Last Day On Earth

The Little Things

I used to ooze confidence-
ooze a self-belief,
certainty was my close friend
but my success was brief.
I ran into a massive goodbye.
Lately I've been losing my grip-
no longer have a significant other.
He slipped away last year.

Memories of him I still adore.
But I don't cry for him anymore.
I don't cry for him anymore.
He said when the tears have gone.
Take a deep breath- and move on.
Take a deep breath- and move on.

So I'm taking his heavenly advice.
I've sorted through our lost life.
I'm liquidating all of our assets.
Getting set-up to start over.
I'm taking deep breaths- moving on.
I'm taking deep breaths- moving on.
Hey you, up there on your cloud,
pretty sure you'd be proud of me.
I'm taking deep breaths- moving on.
I'm taking deep breaths- moving on.

Moving On

MOVING ON

Simple Things is a song I wrote in 2015, when I was in a pretty weird period of transition after having finished my studies, trying to find my way earning my living as a musician. 

It's about enjoying the most simple things in life, in contrast with always searching for more and more, to experiment the deepest sensations and to realise our craziest dreams, which can lead to frustration, sensations of emptiness and never-ending insatisfaction. 
Earnest and truest joys actually find themselves in the simplest things we live every day. Eating good stuff, sharing laughs with friends, enjoying the beauty of nature, taking a walk, sitting in the sun, playing or listening to music, exchanging a quick smile with a stranger... These things seem so common but yet are the consistent gifts we can appreciate. 

This song still deeply resonates today as I often go through periods where I struggle with expectations and desires, and is a calling to refocus on the beauty of our lives with gratitude.

A home-made version of Simple Things was released on this same soundcloud page back in 2015. To get it "officially" released, I re-recorded the voices in studio conditions and had it mixed by my friend Quentin Benizeau, which I thank very much. The guitar you hear is the original part I home-recorded. You can have fun comparing the two versions if you'd like to hear the differences!

I very much hope you'll enjoy listening to this song!

Simple Things (official version 2024)

[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
You come to the mirror, but nobody's here.
You come to the people, with an imagined self.
You prey for attention, but nobody's care.
You prey for the food, for an imagined self.

[Pre-chorus]
Emotions are our food,
Attention is our mission,
We're like a human virus.
We give what we do not have,
To take what we most need,
We're like modern vampires -
Making you confused and bleed.

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
You come to the mirror, but nobody's here.
You come to the people, with an ideal self.
You prey for attention, an ideal can gain.
You prey for the food, for an imagined self.

[Pre-chorus]
Emotions are our food,
Attention is our mission,
We're like a human virus.
We give what we do not have,
To take what we most need,
We're like modern vampires -
Making you confused and bleed.

[Chorus]
Your strength is slowly fading,
Nothing will left to defend.
The void is always waiting -
You will join us in the end...
Your identity is slowly fading,
Nothing will left to defend.
The void is always waiting -
You will join us in the end...
If you lose yourself.

[Instrumental break]
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
You create delusions, with beautiful lies.
You craft every story, just to survive.
You prey for resources, from everywhere.
You prey for yourself, and you do not care.

[Pre-chorus]
Emotions are our food,
Attention is our mission,
We're like a human virus.
We give what we do not have,
To take what we most need,
We're like modern vampires -
Making you confused and bleed.

[Chorus]
Your strength is slowly fading,
Nothing will left to defend.
The void is always waiting -
You will join us in the end...
Your identity is slowly fading,
Nothing will left to defend.
The void is always waiting -
You will join us in the end...
If you lose yourself.
If you lose yourself.

[Instrumental break]
[Solo]
[Outro]

[Instrumental break]

If you lose yourself.
If you lose yourself.
When you lose yourself...

.....Crying.
..........Crying.

....................Crying.

I've been crying.
Time's been drying my tears.
It's been an all-nighter
.....again-
talking to myself,
.....walking home slowly
..........in the pouring rain.
Love and laughter
have hidden themselves
.....from me.
I am a disaster
.....in the making.
Please don't stare
at the evidence of
.....my heart breaking.

I am so fearful.
I am fearful of the future.
I am afraid to lay down.
I might drown in your arms
.....again.
..........l will try
to be more bi than gay.
We have to have options-
ways to live another day.
There are no rules.
All the rules were written
to confuse the fools.
Oh! I've been crying.
.....Crying.
..........Crying.

CRYING

Take my hand
.....and hold it tight
..........and stand by me
through the darkest night.
Together we can spark the light to lead us through
this life of fighting.
There is just me and you
travelling to heavenly blue.
There's just me and you
travelling to heavenly blue.
There is just us
for me to delight in.
Take my hand
.....and hold it tight
..........and stand by me.

There will be laughter
and, after the fun,
there will come the pain.
There's will all ways be pain
There's all ways been pain.
We can't unsee the news.
We can't unsee the news.
We can't stop the abuse.
We can't stop the abuse.
Our wild child Earth has
been so cruelly used.
We have cried
.....and we have tried
..........but now it's our time.
It's our time
to become an island again.
Oh! I hope it's not too late
for us to be an island again.

Take my hand
.....and hold it tight
..........and stand by me
through the darkest night.
Together we can spark the light to lead us through
this life of fighting.
There is just me and you
travelling to heavenly blue.
There's just me and you
travelling to heavenly blue.
There is just us
for me to delight in.
Take my hand
.....and hold it tight
..........and stand by me.

Take my hand

Take my hand
.....and hold it tight
..........and stand by me.

Moments of Clarity

🌧️✨ Laughter in the Rain is a song about finding joy in the storm, dancing through life’s ups and downs with someone who makes every moment feel magical. With uplifting melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a rhythm as soothing as raindrops on a window, this track is a celebration of love, freedom, and the beauty of embracing the unexpected.

No umbrellas, no worries—just laughter, music, and the warmth of someone who turns even the darkest skies into a dream.

Let the rain fall, turn up the volume, and lose yourself in the moment.

Laughter in the Rain

[Intro]
The clouds are grey, but I don’t mind,
With you beside me, the sun still shines.
Every drop becomes a melody,
Dancing through this symphony.

[Verse 1]
The rain falls soft, a gentle kiss,
In moments like this, it feels like bliss.
Your hand in mine, we’re spinning around,
Each step we take, a joyful sound.

[Chorus]
No umbrella, we don’t care,
The world is ours, the sky is fair.
Through every storm, we find the light,
Our laughter echoes through the night.

[Verse 2]
The rhythm of the drops, a perfect beat,
We’re lost in a moment, it’s bittersweet.
Your smile, it shines through the darkest skies,
Together we’re a spark that never dies.

[Chorus]
Laughter in the rain, we’re wild and free,
Dancing through the puddles, just you and me.
No need for shelter, no need for fear,
With you, the storm feels crystal clear.

[Bridge]
The rain keeps falling, but we don’t stop,
We’re reaching high, we’re at the top.
In every drop, a new refrain,
We’ll keep on laughing through the rain.

[Final Chorus]
Laughter in the rain, we’re wild and free,
Dancing through the puddles, just you and me.
No need for shelter, no need for fear,
With you, the storm feels crystal clear.

[Outro]
The storm is fading, the skies are bright,
But I’ll remember this rainy night.
Our laughter lingers, a sweet refrain,
Forever lost in the rain.

all day all night live at LDV

I have to confess
I'm really not the best
judge of character.
I have to confess
I'm really not the best
judge of character.
I've always gravitated to
the highly overrated.
And I tend to pick
.....the worst lovers
..........in the world.
The history of my heart
reads like a horror script.
The mystery is why I'm
still in the game,
putting my money on
.....tomorrow?
Are you there in my future-
.....my future tutor
..........in 'true love'?

I seem to be rubbish at

Rubbish at
keeping my catch.

I'm looking for a real match.
I hope you are it.
