RELAXING MELODIES

To all the Lilous around the world... first and foremost, to mine ❤️

Your name is all I need to be free, to be real
You're all that cares to me, all I need, all I feel

I can't go back to where I once was
They cannot change me but it's all I know

O My Lilou, you're all I want, and I love you

So glad I'm waking up to your voice in the morning
I can do anything to be your slave

Got me thinking about the days to come
I want to trust, I want to lose control

O My Lilou, you're all I want, and I love you

'Cause there's so much in you, get me crazy
All about you, oh my Lilou
Ain't nobody loves you, like me baby

(Oh my Lilou, oh oh my Lilou)

Don't tell me you leave 'cause there'll never be enough love
Everyday and every night, together we'll fly so high

(Oh my Lilou, oh oh my Lilou)

We never coming back no more
Oh, my Lilou, you're all I want and I love you

'Cause there's so much in you
(Oh, my Lilou, oh oh my Lilou)
Oh, my Lilou
It's all about you
My Lilou
It's all about
(Oh je suis trop belle)

I wanna feel alive, but I've never been damn good
'Cause I don't wanna waste your time
Since you left, I lost my drive
To face another day and climb

It's always been too good to last
And I spoke to my heart in vain
Tears and joy are the mix of the past
And now my mind's a hurricane

Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
But I need to check into rehab
You saved me for the rest of the day hey hey
I'm okay to sit right by your side

I've been chasing after the feeling
Of something that I can't describe
I'm holding on but I am reeling
And my soul is trying to revive

Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
But I need to check into rehab (ahhh)
You saved me for the rest of the day hey hey
I'm okay to sit right by your side

J'fais une mélodie même si rien ne m'attend
J'fume du shit et j'vois c'est comme ça que j'mène la vie à fond
De base j'étais mal parti toute façon
J'me perd, plus en plus de mélodies bressons

J'pete mon crane sur une mélodie, plus envie que ça s'finisse
J'pete mon crane sur une mélodie, plus envie que ça s'finisse
Là je kiffe à fond, comme dire fuck à son patron, ouai

Worries and Fears (Ft JiMi)

How do I feel
Every time the sky is blue
Do I see there's a new day
After every night I've spent thinking
About you I cry
You'll never tell me why
My tear is dry
I've tried to do
The best for you and me
After all illusion
I'm still in an ordinary life
And if I take a chance
Would you leave me to change
My tear is dry
It seems to be nothing
For you to get that way
I really don't know
Where the story is going to
And if it's going nowhere,
And if you're going away
♪
What could you do
If I don't fear you
If I get you nothing
Just leave you floating in the air
Until you die, you'll never lie
What did you show me
What did you show me
What did you
What did you show me
What did you show me
What did you

I'll Be

Stalking in the night I don't know what to do
Looking through the window I am waving at you
Then you see me and I can feel all that you feel
You know it's not the first time I'm snooping around you
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay
Walking in your tights I don't know if it is right
I'm sure we've got so much to share together tonight
Why you're always slipping through the hands of your dreams
Let me have a look in your room, where is your bed now
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay
Don't you know I want to come in come in
Just because you are too fine
So warm, too fine
So warm, too
Count the days 'till my conviction life behind bars
Russell didn't bank on this when he wrote my stars
Oh maybe should I learn to keep my love in my pants
Or not because within the stalker always around you
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay with me baby
Don't you know I want to come in come in
Just because you are too fine
I'm walking in your tights
I don't know if it's right
I'm sure that we have so much
To share together tonight

You complain every day
With a big fat bomb in the ashtray
You say you wanna a revolution
But you bow to the institution
Your hair is perfect like the divine Juliet
Where were you at the protest let me guess
You didn't want to get wet
You talk about things changing
But you camp on your floor, far from the door, you do
You do think your word is enough
But you talk for nothing, the clock is ticking
You talk about peace in the world
But first fill your big pockets
Your goal is a recording in New York
But you will never exceed your block
Your hair is perfect like the divine Juliet
Where were you at the protest let me guess
You didn't want to get wet
When you think you're number one
You come far behind, you lose your mind, you do
I don't think I hate you my friend
But you're dumb, so so dumb, you know

I was going down the high road
When he saw me there
At first, I thought that I was dreaming and he said
Let's go for a walk, no no
I don't want no walk
I don't want no talk
I just wanna go home
Then he talked a little while
My eyes were fixing in the sky
All I wanted to remember
Was to keep on watching Peaky Blinders
I don't want no walk (I don't I don't)
I don't want no talk (I don't I don't)

Sometime at night, I see them moving
Someone's knocking at my door, I might be breaking balls

Like a bird on a wire
I am searching for the light
Trying to find my way through
The darkness of the night
Like a bird on a wire
Like a beat to find I move on
My head says no my feet won't slow
I dance all night
And let my emotions flow
With my soul
Like a fire in my heart
Burning bright and very strong
I'II keep on going, no matter
What comes along
Every step I take brings me closer to my dreams
Like a beat in my soul
Gotta keep on movin'
Got no time to slow
No time for losin'
Dancin' through the night
Lettin' my emotions out
Gonna be alright
But sometimes I need to step back
And take a look around
Thinkin' 'bout the past
And how we used to get down
Now things have changed
But I won't let it bring me down
Or make me feel deranged
And when the days get tough
And I'm feelin' kinda low
I'll think back to those times
And let the good vibes flow
Like a beat in my soul
Gotta keep on movin'
Got no time to slow
No time for losin'
Dancin' through the night
Lettin' my emotions out
Gonna be alright
And when the days get tough
And I'm feelin' kinda low
I'll think back to those times
And let the good vibes flow

Like a Bird on a Wire

Like a Bird on the Wire

In the winter, 6 years ago
A young girl stood on top of a box
On a stick it dangled like a sock
She was arrested for breaking the law
Without a word
It's the end of an era
The west is regressing
While Iran is on fire
She lost all of her rights
Her skin, her bones, her flesh
She no longer exists
Am I awake?
She no longer submits, they soon no longer exist
She no longer wears it, deep on Revolution Street
It's the end of a reign, say it loud, woman, life, and freedom

Men are falling, the girls are uprising
Men are falling, the girls are uprising
Without a word, without a word

These lyrics shed light on the condition of women in Iran.

Bagatelle for Bass

I'm looking for a rescue
I'm searching for a breakthrough
Cos' I don't know what else to do
I need someone to see me through
Can't break free from this chain,
I'm living in constant pain
Every day feels like a fight,
Gotta find the strength to see the light
It's a struggle,
Gotta find a way to stay alive
I'm looking for a good time
And I, I'm ready for a fine wine
And I feeling fine I wanna shine, gotta climb
I'm lost in the crowd
But my mind is somewhere else
I don't care about the noise or the yells
I'm living in the moment
But I'm not really here
I'm watching from a distance
Everything so clear

I'm looking for a rescue
I'm searching for a breakthrough
I need someone to see me through

I'm drowning in my sorrow

She welcomed me to paradise

Come get it cause tonight is
The night to feel alive and get drunk like you
Drunk like you
Hey now, when we were love drunk
Oh, we were fire, fire up to hell
Fire up to hell yeah yeah yeah yeah
While you were love drunk you said, so did I
We were dancing, getting naked and
Lying on the beach
On the sand
So with two packs of cigarettes in my hand
And one last great sip from my sings
From my sings yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let me sit back, enjoy the view
Ooooohhhhh
Parties late night, take us to the coast
But, ya drunk

Love Drunk

So, this track comes from my previous album released in May 2022. It's a long and painful story. I never managed to finish mixing it due to a computer glitch, and I didn't have a backup, what a foolish mistake! So, it's as it is. Well, I hope it will please, it has a good energy and a tribal vibe in certain parts.

Long, long way home
Yeah, I'm all alone
Where do they all have gone?
Before the dawn
Am I the only one?
Lost in town, better find my way yeah yeah

Long, long way home
Yeah, I'm all alone

There's no living here
There is no run away
So much things to say
But no one's around to hear me now

I can't believe this day, I'm so alone
I was going to enjoy your gift
Feel me, touch me, kiss me and leave me
Gonna hit you hard, next time I see you again

Long, long way home
Yeah, I'm all alone

Am I the only one to be lost in your memories
Ahahahaahahahah

There's no living here
There is no run away

Next Time I See You

A song from my album "Ah Shit," released in 2022. This song is about a very old one-sided love story. I was very young and completely helpless.

The lyrics in French.

C'est bon d'en finir
Trop loin l'avenir
Si loin de moi
Un oiseau volait
C'est dur de tirer
Mais pas assez
Lentement j'ai vu
Tout ce que j'ai su
Aller plus haut
Quand je ne serais plus rien
Tends la main au bien
Qui ne m'entend pas
Je ne sais plus que me dire aurevoir
Je ne sais plus que me dire aurevoir
Je ne sais plus que me dire aurevoir


It's good to finish
So far, the future
So far from me
A bird was flying
It's hard to shoot 
But not enough
Slowly I saw
All that I knew
Go higher
When I'll be nothing anymore
Reach out to the good
That doesn't hear me
I no longer know what to say goodbye
I no longer know what to say goodbye
I no longer know what to say goodbye

Aurevoir

When I start to daydream
My mind turns straight to a woman
Into deserted land lost in time, lost my mind
Go on and ride across the universe flying high
I want to go for a ride
I think I made up my mind
I am on a feather
Good to be lighter
I'm on a ride
No more in danger
I think she's an angel
I want to hide
There may be nothing out there
In the dark side of the sound
Above she's a screamer I can't take another little bit too fast
I cannot take another lonely day to blast
I wanna go for a ride
I think I made up my mind
I am on a feather
Good to be lighter
I'm on a ride
No more in danger
I think she's an angel
I want to hide
On a bass ride, on a bass ride, on a bass ride
He's ready to play a bass ride
That's right
I am on a feather
Good to be lighter
I'm on a ride
No more in danger

Nice Weather

Yeah, well, I was pissed off when I wrote this song.

Well, the lyrics are nonsense at times but who gives a f anyway. Listen until the end; it would be a shame to miss the battle :-)

All in my mind

When you try to disappear
There's always something to hide
Day after day, I've looked into fear
That's all there is, you run

Everyone is talking about a small thing
All the fucking day from eve to morning
When I when I think all about it, baby
All in my mind is crushed together

Sitting on my leather sofa
I watch them all wear double mask
And after all the good good bullshit
My mind turns straight to weed

Call and say we are a contiguous disease
I know you know it's the chinese
When I when I think all about it baby
All in my mind is crushed together

All in my mind is

Moonray Girl

She's a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She makes my eyes kind a blur
She's a moonray tale
'Cause her beauty never fails
Her inner garden's not for sale
Some tried and tried to no avail
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She's one of the kind
Whatever you wanted
Slipped out of your mind
She's a moonray girl
Like a lightening in the night
The girl has gone up to the moon
And now I'm crazy as a loon
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She was a moonray girl (girl)
I'll never stop counting the hours
She was a moonray girl
Like a diamond in a swirl
She was a moonray girl (girl)
I'll never stop counting the hours

It's my very first composition. I wrote this when I was 16. Over 30 years later, it still feels just as young, while I feel less so.
I was never able to finish this song because of a computer bug. The guitar solo, in particular, was temporary. After losing all the files, I couldn't find the motivation to start over.

ALL ALONE

Oh oh gotta find my own way out
Oh oh have to overcome my doubts

The night is cold I feel so sad
All alone
Once in a while along the way
On my own

Oh oh gotta find my own way out
Oh oh have to overcome my doubts

Never found
A place to stay to feel ok yeah
Life is a lonely road
Where you are taking the shade

Oh oh gotta break into my past
Oh oh better find myself at last

Tous les jours c’est le même cauchemar qui m’attend
Je reste dans le froid polaire et j’ai pas de blouson
Que des gens bizarres et pleins de tentations
Dans le feu de l’action tout devient bresson

Ouai j’ai même pas eu temps de te dire
J’ai l’impression que tous les jours c’est le même film
Ouai j’ai même pas eu le temps de te dire
Même plus le temps de rire, ha

Je débite sur la guitare
Et je me dis que j’ai plus trop le temps
Flash d’alcool même plus de diluant
Ramène tes plaques et masse d’argent
Je veux sortir sentir le bois de l’argent
Moi j’ai plus le temps je coupe même sans gants
La haine m’attend, le love je suis plus dedans

J’y vais tout seul
Sur les autres j’ai arrêté de compter
Qu’est-ce tu veux que je te dise
Il te baise si t’as trop de bonté
Si t’es mon ami je te jure pour toi
Je vais pas compter compter compter, wow hey

Wow oh oh oh many time I’ve been alone
(J'ai arrêté de compter, j'ai arrêté de compter)
Wow oh oh oh anyway you’ll never
Know the many ways I’ve tried

Why Streams13? I had a band in the 90s, The Streams. I chose the name after Lennon's 'I'm only sleeping.' Later, I discovered several other bands named Streams on platforms. So, I added 13 (which is the number of the department where I was born). I did it too quickly, as it's quite an ugly band name and unpronounceable in French. Anyway! Too complicated to change now.
