Raven’s Jig – Better
This is our most recent collaboration with Seventh Element to date, an arrange of his composition Better, featuring powerful drums by Vincent Ramaekers. We decided to keep this version off vocal so as not to compromise the instruments, and because, quite simply, we were not sure how to go about it… Fun fact number one: …

Raven’s Jig – El Niño (Chorando Se Foi, Lambada, on-vocal)
Now this is a song everyone has probably heard once, whether you knew the title or not.

Raven’s Jig – A Time for Us (on-vocal)
Fun fact : Agathe almost cried while singing the vocal arrange of this song. Our arrange of 1968 Romeo and Juliet’s A Time For Us, by Nino Rota, speaks not of love, but of the gap between a normal, peaceful life and a life full of adventure but also danger and a sense of deep …

Raven’s Jig – Ravens in Paradise
Released in the peaceful days between late spring and early summer, this song was intended to sound as sunny as bright blue skies. Much like someone would rely on classical music or golden oldies to relax, we decided to bring our own, raven-marked lyrics to a classic from 50s musical Kismet, itself inspired by Borodin’s …

Raven’s Jig – Butterflies
Basically Fireflies, but organic… And during the day. The core idea behind this arrange was to replace the spacey keyboard with lyrical strings, the dark blue atmosphere with a bright green one… And why not switch languages as well to give it a more exotic aspect? Butterflies is actually much less about butterflies than it …
