Hati Yang Tersakiti

Cintaimu

Simple Things is a song I wrote in 2015, when I was in a pretty weird period of transition after having finished my studies, trying to find my way earning my living as a musician. 

It's about enjoying the most simple things in life, in contrast with always searching for more and more, to experiment the deepest sensations and to realise our craziest dreams, which can lead to frustration, sensations of emptiness and never-ending insatisfaction. 
Earnest and truest joys actually find themselves in the simplest things we live every day. Eating good stuff, sharing laughs with friends, enjoying the beauty of nature, taking a walk, sitting in the sun, playing or listening to music, exchanging a quick smile with a stranger... These things seem so common but yet are the consistent gifts we can appreciate. 

This song still deeply resonates today as I often go through periods where I struggle with expectations and desires, and is a calling to refocus on the beauty of our lives with gratitude.

A home-made version of Simple Things was released on this same soundcloud page back in 2015. To get it "officially" released, I re-recorded the voices in studio conditions and had it mixed by my friend Quentin Benizeau, which I thank very much. The guitar you hear is the original part I home-recorded. You can have fun comparing the two versions if you'd like to hear the differences!

I very much hope you'll enjoy listening to this song!

Fairytale (Acoustic Version)

In the desert, there are mysteries,  
Someday, there will be altars.  
Questions are seeds,  
And answers, their stars.  
They dance in the chaos that surrounds,  
Revealing beautiful forms.  
Questions are seeds,  
And answers, their stars.

The War

Wanderin' Flames evokes a poignant journey through memory, loss, and longing, themes that resonate profoundly with veterans. The song’s vivid imagery—of winding rivers, whispering leaves, and haunting echoes—mirrors the emotional landscape many veterans navigate after service. It reflects the search for belonging and peace amid the shadows of past experiences, symbolised by the "fire you stole away," representing both sacrifice and the enduring hope for renewal. The bittersweet melody captures the complexity of healing, acknowledging that while time can smooth wounds, it cannot fully erase them. This song honours the resilience and emotional depth veterans carry as they journey toward home—both physical and spiritual.
