I’d like to watch your band live, is this possible?

Frans! Always love your jams. You are incredibly talented!

Great! I'm huge fan of vibraphone. Fantastic performances!

Is there an instrument that you can't play ?😀 For me it's always a pleasure to listen to your musical gems !

I agree with Adrian, Frans knows how to play it - hence the name Sweetness

Damn, you are the best Frans. This sucker cooks so politely but oh so hot. Another vibes fan here too but every part of this just moves the toe tappers!! Awesome groove.

Avenir.

Comme un pauvre  Vagabond 
errant sur les chemins de sa  vie chiffon 
Comme un poète maudit 
Écrit sur le sable mouillé 

Refrain 
Ta  voie  est là, juste un premier pas  suffit pour partir 
laiss’ pas   la peur  te voler ton désir ton avenir

Copie le saltimbanque
qui jongle habile avec ses envies - envie 
La statue immobile
qui voudrait s’envoler  s’en aller


Comme une poussée de sève 
Réveille  ta vie , refleurit le Monde  tu rêve 
C'est dans cette  lumière qu’il te faudra tracer   ta route

Imagine le monde
C'est temps pour toi d’entrer dans la rond(e) tu vois 
C’est ça  C’est ce premier pas 
qui t’a fait saisir ta vie c’est  ça

!--- Translate

Future.

Like a poor Wanderer 
wandering the paths of his rag life 
Like a cursed poet 
Written on wet sand 

Refrain 
Your path is there, just a first step is enough to leave 
Don’t let fear steal your desire, your future

Copy the acrobat
who skillfully juggles with his desires - desire 
The motionless statue
who would like to fly away


Like a rush of sap 
Wake up your life, the world you dream of blooms again 
It is in this light that you will have to trace your path

Imagine the world
It's time for you to enter the circle you see 
This is it, this is the first step 
who made you grab hold of your life, that’s it

Avenir (Instrumental version)

Lyrics by Ron Todd:

"Summers Of Love"

Was a time back then there was me and you 
We needed no one there was just us two 
We'd drive along in my black Trans am 
We were young we didn't give a damn 

Your hair it blew in the summer winds  
We were lovers, soul mates, best of friends 
I'd tell you our love would never end
But there's always something around that bend 

Chorus

It was crazy days
It was crazy nights
It was what we had
And we did it right
I swore to you
I'd never let you go
In those balmy days 
We had our summers of love

Music break

Cos babe we used to have it all
So we kept on running like a waterfall
The mountains they always reached the sky
And all the time we never asked why

There was electricity filling the air 
We just drove around not a single care 
There was something out in the air that night 
We closed those doors and we just took flight

Chorus

Music break

End piece

But that was when we both were young 
And things can change in the years you grow 
Swore to you I would leave you never
But perfect doesn't always last forever 

Chorus

Teenage summers of love

Sweetness

at the disco
goin’ all the way
with a speedball
on an empty day

i wonder if i stopped my cryin’
i wonder if i stopped now

crooked halo
all you’ve got today
your dependents
better back away

i wonder if i stopped my cryin’
i wonder who i’d be now

in the moonlight
goin’ all the way
to the river
gonna watch for day

i wonder if i stop my crying’
i wonder what i’d see now

Living life

What's Gotten Into You?

L’observateur observé. Un genre de méditation sonore où J’ai voulu mélanger différents genres musicaux avec vers la fin une intervention de Taf, mon ami Sénégalais qui a posé sa très belle voix, c’est un voyage « Inside » car il se passe beaucoup de choses à l’intérieur de notre cerveau humain, entre le conscient le subconscient, le supra conscient, à la fin ça fait beaucoup de monde et ils ne sont pas toujours tous d’accord, on dirait même que des fois il se prennent la tête l’un dit quelque chose, l’autre dit autre chose.
Mais puisqu’en nous subsiste un infini espace d’une grande profondeur où règne la paix, le calme, le silence parfois comme un guide qui nous emmène ailleurs, vers l’invisible, peut être vers cette énergie cosmique, vers les étoiles, vers la lumière, plus haut, plus loin….  

Paroles, chant et musique : Steph Ouna
Cœur et image : Lena https://soundcloud.com/user-262019520
voix Sénégalaise à la fin du morceau : Taf

Une initiative, émotive, passive
Un rêve éveillé
Une bouée qui dérive
au flux et courant des marrées
Sans jamais s’échouer

Croire à son étoile
Connecté à ses pensées
La main posée sur la toile
Libre et se laisser guider
Retrouver un peu d’espoir
De magie de coté

C’est vrai, tu as raison
Je vais maintenant, t’écouter
Si mes tourments te gênent
Je les enverrai en recommandé

Tous ces déserts, amers
N’auront plus aucun effet
Dérision d’éther
Etrange et sur mon caractère
