The Well
Born in Ecuador, arranged in Burkina Faso, recorded in Turkey by Thomas Vittek, mixed in France by Nicolas Nieto, soundtracking Senegalese novel Les Pangolins de Dakar and filmed with Algerian director Amira Géhanne Khalfallah and Dilek Tuncel, "The Well" is truly a backpacking project !
When the tide gets low and you have no home
When the moon is no longer yours
As you cower in your shell
Thinking there’s no safer place
Take a bow and give yourself a rest
When the stroll is done and there’s no way out
When your hood is soaked up with rain
As you stagger through the field
She will wrap you with her leaves
Like an oak unraveling its shade.
As you lay down in her shed, she’ll be like a holding hand
And this milk she longs to share has a taste of soil and earth
As you sink into her breath, she juste takes back what she gave
And from this place… will rise a well
When the wounds get sore and the crows are loud
When your scream is not to be heard
If you’re standing right and proud
Though the whole battle is lost
May your crown keep floating through the waves
