lost in paris

I spent 4-5 hrs getting deliberately lost in Paris last night. I wrote a song as i walked, people must have thought i was nuts singing to myself and scribbling in my notebook. I transcribed it all on to my laptop today and will edit it later. I am in the office of my booking agent and have stolen the keys so i can come back in here late tonight to sing very loudly and work it out. I think i will do it with just voice.

I cannot eat anymore cheese. I have reached the outer limits cheese of tolerance.

I jammed with a guitarist Nico le King today and might do some shows with him playing guitar with me when i come back here.   http://www.myspace.com/nicolegroupe   I spoke to my agent here and asked that when i come back i can do a series of shows with no pa, completely acoustic apart from an amplifier for the guitar. I love shows like this.  They are real and there is no barrier or falseness with the microphone.  it is primal.

right…i’m going to go eat some broccoli

    That sounds like quite possibly the best night ever.

    And broccoli, mmmmmmmm. If I knew what a drool smiley looked like I’d put one here.

  2. Hello Declan, I Discoverd your music, your lyrics and elle the “emotion” around some months ago…I went to see Aaron in the “theatre des bouffes du nord” with my friends, and I “falled” when I heard your music (I dont know how to say that, in fact it means that i loooooved that!!!!!)
    The album “song of a thousand birds” can’t be the only one!please telle me that there is another…or that another one is “under preparation”?!
    I hope there will be a lot of shows in Paris (or maybe in Dublin when I go there for holidays!)
    I often got lost in Paris, but just to take pictures (or sometimes just because I don t recognise my right from my left….)? this town is beautiful and some places are just full of things and feelings that a lot of people can’t feel…I think you can ;)
    (Sorry for my english)
    I just wish you the best!
    bye
    Kytel
