Needless (2008) – Dealing with self-pity and doubts
Driven by an electric piano, Needless is an indie pop ballad that explores a silent heartbreak. Self-doubt can destroy the best relationship, especially when you feel inferior to your partner. Dreamy synthesizers meet picked acoustic guitars, an anthem for anyone who ever felt too small to be loved and chose to disappear.

So What You Rock (2006) - Rock energy without guitars
British indie rock inspired me to write this song. I enjoyed fast and complex drum beats with intricate arpeggios. After a while, a guitarist asked me if they could help, but the arpeggio turned out to be unplayable, even with tapping techniques. As this song sounded almost electronic, I decided to add some more synthesizers and play around with reversed samples.

In this intimate, dreamy and heart- breaking journey back into childhood, Inyha invites us into her most precious memories with her father, who left this world too soon.

This minimal yet thoroughly arranged French chanson feels as if the artist is sitting right beside us — with soft, whisper-like spoken words at times and dramatic passages that go straight to the bone.

Deeply emotional and authentic, with influences ranging from Charlotte Gainsbourg to Romy Schneider and Léo Ferré, this melancholic piece full of nostalgia does not leave the listener untouched.


////// Paroles (English translation hereunder )

La traversée
De l’herbe pleine de rosée 
Le matin
Dans notre grand jardin 
En tenant ta main
En tenant ta main
Avec ma petite main

La moto
Bleu ciel de l’autodrome 
Pour enfants
Après une journée de plage 
Les étés en Italie
Ces étés en Italie
Des jours heureux 
Épanouies

Et la lune
Qu’on cherchait ensemble
Si haut dans le ciel en hiver 
Et les étoiles brillaient
Et mon étoile dansait
Et ton étoile m’accompagnait

Et ces étoiles là-haut me parlent et disent 
Qu’un beau jour on se reverra
Oui, les étoiles là-haut me parlent et disent 
Qu’un beau jour on se reverra

Le temps passe
Et ton visage s’efface 
Dans ma mémoire
Si loin, si loin
Je n’étais qu’un enfant 
Je n’étais qu’un enfant 
A peine 7 ans

Mon regard effrayé
Face à toi et tu me disais 
Tout blanc
Que je devrais pas avoir peur 
Que c’était toujours toi
Que c’était toujours toi
Mon papa, mon papa

Le lapin en papier
Qui était censé
Veiller sur toi
Le jours et nuits loin de moi 
Mais qui est revenu
sans espoir
Avant la fin des temps 
Avant la fin de ton temps

Mais je regarde le ciel et les étoiles me disent 
Qu’un beau jour on se reverra
Oui, je regarde le ciel et les étoiles me disent 
Qu’un beau jour on se reverra.


////// English translation:

Crossing Dew-laden grass
In the morning light 
In our big garden 
Holding your hand 
Holding your hand 
With my little hand

The sky-blue motorcycle 
At the children’s Autodrome
After a day at the beach 
Summers in Italy
Those summers in Italy 
Happy days
Full of joy

And the moon
We looked for together
So high in the winter sky
And the stars were shining bright 
My star was dancing
And your star was guiding me

And those stars up there speak to me 
And tell me
That one fine day we’ll meet again 
Yes, those stars up there speak to me And tell me
That one fine day we’ll meet again

Time goes by
And your face fades In my memory
So far, so far away
I was only a child
I was only a child 
Barely 7 years old

My frightened eyes
When I saw you and you said 
All pale
That I shouldn’t be afraid
That it was still you
That it was still you
My daddy, my daddy

The paper bunny
That was meant to
Watch over you
The days and nights away from me 
But it came back
Without any hope
Before the end of time 
Before the end of your time

But I look at the sky
And the stars tell me
That one day we’ll meet again
Yes, I look at the sky
And the stars tell me
That one fine day we’ll meet again.

First things first: Turn it up loud...

Symphony, a song sung by Alessandra from Holland.
Starting with a symphony, but at 132 bpm, it's a first-class house spectacle. Alessandra's superb voice adds the necessary spice.
The whole thing is produced as a loop.
Please don't forget to repost!
Thank you and enjoy....

Lyrics by Alessandra

It feels like I can't escape  
Now I try to run away from it  
You're in my head night and day  
This feeling won't fade away  
 
And you turn thunder into melody  
every time  
And it's stuck with me,  
can't go back  
Can't explain,  
your voice is stuck inside my brain  
 
In my head like a symphony  
Your voice is still holding me  
every day  
In my head  
In my head  
 
No more drowning, no more tears  
Just the fire burning clear  
Dark skies couldn't hide  
What you made me feel inside  
And you turn thunder into melody  
 
every time  
And it's stuck with me,  
can't go back  
Can't explain,  
your voice is stuck inside my brain  
 
In my head like a symphony  
Your voice is still holding me  
every day  
In my head  
In my head

LYRICS
You said “forever” with sunscreen in your eyes
I laughed, lit a sparkler, and watched it die
Poolside promises, cherry-stained lies
Another summer love, deep-fried

Endless July, yeah, we’re such a cliché
Kissing like we mean it, then drifting away
Plastic hearts in a heatwave high—
A perfect fake in endless July

Told the moon all our secrets, then forgot
Your name tastes better when it’s not
Slow-dancing with nowhere to be
You said “this is real”… ironically

Endless July, yeah, we’re such a cliché
Kissing like we mean it, then drifting away
Plastic hearts in a heatwave high—
A perfect fake in endless July

Maybe we’ll mean it next time
Or maybe just lie…
Like always
In endless July

ENDLESS JULY

Graced

This album is my first, and I think it turned out good. I like to inspire people with my music by you getting to know me and my problems and tribulations. I hope people can relate to my words, and be able to decide to take action to improve their lives.

AMANECER

Empieza a amanecer 
y el sol se asoma lentamente
por entre las montañas,
dando paso a la mañana.

Perdido en las tinieblas
contemplo mi pueblo y a sus tierras
que conforme viene el día
se van llenando de vida. 

Estribillo

Me gusta ver cómo amanece
y con calma esperar que venga el día
el canto del grillo se muere
en cambio el del gallo se anima.

Me gusta ver nacer el alba
y sentir el frescor de la mañana
los rayos del sol en mi cara
la tranquilidad en mi alma.

---------  

El día comenzó
y se ven las aves junto al cielo
expresan con sus trinos
la alegría de vivirlo. 

Contento y satisfecho
emprendo el camino de regreso
y cuando despierta el pueblo  
es cuando yo cojo el sueño.

¿Sabéis por qué, amigos? Sencillamente porque

Estribillo

DAWN

It starts to dawn
and the sun slowly peeks out
through the mountains,
giving way to the morning.

Lost in the dark
I contemplate my people and their lands
that as the day comes
they are filled with life.

Chorus

I like to see the sunrise
and calmly wait for the day to come
the cricket's song dies
instead the one with the rooster is encouraged.

I like to see the dawn rise
and feel the freshness of the morning
the sun's rays on my face
the tranquility in my soul.

---------

The day began
and you can see the birds next to the sky
they express with their trills
the joy of living it.

Happy and satisfied
I start my way back
and when the town wakes up
is when I catch the dream.

Do you know why, friends? Simply because
