Première pensée   (Translated after French text )
Vidéo :  https://youtu.be/NYPOfarT2w0
Texte et chant : Muette
Musique : Alain Illos

Dans le vase de mon cœur
L’amour est à ras bord.
Dans le tien, une fleur
T'offre une nouvelle aurore.
Dans le sol de mon cœur
S’est ouverte une crevasse.
Le tien, d’heure en heure,
Se durcit et se tasse.
Dans la salle de bain
Où j'me rends présentable,
Je n'me trouve plus aimable
Et je te cherche en vain.
Mes yeux n’ont pas compris,
Immobiles dans la glace,
Butés comme des impasses,
Et ce corps inutile...
Quand viendra-t-il ce jour
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton langage,
Où ma première pensée
N'aura pas ton visage,
Où ma première pensée
Sera d'boire un café ?
Je voudrais comme toi
Etre hors la loi d’amour,
Mais je suis condamnée
A te faire vivre toujours.
Je voudrais comme toi
Faire juste un demi-tour
Et t’avoir oublié.
Dis-moi comment tu fais.


First thought

In the vase of my heart
Love is overflowing.
In yours, a flower
Offers you a new dawn.
In the soil of my heart
A crack has opened.
Yours, hour by hour,
Hardens and settles.
In the bathroom
Where I make myself presentable,
I no longer find myself lovable
And I search for you in vain.
My eyes have not understood,
Motionless in the mirror,
Stubborn like dead ends,
And this useless body...
When will that day come
When my first thought
Will not be of you,
When my first thought
Will not be your face,
When my first thought
Will be to drink a coffee?
I would like, like you,
To be outside the law of love,
But I am condemned
To keep you alive forever.
I would like, like you,
To just turn around
And forget you.
Tell me how you do it.

Première pensée avec Muette

The song Gathered was originally written by the wonderful guitarist David Dunham, who is not only an outstanding musician but also a good friend of mine. Some time ago, David asked if I could imagine rearranging and re-recording the piece. Since I’ve always been inspired by his music, my answer was an immediate yes!

From the very first listen, I knew this was a truly special and beautiful song — a wedding song filled with warmth, celebration, and deep emotion. The theme fascinated me right away, especially because I had never worked on a song like this before.

At the same time, I realized it wouldn’t be an easy task. I had boldly told David that I could imagine turning his original 4/4-time piece into a version in 6/8 time.

I also wanted to include something that reflects what David loves most — his Irish roots. That’s how a new arrangement came to life: a rhythmic, Irish-inspired folk song with subtle progressive elements.

To bring the idea to life, I reached out to my good friend Mike Fox, who thankfully agreed right away. Mike contributed his guitar playing and his fantastic vocals, adding a unique and special character to the song.

The result is a version of Gathered that honors David’s original, celebrates love and connection, and reflects our shared musical expression.

Double Vision

Dystopian dream (Night edit)

I was today (3 Nov 2025) listening to music of friends in SC. The intriguing title of this instrumental brought some ideas to my mind, namely the odd situation of the Colorado river. Rusty was kind enough to allow me to try them. Still somewhat crude. I'll improve the mix as time permits.

*** RIVER MUSIC ***

By definition,
introverted rivers are the rivers that don't make it to the sea.
Victims of abuse and climate change,
they thirst along the way
and perish in the dry river beds.
What a strange vision…
They have no mouth. They don't complain. 
They just fade away in the arid landscapes.
But maybe someday we'll have to face
the revenge of the oceans.

Coffee ☕ 

I'm awake dear world...
Where's the dose?
I'm twitching
In need of that warm dark roast
I've been watching this kettle forever boil
Breathe dear boy
Oh grounds
Calm turmoil
We're there
Now pour
Oh mighty morning fix
Check favourite mug
1 sugar now mix
Hmmm
We have our fag
We have our brew
Now into the garden you addict you...

Relief, I'm real, I'm alive, I'm numb
Course through my veins
Cure caffeine come
Tame my bark
Aww save my kids
Brew brave my stark
Snaps get their lid
First of too many
Through this day
From sip to sip
Awww keep hitting that grey
The cure of coffee
The seed of sane
Flicking mind bean
Timed happy pain

Caffeine to brain
Coffee my sane
Caffeine to brain
Coffee my sane

Coffee

Lay down your burdens
Leave your troubles behind
Let go to the worries
That bother your mind

Save all those tears
For those waisted years
Look for the light
That even shines
in the darkest night

Still you can feel
Warm blood in your veins
And a longing for love
That always remains
Until the end of time 
Until the end of time

Find you a man
And give him all the love that you can
Your heart's still the same
And to give it up
It's such a crying shame

Still you can feel
Warm blood in your veins
And that longing for love
That always remains
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time

Until The End Of Time

I'm a singer/songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
The guitar is my main instrument. 
But I enjoy to have fun with other instruments too.
My songs are organic and mostly acoustic based.
I guess they could be described as a blend of folk, country, blues and world music.
And I haven't written my best song yet. That's what keeps me going.
Please be my guest,  have a listen and write me a comment if you like.
