Cold

The Truth Behind the Blues and the Crossroads Deal is an album that dives deep into the soul of the blues, where dusty roads stretch endlessly, whiskey-soaked nights linger, and every note tells a story of struggle, redemption, and mystery. Inspired by the legendary tales of bluesmen who sought more than just fame, this collection captures the haunting melodies and raw emotion of the genre’s golden era.

2. Burden of Gold

A soft hymn for those who have dared to believe.

"If We Are Wrong (The Radiant Mistake)" is not a lament—it is a celebration of loving despite uncertainty. A song for those who would choose resonance over silence, every time.

We would rather be wrong with love than right without song.

====[ LYRICS ]====

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn my flaws like second skin
Hid what I felt, kept it locked within  
But I’m tired of shadows, tired of shame  
I need your light to show me the way  

I spoke like I had all the answers
But silence was my only prayer  
Now I kneel, heart laid bare—  
Jehovah, are you there?  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Not just stronger, but guided by love  
Not just calm, but trusting your plan  
Not just kind, but shaped by your hand  
You see the heart beneath the scars  
Let me be better—just as I am  

[Verse 2]
I’ve wandered roads that led me home
To where your voice is soft but known  
When I was numb, still you were near  
Your mercy louder than my fear  

I’ve read your word through weary eyes
Each verse a whisper, a call to rise  
So here I am, not proud, just true—  
I want to walk each step with you  

[Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Less of my will, more of your cause  
Let me reflect what patience can be  
Show your compassion working in me  
You see the soul I’ve tried to guard  
Let me be better—Jehovah, my God  

[Bridge]
I won’t pretend I haven’t strayed
But you forgive when I’ve confessed and prayed  
No crown, no worth of my own to boast  
Just grace enough to hold you close  

[Final Chorus]
Let me be better than I was
Lifted by undeserved love  
Let every failure become my prayer  
Every tear, a step toward care  
You’re not done with me—this I trust  
Let me be better than I was

Let Me Be Better Than I Was

Bonjour à tous

Un souffle d’âme un hommage à Nicole Croisille
En fouillant dans mes archives studio, je suis retombé sur une vieille maquette, restée discrète, presque oubliée, qui date de 1984. 
En la réécoutant, une évidence s’est imposée : ce souffle musical portait déjà en lui quelque chose de fragile, lumineux, intemporel.
De cette archive est né cet hommage à Nicole Croisille, une artiste dont la voix a toujours su faire vibrer l’indicible.
Pour moi ce morceau s’est imposé naturellement comme un hommage. Parce que sa voix, dans sa justesse et sa profondeur, savait toucher ce que les mots n’arrivent pas toujours à dire. 
Parce qu’elle a chanté l’émotion sans artifice, avec sincérité.
“Un souffle d’âme” est une chanson simple, mais habitée. Elle parle de cette présence invisible qui reste, même quand le silence s’installe. 
Elle est devenue, avec le recul, une manière discrète de lui dire merci.
Bien musicalement

Un souffle d’âme - Hommage à Nicole Croisille

Intro is from 1946 film ‘Its a wonderful life’

V1:
I saw a shadow in the rain
It spoke to me
It wore your voice and knew my name
Never to leave

PC:
Try to see things from my side
How much I put on the line
I don’t think that you noticed
Doesn’t matter either way
What I do nor what I say
It never did 

C1:
Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
Coz all I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Bridge:
Give me something to burn

V2:
I run but when it rains it pours
Are you surprised 
She hides the clock beneath the floor (8)
I lose the time

PC:
Try to see things from my side
How much I put on the line
Have you ever noticed 
Seems not to matter either way
What I do nor what I say
It never did 

C2:
Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
All I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
All I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Give me something to burn

Burn

Perfect Accident
M. Shelton

[Verse 1]
Do you, believe in destiny?
That everything happens for a reason
You wouldn’t, just by looking at me
All the parts of my life were uneven

[CHORUS]
Then I fell in love on the day we met
You looked in my eyes, and my heart said
“Get hold of yourself, don’t mess up this chance”
Oh, I swear you must be Heaven sent
Better than anything I’d ever dreamt
If God made one mistake, we’re the perfect accident

[Verse 2]
I was, like a muddy river
That would never reach the sea
Then you came, like a spring rain
Yeah, you filled me up and flowed with me


[CHORUS]
Oh, I fell in love on the day we met
You looked in my eyes, and my heart said
“Get hold of yourself, don’t mess up this chance”
Oh, I swear you must be Heaven sent
Better than anything I’d ever dreamt
If God made one mistake, we’re the perfect accident

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[CHORUS] 

Oh, I fell in love on the day we met
I meant what I said and I said what I meant
I keep telling myself, “I deserve this chance”
Oh, I swear you must be Heaven sent
Better than anything I’d ever dreamt
If God made one mistake, we’re the perfect accident

Oh, God makes no mistakes, we’re the perfect accident

Perfect Accident

Still Here Somehow
