Lost in your laughter

When fear has its hold on you
You’ll feel it’s chill before the warmth
(Before the warmth you’ll feel the chill…)
But if you let it take hold
Hold you it will
For as long as you get comfort from its embrace
It will hold you close (hold yiu close)
And steal your will
Your will. (Your will)

Hold on
Hold on
Emergency crews reported on the scene
Repeat and repeat again
Until numbness takes control
Fly away. Let go. Never to return
To the you, you used to know

Repeat and repeat again
Until numbness takes control
Fly away. Let go. Never to return
(To the you, you used to know)

The stress kills
Calm down they say
But the pills they gave me
Take my confidence away
I want them to comfort me
And perhaps they do
But the numbness invades my every move

Hold on
Hold on
Emergency crews reported on the scene
Repeat and repeat again
Until numbness takes control
Fly away. Let go. Never to return
To the you, you used to know
When fear has its hold on you
You’ll feel it’s chill before the warmth
But if you let it take hold
Hold you it will
For as long as you get comfort from its embrace
It will hold you close
And steal your will
Steal your will
Your will
(Your will) 
(Steals you)

Its November And Its Late

“A Song No One Hears” is a tender and introspective acoustic folk ballad, baroque in tone and lyrical in spirit. Set against soft fingerpicked guitar and delicate strings, it tells the story of a song meant for no one—and yet sung with quiet conviction. Melancholic yet warm, the music captures the quiet power of expression, even when unheard. It is a gentle ode to solitude, memory, and the unseen resonance of the soul.

Un souffle d’âme un hommage à Nicole Croisille
En fouillant dans mes archives studio, je suis retombé sur une vieille maquette, restée discrète, presque oubliée, qui date de 1984. 
En la réécoutant, une évidence s’est imposée : ce souffle musical portait déjà en lui quelque chose de fragile, lumineux, intemporel.
De cette archive est né cet hommage à Nicole Croisille, une artiste dont la voix a toujours su faire vibrer l’indicible.
Pour moi ce morceau s’est imposé naturellement comme un hommage. Parce que sa voix, dans sa justesse et sa profondeur, savait toucher ce que les mots n’arrivent pas toujours à dire. 
Parce qu’elle a chanté l’émotion sans artifice, avec sincérité.
“Un souffle d’âme” est une chanson simple, mais habitée. Elle parle de cette présence invisible qui reste, même quand le silence s’installe. 
Elle est devenue, avec le recul, une manière discrète de lui dire merci.
Bien musicalement

Un souffle d’âme - Hommage à Nicole Croisille

So, Mi Amor

Ek raak verlore
in 'n druppel in my glas
Ek volg die spore
Van wie ek gister was
Die gesig in die spieël
Lyk vaagweg bekend
Met 'n skreeu in die siel
Verf hy n donker prent

En sien jy hoe ek wegglip
En sien jy hoe ek wegglip vanaand
Ek kan nie meer oor die rand sien nie
Sien jy hoe ek wegglip vanaand

Ek raak weer verlore
in 'n druppel in my glas
Ek jaag die mens
Wie ek gister was
Maar die wonde van my trane
Is 'n halsband om my nek
As ek probeer weghol
Word ek net terug getrek

En sien jy hoe ek wegglip
En sien jy hoe ek wegglip vanaand
Ek kan nie meer oor die rand sien nie
Sien jy hoe ek wegglip vanaand

Die vlam brand uit
En die kole verduister
Met 'n stem in my kop 
Vir wie ek altyd luister
Hy sien hoe ek val
Maar hy tel my nooit weer op nie
As dit hoe die lewe is
Dis dit dalk nie 'n flop nie

En sien jy hoe ek wegglip
En sien jy hoe ek wegglip vanaand
Ek kan nie meer oor die rand sien nie
Sien jy hoe ek wegglip vanaand

Wegglip

Szept wiatru

Style note: Spiritual, almost hymnal, with piano and subtle strings. A slow build, from vulnerability to an uplifting chorus. Lyrics are introspective and intimate.


When the world grows quiet,
I hear the silence that knows me best.
It holds all the words I never spoke,
A gentle weight inside my chest.

The silence that knows me
carries every sorrow,
It sings me to sleep
and meets me tomorrow.

There’s comfort in darkness,
In secrets I cannot confess.
But silence holds me without judgment,
It’s the one who forgives,
and forgets.

The silence that knows me
carries every sorrow,
It sings me to sleep
and meets me tomorrow.

The Silence That Knows Me
