Detailed biographies:
1) Lament is a Christian death metal band from Mexico City, Mexico. They are, like all of us, a work in progress. Christianity is evident in not only the band's ministry but the lives of each member. The members of Lament claim Jesus Christ as their Savior. The Lament sound is not exactly Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, or even Heavy Metal. Lament is a Christian Death Metal band. They sound like other Death Metal bands to an extent. But, Lament has a unique style all their own. They blend elements of their Mexican heritage throughout their music like a rich Metal tapestry that can comfort you with a mother's love and cut you like the jagged edge of a rusty blade. Lament's discography includes: Breathless, Through The Reflection and Tears Of A Leper.
3) Lament is a band from the UK, playing a fusion of Latin, jazz and flamenco. They cross boundaries mixing up gypsy and latin rhythms refusing to be labelled as any particular genre blending jazz, ethnic groove and flamenco styles all underscoring memorable and original melodic songs tinged with lyrical melancholy but always managing to come out joyous and life affirming. You cannot resist the overlaying of countless rhythms and quality acoustic musicianship.
Embracing world sounds but steadfastly rooted in their UK urban setting Lament have been seducing audiences who want more than just latin rhythms. You can dance, you can listen but you will be enticed and bewitched by their passionate and exhilarating performances and leave dancing with their infectious melodies whizzing round your head. Their grooves are spiced with Arabic, rumba, Cuban, jazz and brazilian bossa nova flavours with English words that talk of longing and loss.
Fronted by Kath Kimber, this 5 piece have to be seen live to marvel at the energy and performances of incredible improv and freestyling. The band have spent the last year tirelessly touring to nail their sound and to promote their album.
Lament released their second studio album in 2007 This Ain’t Rio and sales are so successful that the album is now in its second print run. They are now working on a follow up to be released in 2009 aswell as embarking on a tour of Art Centres and planning a festival programme for 2009.

Lament Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like a cat in a bag
But I want to put out to sea!
might be the last chance before this tragedy ends...
I want to cut what reminds on past!
[...kneedeep in water:]
someone shouts from behind!
might be the last chance before this tragedy ends...
she says: "Don't cut what reminds on past!"
- We drowned not for real
- We just paddled in the sand,
tried everything to leave this place
for now: take a look at where we thought the sun would shine...
WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME!
...to wave our hands to the sinking ship of fools
...AND WE'RE FEELING ALRIGHT!
(cause we got what they still try to find far behind the sea! YEAH!)
...paddles and sail...?! for sunshade!!!
ocean's breeze till it gets late...
!!!No lonely cloud at beauty sky!!!
...cannot hide our endless smile!
- We drown not for real
- We dance in the sand,
enjoy the moments together we spend
this is the place where our sun always shines
WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME!
...to wave our hands to the sinking ship of fools
...AND WE'RE FEELING ALRIGHT!
(cause we got what they still try to find far behind the sea! YEAH!)
Just a short time...
please don't cry
soon back on your side
The song "Time Off" by Lament starts with the singer waiting by the ocean, wanting to leave and not wanting to be reminded of the past. Someone shouts from behind and tells the singer not to cut off what reminds them of the past. The sense of the singer's days cries like a drowned sailors wife, possibly referring to feeling overwhelmed and lost. The lyrics shift to the idea that they tried everything to leave their current place, and now they have enough time to enjoy their surroundings. They wave their hands to the sinking ship of fools, feeling alright because they have what others are still searching for far behind the sea. The song concludes with an assurance that they will soon be back on the listener's side.
This song seems to be about escapism and the desire to leave behind memories of the past. The ocean may represent a new beginning, and the sinking ship of fools may represent those who cannot or will not escape their current situation. The singer is enjoying the present and is content with where they are in life, saying that they have enough time to feel good about their situation. The lyrics are uplifting and provide a sense of hope for the listener, encouraging them to enjoy the present and not to dwell on the past.
