Sur un texte fort et malheureusement toujours d'actualité de Jean-Claude Manceau

On a strong and unfortunately still topical text by Jean-Claude Manceau

Souvenez-vous !

Souvenez-vous !
Des autos chargées de matelas
Dans le ciel, la ronde des Stukas.
Dix millions de Français en déroute 
Fourbus, bombardés sur les routes.
Souvenez-vous !

« Des vélos, des tandems, des brouettes
Les odeurs de ferme des charrettes,
Paysannes, chapelet en main »*
Sans savoir ce que sera demain.
Souvenez-vous !

Des marcheurs, maisons sur le dos.
Dix sous pour un simple verre d’eau,
La quête épuisante pour manger
Trouver du lait pour les bébés.
Souvenez-vous !

Des chats, des chiens abandonnés 
Ces bêtes, errantes affamées,
Et une petit fille en pleurs,
Ces vaches meuglant de douleur.
Souvenez-vous !

Un convoi de cyclistes
Tant de morts sur la piste,
Des guimbardes calcinées,
Des corps dans les fossés.
Souvenez-vous !

« La France marchait,
La France boitait. » *
Sombre période.
C’était l’exode.

Alors, bonnes gens,
Les migrants…

Paroles de Jean-Claude Manceau, éd. Parole et poésie, 2020
*d’après « Le peuple du désastre » d’Henri Amouroux, éd. Robert Laffont, 1976
Musique de Myckaël Marcovic, 02 mars 2023

Remember!

Remember!
Cars loaded with mattresses
In the sky, the circle of Stukas.
Ten million French people in disarray
Exhausted, bombed on the roads.
Remember!

“Bicycles, tandems, wheelbarrows
The farm smells of the carts,
Peasant women, rosary in hand”*
Without knowing what will be tomorrow.
Remember!

Walkers, houses on the back.
Ten sous for a simple glass of water,
The exhausting quest to eat
Find milk for babies.
Remember!

Abandoned cats, dogs
These beasts, wandering hungry,
And a crying little girl,
Those cows mooing in pain.
Remember!

A convoy of cyclists
So many deaths on the track,
charred jew's harps,
Bodies in the ditches.
Remember!

“France marched,
France was limping. » *
Dark period.
It was exodus.

So, good people,
Migrants...

Souvenez-vous (Jean-Claude Manceau / Myckaël Marcovic)

I'm Dreaming Of You

I Got You On My Mind

(This is dedicated to my Step-Dad and to his battle with dementia.  It’s a song about time, how things are constantly changing, and yet, when you look in the mirror, there you are, and yet the decay, the age, mistakes and wisdom, one can hope, at the end of the day, no matter what has been had, what has been lost, you will have at least one thing, even if just a hand full, of beautiful memories…of people, pain, loss, love, hope, and everything in between.  Yet, for some, the curse is to look in the mirror and have nothing, to have lost it all, that sense of fear, grief, and frustration..  my step dad lost everyone in the end.  There were only two people he recognized.  My Mom and I - a blessing I will always be grateful to have had).  He was a beautiful man and this song, in all the irony of the lyrics, is for him.  

Verse
Was a time, a time to play, time to pray
All that time, what a waste, what a pity, oh fool, shake my walls, blow me down.

Just a face, unaware, just another day.
Just a phase, all we had, it’s a crime
oh pity, oh fool, mind your head when you fall 

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Verse
In the dark, in the back, what a way to live, you a dance I could never forget, oh pity oh fool, tell me who I see now so

Like a dream, but nightmares are dreams too, in my head, but my mind I stilI find you, oh pity, oh fool, take my hand lead me out 

Chorus
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Not a game, never same, we all fade away, but these tricks, it’s so hard to find you, oh pity oh fool, seems all is lost now

In the end, through the tears and the madness, find a smile as you echo among us, oh pity of fool, are you here with me now.  

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

"Neev" - Great Artist, pleasure to work on this song.

Neev - Seawall (Dreaming While Awake Remix)

Some truths aren’t spoken — they’re felt.
“Between the Lines” captures the quiet space where words fade and emotion takes over. It’s the sound of reflection, of reading the heart rather than the page.

Just guitar and voice, steady and unguarded. Each note hangs like a thought unfinished, each silence filled with meaning.

✨ Love isn’t always written — sometimes, it’s understood.

Between The Lines

Deep Down In Carribean Sea

Heavenly Father,

On this new morning we rise with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of a new day and the promise of Your unfailing mercy that is fresh every sunrise.

Heal the division in our land. Replace bitterness with brotherly love, pride with humility, and fear with faith. Let Your Church shine as a city on a hill—united in truth, bold in love, quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.

Holy Spirit, comfort every heart that woke up discouraged today. Remind us that our hope was never in chariots or horses—or in red or blue—but in the name of the Lord our God. The battle belongs to You.

Use even this election, Lord, to awaken Your people to fervent prayer, to fearless witness, and to sacrificial love for our neighbors. May the Gospel advance faster because we remembered that earthly kingdoms rise and fall, but Your Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

We ask all these things in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen.
