The vocals and melody are impeccably cool!

Great intro - pulls the listener in right away, then it holds you. 😊

Première pensée   (Translated after French text )

Texte et chant : Muette
Musique : Alain Illos

Dans le vase de mon cœur
L’amour est à ras bord.
Dans le tien, une fleur
T'offre une nouvelle aurore.
Dans le sol de mon cœur
S’est ouverte une crevasse.
Le tien, d’heure en heure,
Se durcit et se tasse.
Dans la salle de bain
Où j'me rends présentable,
Je n'me trouve plus aimable
Et je te cherche en vain.
Mes yeux n’ont pas compris,
Immobiles dans la glace,
Butés comme des impasses,
Et ce corps inutile...
Quand viendra-t-il ce jour
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton langage,
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton visage,
Où ma première pensée
Sera d'boire un café ?
Je voudrais comme toi
Etre hors la loi d’amour,
Mais je suis condamnée
A te faire vivre toujours.
Je voudrais comme toi
Faire juste un demi-tour
Et t’avoir oublié.
Dis-moi comment tu fais.


First thought

In the vase of my heart
Love is overflowing.
In yours, a flower
Offers you a new dawn.
In the soil of my heart
A crack has opened.
Yours, hour by hour,
Hardens and settles.
In the bathroom
Where I make myself presentable,
I no longer find myself lovable
And I search for you in vain.
My eyes have not understood,
Motionless in the mirror,
Stubborn like dead ends,
And this useless body...
When will that day come
When my first thought
Will not be of you,
When my first thought
Will not be your face,
When my first thought
Will be to drink a coffee?
I would like, like you,
To be outside the law of love,
But I am condemned
To keep you alive forever.
I would like, like you,
To just turn around
And forget you.
Tell me how you do it.

Première pensée avec Muette

Small piano piece with repetitive chords on the left hand and some dissonances for a bitter-sweet mood. It reminds me of some sunsets in the countryside.

My favourite club is definitely Foufoune Paradise on Dagon Street.

Lyrics :

Foufoune paradise on Dagon Street,
the neon hums your name in liquid gold,
a symphony of shadows and damp heat,
where the secrets of the night unfold.

I meet you there in the pulsing lights,
your laughter tangled in the bassline’s sway,
a scented silhouette against the velvet sky,
dripping honey, melting time away.

(Chorus)
Oh, let's get wild, set the demons free
In this electric moment, just you and me
In your slutty mini skirt, your moves entice
There’s no place like Foufoune paradise.

The air is thick with sweat and desire,
your fingers trace the rhythm on my spine,
a language spoken only in the scarlet fire
of glances lost in your glass of wine.

Dagon Street breathes in our tangled steps,
Your silky curves crave for my gentle touch,
Your marble lips taste of stolen breaths,
The world dissolves to just this much.

(Chorus)
Oh, let's get wild, set the demons free
In this electric moment, just you and me
In your slutty mini skirt, your moves entice
There’s no place like Foufoune paradise.

The city hums a lullaby of chrome,
but here, we are the only truth it knows,
a fleeting spark, a wild, wandering poem,
our bodies tangled in afterglow’s throes.

When dawn ejaculates its haze of gray,
we’ll fade like echoes in the alley’s sigh,
but Foufoune’s pulse will linger, soft and sly,
a ghost of us beneath the streetlight’s eye.

Foufoune Paradise

Insomnia is a melodic journey into the space between wakefulness and dreams — that fragile, unsettling hour when the world goes quiet but the mind refuses to rest. It’s about the moments when the shadows seem alive, and the things we try to bury come creeping back to the surface. This track explores the weight of sleepless nights, the echo of nightmares, and the strange comfort we find in confronting what terrifies us.

There’s something magnetic about fear. We seek it out in horror movies, haunted houses, and Halloween nights — not because we want to suffer, but because fear reminds us that we’re alive. This is music for the restless, for those who find beauty in the unsettling, and for anyone who knows that sometimes the scariest stories are the ones we tell ourselves in the dark.

This track is more than a reflection of night terrors; it’s an exploration of the human condition — of anxiety, overthinking, and the invisible weight that presses down when the world goes still. Insomnia gives sound to the experience of being trapped inside your own head, where every breath feels heavy and every heartbeat sounds like a warning.

Yet within that darkness, there’s a strange kind of beauty — a pulse of life that reminds us why we fight to wake up. We chase fear the way we chase horror movies and Halloween thrills, not because we love the pain, but because it makes us feel something real. Fear is both the chain and the key. It confines us, but it also drives us to break free.

Thanks ChatGPT !!!

Happy Halloween : Sleep well and don't have nightmares !!

LYRICS: 
These thoughts go drifting by
And I watch them fade away
Where they come from I don’t know
Where they go, who can say
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another twist in the story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go 

What are the rules in this game
Are there any rules at all?
These thoughts go drifting by
And down the waterfall
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another chapter in the story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go

Now I’m standing by the river
At the foot of the mountainside
Will the grass be any greener
Over on the other side
It seems that there is always
A lesson to be learned
Another time, another story
As the pages get turned

So I put on my walking shoes
Take it steady, take it slow
Turn my collar to the rain
Breathe in deep and let it go
