Une vie dense

Je veux une vie dense
Avec des pas de deux
Plutôt que pas du tout
Tous les jours je relance
Ma volonté de feu
Pour aller jusqu’au bout

Refrain :
Je veux pour nous que la vie danse
Danse, danse tous les jours
Si je faiblis, quelle importance ?
Ça fait partie du parcours
Je veux toujours que la vie danse
Danse, danse tous les jours
Et si c’est toi qui ne suis pas
Je t’apprendrai les pas

Je te prendrai la main
Je te prendrai la taille
Et puis nous danserons
Jusqu’au petit matin
Nous tisserons des mailles
Qui nous rapprocheront
(refrain)

Si jamais je me perds
À force d’être fou
Tu viendras me chercher
Au fond de mes impairs
Si pour toi je suis tout
Tu viendras me sauver

Refrain :
Je veux pour nous que la vie danse
Danse, danse tous les jours
Si je faiblis, quelle importance ?
Ça fait partie du parcours
Je veux toujours que la vie danse
Danse, danse tous les jours
Et si c’est moi qui ne suis pas
C’est toi qui m’apprendras.

A dense life

I want a dense life
With steps of two
Rather than not at all
Every day I raise
My will of fire
To go all the way

Refrain:
I still want my life to dance
Dance, dance every day
If I falter, what does it matter?
It's all part of the journey
I still want my life to dance
Dance, dance every day
And if you don't follow
I'll teach you the steps

I'll take your hand
I'll take your waist
And then we'll dance
Until the morning
We'll weave a web
That will bring us closer
(refrain)

If I ever get lost
By dint of being crazy
You will come to seek me
At the bottom of my blunders
If for you I am everything
You will come to save me

Refrain:
I want for us that life dances
Dance, dance every day
If I falter, what does it matter?
It's all part of the journey
I still want life to dance
Dance, dance every day
And if I'm not the one
It is you who will teach me.

Lyrics

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
I was your hope, and you was mine.

I tried to grasp your pains, your sorrow,
Comforted you in my arms.
Embraced your frightening past and so
Hiding my fears and me behind...

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
You let me down, you might be right.

It’s true i need your love and caring,
To shine through your eyes.
But emptiness sometimes I’m facing,
Help me to realise.

Fighting with myself, fall to the ground.
Waiting for a hand, that I can’t found.

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
I was your hope, and you was mine.

Too late little sunshine,
You are too far in the dark.
Too late little sunshine,
Maybe a light can lead us now...

Too Late Little Sunshine

I've walked the world from front to back and seen a million things
I've scraped my knuckles on the map and held on through the waves
I've taped the eyes of monkeys and rode them till they broke
I've burned the leaves of agony and danced naked in their smoke

I feel ok
It's just the feeling that the end is something I can't escape
I feel insane
Then again a normal mind just sounds a bit too tame.

I've lifted chins and broke girls in, been lovestruck and confused
I've played the role of a superstar and was quickly left diffused
I've rolled up on some players and left them picking sides
I've twisted grins with sappy sins that took them for a ride.

I play the game
Took some lumps and rolled the dice, threw down, and walked away
I sometimes stray
It's in my nature to taste the air and conform to its change

Black-eyes simpletons never know what nightmares lay ahead
Temptation gets the best of them and leaves blisters on the bed
Eventually it'll get to me and take me to the edge
I'll run the distance to the wedge and run thin till I'm dead

I live to fade
I waste away and feed the work that's living in my brain
I taste the pain
In the strangers that I pass each day while I walk against the grain

Black Eyed Simpleton

Lollipops and Lullabies (lyrics)

Your missing penance for the seventh time and it's bound to rain
your heart is aching for the seventh time as you watch it break

Your hand is reaching for the nearest door as you watch it shake
your mind is searching for the freest thought that it just can't make

If I could find a way to break through all the chains about you now
It's just so hard to breath where others simply refuse to see her now

You once were promised such a great reward, and you just can't wait
and all those things you held so dearly close, now you simply hate

Two steps you say goodbye to lollipops and lullabies for now
and there was no one there to idolize or compare to now

Your missing penance for the seventh time and it's bound to rain
your heart is aching for the seventh time as you watch it break

Lollipops & Lullabies - Maya and Daniel (live acoustic version)

Sundowner

This track is the second track that will be featured in the upcoming EP. This track draws inspiration from artists like Nirvana, The Blood Brothers, Lana Del Ray, and Geese. It's an upbeat and energetic track detailing how it feels to long for someone even though you might have seen them recently. And how you can feel ill waiting for your love to return.

Lovesickness

Screamo-Pop reminiscent of At The Drive-In or early Sonic Youth. This is album version of the track.

(Translation above)

Auteur-compositeur de chansons françaises qui n'attendent que de bons interprètes. 
Après des études au conservatoire et musicologie à la Sorbonne, j'ai enseigné l'éducation musicale à des élèves en école élémentaire de 1982 à 2021.

Dès 1989, alors que je découvrais la MAO, j'ai commencé à faire des centaines d'arrangements de chansons pour enfants ou adultes dans tous les styles pour les faire chanter. Cette solide expérience m'a amené dans un premier temps à composer des chansons pour mes élèves. Puis, je me suis lancé dans un répertoire pour adultes. 132 chansons à ce jour !

Mon répertoire va de la danse traditionnelle française (La bourrée du maumarié), à l’EDM (La tête dans les étoiles) en passant par la musique classique (Double concerto pour violon, violoncelle et orchestre à cordes) et la chanson française, le gros du panier, avec le plus souvent cette pointe d’humour qui fait tant défaut aujourd’hui dans beaucoup de chansons, (ce qui est étonnant quand on voit autant d’humoristes fleurir aux six points de l’Hexagone…)

Même si certains apprécient ma façon de chanter, mes chansons sont faites pour de vrais interprètes qui aiment monter sur scène.

Né en 1961 à Paris.

Author-composer and performer... by default of French songs. 
After studying at the Conservatoire and musicology at the Sorbonne, I taught music education to elementary school pupils from 1982 to 2021.

As early as 1989, when I was just discovering computer-assisted music, I started making hundreds of arrangements of songs for children and adults in all styles, to get them to sing along. This solid experience initially led me to compose songs for my students. Then I started working on a repertoire for adults. 132 songs to date!

My repertoire ranges from traditional French dance (La bourrée du maumarié), to EDM (La tête dans les étoiles), classical music (Double concerto for violin, cello and string orchestra) and French chanson, the mainstay of my repertoire, most often with that touch of humor so lacking in so many songs these days (which is astonishing when you see so many humorists flourishing at the six points of the Hexagon...).

Even if some people like the way I sing, my songs are made for real performers who like to get up on stage.

Born in 1961 in Paris.
