I also believe that your music is religious in its essence. It heals.

This miraculous song is another firm favourite of mine. It transcends and touches the depths of essential truth. The song is based on a prayer chanted in Hebrew on the day of Atonement, the day one has to stand solemnly before the judge. ‘Who by Fire’, like the prayer that inspired it, solemnly calls out the different ways we might die, some by fire, some by water, some by slow decay. Cohen adds his poetic wit to the chant with the line at the end of every verse: ‘Who shall I say is calling?’
 
I realised, after having written it, that my song, ‘Time of Nought’, was inspired by this extraordinary song and had I never heard ‘Who by Fire’ I most certainly would not have written it. I read that Leonard Cohen described his songs as muffled prayers; sometimes I think of my songs as religious music for non-believers so perhaps we have a little something in common, at the very least in the way a pupil might look up to his master.

EveryDayRebellion OST NewYork

Le Vent Nous Portera [Noir Désir]
Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien

Le vent l'emportera

Ton message à la grande ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
A l'instantané de velours
Même s'il ne sert à rien

Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

La caresse et la mitraille
Cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain

Le vent les portera

Génétique en bandoulière
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant lui

Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

Ce parfum de nos années mortes
Ceux qui peuvent frapper à ta porte
Infinité de destin
On en pose un, qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?

Le vent l'emportera

Pendant que la marée monte
Et que chacun refait ses comptes
J'emmène au creux de mon ombre
Des poussières de toi

Le vent les portera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

I started out as a painter writing music on the side and then I ended up writing songs and painting on the sly. If my songs were maps I'd want them to stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the plains of the Mediterrannean.
Most of the time, I release my music on my own label Beating Drum.
I've collaborated with many wonderful artists and musicians over the years, amongst them, Vincent Segal, Ballake Sissoko, Ben Harper, Ibrahim Maalouf and Rokia Traore and more.
