Un grand merci à Lena pour cette fabuleuse interprétation, sa voix est à mon goût une des meilleures que j'ai pu entendre .. 
"Mathieu" est le héros du film "une place au soleil" de rené VAQUIER, j'avais utilisé à l'époque "vocalise" pour obtenir la voix que l'entend sur la musique originale, mais la voix de Lena apporte des émotions supplémentaires, une couleur différente, une sorte de magie .. pour reprendre les mots de mon ami Steph OUNA, c'est comme si il y avait un instrument supplémentaire !!! 

Cette version a été faite le 14 Mars 2019 en même temps que la version soft et mise en ligne le 7 Mai 2019 en hommage à mon père, pour apaiser un peu ma peine qui ne cesse de grandir, il repose en paix depuis le 7 Mai 1992.

Merci pour votre soutien.

When I heard Jimmy’s outstanding vocal additions to Phil's open collaboration, I thought I might add some guitar.
It’s been a real blast working with Phil, Jimmy and Rick on this one.  Cheers guys.
A special thanks to Phil for his work on mixing and production.

Lyrics:-

I was born the son of a pharaoh
I lived in the valley of the sun
But I was pierced with a poison arrow
Pain came swift but I was a fortunate one
'Cos I was blessed by a cultured woman
Who gave me children to spare
They outnumbered my hands' fingers
They were clothed in linens and the finest of care
All the sea-life in the oceans
All the animals in our care 
We're all bound to the same conclusion
Show your love everywhere
Love is everywhere
Everywhere...

Show Your Love Everywhere (Phil McWalter - Jimmy Rivas - Rick Medlock - Dairv Dubbleyew)

Texte Français et Google traduction

QUELLE VIE JE VIS

J’ai bien souffert, je peux le dire
Une misère, voire même pire.
De la méfiance en l’être humain
Ce manque de chance quand çà vous tient.

Les tromperies, fruits du hasard,
Ont faient ma vie rester en noir.
Des coups bien durs, d’autres assez bas,
Font les blessures qui n’guérissent pas,

J’dis plus mon âge, il est certain,
Nombreuses pages, un long chemin.
Il reste encore pour qui le veux
D’ici ma mort, des jours heureux.

Je ligne mes yeux au crayon noir,
Je fais d’mon mieux pour me faire voir
Si j’en ajoute, trop quelquefois
C’est que mes doutes sont toujours


Quelle vie je vis

Je vais m’écrire dans cette histoire,
Et même vous dire que quelque part,
Ce monde malsain où vivent les grands
Refuse ma main quand je leur tends,

Cherche couleurs, plutôt pastels,
Du chaud au cœur, y’a rien de tel,
Sur une palette à mélanger,
Je voudrais être du verbe « aimer ».

Quelle vie je vis

Toutes ces traces qui m’ont marquées,
Ont prises trop d’place dans mes pensées
Quand je regarde autour de moi,
Je sèche mes larmes pour pas qu’çà s’voit.

Tous mes espoirs sont restés vains
Rien que d’y croire me fait du bien.
Je cherche encore, je cherche toujours
Rien n’est plus fort que de l’amour.
Qu’ai-je bien pu faire pour être ainsi,
Sinon me taire et puis tant pis,

WHAT LIFE I LIVE

I have suffered well, I can say
A misery, even worse.
Mistrust in the human being
This lack of luck when it holds you.

Deception, the fruits of chance,
Have my life stay in black.
Very hard shots, others quite low,
Do wounds that do not weal,

I'm older, I'm sure,
Many pages, a long way.
It remains for who wants it
By my death, happy days.

I line my eyes in black pencil,
I do my best to make myself see
If I add, too much sometimes
That's because my doubts are always


What life I live

I will write myself in this story,
And even tell you that somewhere,
This unhealthy world where big people live
Refuse my hand when I give them,

Seeking colors, rather pastels,
From warm to heart, there's nothing like it,
On a palette to mix,
I would like to be of the verb "to love".

What life I live

All these traces that marked me,
Have taken up too much space in my thoughts
When I look around,
I dry my tears for not seeing it.

All my hopes were in vain
Just to believe it makes me feel good.
I'm still looking, I'm still looking
Nothing is stronger than love.
What could I have done to be so,
Otherwise shut up and then too bad,

QUELLE VIE, JE VIS (Vivre seul)

I'm Set In Your Ways

Moving

Marion
Why does your head hang in this weather?
Wondering when these winds will change
Leaving these streets for something better
Leaving these shadows in the rain
Sometimes I tell myself I’m drowning in this kill
I never learned to swim I fear I never will
Sometimes I find myself here standing on this stone
Gazing out across the deepest, dark unknowns

It’s all because
You know not one stitch of what you do to me
I ponder and pause
Bury the thoughts I harbor deep inside of me
It’s all because
My heart knows the sound of insecurity
I wonder the cause
Marion I love you

I look at your face there in this picture
It captures the lovely way you smile
The sun is softly setting sadly on the sea
At night your calming whispers echo in my dreams

It’s all because
You know not one stitch of what you do to me
I ponder and pause
Bury the thoughts I harbor deep inside of me
It’s all because
My heart knows the sound of insecurity
I wonder the cause
Marion I love you

Not my usual genre...but it blew in on the breeze.......

Justin Valente's an exceptional blues rock guitarist and when he asked me to lay down a little Hammond behind him I had to jump.  Check out what Justin does, to the emotion and heart he pours into each note and bend.  I've always been so impressed how Justin navigates the blues form, bringing high energy to bars 11 and 12, driving the music forward with soul and energy.

I fell in love with this song from the first moment I heard it. It was in NYC in a taxi. It was sung by Linda Ronstadt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhAKYmVgiSw.
After having it hovering in my head for many years, I made my own version (it was almost inevitable, I'm sorry)

Que pena de las palabras que se callaron
y aquellas que pronunciadas, están perdidas
Que pena de primavera sin flor ni canto,
Que pena de algún verano sin golondrinas
Que pena de algunos besos que no se han dado
y aquellos labios dispuestos, pero a escondidas
Que pena de las estrellas que se apagaron
en medio de alguna noche mal encendida
Que pena de las promesas que se quedaron
bailando con los recuerdos en una esquina
Que pena de los amantes que se dejaron
sin darse siquiera un beso de despedida
Que pena de los amores que ya pasaron
Que pena de los amores que no existí­an
Que pena de los amores que me olvidaron
Que pena de los amores que se me olvidan.

Pena de los Amores

Taking it Easy Lyrics:  Irina

What can I do?

Can I count me plus you?
What do you see?
Can you count you plus me?

Does it make any sense?
Tacit romance...

We are taking it easy
Taking it easy...

What can I do?
What if it is me minus you?
What do you see?
Is it you minus me?

Does it make any sense?
Tacit romance...

We are taking it easy
Taking it easy...

Lunatics 3//// Freak out Jam////Joerxworx & Ratzzz

This track is the result of a collaboration with a fantastic singer and artist TygerTyger https://soundcloud.com/corvus_sky , whose voice made a splash in my mind. I am eternally grateful to her for her cooperation and excellent work on this track. In fact, this track is a logical continuation of "Desert Wind" https://soundcloud.com/coda2009/desert-wind , its Remix. TygerTyger wrote the lyrics to my music, based on Frank Herbert's novel "Dune" and sang amazingly.

Desert Sky

Here in my dreams her waits for me 
Here in my dreams he waits for me 
Underneath the desert sky 
underneath the twilight moon 
you and I 
you and i 

I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 

underneath the desert moon 
He waits for me
 he waits for me

I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm 
underneath the desert sky 
underneath the desert sky 
you and I 
you and i 

here in my dreams  he waits for me 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm
 he waits for me 
under the desert sky 
I walk without rhythm 
hey hey heayyo 
here in my dreams  he waits for me 
I walk without rhythm 
! walk without rhythm
 he waits for me 
under the desert sky 
I walk without rhythm 
hey hey heayyo

Lyrics. 

A day
Turns night
Calling on...
The Dawn

They gaze
My eyes
Not for long...
The night takes hold

Away
I glide
Like there’s no...
Morning

Make way
Daylight
Turn into...
A pale moonshine

T’is then I do know
That here I can fly
On tidal waves that overflow
With visions of life
Ah....

T’is where I escape 
A place beyond time 
On spectral waves of broken light
With fragments of life
Ah....

Daybreak...
Grey Dawn
Light seeps through
The trees

Awake...
Day dawned
Light pale blue
And morning dew...
