Lyrics:

Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ out a boozy song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.

Everybody’s happy now, pandemic faded, no one’s invaded,
Everybody’s happy now, talk of recession, was just a bull session,
Everybody’s really happy now, peace in the Ukraine, 
feeding the world again,
Everybody’s happy now and we’re feelin’ no pain.

Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ out a maudlin song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.

Everybody’s happy now, Putin deposed, corruption exposed and
Everybody’s happy now, the Orange One’s in prison, 
the truth has arisen,
Everybody’s really happy now, 
every autocrat forced to use the laundromat,  
Everybody’s happy now, and we’re feelin’ no pain.

Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ out a tipsy song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.

Yeah you know we’re only dreamin’
But singin’ out a song is a better cure than screamin’
You know that we’ll get by,
Pretending to be happy bids the blues bye-bye.

Everybody’s happy now, energy retoolin’ so the climate is coolin’, 
Everybody’s happy now, 
we saved all the critters from becoming fritters,
Everybody’s really happy now, 
‘cause human rights have finally hit the heights
Everybody’s happy now, and we’re feelin’ no pain.

Yeah you know we’re only dreamin’
But singin’ out with flare beats pullin’ out your hair
You know that we’ll get by,
Pretending to be happy bids the blues bye-bye.

Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ out a woozy song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.
Everybody’s singin’ out a happy song “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”
Everybody’s singin’ an intoxicated song “La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.
“La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la”.

Everybody's Happy

The freedom of beats is important in music, every instrument and voice can be a beat, but the drum can even be a melody. This is what I wanted to achieve here! Listen to this !

Paroles / Lyrics :

Mauvais pressentiment
une odeur lourde rôde tout autour...
Ne revient aucun sentiment
juste une peur sourde aux alentours...
L'heure du ménage de printemps
tonitruantes pluies de mauvais temps :
balles grenades missiles bombes...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Sonnent les heures sombres
mes peurs surgissent en nombre de la pénombre
je respire l'odeur nauséabonde
de ma mémoire moribonde

De mon plafond tombent des hallebardes
les murs se lézardent
je perds pied le sol se dérobe
m'attire m'aspire m'absorbe...
Grand nettoyage place au vide :
Maladies épidémies virus Covid...
toutes les plaies sur nous retombent...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Tonnent les heures sombres
quelle hécatombe : émergent de l'ombre
mes pires aigreurs infécondes
et le désespoir abonde

De toucher le fond il me tarde :
je tournoie sans fin dans la tornade...
Mes souvenirs m'oppressent me stressent
m'immergent dans la détresse.
Grand final catastrophes naturelles :
cyclones tsunamis éruptions incendies
belle mise en œuvre pour qu'on succombe...
Un et deux pieds dans la tombe.

Dans mes heures sombres
mes peurs surgissent en nombre de la pénombre
je respire l'odeur nauséabonde
de ma mémoire moribonde

Dans mes heures sombres
quelle hécatombe : émergent de l'ombre
mes pires aigreurs infécondes
et le désespoir abonde

Interlude I:  Elements/Dark Side Recap

Mixed and Mastered by Woods Studio

Written for all my beloved pals from the 70's and dedicated to 364 Sunnyside Ave.

Lyrics:

Stand up my friends and we’ll raise a glass again
To the days when we all were shining
We won’t pretend that we’ll never reach the end
But it’s gold from our past we’ll be mining.

Turn around and then we’re reaching, 3 score and 10,
During all that time we’ve had some grieving.
Nonetheless today we only have bright words to say,
Hearts, high, we hold those troubles at bay.

Stand up my friends and we’ll raise a glass again
To the days when we were a-shining.
We might pretend that we’ll never reach the end
And it’s gold from our past that we’re mining.

Time Warp dancin’ days with our laughter on display
When we shared that shabby palace near the parkside.
Crushes at a cost, some affairs were won and lost,
Hearts, high, we learned about lovin’ and pride.

Stand up my friends and we’ll raise a glass again
To the days when we all were shining.
We will pretend that we’ll never reach the end
Of that gold from our past that we’re mining.

European trails were the stuff of taller tales,
Days when our feet found new horizons.
Drivers would succumb to the spell of our golden thumb,
Hearts, high, we rolled into the vanishing sun.

Sit down my friends and we’ll tell them all over again
All those stories ‘bout when we were shining.
No need to pretend that we’ll never reach the end
Of the gold from our past that we’re mining.
And it’s gold in our hearts we’re refining.
Ooo – ooo – ooo.

Shining

“I don't remember my dreams too much. I hardly have ever gotten ideas from nighttime dreams. But I love daydreaming and dream logic and the way dreams go” - David Lynch
​
I love to express stories through music and explore the visceral space that surrounds them. Sometimes I’m interested in creating sound collages, or tapestries of sound that are varied in their nature but unified in their aesthetic aim. Other times I surrender to something lyrical. Most of the time, I feel compelled to make sense of the world, which is impossible. But, after some work, which includes frustration, and occasional eureka moments, I find deep meaning and satisfaction in my music, especially as I near the finish line and embark on a collaborative journey with fellow creatives.
