Be Careful If You Laugh. Concept Album (6 songs)
Laughter runs one second ahead of understanding. This album is the sound of the second second.
Be Careful… If You Laugh is a novel in five panels: five rooms in the same house, where every joke turns round a line later and looks back at the reader. Each panel has its own song, written to be heard inside the world of the story.
An examiner who has never given away half a mark. A father and son shut, every Saturday, inside an old grey car. A civil servant who rises on a page he never read. A forgettable husband who becomes a legend. A mother whose shadow has started running late.
These songs do not retell the stories. They sit in the chair beside you, after the laugh, and ask quietly what you were laughing at.
Listen before you read, and you will hear the novel's mood. Listen after, and you will hear what you did not notice.
