DESCRIPTION:
Vanessa Daou + brokenkites haunting collaboration 'Leaving Paris' OUT NOW on iTunes http://apple.co/1NbNgSA and at all fine digital retail outlets.

Inspired by acclaimed Poet/Novelist Collin Kelley’s novel ‘Leaving Paris’ (Part Three of ‘The Venus Trilogy’), the meditative torch-song conveys a sense of longing and romantic nostalgia for the eternal City of Lights. Daou’s bare lithe vocals and intimate poetic lyrics hover seductively over Brokenkites ambient electronic textures which coalesce into a delicate melodic epiphany that’s both hedonistic and transcendent.

LEAVING PARIS

I'm leaving Paris
Once again
With my bag half-packed
No turning back
My goodbye penned
I'm pressing 'Send'

How many ways
Can a story be told?

Truth is bought
And sold

I'm leaving Paris
For the third time
The future's mine

I'm sipping Chablis
You without me
Delayed at Orly
With my heart in hand
With this hurt unplanned

We're taking off now
I'm remembering
Your smile
The way you beguile
The reason escapes me why
I'm leaving Paris
For a third time
The future's mine

How many ways
Can a story be told?

So I'm leaving Paris
I hear the sound of my feet
Down the stairs to the street
Where the taxi is waiting
And the melancholy rain
Is synchronized with the pain

And the sound of my heart
Beating in the dark
And everything that was
And everything that will be
And the rhythm of this song
Moving me along
Everything I've done
All I didn't do
And the words
I never said to you
All the words
I never said to you

I'm leaving Paris
