Their music features minimalistic sounds and driving beats combined with various organic instrumentation - from autoharps and ukuleles to harpsichords and dulcimers. Seyrat's breathy, soft, French-accented vocals combine hauntingly with Driscoll's in both English and French.
Their single Earthquake was released out in 2012 via their own label Caveman Arts Society.
Corde sensible
Freedom Fry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il n’y a que toi dis-moi
Gilet par balle
De la pierre au métal
Tu perces, transperces
Mon mur, ma forteresse
En guerre, à terre
C’est irréversible
Tu touches ma corde sensible
Inévitablement imprévisible
Tu m’as prise pour cible
Mais t’es ma corde sensible
Intangible, insensé, impossible
Citron acide
Glucide en stéroïde
Tu piques, tu brules
Et moi je capitule
Sans foi, ni loi
Tu gardes ton sang froid
De mieux en pire
Je subis sans rien dire
C’est irréversible
Tu touches ma corde sensible
Inévitablement imprévisible
Tu m’as prise pour cible
Mais t’es ma corde sensible
Intangible, insensé, impossible
C’est irréversible
Tu touches ma corde sensible
Inévitablement imprévisible
Tu m’as prise pour cible
Mais t’es ma corde sensible
Intangible, insensé, impossible
Oh, et vibre et vibre de chaque fibre
Oh, et tremble et tremble quand on est ensemble
Oh
Irréversible
Tu touches ma corde sensible
Inévitablement imprévisible
Tu m’as prise pour cible
Mais t’es ma corde sensible
Intangible, insensé, impossible
C’est irréversible
Tu touches ma corde sensible
Inévitablement imprévisible
Tu m’as prise pour cible
Mais t’es ma corde sensible
Intangible, insensé, impossible
In "Corde sensible," Freedom Fry explores the theme of vulnerability and the power someone can have over our emotions. The lyrics reflect the singer's struggle to resist a certain person who has the ability to penetrate their defenses and affect them deeply. The lyrics use imagery to describe this impact, comparing it to piercing through walls and fortresses. Despite being aware of the destructive effect this person has on them, the singer seems unable to resist their influence.
The chorus emphasizes the irreversibility of this situation, highlighting the inability to control or escape the emotional connection. The phrase "tu touches ma corde sensible" (you touch my sensitive chord) represents the person's ability to strike a deep emotional chord within the singer, making them feel exposed and vulnerable. The lyrics also explore the conflicting nature of this connection, describing it as unpredictable, intangible, and impossible.

Best lyrics that I could come up with :
Pourquoi, Pourquoi, il n'y a que toi dis-moi,
Gilet par balle, de .. en métal,
Tu perces, transperces, mon mur ma forteresse,
En guerre, a terre et moi je te laisse faire
C'est irréversible, tu touches ma corde sensible, inévitablement imprévisible,
Tu m'as prise pour cible, telle ma corde sensible, intangible insensée impossible,
Citron, assis, de silence héroïque,
Tu piques, tu brules et moi je capitule,
Sans foi, ni loi, tu gardes ton sang froid,
De mieux en pire je subis sans rien dire,
C'est irréversible tu touches ma corde sensible inévitablement imprévisible,
Tu m'as prise pour cible, telle ma corde sensible, intangible insensée impossible,
C'est irréversible tu touches ma corde sensible inévitablement imprévisible,
Tu m'as prise pour cible, telle ma corde sensible intangible insensée impossible,
Et vibre et vibre de chaque fibre,
Et tremble et tremble quand on est ensemble
Irréversible tu touches ma corde sensible inévitablement imprévisible,
Tu m'as prise pour cible mais telle ma corde sensible intangible insensée impossible,
C'est irréversible tu touches ma corde sensible inévitablement imprévisible
Tu m'as prise pour cible telle ma corde sensible, et telle ma corde sensible, et telle ma corde sensible

1:42 I like the Guitar/Keyboard minor contrast sequence. Gives the song that "Freedom Fry" feel. Keep it up!
Joseph Dungee
@Freedom Fry Thanks. Maybe you guyz will consider a remix with more bass and repeat looping, repeating of phrases....would be Phat!
