Artist Bio:

We like to define ourselves as “acoustic folk-rock with a Celtic-Pan-European edge, that’s not afraid of coloring a bit outside of the lines”. The webzine Widdershins once wrote about us "they are not as punk as The Pogues, but they have a bit of that attitude, and it gives them an edge many folk groups lack", which we think is a good summary. Other recurring comparisons are Ambrozijn, The Chieftains, the old Clannad, Les Ogres de Barback and Jaune Toujours.

Like many folkbands, we started with (and still enjoy) the "Drunken Danny rover of the County Down in the jar", but we have built our own distinctive sound: Celtic, Flanders, Scandinavia, Balkan, Mitteleuropa, Klezmer, blues, medieval, singer-songwriter, French chanson, we take whatever we fancy, put it in our cauldron and whoever complains it's not bloody "orthodox" or poxy "as it should be" gets a smack bottom...

Our fourth album "la vie sent quoi?" is now available on our official website (http://www.ceilimoss.be), where you'll also find a lot more info about our gigs, releases and other news.

Lyrics:	Click To View Or Hide Song Lyrics
Le jour où t’es partie, j’ai bien cru que j’allais Passer les dix ou quinze prochaines années à pleurer Perdre mon boulot pour sombrer dans la misère Et finir en clodo à la soupe populaire J’en suis le premier surpris mais voila La vie sans toi c’est pas si dur que ça Je m’y suis facilement adapté Je me suis même remis à écrire et à chanter Quand tu m’as laissé choir comme une vieille crasse J’ai foncé chez un psy pour limiter la casse A la fin d’la séance, il m’a dit « cher monsieur Vous n’avez plus b’soin d’moi, vous allez déjà mieux » Je n’en reviens toujours pas de me voir Emerger aussi vite de ce brouillard Tellement acide qu’il m’a presque rongé Dans lequel tu m’avais profondément plongé C’est du vinaigre qui coule dans tes veines de cuir T’avais pas ton pareil pour me faire me sentir Plus minable qu’un ver, plus con qu’un plat de nouilles Et moi j’en redemandais comme un crétin sans *** Aujourd’hui vive la liberté, les amis et le bonheur La légèreté et le plaisir le beau temps et les jolies fleurs Le jour où t’es partie, tu m’as rendu service Mais chuis pas rancunier, moi je n’ai pas ce vice Si par hasard un jour tu perdais ton boulot J'te ferai une recommandation pour Guantanamo J’en suis le premier surpris mais voila La vie sans toi c’est pas si dur que ça Je m’y suis facilement adapté Je me suis même remis à écrire et à chanter.

All you people, can't you see What is tied can never be free The more you talk of liberty The less you've got it, plain to see So you console yourself With the pain of someone else But it's as clear as the sky What is wrong can never be right You know there's something wrong But, no matter, you carry on You suspect there's a trick But the fog, it seems too thick You're as blind as a mole Disinformation takes hold But it's as bright as the sun What is lost can rarely be found It's okay to be afraid Fear can be your only friend It's normal to lose control As long as you don't sell your soul All you people, maybe Will throw all this rubbish away Tear off the blindfold carried From the cradle to the grave Let your mind be your own Don't give a damn if they frown For it's as easy as a song Once your brains are no longer bound

Lyrics:	Click To View Or Hide Song Lyrics
As I went out to see my old love one more time, I thought again Of all the times we had to talk about our deeds, but we failed I've given most of my time to a job and to mundanities And now, it's late, I fear, I'm slowly decaying by degrees ref. And according to what I see, there is no sense There is not much to say, there is no evidence That life ain't no wasteland of broken down dreams As far as the eye can see We had such high hopes and we had money to spend There was a world to gain, just there around the bend There were fields of gold, valleys of milk and honey As far as the eye can see So day by day, our blood, our bones, our strength, our belief, our faith in God Gets slowly deconstructed, eroded, and turns into mud It's not that we decide to give up faith and courage all the way It's just that points of view get blurred a little more day by day ref. Think about all those who died for no reason Would you still say it's a wonderful life? If there is one thing to say about mankind There is nothing kind about man Oh Lord, protect from those who bark your name They're the most likely to kill me someday I don't believe you go to Heaven when you're good Everything goes to Hell anyway ref. So now I guess i'd better remain silent, I'm gone anyway But please beware of your dreams, they will make your hair turn to grey

Lyrics:	Click To View Or Hide Song Lyrics
It's so nice to see you again See you again in that pretty blue gown It's so nice to feel you again To hear the voice that was so well known ref. Oh, what a feeling Waiting for her 'til she's coming Believing in her and she believes in you And you know that it's true And you know it's for real I've been sad in too many ways Now is the time to rejoice and to smile I found out that most of your days It is mainly up to you to decide ref. I know that my story's not new In fact, it is such a damn common thing I am pretty sorry if you Find it annoying, but I can't help singing All my life, I'll live to tell All the stories I know well Of life, love, friendships and beers Of liberty, joys and sometimes of tears La-di-da... And you know that it's true and you know it's for real And you know how it feels to be inside a heart Tell me, my love, are you still in the mood You were in when I left and threw us in the gloom? ref. I claim in front of the world and the stars That I will always be faithful and not denied Tell me my love, are you ready to have A lover by your side who will keep you safe? ref.
