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 ↴
And everyone around you very fast to forget that you
actually have no clue of what's going on.
Furthermore you talk about dusty tales of well known clowns,
stories about thieves of sound, I DON'T CARE!
because:
I don't want to be another
I will lay it on the line, I've wasted far too long my...
...time is running out!!!...and you don't care.
Every try to calm me down will fail...
I break with you!
I'll never walk in your boots!
because:
I don't want to be another
so...
TAKE YOUR WRONG TONES
OUT OF ME!
The lyrics of Lament's song "ABC" are highly critical of someone who the singer perceives as fake or disingenuous. The singer begins by expressing their desire to distance themselves from this person, who they suggest is trying to impose their own ideas on others while remaining oblivious to what's actually happening around them. The singer is highly skeptical of this person's ability to understand the world and suggests that their stories are just "dusty tales of well-known clowns" or "stories about thieves of sound" - in other words, meaningless or outdated narratives that are divorced from reality.
The chorus of the song is a powerful statement of defiance and independence. The singer makes it clear that they do not want to be "another" person who blindly follows this fake individual's lead. As such, they are willing to break with this person entirely, even if it means walking away from what may have been a close or important relationship. The singer is determined to assert their own identity and perspective, even if it means rejecting the ideas that this person represents.
Overall, the lyrics of "ABC" can be read as a warning against conformity and complacency. The singer suggests that it is important to think critically and independently about the world, rather than simply accepting the ideas of those around us. By breaking away from this fake or disingenuous person, the singer is asserting their own agency and resisting the pressure to conform to someone else's vision of reality.

A" is for the apple that he gave to me
But I found a worm inside
"B" is for beloved that I called to him
Before he left my side
And "C," see what he did, that's "D"
Did it to poor old me
How could I be such an "E"motional fool? ("F")
"G" is for the gentleman I thought he was
When he first said 'hi'
"H" "I"
"J" is for the joker that is Jimmy B
The man who made me cry (that's a "C")
And "K," well, you know it's just not okay
To kiss and then run away
Leaving alone without leaving a letter for "L"angtree
"M" is for the misery he left me in
"N"ever to return again
"O" what a poor ("P") fool I've been
"Q"ueueing in line for him
And "R," are you the one for me?
Yes, "S"ay you'll come back to me
Why are you tempted to "T"ease me?
Oh
You, "Y," not "U" have got to understand
The value of a woman's heart ("V")
Why "W," not "Y" did you think it was fine
To "X" me from the start?
And why, yes, "Y," is the question that's on my mind
Oh, why?
Why did you leave me right before reaching our "Z"enith?
Oh
1 is the number of men I've loved
And 2 is the times I'll say it's you (it's you)
3 is the number of days you've been gone
But it feels like 4 times two
8 at the hour the sun goes down
I remember life with you around
I wish I had nine lives like that one
Oh

A" is for the apple that he gave to me,
But I found a worm inside.
"B" is for beloved that I call to him before he left my side.
And “C”, see what he did, that’s “D”,
Did it to poor ol’ me.
How could I be such an “E”motional fool? ("F").
"G" is for the gentlemen I thought he was
When he first said hi,
"H" "I".
"J" is for the joker that is Jimmy B., the man who made me cry,
That’s a "C".
And “K”,
Well, you know it’s just not okay
To kiss and then run away,
Leaving alone without leaving a letter for “L”angtree.
"M" is for the misery he left me in,
"N"ever to return again.
"O" what a poor ("P") fool I’ve been, "Q"ueuing in line for him.
And “R”, are you the one for me?
Yes, “S”ay you’ll come back to me...
Why are you tempted to “T”ease me? Ohh...
You, "Y" not "U", have got to "U"nderstand,
The value of a woman’s heart ("V").
Why, “W” not “Y”, did you think it was fine to “X” me from the start?
And “Y”, yes “Y”,
Is the question that’s on my mind.
Oh why,

the singer/voice actor of mrs. langtree is a friend of a friend of my mom’s! we stayed with her on a trip once when we couldn’t find a hotel. she is the sweetest, most interesting woman ever. she has a book of over the garden wall art and we looked through it, which was what prompted me to watch the show and now it’s one of my favorites.
she told me she originally auditioned to play the bird but she took the bird part a bit too far and was a little too tweet-y so they gave her mrs. langtree instead! just a fun bit of trivia!
@agenteswabbie
Wow,thanks for telling us
@leef9874
woah my name is wren too!!
@-Commit-arson-
Cheated out of being a bird by being too much like a bird
@emopeterparker7
she wouldve made a fine beatrice but i love her role nonetheless! shes perfect for this
@lordtachanka903
I’d love to see that book, I wonder if it’s possible for it to be published, if you see her again you should show her all the comments and tell her that I love her voice, she’s an amazing singer, she should have a music career making stuff like this IMO
@KlingonCaptain
Arguably the best song in the entire show.
