They choose a path of intense playing and create a strong live-reputation in the Belgian underground. This results in three concerts at Belgium’s most famous concerthall, Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. Dez Mona becomes the first band ever to do this without having published any album. Acclaimed by critics and fans, Dez Mona records its first album Pursued Sinners in a church. It is a live duo album with the occasional collaboration of trumpetplayer Sam Vloemans and accordionplayer Roel Van Camp. Nicolas and Gregory continue performing and writing new material where they choose for larger arrangments and more percussive power.
When recording the new album Moments of Dejection or Despondency Dez Mona transforms itself from a duo into a quintet. From the jazz barricades Steven Cassiers and Bram Weijters join the band on drums and piano. First partner in crime Roel Van Camp simply can’t be missed and fulfills the new Dez Mona. As a phoenix the quintet will once again set a new personal standard in live performing. Nevertheless Gregory and Nicolas keep on doing smaller, but not less intensive duo performances. Their belief in the live moment where dejection and despondency are turned into hope will never vanish.

No one's love could come to me
I live a live without mistakes
No true love could come to me
You said I ran from our love
But that's not how it appears to me
After all these years
In the end
Suspicous baby
Not me
I've tied a bell around my love
Straight for the sake of decensy
For a live full of nothing but dears
I've held this end in my hands
ANd kept them close
But itslipt away
Suspicous baby
Not me
It won't
Suspicion baby
Suspicon
Not me
See in you
Would be too much like love
And love is somewhere there
Behind the walls
Where my heart escapes
In a place where it's bound to fall apart
My heart escapes
In a place where it's bound to tumble down
And straigth into
Suspicion baby
Not me
It won't
Suspicion baby
Suspicion kissed you
Not me
All my heart escapes
In a place where it's bound to fall apart
My heart escapes
In a place where it's bound to tumble down
Oh straigth into
Suspicion baby
Not me
Suspicion kissed you
Not me
It won't
Suspicion baby
Suspicion
Not me
The lyrics to Dez Mona's song "Suspicion" are about someone who is guarded and suspicious, believing that love is not meant for them. They have tried to protect themselves by living a safe and mistake-free life, but they ultimately feel trapped and unable to love freely. The line "I've tied a bell around my love, straight for the sake of decency" suggests that the singer is deliberately suppressing their emotions in order to maintain an outward appearance of propriety. They acknowledge that their behavior may be seen as suspicious, but they insist that it is not because they are hiding anything or running away from love. Rather, they are simply afraid of being hurt and cannot bring themselves to fully trust another person.
The repeated refrain of "Suspicion baby, not me" emphasizes the singer's reluctance to let others in and their belief that they are not the problem. They see suspicion as something that has been imposed on them by external forces, rather than something that arises from within. The line "see in you would be too much like love" suggests that the singer is afraid of opening up to someone else because it would mean confronting their own capacity for love and vulnerability. The song ends on a note of resignation, with the singer acknowledging that their heart is likely to continue to fall apart and tumble down.
Overall, "Suspicion" is a poignant exploration of the fear and insecurity that can prevent us from fully opening ourselves up to love. It suggests that sometimes, even when we want to believe that we are capable of love, our past experiences and anxieties can create a self-perpetuating cycle of suspicion and disconnection.
Line by Line Meaning
I've gone sitting myself so plane
I have become plain and unremarkable
No one's love could come to me
I have closed myself off to love
I live a live without mistakes
I am living a life free of risk and vulnerability
No true love could come to me
I believe that I am not worthy of receiving someone's genuine love
You said I ran from our love
You accused me of avoiding our love
But that's not how it appears to me
My perspective differs from yours
After all these years
Despite the passage of time
In the end
Ultimately
I wander blind around
I am aimlessly wandering without direction or purpose
Suspicous baby
I am cautious and untrusting
Not me
But my actions may suggest otherwise
I've tied a bell around my love
I have attempted to keep my love in check and avoid acting on it
Straight for the sake of decensy
In order to maintain an appropriate level of decorum
For a live full of nothing but dears
In order to avoid being hurt or disappointed
I've held this end in my hands
I have been in control of my emotions and actions
And kept them close
I have tried to keep my emotions contained
But itslipt away
But eventually, my emotions may get the best of me
It won't
But I will not let that happen
See in you
I may recognize similar qualities in you
Would be too much like love
But acknowledging those qualities would leave me vulnerable to falling in love
And love is somewhere there
Love may exist, but it is not something I am willing to pursue
Behind the walls
Hidden away from view
Where my heart escapes
Where I allow myself to feel something
In a place where it's bound to fall apart
But I fear that allowing myself to feel will only lead to getting hurt
My heart escapes
But my emotions may become uncontrollable
In a place where it's bound to tumble down
And it may all come crashing down
Suspicion baby
My distrust and caution remain
Suspicion kissed you
My distrust and caution may have impacted our relationship
It won't
But I will continue to try to keep those feelings at bay
Suspicion
My trust issues are still present
Not me
But I hope to overcome them someday

I've considered myself so plain
No honest love could come to me
I live a life without mistakes
No true love could come to me
You said I ran from our love
But that's not how it appears to me
After all these years in the end
I've wandered blind around your heart
Suspicious baby
Not me
I've tied a bell around my love
Straight for the sake of decency
For a life full of nothing but tears
I've held the sun in my hands
And kept them close but it slipped away
Suspicious baby
Not me
It was suspicion baby
Suspicion not me
Seeing you would be too much like life
And lie somewhere in behind the walls
Where my heart is sketched in a place
Where it's bound to fall apart
My heart is sketched in a place where it's bound to tumble down
Straight into
Suspicion baby
Not me
It was suspicion baby
Suspicion kissed you not me
Oh my heart is sketched in a place where it's bound to fall apart
My heart is sketched in a place where it's bound to tumble down
Oh straight into suspicion baby
Suspicion kissed you not me
It was suspicion baby
Suspicion not me

Wat een lied. Een jaar of 10 geleden op Leffinge Leuren live gezien voor de eerste keer. Eindeloos mooi!

Zo vet. De zanger mag dan wel een hoge stem hebben, zijn ballen zijn in ieder geval gigantisch.
