Rating: Sitting by the sea, oblivious to the waves soaking your clothes, closing your eyes, listening to the roar of the crashing waves on the rocks "Last Secret Of The Sea" "Granules of salt on your skin, wide open skies. Listen! The waves flap their wings, ghost ships and tides. I’ll dive to find your treasure to keep it safe with me. Love, our pleasure, the last secret of the sea…”
A romantic album "Nothing So Bad", very beautiful to listen to, a pleasant fusion of pop sound with splashes of cool jazz, without distorting its nature.
The soft voice, the warmth of the brass instruments, the melody of the violins, the rhythms of the double bass, and the notes of the piano "(Damn These) Hungry Times", practically create a concentration almost "strictly reserved for small pubs", but not necessarily vital for Cousteau, since they also love large events and tides of audiences (especially Italian, to the point of dedicating the translation of the lyrics in the "musical booklet"). Liam’s captivating, skillful, and simple voice avoids confusion and lets itself be carried away by the icy waters of a deep ocean "Peculiarly You" and Davey's lyrics (unrepeatable) are imbued with sweet passion for pleasing palates "Please Don't Cry".
The oceanographer Jacques Cousteau inspired their name, a lover of dolphins and a dreamer of those "Sirens" that enchanted Ulysses, and our musician storytellers of captivating music. The sea... when asked to Liam "what does the sea represent and symbolize for you?" the answer was, "I believe the sea represents a good part of every human being’s life, indeed, life itself. The siren for me is a true obsession (I even got her tattooed on my arm). What attracts me is not the mystery of the siren or the mythological aspect, but the siren as a search, sometimes futile, for love."
This album is an underwater world, a means of communication between image and metaphor, the enchanting call of the sirens will always numb the minds of great navigators. Once again, we are faced with a union and feeling between "aquatic" nature and music.
Every man is a prisoner of his own desires…
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Talking to Myself (03:45)
It beggars belief that she was a child once
With her heart on her sleeve, once in a while you're
Looking straight at it, and you could swear that
It's never there
Well I don'tk now why, but we're so shameless
That's no surprise, although nobody's blameless
You just gotta have it, just to know it
And set it on fire
Four o'clock in the morning
The lights are on and I'm talk, talk
Talking to myself
This love's a certain omen, I'll warn you
When everything colludes to adore you
You're diving deeper into the water
The water, yeah into the water, yeah.
Six o'clock in the morning
The lights are on and I'm talk, talk
Talking to myself
Now that's a disgrace, we laugh like a car wreck
Well that's never safe with these lifelike characters
Hungry and willing and homeless and helpless
And all in my head, yeah
Nine o'clock in the evening
The lights are off and I'm plead, plead
Pleading with myself...
06 Please Don't Cry (04:43)
You bite your lip and kinda frown
You lost the plot, the time, all kind of stormy
I see it coming, cross your brow
See the rain come raging down before me
Please don't cry
Please don't you cry
I look around to catch your eye
Fool around so gormless it's not funny
Wipe away the storms, my child
If I could, I would, I should, I'm sorry
Please don't cry
Please don't you cry
