Ur Best

“Est-ce l’Amour ou quoi?” is a French pop ballad built on a recurring question: is this love — or something else? Through poetic lyrics and a growing emotional intensity, the song explores the joy, confusion and obsession of falling for someone. A melodic structure that blends vulnerability with tension, and a final chorus that explodes with raw passion.
A unique blend of French lyrical sensibility and international pop dynamics.

French Pitch:
Quand l’amour semble évident… mais qu’on n’ose y croire.
"Est-ce l’Amour ou quoi ?" pose la question que chacun s’est un jour posée : cet attachement puissant, ce manque, cette obsession — est-ce vraiment l’amour, ou juste un mirage ? Dans cette ballade à la fois douce et poignante, piano et voix se répondent en échos fragiles. Les mots dansent entre lucidité et confusion, entre désir et dérive.

Est-ce l'Amour ou quoi ?

Vatican City's only dance band, CARDINAL SIN!, answers the question... "Can churchgoing and partying coexist?"

LYRICS:
------
LUX! 
IN TENEBRIS!  
VENI 
ET SALTA!  

Light in the darkness 
Come with us and dance

Under golden domes
The night comes alive  
Marble saints watching 
As the spotlights arrive  
Candles flicker
Shadows align  
Blessed be this holy
Holy skyline

We raise our hands 
Like cathedral spires  
Feel the bass lift us higher
We’re on fire  

Sacred and electric
It’s the same desire  
In the name of love
We’re a Eurovision choir

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still like to dance and sing  
Hell...
We’ll do most anything  

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Blessed in the rhythm
Saints in the sway  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still feel the music play

Silver necklaces swinging to the beat  
Incense mixing with the crowd’s heartbeat  
Hymns and dance-pop music side by side  
Faith and fever can both collide

We raise our hands 
Like cathedral spires  
Feel the bass lift us higher
We’re on fire  
Sacred and electric
It’s the same desire  
In the name of love
We’re a Eurovision choir
 
B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still like to dance and sing  
Hell...
We’ll do most anything  

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Blessed in the rhythm
Saints in the sway  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still feel the music play

Kyrie eleison… (Turn the lights on)  
Gloria in excelsis… (We can’t help this)  
Sanctus, sanctus… (We just want to move)  
This beat is the prayer
This floor is the proof

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)
We still like to dance and sing  
Hell...
We’ll do most anything  

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A!  
Blessed in the rhythm
Saints in the sway  
Even though we’re holy (holy!)  
We still feel the music play

B-A-S-I-L-I-C-A…  
In light, in love, in dance… amen.  
Amen, amen, amen  
AMEN!

My Tone

First of all--the algorithm has done yesterday's track a bit dirty.  Maybe the unpronounceable name has limited the number of people it gets recommended to--but "Xylyl" is a track deserving more listens than just 14 (which it has as I type this)...so, even before checking out today's Interbay track, take a couple moments to give that one a listen...then come back here and give that same love to "I Can See The Light."  

Now then...(thank you, for those of you who actually did that!)...here's a little bit about "I Can See The Light".  This is synth pop with horns (both synth horns and heavily filtered 'real" brass) and a rock song structure.  In other words, once again, it's an Interbay track.  

I think what will get the most attention in this track are the vocals.  No spoken word narrators on this track, this is proper singing from a proper singer...bluesy and full of emotion.  (And taken completely out of context, which I hope is enough to keep Icarus safe for their efforts here.)  

My favorite part is probably the tom tom heavy drum break with chopped up vocal samples flying back and forth.  Reminds me of the sometimes dubby sounding middle breaks found in certain Led Zeppelin songs--which, you have to admit, is an odd thing to say about a synth pop tune made in 2025.    

So, if you like the poppier or rock-leaning Interbay tracks...or you're a trainspotter who might be shocked by the audacity displayed here...or you just enjoy the crazy rollercoaster that Interbay takes you on every single day (so far!)...I think you'll like "I Can See The Light".  (I also think that you'll like "Xylyl"--though they are quite different adventures entirely.)  

So, all the usual requests:  Listen, like, repost, share, playlist, comment...and follow.  
Thank you!

The Word Became Flesh

Nada vai mudar meu amor por você

An emotional reflective ballad where a man confesses the pain of trying and failing to measure up to family, to love, to themselves. Each verse builds tension until the chorus bursts with aching power.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]  
Every mirror shows a stranger’s face,  
A list of failures I can’t erase.  
Every promise feels like borrowed time,  
Every victory slips, never mine.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I hear their voices, heavy and clear,  
“You could’ve been more, you should’ve been here.”  

[Chorus]  
I was almost enough, but never quite,  
A shadow chasing someone else’s light.  
I break my back just to fall behind,  
Living for love I’ll never find.  
Almost enough yet never free,  
I’m drowning in who you wanted me to be.  

[Verse 2]  
Every test I failed, every mark I missed,  
Every hand I reached, turned into a fist.  
I wore your hopes like a heavy crown,  
But the weight of it all just pulled me down.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I scream in silence, no one can hear,  
The echo’s the only thing keeping me near.  

[Chorus]  
I was almost enough, but never quite,  
A shadow chasing someone else’s light.  
I break my back just to fall behind,  
Living for love I’ll never find.  
Almost enough yet never free,  
I’m drowning in who you wanted me to be.  

[Bridge]  
If I could be less, if I could be more,  
Would you still leave me outside your door?  
If all I am is a fractured dream,  
Would you wake me up, or let me bleed?  

[Final Chorus]  
I was almost enough, but never quite,  
Always the wrong in your search for right.  
I gave my soul just to fall apart,  
Chasing a place in somebody’s heart.  
Almost enough till the day I’m gone,  
But my broken voice will still sing on.  

[Outro]  
Almost… almost enough…
Almost… almost enough…
But never… never enough…

I Was Almost Enough

Aquariano excêntrico, que torce pelo melhor para todos

I write, I compose, and sometimes I perform.
In my French pop-rock songs, I set to music what I feel, live, or sense in a world that moves faster than time itself.
Sometimes an actor, sometimes a witness, I sing about love, doubt, shadows, and light.
Our silences, our joys, our scars — sometimes, a song says what words no longer dare to.
My songs are born where emotion meets technology — from digital production to artificial intelligence.
If you listen with your heart, they might speak to you.
Welcome to my world.
My pen is a wanderer; it travels freely to other voices, other melodies.
Composers, performers: if your notes are looking for words, mine are ready to journey with you.

French Version: 
J’écris, je compose, et parfois j’interprète.
Dans mes chansons pop rock en français, je mets en musique ce que je ressens, vis ou pressens, dans un monde qui file plus vite que le temps.
Tantôt acteur, tantôt témoin, je chante l’amour, le doute, les ombres et la lumière.
Nos silences, nos joies, nos cicatrices : parfois, une chanson dit ce que les mots n’osent plus.
Mes titres naissent là où l’émotion rencontre la technologie — de la production digitale à l’intelligence artificielle.
Si vous écoutez avec le cœur, ils vous parleront peut être.
Bienvenue dans mon univers.
Ma plume est nomade ; elle voyage volontiers vers d’autres voix, d’autres mélodies.
Compositeurs, interprètes : si vos notes cherchent des mots, les miens sont prêts à voyager avec vous.
