About Me
“Isn’t it what one is searching in life : the deepest possible sorrow, to become Oneself, before dying.â€
Louis Ferdinand Céline
Two years since the last album “Wish You Pleasureâ€.
The new one : “Let it hurt !â€
Life has been a bitch ? Great, we have replied to it by crying, writing, composing, playing, singing, producing.....
Words and music of sadness & cynism. We are alive !
Mirroring the world as it has become.
Take it or leave it ! Love it or hate it !
“The Magic Number†: “.... for your heat is overwhelming my heart, for your mind is playing with my soul..†writes Nin, isn’t it what everyone does when it comes to Luv’ and one is scared to go ahead with it ? Put the heat on, play with the other ? Play with yourself.... too ! Pourquoi Pas ?
“When one only believes in Love, one stays between sheet because this is where Love is, or isnt’ !†Christian Bobin.
“Sad†: “leave some water for my eyes so I’ll cry againâ€. I have dried up my eyes, I have cried oooh so much, I have no more tears...... Give me......
“Glitter†no comment !
“Wild is the wind.†a tribute to both Nina Simone and David Bowie.
