Hello, nice people,
I made"Doin' Fine" a time ago and it was one of my first attemps to use effects and sounds like risers etc... 
Now recently I listened again and thought, with some remastering it is a humble attempt, to bring the feeling you have when you're young. 

When your bed stands in the right place of the world, you're mostly "doin’ fine"

lyrics;

When I was 21,  I was doin’ fine
I didn’t have no car but    	 that  was fine
I didn’t have no money but		“
I          “        job				“
“                 House
I didn’t have no job    			Doin’ fine

 
When I was 21 I was doin’ fine
I didn’t have no car but    	 that  was fine
I didn’t have no money but		“
I          “        job				“
“House
I didn’t have no job    			Doin’ fine

Who needs a car
 always someone drivin’ you no matter how far
I was Doin’ fine

When I was 21 I was doin’ fine
(….)

Only 21 Don’t miss the fun

Always someone to take care of me
Always someone to pay the bills for me

Don’t want a job
Always time enough to work my but off
Time enough to work my but of
Doin’ fine

Don’t need  a house no way 

no way 			no way 
that means I have to stay on a permanent way
								Only 21 doin’ fine

Don’t need  a house 
no way 
that means I have to stay on a permanent way

the world is my home

Doin' Fine   remastered

This is one of those songs, you just had to get off your chest! All of you creatives will understand that. Its not the hippest or the coolest song , even the music  is understated and the production is lacking, but the words are where the heart is .

Thank you for all of your wonderful plays playlists and shares, very much appreciated!

Old Time Fun Song

Whole - Tone Surf

8. The Change - Thoughts at lightspeed  Valentino

A few things to say. I composed this song in 1982, fresh from reading of 'War and Peace'. Now I find a certain youthful verbiage in the lyrics, the song (naked and raw) has a 70s style. The recording of voice and guitar (live) is a few years old, rather sloppy, with bad mixing and excessive application of echo in some places.
To try to rescue it from its obvious banality, and to hide some of the errors and flaws, I've been arranging it these days using some vocal sampling as well, hoping to make it somewhat interesting.

English lyrics (rough translation)

The French counted the stars under Austerlitz
there had never seen so many fires lit in just one night
memories suspended in the winter, as cold as their hands
they had never been so pale, so skinny and far away
the emperor was dreaming or perhaps not sleeping
a woman he was waiting for in that night 
a war that was not waiting for him

the soldiers sang the cannons were silent
inside the chariots at the bottom of the plain 
the stars chased each other
the emperor drank, drank or maybe got drunk
a woman killed that night
a woman who smiled
the drunken emperor was looking
at that woman he did not know
Paris shrouded in a circle of smoke that was moving away

Paris woman dressed in black
Paris bride then already withered
Paris daughter of old Europe
Paris already betrayed
Paris bride dressed in dark
Paris woman then already grown up
Paris daughter of old Europe
Paris already lost

The French counted the wounded under Austerlitz
there had never seen so crosses hung in just one night
Suspended fragments of anger, hot as their hands
they had never been so pale, so alone and far away
the emperor was sleeping now he was dreaming
a woman who appeared that night 
a war that resembled him

the soldiers were silent the cannons smoked
in the hearts and at the bottom of the plain the voices hid 
the emperor drank, he drank now he got drunk
a woman he loved on that night
that woman frightened him
the drunken emperor was looking
that woman he recognised
Paris at the centre of a circle of light that drew closer

Paris woman dressed in white
Paris young frightened bride
Paris mother of new Europe
Paris already betrayed
Paris bride dressed in white
Paris woman then already grown up
Paris mother of new Europe
Paris already lost

Prisme

Perception (Reception)

M'Z, is a solo project shaped by a wide variety of music :
Canterbury, Progressive, Rock in opposition, Metal, Electronica, Space rock, Noise, Jazz, free-rock, Ambient, Psyche, Heavy, Punk, Drum'n bass...

My name is Mathieu Torres and I am also a guitarist and composer in various artistic projects:
La théorie des cordes / Zhorhann / The diogenes / Matziz / Dirt in the wind / Urban BallShit / Inland Motel / Collectif La Barraque / Aux arts etc / Dirt and Cpu / no Skeletons / composer of music for the image...

The driving idea of ​​this particular project is to create parallels between poetic or philosophical concepts and music, without setting aesthetic barriers.

Born from the vital need to create, at the end of 2017, M'Z has since performed around fifty dates (Streets/Markets/Café-concerts (Cave a rock - L'usine à musique - Le Maquis - Red turtle café...)/Festivals (Résistance/Semaine jaune...)Off /Marciac - Bourges / Various support concerts...)
and released 4 albums, 1 EP and 2 singles which received very good press
(Diego Pinheiro Review - ProfilProg - Athos di MAT2020 - Autopoeitican - COREandCO webzine - AM: Plified - areARock - Mazik - Plus PROG de Vous - Eternal Terror - L'oreille à l'envers - Exposé . org - DPRP . net - The Elite Extremophile - Litzic...)

"Prisme" the first album, made the link between Colors, feelings and Music,

"L'autopsie du dogme" the second, attacked the music industry while working to analyze dogma in general and psychoanalyzing the members of M'Z in this quagmire in passing,

"Cool is watching you" (EP) was interested in demolishing, in music and lyrics, the idea of ​​the "Cool" posture that seems to be a norm in the era of social networks and the "start-upized" world

"La Nef" (single) as for it, tried to extract a source, more or less healthy, of the need for human spirituality, when it is freed from religious doctrines
"Hympécita" (single) paid tribute to an animal friend.

"La Civilisation de la Graine" the third was a musical reflection on the essence of our patriarchal organizations and our tendency to organize ourselves into civilizations, certainly elegant but undeniably unjust, ephemeral, violent and rickety. 8 pieces to try to analyze these phenomena.

And finally 'Emancipés du Vides ?'(emancipated from the void?) The fourth album, is a melancholic reflection on our emotional abysses, on the difficulty of extricating ourselves from our various attractions for nothingness, our inability to look at the mental waste that we produce without going through the guilt box, a critique of normalization, of the conformism of the hollow positivism praised by our overly marketed minds in search of the fastest path to "A Meaning". Finally, it symbolizes the vital necessity of finding our lost naivety.
