Only For A Moment

safe with me

6/8 + 217.5
4/4 + 140

hbd mum thanks for everything <3

you know i'm just not about it
you tell me i'm not around it
i couldn't be 
i couldn't be
i couldn't be 

but you're safe with me
while the sea turns a royal
hoping we fall asleep 
just hoping we fall asleep

you're safe with me
keep holding my hand for a while
it's starting to rain
what's our luck?
oh these pieces are playing our part
don't you see that it's not gonna stop
maybe it's just a part of the way
a part of the way

don't you know
how hard i tried
to fall in line
and stay inside
this empty place 
why'd you follow me?
why'd you follow me?
was it all for me?


you're safe with me
keep holding my hand for a while
it's starting to rain
what's our luck?
oh these pieces are playing our part
don't you hear that it's not gonna stop
maybe it's just a part of the way
a part of the way

you're safe with me
keep holding my hand for a while
it's starting to rain
what's our luck?
oh these pieces are playing our part
don't you hear that it's not gonna stop
maybe it's just a part of the way
a part of the way

safe with me

// lyrics

[bh]
i'm feeling like i'm spinning right back uh
i'm sorry if i'm losing my track but
i'm escaping all these places
i am mentally trapped in my head and it's killing me
everybody knows where i'm at uh
oversharing, that's my bad
i hope that i don't fall behind the race
i'm going at my pace i'm going at my pace

there's a place that's not too far from here
it's been chewing at my gums
it's been ironing my brain out
now i'm missing half my folds
there's a better place i wanna be
on the list that's on my phone
send a letter back to you when i get home

[self discovery]
put me out
in those same old states
it's been too long
i'll spend one more day
to cut my teeth on just what's familiar to me
carve my jaw on unassuming
trials and tribulations
could be mild if i were stationary
minding the gaps like stepping stones
cause why should i have to go the extra mile

[stormkloud]
how do i fix myself and
how do i call for help
i'm scared
all familiar but i feel it
i know this has to quit
so how do i pump the brakes
yeah we could just sit and wait
right here
so i wonder if there's time for me
to stop and realize
it's not really something i can change
and i'm sick of wasting all my range
when new places get old
and old faces i told
to watch out for greatness
oh, how bold !
i think i'm better off
sticking to what i know

[self discovery]
there's a place that's not too far from here
it's been chewing at my gums
it's been ironing my brain out
now i'm missing half my folds
there's a better place i wanna be
on the list that's on my phone
send a letter back to you when i get home
but i'm scared i'll be the last one left
to share my story
i'll bite my tongue
it's for the lore
should i be wary
of whom i've shared my side
prepared to be the last one left
in purgatory
i'll hold my tongue
it's for my story
it's fair to say that
guilt has been my guide !

put me out
in those same old states
it's been too long
i'll spend one more day
to cut my teeth on just what's familiar to me
carve my jaw on unassuming
trials and tribulations
could be mild if i were stationary
minding the gaps like stepping stones
cause why should i have to go the extra mile

Les saisons à l’envers 

Depuis 1998, Balmino a évolué dix ans comme chanteur, auteur et compositeur au
sein du groupe Khaban' (3 albums, 300 dates dont les Francos de La Rochelle, Spa,
Montreal) puis sous son nom Balmino avec une incursion en 2013 dans le gros rock
(BROC "Des Trucs Qui Poussent").
Depuis 2013, la majorité de son activité s'est déroulée au théâtre aux côtés du metteur en scène Emmanuel Meirieu avec lequel il a partagé 7 spectacles et, là encore, plus de 300 représentations (dont plusieurs fois les Bouffes du Nord, mais aussi le théâtre du Rond-Point, La Villette et de nombreuses scènes nationales).
Les Saisons à L’envers. Un disque écrit en deux ans et façonné pendant deux mois au studio La Ciergerie de Lyon en binôme avec Julien Jussey qui l'a réalisé et arrangé.
« Ecrit en grande partie pendant les confinements, « les saisons à l’envers » est
le septième album, le disque bilan de 50 ans de vie sur terre, parfois sous terre
et régulièrement dans les airs aussi, de la traversée compliquée des « années Macron », de sa vision du monde et de ce qu’il devient.

C’est une foule de petites lucioles allumées sur le temps vécu autant qu’une curiosité
dévorante de profiter du temps qui reste. C’est un tout petit accès à une forme de
sérénité non dépourvue pour autant des questionnements et des doutes qui l’ont
toujours portés.
Une forme différente de les appréhender, certainement.
Plus pragmatiquement, c’est un voyage à quatre mains dans neuf nouvelles
chansons, accueillies et cuisinées par son ami Julien Jussey qui a réalisé, arrangé ce
merveilleux disque 
En parallèle à ces activités, Balmino a également écrit pour d'autres interprètes
(Olivia Ruiz, Babylon Circus, Maïa Barouh, Evelyne Gallet...)


"Seamstress of the Land" is a reflective, pastoral song that celebrates the quiet artistry of nature. Through imagery of quilted fields, silver rivers, and autumn’s rustic touch, it paints the landscape as a living tapestry stitched together by an unseen hand. Gentle and contemplative, the song asks whether this beauty is born of chance, time, or some divine seamstress at work — inviting listeners to pause, breathe, and marvel at the land’s quiet harmony.

Liebe ist   ...  ein verlorener Schuh

can we try to forget again?
