Mélodie décidément merveilleuse, bien chantée... je trouve arrangement et production particulièrement réussis.

Ouah, superbe voix avec un swing sur une musique qui ne l'est pas moins. Chapeau.

Nuages  (Django Reinhardt) - ft. Lorenzo Rovito

Deux cœurs avec le vent de l'horizon 💞✨                                                         Two hearts with the wind of the horizon 💞✨

Promenade en Bateau 💞✨

Paisaje electro

This song is a haunting exposé set against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s carefully staged wedding — where flashbulbs masked the truth and Epstein lingered just out of frame. I wrote it to confront the disturbing friendship Trump has worked so hard to erase, the smiles and guest lists that history now reexamines with chilling clarity. It’s about the ghosts he pretends not to know, the evidence hidden in plain sight, and the way denial can’t cleanse the rot beneath the glamour. No golden tower, no velvet rope, no lawsuit can silence the truth forever — because every photo still bleeds… in the frame.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Flashbulbs lie, they never told
A shadow walked where secrets grow
In white and gold, the Plaza’s glow
You smiled for cameras you now disown
A ghost in the corner of your perfect day
History whispers in black-and-gray

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent names on the velvet rope
Dancing with devils in fur and hope

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Verse 2]
He signed his name in the wedding night
A phantom grin in the camera light
Paper trails, a burning lie
No golden tower can scrape the sky
The tapes resurface, the headlines bite
Your skeletons waltz in the morning light

[Pre-Chorus]
Silent names on the velvet rope
Dancing with devils in fur and hope

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Verse 3]
Denials rise like smoke and ash
You sue the mirror for looking back
Every doodle, every card
Is evidence carved in a guilty heart
History waits in the courthouse hall
Your friends don’t answer when justice calls

[Bridge]
Shutter clicks like a guillotine
Memory sharp as a crime scene
What you buried now takes flight
Every photo frame testifies tonight

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Chorus]
Your guest list is bleeding
Underneath the chandeliers
Every frame is screaming
The truth you tried to disappear
No vows can cover the rot inside
Your empire of shame, your haunted bride

[Outro]
Flashbulbs fade, but the ghosts remain
Every wedding bell tolls your name
Your guest list bleeds… in the frame

The Guest List (Buried in the Photos)

Dreams Of Long Ago

This song came from an idea I’d been toying with for a couple of weeks—I was going to write about catfishing. But then my fellow artist and friend @nova-j-49914957 on SC dropped an incredible track called Catfish, 
https://on.soundcloud.com/akXMvWHvhowllgLq0y and I didn’t want him to think I was copying his concept. So instead, I flipped the perspective and wrote about the other side of it—why a lonely soul might do it in the first place. This is a deeply human, empathetic look at the hidden pain that can drive someone to hide behind a false identity—not to scam, not to be cruel, but simply to feel noticed, valued, and alive for a fleeting moment. It’s about the scars that aren’t visible, the desperate need for connection, and how broken hearts sometimes cause harm without meaning to. It’s not an excuse for the hurt caused—it’s a reflection on the tragedy of someone who thought they had to be a stranger just to be seen.


LYRICS: 

[Intro]
She said she was twenty-five… lived near the coast
But the eyes in the photo… weren’t hers… and she knows…

[Verse 1]
He fell for the laughter, the sparkle, the name
While she hid in silence, drowning in shame
She typed like a dream, a fantasy bright
But cried in the dark, alone every night

[Pre-Chorus]
She never meant to cross the line
She just needed to feel… alive… this time

[Chorus]
She’s not a villain, not a thief
Just someone buried underneath
A thousand days of being no one’s choice
So she borrowed a name… and someone’s voice

She never meant to make him cry
She only wanted to feel alive
But broken people sometimes break
The hearts they never meant to take

[Verse 2]
There’s a girl in the mirror she barely knows
Painted in pixels and secondhand clothes
He gave her a moment, a glimpse of the light
She gave him a story she couldn’t rewrite

[Pre-Chorus]
And the truth was closing in too fast
She prayed each message wouldn’t be the last

[Chorus]
She’s not a villain, not a thief
Just someone buried underneath
A thousand days of being no one’s choice
So she borrowed a name… and someone’s voice

She never meant to make him cry
She only wanted to feel alive
But broken people sometimes break
The hearts they never meant to take

[Bridge]
Maybe if someone had noticed the signs
The girl behind all of the scripted lines
Maybe a friend, or a stranger’s grace
Could’ve saved her from needing another face

To be real, to be raw, to be loved all the same
Without playing somebody else’s game

[Chorus]
She’s not a villain, not a thief
Just someone drowning underneath
The silence, the shame, the years alone
The ache of never being known

She never meant to cross that line
She only wanted someone kind
But even kind hearts start to shake
When trust becomes a lie we fake

[Outro]
So don’t excuse the hurt she gave
But maybe grieve the soul she couldn’t save
The one who thought she had to be
A stranger… just to feel seen

lyrics
and this day was cold and long
I waited out ..all for you to say.....

I tried to say goodbye but
I failed again..I walked back
..and I tried to say goodbye..
Im still alive..I want to fight...

the night was young, I walked alone
I waited for you to go
..and the dawn came, you walked again into the solid
rain

I tried to say goodbye but
I failed again..I walked back
..and I tried to say goodbye..But
Im  alive..and I want to fight...

..so say those words again..I failed goodbye!
tell me..that you tried to come back again.. Im still 
alive....

I tried to say goodbye but
I failed again..I walked back
..and I tried to say goodbye..
Im still alive..I want you to find..

and this night its yours i want to say
goodbye again..

You Are The Future Now

(John Stone)

You are the future now
It’s time to recognise it
I’ve  put it off somehow 
But now I’ve come to realise it
Time has had its way
And no one can escape it
No matter what you try to do
The sands of time will get to you
You step aside for someone new 
When all is said and done 
You are the future now

It’s true we’ve had our ups and downs
We never will agree on
Which one of us is standing
On the side of history
But who knows what the future holds
Events will ebb and flow 
The people change their point of view
And when and why we’ll never know

Perhaps there’ll be a time 
When all will be accepted
And those who’ve seen it all before
Are valued and perhaps respected
Reason leads us to
Only what we choose to view
Be open to the things you see
And you may see things differently 
To be the best that you can be
But now your time has come
You are the future now

The cycle rolls around
You briefly take the stage
You will have to understand 
The complications of our age
And those who lived another time
And those who’s views do not align 
Because they walked a different line 
As now it’s up to you

You’ll watch your children grow
And try to teach them what you know
And hope they’ll understand 
The world just how you’ve come to see it
From your point of view
But one day they will rise
And as they look you in the eye
Don’t look away, don’t criticise
The time has come to recognise
That you must tell them too
You are the future now

You Are The Future Now

A haunting alt-industrial anthem wrapped in static haze and steel nerves, “Nowhere Left To Go” drives headlong into isolation, identity loss, and emotional drift. With ghostlike vocals and a relentless low-end grind, Slavez conjures the image of a soul trapped behind the wheel, barreling through memory and regret with no destination in sight. This is a soundtrack for late-night escapes, post-human breakdowns, and the moment when silence becomes deafening. Raw. Unforgiving. Undead.

Nowhere Left To Go

Et voilà, il est là ! 
🕊️ Envol — par Lena Normane

🌒 Longtemps restées dans l’ombre, ces chansons ont attendu leur heure. 
📓 Des mélodies écrites sur les coins d’un cahier, des mots griffonnés dans une chambre d’adolescente, des émotions retenues qui aujourd’hui s’échappent. 
✨ "Envol" n’est pas une fuite — c’est un dévoilement.

🎶 Ce premier EP est celui d’une femme sensible, passionnée, qui a gardé ses secrets en musique. 
💔 Chaque titre est un fragment de mémoire, un battement de cœur, un appel discret à ceux qui aiment les mots qui vibrent.

🦋 Des amours fragiles, des rêves qu’on n’a jamais osé abandonner — Lena Normane libère enfin ses chansons comme on libère des papillons dans la nuit.

🌬️ "Envol" : c’est ce moment où l’on ose. Et où l’on espère être entendu.

🕊️ Envol — by Lena Normane

🌒 Long hidden in the shadows, these songs have waited for their moment. 📓 Melodies scribbled in the margins of a notebook, words jotted down in a teenage bedroom, emotions once held back now breaking free. ✨ Envol is not an escape — it’s a revelation.

🎶 This debut EP belongs to a woman who is sensitive, passionate, and who has kept her secrets in music. 💔 Each track is a fragment of memory, a heartbeat, a quiet call to those who love words that resonate.

🦋 Fragile loves, dreams we never dared to let go — Lena Normane finally releases her songs like butterflies set free into the night.

🌬️ Envol: it’s that moment when you dare. And when you hope to be heard.<qq<z

played the theme with some personal interpretation  at the end "à la Bechet " ....well "à la steph" let's say :)

Any Django lover (guitarist or other) more than welcome to add a chorus / theme on this one ..I'd be happy to send you a base track and make another version  :)

Blues Clair  (Django Reinhardt)..clarinet version

Not easy to follow Django in his choruses with the clarinet !!! I did my best until the end on this beautiful track evoking the elegance of a beautiful young lady walking down the streets .... of Paris ( I imagine !)  ... All the genius of Django is here I think with the incredible feel with the melody and harmonies .  This song was recorded in 1942 with his clarinetist Hubert Rostaing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVfmme3vGPY
Hope you like my humble tribute ! Have a great week Steph
