We will record soon a cover of Bizet's "Au fond du temple saint", from the opera Les pecheurs de perles (there's a circumflex accent missing there, sorry). We'll totally butcher the Frech here and also the aria, but it's just too beautiful to just leave it alone. We're thrilled about this challenge, and it will be the first WB song featuring drums. Here are the lyrics.WILLIAM BLAKE - LES PECHEURS

There's a song, "Sanctus", by the German goth band Lacrimosa. I want to extract parts of it and mix it and turn that into a good old-school hip hop. I don't know if any of you out there could help me mix the music and give it a delicious hip-hop beat. I'd take care of the lyrics and the singing.

I'm sorry, poetry lovers; Paul Verlaine's "Chanson d'automne" will also be recorded by William Blake. I already wrote the music and it's one of my favorite songs of the band up until now.The problem is that we need a piano (and a violin if possible) is anyone there interesting in lending a helping hand with these requirements?The poem:Les sanglots longsdes violonsde l'automneblessent mon
