Description
million days
A wistful, sun-dappled song about how longing bends time and space, in which our loved one is always there but just out of reach, on the fading horizon. Million Days takes its inspiration from Chris Marker’s seminal experimental film La Jetee, about a man who journeys into the past where he falls in love with a mysterious woman at Orly airport. When he goes back to search for her, he finds himself caught in temporal loop, both near and far at the same time, like the concentric rings in a tree trunk that they saw together in a park. Love is a game of chance, but longing makes time travellers of us all, keeping memories of the past present.

You come to life
when I stir the wheats
a passing from older times
a post war separation
have to travel in time
A telltale that fills my stomach
with chestnuts and promised times
I should have known about that terrible winter
shrunk my days to sand
I am still here counting
a million days
we will meet again
What to do but to write inner books
about pure states, blackness and rhymes
Fellini really helps me dream better
and all that can’t be transcribed
Dear companion, my sequoia
so carefully coded spiral
Without roots the past won’t follow
a parasite always makes files
I am still at the jetty
a million days
we will meet again
here at Orly Airport
hope we will meet soon
a big event is coming
mimosas are in full bloom
I am here right next to you
there is Yahtzee and there is rice
you were so worth the wait
we are like dates in sunrise
