about

About the song:
C'est Fragiles >Turning is two song suite with a conjoining riff theme, composed to fit the songs together like the Grateful Dead's "China > Rider". These two songs are seldom played separately in live performances and is typically placed as a set one opener.

"Fragiles" (aka- C'est Fragiles) was written with haiku imagery and the central theme that life is a fragile journey of mind, matter, and imagination. After all, This life is fragile!

"Turning", is comprised of two short stories of how a woman & man separately met their perilous ends. The female character drives off a treacherous mountain road pass in the midst of a thunderstorm. While, The outlaw meets his end by taking a bullet from the law. Now, they are both pushing up daisies all around. Vaya con dios, my old friends!

lyrics

Lyrics:
I’ve been searching… I’ve been wondering way too long!
Yes, I’ve been thinking… What’s the meaning to this all?
C’est Fragiles… But, I’m solid to the core!

A Sleep walkin’ sailor… Treading water over waves!
A Bird of passage… Flying blindly through your caves!
These floating clouds… They have given me my name!
C’est Fragiles!

She came down from the mountain top, with a head full of lightning.
She won’t stop!
She was turning, now she was dead on the spot, when she was turning.
She was turning… Turning around!
And now six feet… Under the ground.
Now, she was pushin’ up those daisies all around us all.
Vaya con Dios my old friend!

Having fun & making hay. He was on the run from the law they say.
Had a mark, it was plain as day, when he was turning.
He was turning… Turning around!
That’s when they shot him… They shot him down.
Now, he’s pushin’ up them daisies all around us all.
Vaya con Dios my old friend!
