As I know I've said before, "Side-Step Dimensions" is such a perfect encapsulation of all you're expressing in your various artforms.

LYRICS

Living times
Lifetime's gone,
Crisp at dawn
Mellowed by the sun.

Golden horizon, all at stake,
People arrive at the fray.

No one knows the roots of our past.
No one shows, we've given our best.

Times have come
Times have gone,
Past tense
Is the chosen form.

Till the plain, caught up surrounding 
Our heart, our soul, our own.

No one knows the roots of our past.
It goes to show it's gone too fast.

Shear moonlight through my window.
Riding sideline, drawn-out timeline.
Taste so quaint, virtuoso.
Hello blueprint: unchecked, untried.

See the way
Script what may,
Humbled by the song
Promises go on.

What is this, hold on exist,
Gotta love our land, our smile, our pain.

No one knows the roots of our past.
No one grows enliven the guest.
It goes to show it's gone too fast.
No one knows the roots of our past.

The Roots of Our Past

Lyrics:

Have I actually side stepped
Through some strange dimensions?
Unaware, travelling through rifts in time
Without directions?

It would sure explain some things
Like pure perfection timings
For instance how we met,
What predetermined paths were set?

When my universe collided with your own,
Our introduction was intense
I wondered if you were my clone
Cause only you make this much sense

Yours is the voice
That reached out to my soul
Falling in love with you wasn’t a choice
It was just inevitable

Regardless of reality
Still feeling so unreal
I’ve found a realm of quality
You are the real deal

But had there been any distraction
There may have been no interaction 
We never would have met that way
That blows my mind, I'm now your fiancée

If circumstances altered,
The meeting would have faltered

It makes me wonder: how many of me did not meet one of you?

If I’m in the
Best timeline
And I believe
That’s credible
You’re by my side
Though realms collide
To make that possible

Realm II [Instrumental Prologue]

Side-Step Dimensions - Instrumental (album version)

Happy to be back on SC with a new track, a new collaboration with my great friend and music inspirer Tom Régnier. Tom suggested we cover this popular French classic from the 70's, originally performed by Michel Delpech, and he created a wonderful arrangement in the purest Tom Régnier style. All I had to do was to sing and add a few guitar notes.

J'ai mon rhumatisme
Qui devient gênant
Ma pauvre Cécile
J'ai soixante-treize ans
Je fais de la chaise longue
Et j'ai une baby-sitter
Je traînais moins la jambe
Quand j'étais chanteur

J'avais des boots blanches
Un gros ceinturon
Une chemise ouverte
Sur un médaillon
C'était mon sourire
Mon atout majeur
Je m'éclatais comme une bête
Quand j'étais chanteur

Un soir à Saint-Georges
Je faisais la kermesse
Ma femme attendait
Planquée, dans la Mercedes
Elle s'est fait jeter dans l'Indre
Par tout mon fan-club
J'avais une vie de dingue
Quand j'étais chanteur

Les gens de la police
Me reconnaissaient
Mes excès de vitesse
Je les payais jamais
Toutes mes histoires
S'arrangeaient sur l'heure
On m'pardonnait tous mes écarts
Quand j'étais chanteur

Ma pauvre Cécile
J'ai soixante-treize ans
J'ai appris que Mick Jagger
Est mort dernièrement
J'ai fêté les adieux de Sylvie Vartan

Pour moi, il y a longtemps que c'est fini
Je comprends plus grand-chose, aujourd'hui
Mais j'entends quand même des choses que j'aime
Et ça distrait ma vie
