ABOUT THE SONG

First I tried to make a calypso song. But I was unable to do it... So I changed it into a 80's style track.

My daughter Daphné (5) wanted to sing on that song, so I recorded her.

Made with Ardour (DAW), Rosegarden (midi), Hydrogen on Ubuntu Studio. I used my voice and my guitar.

Lyrics and music by Buma.
Performed by Daphné & Buma.

LYRICS

Smiling to my kids
and hiding from the sun
But something came to me
I Was remembering

But something came to me

I will try
I will fight for that
I will try
Caribbean style will heat my frozen kind
That’s music we don’t mind
Can I try from the past ?
That’s music we don’t mind

“Ch-ch-ch-changes” in my room
Wrote this list for that man
That’s all my crowded mind
Will fight to succeed

I will try
Can I try from the past ?
That’s music we don’t mind

Avant les limules (feat. Daphné)

WE MUST GO

A great book sort of similar in this topic is "The Bystander Effect" by Catherine Sanderson. Highly recommend.

“A McCartney influenced Rock song about Integrity. The lyrics are inspired by how my wife navigates her life with such integrity and kindness and about my daughters amazing developing personality; I always say to her “never change” - both are beautiful souls and a true inspiration to me” 

HOLD ON TO YOUR SOUL

Hold on to your soul 
Don’t ever let go
Of you all I see
Is your integrity

Hold on to your soul 
Hold on to your soul 

Go ahead and remember who you are
Your soul’s shining like a lightning bolt, yeah 

Hold on to your soul
You’re more than you know
Your brightness me see
You are integrity
