1) Manimal is a metal band from Toulouse, France. Its members come from French bands Psykup (singer Julien Cassarino aka Ju, drummer Brice Sansonetto, guitar player David Castel aka Vidda ), Leiden (guitar player Ludovic aka Luddo), and Sailenth (bass player Fabrice).
The band defines itself as "Faith no More mixed up with Cannibal Corpse", and uses the tag "open death" to refer to their own music (more exhuberant and progressive than classical death metal).
Manimal was formed in June 2003, and shortly after recorded its first demo (available for free at manimal.org). With these first tracks at the heart of their 2004 debut album, "Eros & Thanatos", the band received good critics from the French metal community. Manimal then started its first national tour, and wrote their second album "Succube" which eventually came out fall 2005.
Both albums were recorded at the "Les Milans" Studio, in Bordeaux, which is also the studio that uses French death metal - and critically acclaimed band - Gojira.
In 2012 the band called it quit.
Trivia
Gojira mainman Joe Duplantier is featured on 'Dead Meat', a title from "Eros & Thanatos".
On the second album "Succube", each track bears a movie title. Manimal thus unveils its broadly movie-oriented inspiration.
Julien Cassarino's sister, Elodie Cassarino also lays some vocals for Manimal.

5) At the 90’s it was born at Vitória’s island, Espírito Santo, a new rhythm that mixes the local culture with the world pop music, the ROCKCONGO, created by MAHNIMAL, a band compound by brothers and lifelong friends, all according to the Congo’s tradition, a typical capixaba’s folkloric manifestation.
Since then, the band is on the road making public their differentiated sound and conquering some eminence and awards wherever they go. The first one was a jingles contest that allowed the MAHNIMAL’S first phonographical register. In July, 96, it was the occasion of winning the best arrangement’s prize at the National Music Festival, in Alegre, ES, among 360 inscriptioned songs, where MAHNIMAL showed, for the first time, the Rockongo to a big audience (about 20 thousand people), only two months later, the band was finalist of “LES DECOUVERTS DE RFI” (International Radio France) that has considered Mahnimal one of the eight best works of the Latin America and Caribe, among 440 bands of the whole world, besides has been elected the EXPO 98’s Revelation band, in Lisboa – Portugal. Transcending the country limits, Mahnimal did more than 80 presentations in 5 tours by Europe, traveling by Alemanha, Suiça, U.K, Portugal, Espain, France, Itály, Bélgium e Holand showing up on the biggest European summer festivals like the 41° MONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL (Suiça), LONDON CALLING (UK), SFINKS e POLE POLE FESTIVAL (Bélgium), EL GREC (Espain), EXPO 98 (Portugal), FESTIGAL (Galicia) Hammersmith Palais (UK) among others, besides shows in night clubs and even on the street.
With the same structure since it has appeared, ten years ago, the group is nowadays one of the most respected bands of Espírito Santo and responsible for the inclusion of the Congo’s rhythm in the pop world. Mahnimal presents the rhythm side by side with the rock, reggae , samba, ticumbi, jongo, electronic music, MPB and pop. A real musical volcano that has one foot at the modernity and another at the popular

Manimal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The hero that you wanted all along
A giant's shadow looming up the wall
But smaller now than I ever was
Oh my kindness is a lie
Wicked tongue and wicked eyes
She was shy and I was just a boy
The hollow ring of silver on the floor
Bought your company, but not your love
Here we are, my mercenary friends
We can drink and talk and play pretend
All the words that hurt you
Wear them now like armor
They will never harm or burden you again
I won't fight like a lion of the rock
But damn it if I don't give good talk
Talk, talk, talk
A cliché of a broken thing
A ruin filling up on wine and skin
Leave this city, go across the sea
Forget the ashes of my family
We are all still puppets on their strings
Truth an ever-buried, bitter thing
Talk, talk, talk
The first verse of Manimal's song "Talk" conjures a sense of introspection and the desire to be something or someone that you're not. The singer sings that they could be anyone in the light, even the hero that has always been desired. They compare themselves to a giant's shadow, but one that has now shrunk, suggesting that they may have fallen from grace or lost their previous stature. The second verse shows a stark contrast to the confident image they display. The singer admits that their kindness is a lie, and they have a wicked tongue and eyes. They mention a girl from their past, whom they wonder about where she went. This, coupled with their admission of dishonesty, shows a certain vulnerability and a longing for something they don't have.
The chorus, "All the words that hurt you, wear them now like armor," speaks to the power of words and how they can affect us. The singer seems to suggest that by embracing the words that have hurt them in the past, they've become stronger and found protection from future harm. They won't fight like a lion, but they can talk, and damn it if they don't do it well.
The final verse takes a more melancholic turn and seems to suggest a desire to escape from reality. The singer urges the listener to leave the city and go across the sea, forgetting about the ashes of their family. They seem to imply that we're all puppets on strings, controlled by forces beyond our control. The song ends with the repeated refrain of talk, talk, talk, emphasizing the power of words and how they can be both weapons and shields.
Line by Line Meaning
In this light, I could be anyone
I can pretend to be anyone in this lighting
The hero that you wanted all along
You always wanted a hero and now I can be that hero
A giant's shadow looming up the wall
My shadow looks huge on the wall
But smaller now than I ever was
But I am actually smaller than before
Oh my kindness is a lie
My kindness is not real
Wicked tongue and wicked eyes
I have a bad attitude
She was shy and I was just a boy
There was a girl who was shy and I was naive
I wonder where a girl like that would go
I wonder where she is now
The hollow ring of silver on the floor
The silver ring on the floor is empty
Bought your company, but not your love
I bought your time but not your love
Here we are, my mercenary friends
Here we are, my group of friends who are only in it for the money
We can drink and talk and play pretend
We can drink, talk and pretend to be something we are not
All the words that hurt you
All the words that caused you pain
Wear them now like armor
Use them as a weapon to protect yourself
They will never harm or burden you again
They will never hurt you again
I won't fight like a lion of the rock
I will not fight like a fearless lion
But damn it if I don't give good talk
But I sure am good at talking
Talk, talk, talk
I talk a lot
A cliché of a broken thing
A stereotype of something that is broken
A ruin filling up on wine and skin
A person who is wasting away their life drinking and partying
Leave this city, go across the sea
Leave this place and go far away
Forget the ashes of my family
Forget about the destruction of my family
We are all still puppets on their strings
We are all still being controlled by others
Truth an ever-buried, bitter thing
The truth is something people try to hide and often bitter
Talk, talk, talk
I still talk a lot

Spirit: what a magnificent cat. My God. The majesty in him. He knows who he is and is recognized as such in this humble, kind-hearted animal sanctuary. Thank you to Jukani for calling back in the calming and generous of heart Anna Breytenbach. The sanctuary, Anna, and Spirit's paths have crossed for a reason: true companionship and respect all around.
I say hello to Spirit every morning and say a prayer to all animals based on a prayer from Dr. Emoto (who studied water, snowflakes and the effects of emotions and different music on snowflakes). Dr. Emoto suggested saying this prayer to water:
"Water we are sorry.
"Water please forgive us.
"Water, we thank you.
"Water, we love you."
I say this prayer and altered it for animals:
"Animals, we are sorry.
"Animals, please forgive us.
"Animals, we thank you.
"Animals, we love you."
What a fitting prayer for this utterly magnificent being, Spirit, and all who are helping him by letting him be, and to all around world who keep him in their thoughts ... and help animals as they can. Cheers fom America.

I think Anne Marie would like you me and everybody else to realize that she isnt some anomaly and ,.. more specifically that we can and should all have be part of this exchange.
—————————/
(And now speaking from my own heart, so as not to put words in hers..🫀)
Part of the whole rather than bits bytes, cuts and holes of a an incomplete deck.
Everything a seperate parcel and piece. Dissected collectdead and boxed. Division. Separation.
Awl’d different. Languishing Independent. Indecision. The forbidden. Incisions the living. Views skewed in two. Die’vision…of Death. Looping endlessly. First to last breath.
The wrong vision has corrupted the all living things with a lie.
Made to die. Now idea why.
That is a question. One of many to question and realize in amazement the
Quest-i-on is in a-maze-ment ….. but….for what??
I suggest starting with the definition of “amazement”
And think word breaking. Compound anagrams.

Dear Anna, your first story about Spirit touched so many of us and stayed in our hearts and minds. I frequently just "talk" to him and send him my love, as I do to all the animals of the world. What a majestic and beautiful creature Spirit is! To see the change in his eyes from fury to astonishment and then a new view of the world, just made me cry with happiness! Also, when the gentlemen who was taking care of him spoke to him and got such a tremendous response, I was so happy!! PLEASE keep teaching us humans to be compassionate with all animals!
I cannot bear the cruelty that still goes on. Can you please contact the bird world and ask those who
have to live in cages if we can make the cages better, I would be really grateful! It's bad enough that
we rob them of their freedom, but they are also exposed to drafts, sun, cold, and have nothing pretty
inside with them. The fish aquaria are also a great concern, as they make them smaller and smaller.
Why don't we put ourselves in the animals' places and see it from THEIR point of view? I wish I could communicate with them as well as you do. You have a wonderful gift, and we thank you deeply for
all the important work you accomplish! I hope our overall consciousness will become kinder towards
all life on this precious planet. God gave us so much, let us be most grateful and do our part so that
the suffering of the innocents will stop. Love and blessings to all!!
