J'ai écrit cette chanson en hommage à l'un de mes meilleurs amis emporté par un cancer l'année dernière. Il n'avait même pas 50 ans. C'était un ami comme vous en rencontrez bien peu dans une vie. Un poto, un grand frère, un confident, un larron en foire, quelqu'un qui ne laissait personne indifférent... et forcément qui laisse une trace indélébile dans le coeur de ceux qui ont la chance de l'avoir connu. Et finalement, je crois que c'est ça "Le Meilleur de Toi" : c'est un hommage à sa grande générosité, à tout ces petits et grands bonheurs qu'il a semés un peu partout et à tous ces merveilleux souvenirs que nous avons de lui. Quel plus beau cadeau pouvait-il nous faire?

I wrote this song in tribute to one of my best friends who was taken by cancer last year. He wasn't even 50 years old. He was a friend like few you meet in a lifetime. A buddy, an elder brother, a confidant, a jester, someone who left no one indifferent... and inevitably leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him. And ultimately, I believe that's what 'Le Meilleur de Toi' is about—it's a tribute to his great generosity, to all those little and big joys he scattered everywhere, and to all those wonderful memories we have of him. What greater gift could he have given us?


Le Meilleur De Toi

Je n’ai pas su trouver les mots
Pour te dire que c’était trop tôt 
J’voulais encore rester 
Près de toi

On aurait du défier le temps
Se moquer de nos cheveux blancs
Ça d’vait pas s’terminer 
Pas comme ça 

Ta lumière illumine mon cœur
J’pourrais la contempler des heures
En rêvant que finalement
On a toujours 20 ans
De toi il reste le meilleur 
Cet amour qui vient de l’intérieur 
Ce profond sentiment 
Que tu es toujours présent 

Souvent je regarde nos photos
Dans mes souvenirs il fait toujours chaud 
J’les ai fait défiler 
Tellement d’fois 

Et j’aimerais que tous ces instants
Brillent comme les étoiles au firmament
Beaux comme une nuit d’été 
Juste pour toi

Ta lumière illumine mon cœur
J’pourrais la contempler des heures
En rêvant que finalement
On a toujours 20 ans
De toi il reste le meilleur 
Cet amour qui vient de l’intérieur 
Ce profond sentiment 
Que tu es toujours présent 

Je n’ai pas su trouver les mots…

Lyrics:

Once we cherished the earth now it crumbles to dust
Deaf to the voices of the fallen we’ve lost
We sold our souls to demons and crushed those who defied
In the name of progress we chase the next lie

Screens divide hearts collide 
but never face to face, its all a lie
Fingers point while roots decay 
no one cares or mind

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Disconnected lost in the glow
Nature is screaming (but) we don't want to know

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Shattered reflection

We feel like gods yet hollow inside
Built empires of ego where the truth used to thrive
The forest burn the rivers run dry
But we’re too far gone to see what we have done

Empathy’s signed demise 
what have we become? who we are?

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Disconnected lost in the glow
Nature is screaming (but) we don't want to know

Shattered reflection a world torn apart
Blind to the soul deaf to the heart
Shattered reflection

We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
It's all a lie
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
We don't want to know!
Shattered reflection

Shattered Reflection

We are all sitting in an elevator that is racing close to the edge into the depths of the abyss. If we carry on like this, the next generations will experience a different world. A worse and darker world. Our egoism and our addiction to consumption prevent us from changing anything. The end is getting closer and closer ...
 
I would be very happy if you would also watch the video and give it a thumbs up.

Spoken Words:

Instead of celebrating the miracle of life, we're mostly busy making things difficult for each other.

The world can become a better place if we all are kind to one another and take good care of nature and our resources.

We become better people when we help others, are fair and honest, and learn from our mistakes.
