Very nice vocals across very nice arrangement.

great vibes! lovely song with an awesome message :) great work Phillippe!

This turned out really well-great performances!

this remind me to some Mission songs of 80's, or some sister of mercy's songs. i've listened a lot to these bands when i was a child :-)))

Bravo Philippe, this jangly guitar sound works so well with your warm vocals

VRaiment super!! j'aimme beaucoup !!Tres belle voix!!!

Une voix tour à tour cassée, ambigüe, de crooneur… De l’improvisation au piano ou avec un gros son de Mini-Moog… Le voyage musical est sinueux. L’éclectisme est assumé, cultivé. Musicien compositeur installé à Toulouse, au carrefour de la pop, de la chanson, du jazz, du blues, de l’electro, Philippe Goirand veut maîtriser l’ensemble du processus de création : composition, écriture, orchestration, mixage, mastering…

Les paroles sont en français ou en anglais selon l’inspiration et affrontent le présent sans concessions. C’est rien, itinéraire d’un réfugié. Oh Poppy go on, désastre écologique et transmission d’un père à son enfant (« I have tried but I felt so alone »). Close to Robert, autofiction où l’inspiration est perturbée par un vieil ordinateur nommé Robert. God Blues, Dieu supplanté par Google….

KING DODO - THE CASCADE PHILOSOPHY

Restless

Masterfully composed with unique sounds and instrumentals by the fabulously talented https://soundcloud.com/derek_barlas who I have had the pleasure of collaborating with on several other fantastic songs.  Vocals have a taste of Crazy by the artist Seal and very hypnotic and worth the listen until the end.  "Survive"

Far As East Is From The West

Un instrumental au piano qui a fini par inspirer des paroles bizarres (Joe, si tu m'entends...). 
An instrumental piano song that finally inspired strange lyrics (Joe, if you can hear me...).

Should I stay or should I go tonight
Before black shirts will ring my bell tonight
With strange navy blue, white, red flowers
Smiling showing all of their teeth
Are you ready to kill for Love…
Should I stay or should I go tonight
Before false prophets will ring my bell tonight
With strange small magic recepe books
To see life in red-rose-coloured glasses
Are you ready to kill for Love…

Are you ready to kill for Love

Are you ready to kill for love

Look at the blue line of the Vosges
Enemy from the East
Look at the blue Cayenne Porsche
Melody of the beast

And you open your arms
And you open your heard
You’d like to leave the scene to go to 
The kingdom of secrets
And you open your arms
And you open your heard
You’d like to leave the scene to go to

The kingdom of secrets
A kingdom not made of love 
To the kingdom of secrets
A kingdom not made of love

Sit down at the king’s table drinking
Poison from the east
Lie down in the king’s bedroom giving
Pleasure to the beast

And you arch your back
And you open your legs
You’d like to leave the scene to go to 
The kingdom of secrets
And you arch your back
And you open your legs
You’d like to leave the scene to go to

The kingdom of secrets
A kingdom not made of love
To the kingdom of secrets
A kingdom not made of love (X3)

It’s still time to change your mind
Close your eyes, don’t be blind
Beast beauty will loose your mind

Sing sing, the music’s fine
It’s still time to change your mind
Close your eyes, don’t be blind
Beast beauty will loose your mind (X3)

Kingdom of secrets

Spotify

Song made thinking of my daughter, my son, young people in general, thinking of the collective responsibility of my generation. Now, it's up to you to repair our damages. I did a bit, but sorry, not enough. 

Lyrics

What can I say of what I've done 
I have tried but I felt so alone 
Everyone on earth is homesick 
Human beings, fish or bees

Sugar, my future 
What about your life 
Secret melody 
What about your fight

Oh Popie Popie go on 
The way is long 
Oh Popie go on 
Don't let the world down

What can you say of what I've done 
That I lived as if I was alone 
Heat and water are coming up 
But you're not allowed to be fead up

Sugar, my future 
What about your life 
Secret melody 
What about your fight

Oh Popie Popie go on 
The way is long 
Oh Popie go on 
Don't let the world down
Oh Popie Popie go on 
The way is long 
Oh Popie go on 
Don't let the world down

What can I say of what I've done 
What can I say of what I've done 
What can you say of what I've done

Oh Popie go on, Don’t let the world down 
Oh Popie go on, The way is looooong 
Oh Popie go on, Don’t let the world down 
Oh Popie go on

Oh Poppy go on

Song about migrants, trying to imagine a story, a reason to move, a path...
Musically, the piano is the first element, and after a big synth bass. I tried to compose a near 6' pop song, with a long solo piano, not easy to convince radio programmers ;-)... 

Lyrics

Auprès de mon arbre je vivais heureux
Me contentais de peu et fuyais les palabres
Le temps était lent, presque arrêté 
Puis s'est accéléré comme se lève le vent

De faux érudits ont fait des histoires
Batailles de dollars ou de confettis 
Deux trois devises ont tendu nos bras 
Des hymnes à la joie, faisons nos valises

C'est rien…

Les feuilles mortes, je les ramasse à la pelle
Au pied du gratte-ciel dont je fixe la porte
Ceux qui vivent là ont jeté la clé
Sont restés enfermés en me laissant ci-bas

Je voulais vivre mieux mais tout passe si vite
Ma vie se délite, je ne vois que du feu dans le ciel bleu
On sait ce qu'on quitte mais on est curieux 
De savoir sous quel Dieu Babylone fut construite

C'est rien…

C'est rien

Well, the only error of George Orwell was to think that Big Brother could be a so bad guy...

Lyrics

He's just the mirror of the street
Why hate him, why hate him
We want to find our place
To create our space
We want to follow the stream
To live our dream
At the top of the wave
To surf a little moment and then we drown in the sea
We feel so small – (just disconnected - must be connected)
We feel so poor – (just disconnected)
The Network is our God our mate our father the Queen Mam
The Network is our Guide our gateway our bird the boss we work for
Growing up silently, looking friendly
Gentle Big Brother's feeding our soul
Growing up silently, looking friendly
Gentle Big Brother's leading our soul
He's just the mirror of the street
Why hate him, why hate him
Smiling into webcams
Smiling all the time
We want to be at the top
Of the list of keywords
At the top of the wave
To surf a little moment and then we drown in the sea - That's life
We feel so heavy – (just disconnected - must be connected)
We feel so empty – (just disconnected)
The Network is our God our mate our father the Queen Mam
The Network is our Guide our gateway our bird the boss we work for...
Growing up silently, looking friendly...

Gentle Big Brother

Dieu que j'ai le blues, Dieu que j'ai le blues
Dieu que j'suis fauché comme les blés
Ils ont tant de floose, Ils ont tant de floose
Je ne suis plus sûr d'exister
La vérité est à vendre
Et c'est bien trop cher pour Moi lalala
Tant que Google peut s'étendre
Moi je ne fais pas le poids
Mon crédit se réduit, cet argent qu'on détourne
Dans le ciel c'est la nuit, ces âmes qu'on détourne
Un jour ils voudront m'acheter
Ils m'offriront un parachute doré
Une vie de milliardaire
J'y perds mon latin, j'y perds mon latin
Ils croient que j'suis américain
A Dieu les remords, à Dieu les remords
Je m'en vais chercher des sponsors
La vérité est à vendre
Et c'est bien trop cher pour Moi lalala
Tant que Google peut s'étendre
Moi je ne fais pas le poids
Mon crédit se réduit, ces prières qu'on détourne
Et le ciel est plus gris, le carbone y séjourne
Un jour ils voudront m'acheter
Ils m'offriront un autel de verre et d'acier
Loin de la lumière
Un jour il faudra bien payer
Mais Moi je coulerai une retraite dorée en enfer (x3)

God blues

God Blues

Close to Robert is a French composer born in Scotland, pianist, producer and environmental activist, formerly elected to the town hall of Toulouse, France. 
His music mixes pop melodies, crooner voice, catchy bass lines, jazzy piano and synth solos. 
His compositions would be different without the Beatles, Bowie, Gainsbourg, Bashung, 80s Pop, the Roland JX3P synth... Close to Robert likes eclectic musicians, pop in the broad sense, like Chilly Gonzales, Jeanne Added, The Divine Comedy, Lana del Rey, Benjamin Biolay, Emilie Simon, Sébastien Tellier, Get Well Soon...
Ecology takes a major place in his lyrics, in a perspective that is both realistic and optimistic, because we have no other choice but to believe in humanity.
