La Dupe de la Lumière

is the first single release by the new Berlin-based formation TenMenOut – a track in which the five members of the four-man trio with roots in Port Louis, Riga and Berlin fuse a disco groove with Hawaiian sounds and Tuareg guitars into an irresistibly driving unit. Performed and arranged by Al Grae, W.D.A. Hoffmann and Carsten L. Bergmann. The band TenMenOut also unites for the first time their compositional talents, from which other national and international acts could already benefit.

La nuit – Le temps – La force – Combat – La dupe – La lumière
La dupe de la lumière…
Quand tu tourneras la roue de la nuit, sois gentil avec la lumière
La dupe de la lumière…
Ça te donne le temps de rester, ça pourrait t’aider sur ton chemin
La dupe de la lumière…
La nuit…
Ça t’aide à passer la nuit, ça aide de gagner ton combat
Le temps – La roue
Ne crois que la lumière autour de toi
Je tourne en rond, je tourne en rond autour et autour…

 

Composed by TenMenOut, lyrics by Al Grae

REAL SURREALISM

“Real Surrealism” – this is how one could describe the style of TenMenOut‘s lyrics, in which defamiliarized quotes out of the pop history play just as important a role as unconventional personal and social reflections. Besides Luis Buñuel, Marina Abramović and Man Ray, the American author Hubert Selby Jr. is one of the artists who have inspired TenMenOut the deepest. In memory of this contemporary of the legendary Beat Generation, a tribute to him appears on the multilingual TenMenOut album “all in“.

La nuit – Le temps – La force – Combat – La dupe – La lumière
La dupe de la lumière…
Quand tu tourneras la roue de la nuit, sois gentil avec la lumière
La dupe de la lumière…
Ça te donne le temps de rester, ça pourrait t’aider sur ton chemin
La dupe de la lumière…
La nuit…
Ça t’aide à passer la nuit, ça aide de gagner ton combat
Le temps – La roue
Ne crois que la lumière autour de toi
Je tourne en rond, je tourne en rond autour et autour…
