5) Chant: alternative rock band from California

6) Chant: jazz/rock/avantgarde trio from Milan, Italy.
Bio: Chant is a trio born in 1999 from an idea of drummer Cristiano Calcanile.
Until 2007, Chant performed as an acoustic trio, releasing an album in 2003 for the Italian label "Caligola" that was enthusiastically received by critics for the strong interplay of the players and the original blend of compositional elements and free improvisation.
In 2007, during the recording of their second album, the trio felt a strong need to rethink their musical working method, and thus the decision of enrich their instrumental and compositional palette. That necessity brought the inclusion of electric and electronic (electric bass and synthesizers) and acoustic instruments (harpsichord, pipe organ, clavichord and harmonium) as well as the use of the recording studio "as an instrument" (a feature that is usually atypical in the improvised music field). This process consisted in one year dedicated to the pre-production of the new material, and a new, longer recording session during Summer 2008 in Finland.

This music is the result of our personal research between composition and improvisation, but with a strong intention of leaving the interplay and the simple joy of playing together intact.

Thyme
Chant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just one time
I'd like to know you
And the way
It is you feel
In the night
I'll whisper, "I love you dear"
Then you'll know
What is real

Just some thyme
To the soup
Do you like
I do
Those two words
That tickle your ear
See them grow
Passing through
All the years

Just one time
I'd like like to show you
Just the way
It is I feel
In the night
I'll whisper, "I love you dear"

When I do
I do with you

Just one time
I wish to do something just once

I'd like to know you
I want to understand you

And the way
How you express yourself

It is you feel
Your emotional state

In the night
At nighttime

I'll whisper, "I love you dear"
Express my affection for you secretly

Then you'll know
You will realize

What is real
Authentic and true love

Just some thyme
A small seasoning

To the soup
Added to the dish

Do you like
Do you enjoy
