Loading this track for myself. It was already posted on Stephane's page - https://soundcloud.com/ddjohn/born-somewhere-feat-kathleen-igor-john-julien

Thanks to all the wonderful musicians who participated in this sound journey!

I just want to emphasize that I played all alone the whole backing track just 2 times and sent those 2 takes to Steph as an example(!) of my ideas, awaiting his response like "play this and that here and there", but Steph accepted them as real parts :-)) He editied out something making room for other instruments and that's it.

Steph's description -

==================================================
This track has been possible thanks to the help of artists from USA/Russia/Germany/France on the base of a simple base track with leading ideas of giving tribute to French authors/composers Maxime Leforestier and Claude Nougaro's wonderful melodies (see links herebelow) supporting awareness on important issues at their time ...and nowadays still it seems .... Further melodic routes were found by all through musical interactions ... 
I feel I owe so much recognition to these great artists who understood my first musical ideas ...and pushed them to a height I would never had imagined :)

@kat330 for her singing (I love her idea of evoking native americans incantations)
@joerxworx whose sax is so soulful and who plays so well with other instruments (clarinet in particular which he understands and plays very well ;-)
@project-managers-trio : (Igor) for his amazing satrianesque/pagesque guitar solos 
@jules-keys-1 : for his amazing duduk play (armenian oboe)
@johnbodi : for fantastic classic/jazzy colors added with the piano
Wonderful graphic image from : JT Lindroos

I'm the one behind all this, I play all other real (including rythmic guitar and my brother's old trumpet ! ..) or vst instruments ..; I have been so happy to mix everyone's inputs

My lyrics:
Verse 1:
With the scarlet signature of dawn,
The world's been crisscrossed.
Over the hills there, in the distance,
Again a purple feast is ongoing

Two waves've come running
They are armor-clad
All the spaces and worlds 
Have been put to fire

Chorus:
Ah! How beautiful is the battle for life
The battle for life bursts into the sky
Like a whirlwind a lightning beam 
Rips it up
Between the torn clouds

Verse 2:
But like a reflection
Between the walls of houses
The battle is ongoing between us
For thousands of centuries
The rivers of blood ruin again 
The shores of life
Everyone sees a new enemy
In a friend

Chorus:
Ah, how terrifying is the battle for life
It's a roar of the battle for life
The eruption of evil has shaken the earth 
As an autocratic judge
Is the Battle for Life

Куплет 1:
Красным росчерком зари
Перечёркнут мир
За холмами там, вдали,
Вновь багряный пир -
Две волны сбегаются
Вжатые в броню
Все пространства и миры
Преданы огню

Припев 1
А-а, как прекрасна битва за жизнь
В небо врывается битва за жизнь
Вихрем её разрывает молнии луч
Среди разорванных туч

Куплет 2:
Но как отражение 
Среди стен домов
Бой идёт меж нами
Тысячи веков
Реки крови снова рушат
Жизни берега
Каждый видит в друге
Нового врага

Припев 2:
А-а, как ужасна битва за жизнь
Это грохочет битва за жизнь
От извержения зла содрогнулась земля
Как самовластный судья
Битва за жизнь

Battle For Life (Instrumental)
