Les Douceurs

Upon a Spark

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

Before the End

Chalk (Demo)

Een stad die nooit uitgaat — zelfs als jij stilstaat.
De stad blijft aan vangt dat late-avondmoment waarin alles tegelijk beweegt en stilvalt.
Het ritme van regen op ramen, echo’s in verlaten straten, en gedachten die blijven ronddwalen.
Een nummer over loslaten, verdwalen en uiteindelijk meegaan met het licht dat achterblijft.
Synths die gloeien als straatlantaarns, baslijnen die ademen, en een gitaar die klinkt als een echo van een gesprek dat nooit af is.

(De AfterParty — opgenomen in Amsterdam, tussen licht en stilte)

De stad blijft aan

[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

Our Last Words.  Lyrics

Our first bilingual song. With Adrienne

#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.

Elodie, Melody

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..
