Les Douceurs

Upon a Spark

Lazy sun, shadows long,
Vinyl crackles, old love song.
Wooden board and olive wood,
Slices laid the way they should.
Verse 2
Genovese whispers spice and time,
Bresaola’s lean, aged like rhyme.
Pecorino, sharp and proud,
Crumbles like a Tuscan cloud.
Chorus
Pass the wine, let it flow,
Antinori in the glow.
2016, deep and fine,
Tignanello, ruby line.
To good friends and slow delight,
We toast the stars, we toast the night.
Verse 3
Laughter spills, unhurried pace,
A moment no one dares replace.
Crusty bread and stories warm,
Hearts unarm, far from the storm.
Pass the wine, let it flow,
Antinori in the glow.
2016, deep and fine,
Tignanello, ruby line.
To good friends and slow delight,
We toast the stars, we toast the night.
Outro
When the plates are bare and the candles low,
Still the night has more to show.
In every taste, a memory spun—
Antipasti dreams, under the sun.

Lyrics

In Saira's glow we wander far
Beneath the light of a dreaming star
The yon whispers secrets untold
On Eta's sands where stories unfold

[Verse 2]
King of my weary heart I plea
Guide me through this eternity
Your name
A song in the desert's breath
On Eta's edge
I defy death

[Chorus]
Oh Eta
O where the winds do call
Through the sands of time where shadows fall
Hold my soul in your endless tide
On Eta
O my heart abides

[Verse 3]
In Saira's arms I find my peace
The ceaseless pull
It will never cease
A kingdom born of golden grains
On Eta's shore where love remains

[Bridge]
The yon may shift the stars may fade
But Eta’s throne is where I stayed
A timeless hymn in the desert's glow
On Eta
O forever I go

[Chorus]
Oh Eta
O where the winds do call
Through the sands of time where shadows fall
Hold my soul in your endless tide
On Eta
O my heart abides

Glad I am

Marie BlueEyes in Paris
Standing in the summer rain
Reading letters that she won't send
Looking at the men she won't see again

Marie BlueEyes in Paris
Cursing the summer rain
She's still at the same old job
Making those same mistakes again

[Chorus]
Ah
The sun in her eyes
The moon in her hair
The world in her arms
Oh
Marie

Marie BlueEyes in Paris
Staring out into the summer rain
Seeing friends she'll never meet
Walking down those crowded streets again

[Chorus]
Ah
The sun in her eyes
The moon in her hair
The world in her arms
Oh
Marie

Marie Blue Eyes    Lyrics in description

Meditative version of Silence in the Green Gulch. SILENCE AT was a song about stepping outside your comfort zone and how zazen changes how you see things.
The image of waking up to a quiet sky shows the inner state of someone who meditates.

I thought that two different versions would better show this duality that binds us.

Woke to the Hush of an Open Sky.

Lyrics, Music.  Vesuvius 2025

White villages climb  
the mountain side  
Whispers of jasmine  
the night is wide  

Cobblestones glowing  
in fading light  
Echoes of guitars  
through falling night  

Verse 2  
Ronda stands bold  
where eagles fly  
Stone bridges crossing  
the endless sky  

Mijas in silence  
with candles that gleam  
Holds every secret  
holds every dream  

Pre-Chorus  
Shadows dancing  
fire’s embrace  
Footsteps striking  
timeless grace  

Chorus  
Andalusia  
burning gold  
Stories rising  
fierce and old  
Through the singing  
I can hear  
A thousand years  
still living here  

Instrumental Break 
 

Verse 3  
Olive trees sway  
crimson dusk  
Wind carries smoke  
with sacred musk  

Moonlight silver  
Alhambra walls  
A nightingale sings  
as darkness calls  

Bridge  
Clap of hands  
cry of soul  
Duende rising  
takes control  
)  
Andalusia  
burning gold  
Stories rising  
fierce and old  
Through the singing  
I can hear  
A thousand years  
still living here  

Extended Instrumental   


Chorus (big return, with harmonies)  
Andalusia  
burning gold  
Stories rising  
fierce and old  
Through the singing  
I can hear  
A thousand years  
still living here

Malaga Andalusia

The most astonishing landscape in CA
Song and Lyrics Vesuvius 2025

Verse 1]
Mist rolls over tufa towers,
Silver water mirrors the sky.
Winds whisper ancient hours,
Where gulls and ghosts both fly.

[Verse 2]
Salted shores, a lonely stretch,
Stones like bones beneath the sand.
Every echo feels a sketch
Of a world untouched by human hand.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I walk this shoreline, heart in thrall,
Every step a question, every shadow calls.

[Chorus]
Mono Lake, you haunt my eyes,
Your silence speaks where the spirit lies.
Frozen moments, time suspended,
Here I stand, my soul defended.

[Verse 3]
Sunlight fractures on the waves,
Colors strange, almost unreal.
Memories drift like water graves,
And the wind alone can heal.

[Chorus]
Mono Lake, you haunt my eyes,
Your silence speaks where the spirit lies.
Frozen moments, time suspended,
Here I stand, my soul defended.

[Interval / Instrumental]
(Piano arpeggios with soft synth pads, echoing the haunting, open landscape — guitar or strings can weave in slowly)

[Outro]
Mist returns, tufa shadows fade,
One last gull cries, the lake remains.
I leave with echoes in my chest,
Mono Lake, my quiet unrest.

Mono Lake is haunting me.  With lyrics

The Fall of the House of the Dwarves
Verse]
Seven dwarfs with phones in hand
Mining likes from digital land
Hi-ho hi-ho they’re trending
Man

[Prechorus]
Snow White’s laughing in the back
They’re viral now
No going back

[Chorus]
Seven dwarfs on TikTok
Can’t stop won’t stop
Dancing in a loop
Till the beat goes pop
Seven dwarfs on TikTok
Scroll and drop
Swipe right swipe left
Till the clock goes flop

[Verse 2]
Grumpy’s got his grumpy groove
Dopey’s got the cutest move
Doc’s analyzing all the views

[Prechorus]
Sleepy yawns but still he spins
Happy’s grin? That’s how it begins

[Chorus]
Seven dwarfs on TikTok
Can’t stop won’t stop
Dancing in a loop
Till the beat goes pop
Seven dwarfs on TikTok
Scroll and drop
Swipe right swipe left
Till the clock goes flop

[Verse]
Shadows crawl where sunlight fades
The clock is loud but the room just stays
I reach for your hand
It slips away

[Chorus]
Our last words
Our last words
Hanging in the air like broken birds
Say them soft
Say them slow
Before the silence starts to grow

[Verse 2]
The walls remember what we forget
A thousand whispers
A single regret
I see your face in the smoke of a cigarette

[Prechorus]
Tell me something
Anything real
Don’t let the void be all we feel

[Chorus]
Our last words
Our last words
Falling like stars
It hurts
It hurts
Say them loud
Let them glow
Before the silence takes control

[Bridge]
Was it the wind or the ghost of your voice
A faint echo wrapped in noise
Time’s a thief with a wicked grin
Stealing what we could have been

#french. # English # bilingual # the melody # music

Stay with the sound, Élodie,
reste avec moi dans la nuit.
Nothing fades when the heart still hears,
même le silence retient tes pas.

And if this moment is all we keep,
je t’écrirai dans chaque note,
the world asleep, the soul awake,
là où la musique me dévôte.

Élodie…
melody…
éternelle dans la lumière qui tombe.
Élodie…
melody…
que je porte, même quand tout succombe.

The sand whispers secrets under my feet
The sun's a hammer pounding heat
Shadows stretch thin
Then they retreat
No mercy here
No room to cheat

[Chorus]
Attack the Atacama
No turning back
Chasing the horizon on a dusty track
Attack the Atacama
The sky’s on fire
Every step burns
But I climb higher

[Verse 2]
Cactus guards hold their silent stance
Bones of the earth in a deadly dance
The wind’s got teeth
It cuts like glass
This desert don’t care if you’re first or last

[Prechorus]
Keep moving
Keep moving
No room for losing

[Chorus]
Attack the Atacama
No turning back
Chasing the horizon on a dusty track
Attack the Atacama
The sky’s on fire
Every step bien 
But I climb higher

[Bridge]
The stars at night
They glare
They judge
The moon don’t care
It won’t budge
Every breath feels like a war
But I’ll keep going
I’ll give it more

[instrumental]

# alpacas # walking # hills #wool # pop

I love animals. Especially the stubborn ones: cats, donkeys, sheep, cows, dogs that stop in the middle of a walk in the rain (basset hounds, beagles) and, above all, alpacas, which know the difference between those they will follow and those they won't. Animals that like to go against the grain.

Lyrics. 

[Verse]
We step in line one by one
Hooves tap-tap under the sun
The hills roll wide the sky’s undone

[Chorus]
A little walk with my 36 alpacas
They hum a tune it’s a wild sonata
Step by step we own the panorama
Oh yeah oh yeah my woolly drama

[Verse 2]
Their coats of fluff sway in the breeze
A rainbow herd across the trees
We make the trail a masterpiece

[Prechorus]
Their eyes like stars so bold so bright
They march with pride they own the night

[Chorus]
A little walk with my 36 alpacas
They hum a tune it’s a wild sonata
Step by step we own the panorama
Oh yeah oh yeah my woolly drama

[Bridge]
One stops to sneeze another stares
Two get tangled who even cares
We laugh we run we don’t compare
Our fluffy love is beyond repair

As a composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..
