The original lyrics and style of C'était moi (https://soundcloud.com/benedict-francis/ce-tait-moi)

Memories of Harry's New York Bar in Paris back in my school days.

Was I

I’m a songwriter, not a performer. Hence the schizophrenic nature of my music. I write for other voices and a vast variety of styles. My tracks aren’t about showing off my own 'sound'. They’re about building stories and moods that come to life through whoever’s at the mic.

You won’t find me singing. I don’t try to fit a single genre. One day it’s indie rock, heavy metal or big band, the next it’s gospel, folk, funk, French café or something utterly different.

No image, no stage persona, no single sound - just songs, written to fit the voice that brings them to life.

Was I
