I don't respond to likes, I only respond to feedback. Likes mean nothing, they achieve nothing, feedback is by far the best to give support, it increases and maintains the visibility of posts, which results in more visitors come to the page, and that, in turn, results in more feedback. To me a LIKE with no accompanying feedback is saying, your tunes isn't good enough for me to leave a comments, your music isn't as good as mine, so don't waste your time clicking like if you don't think my tunes are worthy of feedback because I will ignore it. 
A like without feedback could also mean, you never actually listened at all; either way, I find it insulting so ignore it, but if you do leave feedback I will show you the same respect, listen to your tunes and leave feedback!

I started writing Know Me Better in June 2024, right after listening to Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. I was deeply inspired by its simple yet catchy melodies, but more importantly, by the way she tells a story or conveys a message through her songs. I wanted to create something in that vein, so I sat down at the piano, and the melody came to me surprisingly fast. The lyrics followed just as naturally—Know Me Better felt like an instinctive expression.

With this song, I wanted to explore the theme of appearances and superficiality, especially as portrayed on social media. I wanted to question what it truly means to be understood… But from the first sketches to a fully realized track, the journey was long, and it took the collaboration of several amazing talents to bring it to life.

Once the song was written and produced (by the end of August), I started looking for the perfect singer—and that’s when I found Jaime Deraz. I can’t thank her enough for lending her incredible talent and giving the song its true voice.

Then, after recording Jaime’s stunning vocals, my friend Freddie from MTM Productions stepped in to professionally mix and master the track.

Jaime and Freddie, an enormous THANK YOU to both of you for bringing so much to this project—it wouldn’t have been the same without you!

By The Way             (Translated after the French text )
Texte et chant : Muette
Musique : Alain Illos

T’as vu, d’puis quelques temps,
J'te prends plus dans mes bras.
Lorsque tu rentreras,
Tu trouv'ras dans l'frigo
Un gigot piqué d'ail.
By the way, faut qu'j'm’en aille.

Je s'rai plus là dimanche
Mais embrasse tes parents
Qui m'aimaient bien je crois.
Dis-leur qu'c'est moi qui flanche,
Que c'est moi la méchante.
By the way, je m'en vais,

Avec le minimum,
Sans meubles et puis sans homme
Aux angles obtus et durs.
Je m'en vais habiter
Une maison sans murs.
By the way, j'en suis sûre.

Le linge est repassé,
La vaisselle est rangée.
Je n'ai pas su ôter
La petite poussière
Qui t'avait recouverte.
By the way, j’fais place nette.

J'ai beaucoup réfléchi
Mais tes mots sont du bruit
Qui ne frappent plus au cœur
Mais seul'ment au tympan
Et je sais qu'il est temps.
By the way, il est l’heure.

By The Way

You've seen, for a while now,
I can't hold you anymore.
When you come home
You'll find in the fridge
A leg of lamb spiked with garlic.
By the way, I've got to go.

I won't be here on Sunday
But give your parents a kiss
I think they liked me.
Tell them I'm the one who's flinching,
I'm the bad guy.
By the way, I'm leaving,

With the bare minimum,
No furniture and no man
With hard obtuse angles.
I'm going to live
A house without walls.
By the way, I'm sure of it.

The laundry is ironed,
The dishes are put away.
I haven't been able to remove
The little dust
That covered you.
By the way, I'm tidying up.

I've thought a lot
But your words are noise
That no longer strike at the heart
But only to the eardrum
And I know it's time.
By the way, it's time

By The Way  avec Muette

when I first met you baby
standing under the streetlight
smoking a cigarette
she asked me if she needed a light 
I knew that I had found a woman
a woman make me feel alright
you dont seem to understand baby
I need more than just a night 
need more than a night
wanna be your lovin man
lovin man 
but Ive been stone walled
Ive been stone walled 
been stone walled 
-----------------------
Ive been stone walled-------
-----------------------
yea baby
driving all night 
pouring rain 
just to see your face again
baby
Ive been stone walled
baby Ive been stoned walled 
----------------------------
solo
----------------------------
baby Ive been stone walled
--------------------------
baby Ive been stone walled

STONE WALLED

Coastal Path (2024) Anthology CD5 Track 05

What did you make with

"Sakura" means cherry. This song on cherry is composed of three parts: blossoms bloom in April, leaves and fruits grow in May, and trees grow more by rain in June. The theme of this song is that cherries have energy to prepare for next steps even after blossoms blooming though people care about only flowers.

(My song " SAKURA" is the newly mixed down version of this  song .)

keywords: cherry, inspiring, mc-909, 123BPM, progressive, original, sequencer

Nananana Makes Me Feel So Good    feat.  Hans Albers on guitar ( Prod. Lillithe)

Short songster song about loneliness in the city I wrote 20 years ago.

Now I've given a jazzy feel in 6/4 to the unique strophe which has only chords E & Em, transitioning to 4/4 rhythm towards the unique 'refrain' line, with up to 3 different chords!

All but drums are 'organic' tracks: bass, pocket sax, guitars and voice.

Translated Lyrics:

Combatir la soledad,  /  To fight loneliness, 
nada fácil a mi edad.  /  not at all easy at my age.
Ser comido por la ciudad,  /  To be eaten by the city, 
combatir la soledad.  /  to fight loneliness.

Quiero creer que estarás en casa esta noche  /  I want to believe you'll be at home tonight.

Brokenhearted Bass

Sadder Still By Tainted Icarus
Lyrics:

And I'm made sad, oh by your world
And I'm made sad, by a girl

And I'm made sad, from the things you choose to say
And I'm made sad, from the ignorance on display

Sadder Still
Sadder Still

Open my mind, just like a book
Flipping page after page, for what I've overlooked

Sum of my fear and how it seems strange
Your pointing your finger, screaming how I have changed

And I feel
Yeah I feel

Sadder still
Sadder still

And I'm still sad, oh by your world
And I'm sad, by the girl

And yeah I feel
Yeah I feel

Sadder still
Sadder still
Sadder still

Notes:  A trip off the beaten path.  A lot could be said about this piece but sometimes life just hurts and from the first note penned it was about excising something dark.

For those of you stopping by for a second time to see the finished project... a heart felt thank you for the love and support!

Peace and love my brothers and sisters!
