Un morceau empreint de fierté, d'espoir et de mémoire, idéal pour ceux qui vibrent au rythme de la grande histoire québécoise.

Un Peuple Fier

Rainfall and a haunting melody, born from the ecological devastation wrought by Vale's Rio Doce catastrophe. A predicted tragedy, echoing through communities surrounding Brazil's mines.

It’s gonna rain, the dry land will soak.
It’s coming down, the dam will provoke.
It’s the law, we’ll pay the toll.

It’s gonna burn if the earth gets too hot.
We’re gonna lose if the water won’t drop.
It’s the law, don’t let it rot.

Can we still believe in this land,
That elects mining tycoons as eco-grads?
Miners who killed the people,
Who killed the rivers’ soul,
Who turned into mud what God once made whole.

Is it worth it? Will it be worth it?

Rise again, from ashes to bloom.
Learn to care, before it’s our doom.
To live, to breathe.
To live, to breathe.

Without nature, life will fade.
If we don’t start now, nothing will be saved.

Bad Things

Bad Things (Solo)

Personne n'est atteint du syndrome de l'imposteur ici, mais il existe de  vrais imposteurs qu'on peut  croiser parfois...
No one here suffers from imposter syndrome, but there are genuine imposters all around, and we sometimes encounter one of them...

TRANSLATION - THE IMPOSTOR
I'm this close to confessing everything
I ‘ve nothing to do with it 
It was all fake, rigged, cunning
I did nothing wrong, but I did nothing right 

I thought It was totally in my wheelhouse 
but this time I must admit
It's just a web of lies
I might give up as well

I'm this close to going to confession
To tell everything to the first one to go by
But if someone coax me a little
I hold on to my bad faith, and it works

I thought It was totally in my wheelhouse 
but this time I must admit
It's just a web of lies
I might give up as well

By twisting the truth in my brain
I ended up believing my own nonsense
Pious wishes / head in the clouds / time has come
To resume my life as an impostor

L'imposteur (with translation)

Price of Freedom

A soulful folk ballad with clear vocals, gentle guitar, and whistle-like melodies. Dreamy and close to nature, it tells a quiet and atmospheric story of hope and memory in the traditional British song tradition.

Echos from the Glen

When the Lark Sings High

An electrifying track about Berlin nightlife – feminine, wild, seductive. Synth bass, club groove, and siren-like melodies form an urban soundscape. The song celebrates Berlin as a vibrant, intangible icon of the night.

She's the City (Berlin Nightlife)

An atmospheric, rhythmically accented cover of the traditional Irish folk song. Acoustic guitar and vocals give the song a raw, honest pub atmosphere. The sound remains true to the original, yet sounds fresh and playful - perfect for a pint at the bar with some music.

Hello! 
I'm Ricky Helfgen, a passionate guitarist and singer from the picturesque town of Illingen in Saarland, Germany. For 35 years, music has been my loyal companion, guiding me through countless moments of joy and inspiration. Now, I'm thrilled to embark on a new adventure: My Acoustic Project. This journey, which began in June 2023 with the release of my song 'On the Sea,' is an exciting exploration of new melodies and musical landscapes. I create both instrumental pieces and singer-songwriter compositions. While the destination remains a mystery, the path is filled with endless possibilities. I can't wait to see where the music will take me next. I would be delighted if you would join me on this journey.
