Great playing, nice progression, an original...

Au risque de me répéter ; superbe 👏👏👏

you were my favourite musical discovery on this site in 2023....great work

Musically brilliant, you handle all the changes (in feel and tempo) with such precision and authority. Great listen.

Pas entendu un bon morceau comme cela depuis un moment !

Je confirme ce que dit @Dominique Le Bars... C'est juste Fabuleux!!

Country boy leaves his small-town life & small-town sweetheart for the big-city life and a big-city girl, and everything seems to be working out grand. But it turns out that there’s just one little problem….

Just One Little Thing....

Lyrics (Original Song)
Oh, I believe in the sunshine as it streams from a bright blue sky
But my faith is not so sure when the night owl sings   
and the moon lies down on his job
I will show myself grace when the way is dark and steep
But I’ll no longer stop in fear

I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And  dance to its every sound
I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And leave my masks behind
			
I carry a load of tightly packed stones strapped firmly to my back	
The stones bear the names of ancient regrets 
That are so hard to let go
But I’ll lay my burden down, skip those stones across the lake
And smile as they slip from view

I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And  dance to its every sound
I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And leave my masks behind

I will never wear Superman blue
but I can still learn how to fly

I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And  dance to its every sound
I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And leave, and leave , and leave my masks behind

Superman Blue

I open my eyes
It's time to go
And start the show
And even if I don't feel like it
I hear a voice
I've got no choice
I just wanted to sing
Above all keep my wings

I would have liked you to explain my role
In this play I feel like a puppet that swings
And in this world where chaos takes its toll
I see that crazy people are pulling the strings

Yet if the spotlights blind me
I can still make my mind, hey !
I'm looking for some meaning
A song with rhyme
But it seems reason's a crime
And deep inside, a soul is awakening 
For a glimpse of light
To reclaim the night

I would have liked you to explain my role
In this play i feel like a puppet that swings
And in this world where chaos takes its toll
I see that crazy people are pulling the strings

And in this masquerade
In a world of charades
The puppets twirl and spin and sway
 
Amidst the madness, yet a glimmer of hope
A puppet rebels, no longer bound by the rope
In this theater I will find the way
With some others we will rewrite the play

I guess I've finally understood my role
For I'm more than the puppet they thought I'd be
And now i count to three
No one to control me
I'll free all the puppets I'll see !

One
(no one can stop me)
Two
(no one can stop me)
Three !

J'ouvre les yeux
Il est temps d'y aller
Et de commencer le spectacle
Et même si je n'en ai pas envie
J'entends une voix
Je n'ai pas le choix
Je voulais juste chanter
Et surtout garder mes ailes

J'aurais aimé que tu m'expliques mon rôle
Dans cette pièce je me sens comme une marionnette qui se balance
Et dans ce monde où le chaos fait des ravages
Je vois que des fous tirent les ficelles

Mais si les projecteurs m'aveuglent
Je peux encore décider !
Je cherche un sens
Une chanson avec des rimes
Mais il semble que la raison soit un crime
Et au fond de moi, une âme s'éveille 
Pour une lueur d'espoir
Pour reconquérir la nuit

J'aurais aimé que vous m'expliquiez mon rôle
Dans cette pièce, je me sens comme une marionnette qui se balance
Et dans ce monde où le chaos fait des ravages
Je vois que des fous tirent les ficelles

Et dans cette mascarade
Dans un monde de charades
Les marionnettes tournent, tournent et se balancent
 
Au milieu de la folie, une lueur d'espoir
Une marionnette se rebelle, elle n'est plus liée par la corde
Dans ce théâtre, je trouverai la voie
Avec d'autres, nous réécrirons la pièce

Je crois que j'ai enfin compris mon rôle
Car je suis plus que la marionnette qu'ils pensaient que je serais
Et maintenant je compte jusqu'à trois
Personne pour me contrôler
Je libérerai toutes les marionnettes que je verrai !

Un
(personne ne peut m'arrêter)
Deux
(personne ne peut m'arrêter)
Trois !

'In A Moment' is a smooth jazz piece and just reflects my mood at the time of writing.

Forever

Well no school, no work, no worries! At least for us making another track. But Mr. Grank is on a mission with his dirty pal Rusty. They encounter a mysterious phone booth in the park and Mr.Grank stops to make an important call to a long lost friend of his. What was the number though, the name? Address??? It is strange... Tubs, Fish tanks, Habitats, fire places... these things still have purpose in today's world... but phone booths? long lost friends? They fade into the background and slowly into the void. 
What is this lump in the phone book???
Another one of Mr. Grank's marbles! At least it wasn't all for naught. 

Lost In The Phone Booth Feat. Rusty

Hello everybody,
Has some of you might have known, I had troubles recently : two very long months without being able to listen, share or even comment your new pieces. Its been a long journey and I missed you all so much... Please apologize for this long moment...
But I didn't want to come back with empty hands ! So I took two days to compose the last track of Chromatic (Blue Side) for you !

Been a while, I'm more than happy to be back !

Back From Avalon

Hello. I love different kind of music and try no to stay in a comfortable style. In a song my priorities go to melody and harmony but what counts in the end is the emotional impact of the song. I do everything by myself with my DAW and i am therefore also interested by tips in mixing or on composition. I'd be glad to share advises and receive feedback and comments. Wish you all the joy and pleasure that only music can bring. 

Those who inspired me and who always have a special place in my mind for their whole creation and their wonderful melodies : Alan Parsons Project, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush. I tried some covers to remember some of their songs.

I must say that i am a bit disapointed by GenAI nowadays applied to artistic creation. I think there is already too many sounds on soundcloud that was one of the last place for 'real' artists, i mean human. This is so easy and quick to release something that it will soon overwhelm and discourage all newcomers and I really hate to be cheated by an AI when i listen to a voice. When i was young the promese about robots was to make them do what was painfull and what we dislike (hard and dangerous physical work), but never art ! And now we will soon have machine to have fun and we will keep the hard work 

Thank you for listening.

Anglais ou Français ? Je n'ai pas de préférence pour la musique. Je vois bien que la langue que j'utilise influence ma manière de chanter et le style de la chanson en général et j'aime cette variété. 

Jetez aussi un oeil aux paroles. Elles sont sur toutes les chansons. Si vous souhaitez échanger rejoignez moi sur le Discord francophone de LZMP. Ecrivez moi pour que je vous envoie le lien.
