Recorded live, with our trustworthy Zoom recorder, and the precious help of Patrick's huge live sound.
Chosen, cut, mixed (but not too much) and mastered by Antoine at Mobilison.
Thanks to le Periscope for the whole tour, Volvox Music for releasing "There's no Place like Homes", Patrick and Julien for making our live sound in the most incredible places and to you all for your support and fidelity.
There's no place like homes
blog // December 02nd 2010 by Simon.
A little more than a year ago, we finished recording our album "There's no place like homes" at Le Studio de la Frette. We never took the time to upload the beautiful pictures taken by Aurélie. Now it's done!

On a more virtual note, we just redesigned our website to make it look more like the blog we want it to be. We will use it in the following months to tell you about the writing and recording of our next album. And since we find fun in that kind of thing, we also designed a mobile version of the site. Don't hesitate to send us your feedback if you're using an iPhone, a Blackberry, or anything that runs Android.
Love,
Exsonvaldes.
PS : for those who missed the previous updates: a short video from our trip in Sevilla this summer and a few
videos from the studio.
