we listen to our music and stare at the silver screen
that’s where we got all our wisdom
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

records and concerts and flowers and dope
love-ins and blue jeans and politics and hope
meditation yoga and non pollutant soap, oh yeah
it all loses meaning when you’re crazy and broke
it all loses meaning when your crazy and broke oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer now

we listen to our music glued to the colored sets
we pretend that we don’t care at all
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

communes and stereos and women’s rights,
it all loses meaning in the new moonlight
dance in the clubs to the lazer lights oh yeah
it's all or nothing, which one is right
its all or nothing, which one is right oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer

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…

Le Meilleur De Toi

Had a little dry spell, hopefully it's over now. In the span of 24 hours I have alternated between hating and loving this track about 400 times...

If you need a helping hand
Someone who understands
Don’t shed a tear, I’m right here

If you need a dollar bill
Or have a little time to kill
Baby you know I will
I’m right here

When you’re down and blue
And you need two big strong arms to pull you through
Hold on tight, that’s what i’ll do

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you night and day
Have no fear I'm right here

When the road is long
And you need someone to beside you, I’ll come along
Anywhere with you, is the place where I belong

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you every day
Have no fear I'm right here
Have no fear I'm right here
Let me make this clear

I'm Right Here

EXIT

Hypothetical star ━👽binoculars

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That the ship is starting to sink

They that we’re running out of natural resources
We gotta go out and find ourselves some brand new sources
They say that we’re not goanna find them here on good old planet earth
We gotta go out in to the solar system and dig for all it’s worth

People out there living their lives 
They’re not worried at all
They think you’re just a chicken little 
saying that the sky’s goanna fall

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That the ship is starting to sink

Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars and make the human race multiplanetary
But the way those rockets keep blowing up makes that trip seem pretty scary

We feed our cow’s chicken poop and we’re  surprised when they catch bird flu
And when there’s virus in the milk they say that shouldn’t worry you
They say that steak tastes better if you feed the cattle a corn or grass diet
But they don’t advertise  poop fed beef they keep that part very quiet

Too much atmospheric CO2
Pesticides in everything we chew
Forever chemicals in H20
We need to make changes but 
We move too slow

We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
It feels like we’re on the Titanic
But we’re all to busy to panic
We’re teetering on the brink
I could really use a drink
I can’t help but think
That The ship is starting to sink

Its a Good Time to Be

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.
