Lovesong légère subventionnée par Monsieur Meubles...
Love ballad subsidised by a famous French furniture shop...: I wish I were a chair...

Here I try a translation in english for those who want to know what this is about...
#lyrics

I wish I were a chair
To hold you in my arms
You’d be sitting at ease
At meal times
At tea time I would be
right in the living room
the perfect option
For your conversation

If we fancy a nap
we’ll change continents
Switch from Louis XVI
To a swinging hammock 
I will take you all in
On the braided fabric
I will gently rock you 
From your head to your toes

When bedtime comes
My velvet backrest
Would make you want
To talk about love
Your gaze resting
On my satin arms,
what a Privilege, intrewined
Until the morning comes


But you should beware
If you move too much
If you get restless
seeking for something new
maybe something better
Here is my hypothesis
You might one day fall down
Fall down from this chair

Small couch or Méridienne 
Or charming sofa
No matter the divan
As long as bliss is here
Both of us lying down
Under the soft duvet
Slowly falling asleep
Breathing in the thrill

Je voudrais être une chaise

I started writing Know Me Better in June 2024, right after listening to Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. I was deeply inspired by its simple yet catchy melodies, but more importantly, by the way she tells a story or conveys a message through her songs. I wanted to create something in that vein, so I sat down at the piano, and the melody came to me surprisingly fast. The lyrics followed just as naturally—Know Me Better felt like an instinctive expression.

With this song, I wanted to explore the theme of appearances and superficiality, especially as portrayed on social media. I wanted to question what it truly means to be understood… But from the first sketches to a fully realized track, the journey was long, and it took the collaboration of several amazing talents to bring it to life.

Once the song was written and produced (by the end of August), I started looking for the perfect singer—and that’s when I found Jaime Deraz. I can’t thank her enough for lending her incredible talent and giving the song its true voice.

Then, after recording Jaime’s stunning vocals, my friend Freddie from MTM Productions stepped in to professionally mix and master the track.

Jaime and Freddie, an enormous THANK YOU to both of you for bringing so much to this project—it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Remixed 10th Oct 25

So I had written an instrumental track called 'The Mural' I said I would put some vocals to.  Without re-arranging the track too much this is what I came up with.  This is no longer a song about a Mural.  I went dark instead!  I cannot remove the hissing from the Guitar Tracks... despite my best efforts.  Hopefully the rest will make up for it!

I tried to believe
In every way forgive me
For fading away
I went to that room today
Where your heart it stayed
And all that I held so dear
Just slipped away
When I begged for you to stay

Hey
While there’s blood in these veins
I’ll be feeling this way

Oh, these blues can’t contain me
You knew how to break me
You swallowed your sorrow
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain

I tried to believe
Remember that Sunday, last May
It was all but a game
I ran from the truth in shame
But I’m not to blame
Cause this is your life
That’s right, not mine to save
When I begged for you to change

Hey
While there’s blood in these veins
I’ll be feeling this way

Oh, these blues can’t contain me
You knew how to break me
You swallowed your sorrow
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain

Yeah, I’d drown in pain
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain
Tomorrow you borrowed
So I’d drown in pain
Yeah, I’d drown in pain

Tomorrow You Borrowed

[Verse]
Woke up late shoes untied
Coffee cold but I’m alive
Mirror cracked but I still shine

[Chorus]
It’s fuckin’ awesome yeah it is
No plan no map just what this is
Turn it up and let it fizz
It’s fuckin’ awesome

[Verse 2]
Broken clock still ticks loud
Lost my keys but found my crowd
Life’s a mess and I’m so proud

[Prechorus]
We got no script no rules
Just fools with broken jewels

[Chorus]
It’s fuckin’ awesome yeah it is
No plan no map just what this is
Turn it up and let it fizz
It’s fuckin’ awesome

[Bridge]
Dancing on a table falling through the floor
Breaking all the windows kicking down the door
We don’t care what’s next we just want more

This songs describes where I'm at these days.

Lyrics:
You think I’ve reached the day, when things have stopped goin’ my way,
It’s scary to consider,  my feet turnin’ into clay,
But there’s that breeze, the greens of the trees,
The beauty makes my head pop so I’ll  keep
Livin’ each day, prayin’ to stay,
Keepin’ that body together.
                                           
I heard the doctor say, 
To stop skippin’ over the ocean,
You know I’ll surely pay,
For acting on every notion,
But look at the sky, the sun flyin’ by,
It’s calling me on and on so I’ll keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ that soul together.

That pile of pills seems to grow bigger every day,
If something gets me they’ll be evidence exhibit “A”,
So head for the hills, forget about wills,
Soak up all the nature and calm and just keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ it all together.

Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
          
Yeah, I heard the doctor say, 
I should stop skippin’ over the ocean,
And I’ll surely pay,
For acting on every notion,
But look at the sky, the sun flyin’ by,
It’s calling me on and on so I’ll keep
Livin’ each day, praying to stay,
Keepin’ it all together.

Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.
Keepin’ it all, keepin’ it all together.

Keepin' it All Together

The Thrillers' Gone

the act that never ends

Written in the heart of winter, “I’m A Queen” was born from a deep craving for warmth, sunshine, and good vibes. I needed something bright, bold, and full of life — like a musical getaway you can sip on like a beachside cocktail.

To bring this vision to life, I teamed up with Rebel Alley (aka Ava King), whose powerful, magnetic voice gave the track all its intensity and soul.

With tropical beats, bold energy, and hooks that stay with you, “I’m A Queen” is an anthem of confidence and self-empowerment. No games, no pretending — the Queen takes her space, sets her own rules, and reminds us that it's never too late to dance, dream, or take the lead.

The music video is out on YouTube, directed by the talented team at NSA Production, with Mylana Malsert as artistic director and lead role — delivering a fierce and radiant performance.

Écrite en plein cœur de l’hiver, “I’m A Queen” est née d’un besoin urgent de chaleur, de lumière et de good vibes. J’avais envie de soleil, d’évasion, de quelque chose qui donne envie de bouger les épaules et de se sentir vivant. J’ai imaginé cette chanson comme un cocktail à siroter sur la plage – un mélange d’énergie solaire et de fierté assumée.

Pour donner vie à cette vision, j’ai eu la chance de collaborer avec Rebel Alley (alias Ava King), dont la voix puissante et magnétique a tout de suite donné à la chanson la force et la sensualité qu’elle méritait.

Avec ses beats tropicaux, son attitude affirmée et ses refrains entêtants, “I’m A Queen” est un hymne à la confiance en soi. Ici, pas de faux-semblants : la Queen prend sa place, impose ses règles, et rappelle qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour danser, rêver ou reprendre le contrôle.

Le clip est dispo sur YouTube, avec une direction artistique signée Mylana Malsert, qui incarne à l’écran une Queen flamboyante. Merci aussi à NSA Production pour leur talent et leur créativité sur ce projet.

Lyrics : 

I see you watching every step I take
Can’t get enough, no way to escape 
You tried to hide it, but it’s too late
I got you baby yeah it’s your fate

I call around you as if I’m a snake
You little mouse don’t make no mistake
And if you’re freaking you ask your mate
I see in him he won’t hesitate

Don’t you dare to let me down
Boy you’re stumbling on the ground 
You can still just walk around
Baby you’re not the only one

Watch me dancing, I’m a queen
You might be falling off the scene
It’s not a game that you know you can win 
It’s way too late to give up
You know you’ll never keep up 
It’s nothing or everything 

You thought my heart was something you could break
But I’m the storm you’ll never outpace
The redemption you baby can’t wait
And in the end, the twist is so great

I am the highest dream you’ll ever make
If you kiss me you’ll never forsake
If you kiss me there’s no time to waste
Baby the cure might be out of date!

Quiero ir a Alaska

Era un día después de puente
y se oía gritar a Vicente:
venga chavales, menos hablar
que ya es lunes y hay que trabajar.

En una mesa Chupito a Juan
le comentaba la gran novedad:
hay que ir a Alaska a reglar un rodillo 
y quieren que vaya con el abuelito.
Ilusionado el joven Chupito 
cantaba así.

Estribillo

Quiero ir a Alaska con Abraham
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Herrera
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Aznar
Quiero ir a Alaska con el que sea.

Quiero ir a Alaska con el Ramón
Quiero ir a Alaska con el Fortea
Quiero ir a Alaska con Pasamón 
Quiero ir a Alaska con el que sea.


-----------   

Chupito soñaba con ese viaje
y le pedía el permiso a su padre
que extrañado, antes de dar
el visto bueno, se fue a comprobar.

Ya en la empresa osó preguntar
¿es fantasía o realidad?
no había viaje ni había rodillo
sólo la broma de un listillo.
Desilusionado el pobre Chupito
clamaba así.

Estribillo 

I Want to Go to Alaska

It was the day after a long weekend
and Vicente could be heard shouting:
Come on, kids, stop talking
because it's Monday and we have to work.

At a table, Chupito was telling Juan
the big news:
we have to go to Alaska to fix a rolling pin
and they want me to go with Grandpa.
Excited, young Chupito
sang like this.

Chorus

I want to go to Alaska with Abraham
I want to go to Alaska with Herrera
I want to go to Alaska with Aznar
I want to go to Alaska with whoever.

I want to go to Alaska with Ramón
I want to go to Alaska with Fortea
I want to go to Alaska with Pasamón
I want to go to Alaska with whoever.

-----------

Chupito dreamed of that trip
and asked his father for permission
who, surprised, went to check before giving
the go-ahead.

Once at the company, he dared to ask
Is it fantasy or reality?
There was no trip, nor was there a rolling pin,
just a clever kid's joke.
Disillusioned, poor Chupito
cried out like this.

Chorus

Quiero ir a Alaska

“Like the generations of leaves, the lives of mortal men. Now the wind scatters the old leaves across the earth, now the living timber bursts with the new buds and spring comes round again. And so with men: as one generation comes to life, another dies away."

—The Iliad, Book VI, lns. 171-75
