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!

André Gide disait "Que l'importance soit dans ton regard, non dans la chose regardée." Cette chanson en est une illustration à travers la pluie qu'on peut voir comme triste. À moins qu'on sache voir entre les gouttes...

				       À Leny

Quel temps fait-il entre les gouttes ?

Y a ceux qui voient toujours le verre
À moitié vide
À moitié plein
Y a ceux qui voient toujours l’hiver
Saison frigide
Saison de rien

Refrain :
Quel temps fait-il entre les gouttes,
Là où le ciel ne pleure pas ?
Moi, je me dis sans doute, sans doute,
Que la réponse dépend de toi…
Quel temps fait-il entre les gouttes,
Là où le ciel ne pleure pas ?
Moi, je me dis sans doute, sans doute,
Qu’un p’tit bonheur sa cache là.

Y a ceux qui voient toujours la Terre
Soit tout en blanc,
Soit tout en noir.
Y a ceux qui voient ceux qui espèrent
Vendeurs de vent,
Vendeurs d’espoirs.
(refrain)

Y a ceux qui croient que la misère
Se compte en banque,
Se compte en rien.
Y a ceux qui voient tout en colère
Cœur à la manque
Cœur tout éteint

André Gide said, “Let the importance be in your gaze, not in the thing you gaze upon.” This song illustrates this through the rain, which can be seen as sad. Unless you know how to see between the raindrops...
	                                To Leny

What's the weather like between the raindrops?

There are those who always see the glass
Half empty
Half full
There are those who always see winter
A frigid season
A season of nothing

Chorus :
What's the weather like between the raindrops,
Where the sky doesn't cry?
I tell myself, no doubt, no doubt,
That the answer depends on you...
What's the weather like between the raindrops,
Where the sky doesn't cry?
I tell myself, no doubt, no doubt,
That a little happiness is hiding there.

There are those who always see the Earth
Either all white,
Or all black.
There are those who see those who hope
Sellers of wind,
Sellers of hope.
(chorus)

There are those who believe that misery
Is counted in the bank,
Is counted as nothing.
There are those who see everything with anger,
Heart missing,
Heart completely extinguished.

Quel temps fait-il entre les gouttes ?

IM-WEARY

A lovely May.
You peaked too soon, my summer child.
Alive? 
Just trying to get by.
With a smile inside my eyes.
Ignore the scars.
Acting hard.

You're on a beach.
A weever fish/your feet.
You try to eat a peach.
But those things are bloody hard.
You can't look upon the stars in summertime.
Don't ask why.

I've been on the scene.
I've been in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the wane.
I've been home again.
Nobody'll listen what I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

Another day.
You'll want for nothing summer child.
Arrived.
At always the right time.
You didn't recognise it was your salad days.
Within the haze.

You're out of reach.
You can not hear my speech.
You've nothing left to teach.
Condescending meek.
You wouldn't wait another week.
To run away.
Run away.

Not part of a team.
Living in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways..
Swept me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
There's no escape.

Singing in the rain.
From heaven to the drain.
Nobody'll listen when I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the scene.
I've been in a dream.
I've let people down in many ways.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped in the machine.
I can't escape.

I've been on the wane.
I've been home again.
Nobody'll listen when I say.
Sweep me off my feet.
Trapped by the machine.
I can't escape.
There's no way.
