about

In 1906, just three years after Marie and Pierre Curie were awarded a Nobel Prize for their work, Pierre was crossing the street in Paris on a rainy day and was struck by a horse-drawn carriage. He was killed instantly. Marie was inconsolable.

lyrics

I’ll repeat your name again and always:
Pierre, Pierre, Pierre, my Pierre
You are gone and I am left with
Desolation and despair

Tender friend with whom I planned to spend
The rest of the years of my life
Now I’ll never hold your artistic hands
Never gaze in your luminous eyes

My dear Pierre, the work that we shared
Our purpose, our vision, our home
Never thought I’d have to go on without you
How can I continue alone?

Eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb

Ma petite cherie, you can still find me
In the trees and the fields and the sky
Cast your sad eyes to the lily pond
My reflection is there by your side

I am all around you in the flowering broom
And the calls of the crickets and frogs
All are carried away by the wind
That caresses, then it is gone

Eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb

Let us explore the forces of nature
Making a light in the dark

Now it's only me in our laboratory
In the silence of this half life
Awake until late while you sleep your last sleep
What are you dreaming this time?

Make life a dream, and make the dream real
And share with the world what it is
We are gathering shells with a hole in our pocket
We cannot hold onto such bliss

Eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb

Stay with me for the rest of our days dear
Nothing will tear us apart

Eat drink sleep be
Idle love and touch
The sweetest things
Of life but not succumb

Charming Disaster Brooklyn, New York

Charming Disaster is a goth-folk duo based in Brooklyn, NY, formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, and the occult. ... more
