________________________

Rose, the story is being told that you won’t get old
I know it’s hard to see but there’s a light behind the trees, Rose
Your daddy was a friend of mine, though it’s been a long long time
Before the seasons changed and plans were rearranged

Like a seagull in the storm, you’ll take your lonely course
Ahead of the swarm, struggling with proud force
Despite your tattered coat your soul will stay unharmed and reach the sky

Solo

Little Seagull in the storm, with confidence and love
You will live on, down here below and up above
Despite your tattered coat your soul will stay unharmed and reach the sky

You don’t need to believe, but while the others grieve
Their love will guide you through and there’s one who’s waiting for you, Rose

Intro Progression:   

Emaj7(#11) > Em7♭6 > EM > E(b5) > G > em > C > A > B (Lead Melody) > G  > em > C > A > B 

 

Verse 1:  

(B) One hand on the wheel, one hand on the gun, her foot on the gas, on the run 

(G) She’s run away, (em) get away, (A) leave it all (C) behind, and (A) she’s (B) gone. 

 

Verse 2 

One bird in the air, that glare in the mirror, one last breath, the last thing he saw 

Had enough today, it’s done today, left it all behind, damn his soul 

(G) Cross that line no more, (em) I’m not your whore, (A) I’m done being scared, (C) yeah, (A) I’m (B) gone 

 

Chorus:  

(Emaj7(#11) So (Em7♭6) sweet (used to be) 

(Emaj7(#11) So (Em7♭6) sweet, (used to be) 

(Emaj7(#11) So (Em7♭6) sweet (finally free) 

 

Verse 3 

One bruise on her cheek, some blood her dress, his body on the side of the road 

Yeah, he’s gone today, for good today, one bullet in the front of his skull 

 

Verse 4 

Still wakes screaming at night, feels his hand on her throat, he throws her against the wall 

He broke her heart, broke her bones, he never broke her will, bless her soul  

He can’t hurt me no more, she tells herself, not anymore  

 

 

 

Chorus:  

So sweet (used to be), So sweet, (used to be), So sweet (finally free) 

 

Bridge:  

(Em7♭6) Into the sunset she drives, time to get on with her life 

(Esus4) I just want to be me she says, just want to be free from the pain 

(Em7♭6) Okay is still so far away, one mile at a time, until that day. 

(Esus4) I just want to be me, just want to be free from the pain  

 Chorus - Outtro

Sweet


This track is a raw outcry from the ashes of California's devastating wildfires.
It channels the anger and frustration of communities left to fend for themselves amidst bureaucratic failures and political negligence.
From underfunded emergency services to delayed disaster aid, the song exposes the systemic issues that have worsened the wildfire crisis.

In January 2025, the Palisades Fire alone destroyed over 12,000 structures and claimed 25 lives... Yet leadership was absent when it mattered most.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was criticized for being abroad during the crisis and for cutting $17.6 million from the fire department's budget beforehand.
Governor Gavin Newsom also faced public outrage for his administration's lack of preparedness and slow response.

"Everything’s Burning" is more than a song. it’s a demand for accountability and a tribute to those who’ve suffered due to systemic neglect.
Let the flames of this anthem ignite awareness and change.

EVERYTHING'S BURNING

A mes parents, au temps passé qui ne reviendra pas, si loin et si proche à la fois..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHHqyTAMjZg
Paroles:
Il me revient des souvenirs,
Pour le meilleur et pour le rire.
C'est comme un film à remonter,
Un livre ouvert sur le passé.
J'avais dix ans dans le quartier,
J'aimais les jeux de mes fiancées,
Jeu de marelle je sais c'est con,
Quand on se veut comme un garçon.

Si le temps passe et les années nous blessent,
Si les volets se ferment un peu.
Si le temps passe et les années nous laissent,
Si comme au coeur un peu de bleu.
Moi j'aime à remonter le temps,
Moi j'aime à remonter le temps,

Il me revient comme une odeur,
De cuir une banquette arrière.
Une déesse, des hauts le coeur,
Et les gauloises bleues de mon père.
J'avais treize ans dans le quartier,
J'aimais une fille aux yeux clairs,
Et j 'ai gardé à tout jamais,
L'odeur du henné de ma mère.

Si le temps passe et les années nous blessent,
Si les volets se ferment un peu.
Si le temps passe et les années nous laissent,
Si comme au coeur un peu de bleu.
Moi j'aime à remonter le temps,
Moi j'aime à remonter le temps,

To my parents, to the times gone by that will not return, so far and yet so close at the same time..
Words:
Memories come back to me,
For better or for laughter.
It's like a film to rewind,
A book open on the past
.I was ten years old in the neighborhood,
I loved the games of my fiancées,
Hopscotch game I know it's silly,
When we want to be like a boy.

If time passes and the years hurt us,
 If the shutters close a little.
 If time passes and the years leave us,
 If like in the heart there's a bit of blue.
I love to go back in time,
 I love to go back in time,

It comes back to me like a smell,
 Of leather from a back seat.
 A goddess, with a tightness in my chest,
 And my father's blue Gauloises. 
I was thirteen in the neighborhood,
 I loved a girl with bright eyes, 
And I have forever kept, 
The smell of my mother's henna.
If time passes and the years hurt us,
 If the shutters close a little.
 If time passes and the years leave us,
 If like in the heart there's a bit of blue.
I love to go back in time,
 I love to go back in time,

Les volets se ferment un peu

[Intro]
You stood there with a ring and a promise
But time’s revealed the cracks inside your charm
You said you'd build her up with kindness
Now all I see is harm

[Verse 1]
You're drinking more than talking these days
And your words come sharp like razor blades
You raise your voice, and the kids all scatter
Like paper boats lost in a gale
You blame her for the life you wasted
While you're the one who walked away
From the man you swore you'd be
Back on that wedding day

[Chorus]
I'm disappointed, can’t you see?
You're not the man I hoped you’d be
You’re breaking hearts instead of chains
And pouring liquor on the flames
I see the wreckage, hear the cries
I wipe the tears from children’s eyes
You point at them, when it’s your soul that’s stained
Son… I’m just so disappointed

[Verse 2]
While your world’s falling in tatters
You treat her love like it's disposable
You treat your kids like they’re to blame
But I see through the smoke and whiskey
You're just drowning out your name

[Chorus]
I'm disappointed, can’t you see?
You're not the man I hoped you’d be
You’re breaking hearts instead of chains
And pouring liquor on the flames
I see the wreckage, hear the cries
I wipe the tears from children’s eyes
You point at them, when it’s your soul that’s stained
Son… I’m just so disappointed

[Bridge]
I gave you trust, I gave you time
I gave you room to change your mind
But now I stand here on this line
Between protector and goodbye

[Chorus – Final]
Yes, I’m disappointed, this cuts deep
You traded vows for nights of sleep
You left the mess for them to clean
You crushed their joy, you stole her dream
And if you ever want it back
You better fight, and change your track
But if you don’t… don’t leave it disjointed
Just know... I’ll always be disappointed

[Outro]
You still got time… to make it right
But tonight... I sleep with the porch light
Burning for them, not for you
You know what you need to do

Disappointed

A hauntingly beautiful composition that unfolds with mournful strings, weaving a delicate tapestry of sorrow and introspection. The arrangement remains minimal, allowing space for each note to breathe, while a subtle ostinato piano motif pulses steadily beneath—a quiet heartbeat of melancholy. The strings swell and recede like distant memories, their bittersweet harmonies evoking a sense of loss, longing, and fragile hope. Perfect for moments of quiet reflection, emotional storytelling, or cinematic scenes heavy with unspoken emotion.

When Strings Break The Silence

Let Me Down Easy

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise
