La Métropole 03:30
lyrics
Sous le ciel rose d’après minuit La nuit les visages filent en nuée d’étoiles T’es jamais seul, jamais perdu Au milieu des rues Des grand boulevards Des avenues T’imagines une nouvelle vie réinventée Une autre histoire Tu te laisses emporter Sous les lumières de la métropole La masse de monde comme des lucioles allumées Dans les artères de la métropole tu peux capter tout à ta portée Dans les vitrines la réflection D’une vie rêvée sous l’éclairage bleu des néons Incandescentes fascination qui rempli ta boussole dorée de visions colorés Sous les lumières de la métropole Brillent les étoiles, brillent les lucioles Dans les artères de la métropole La masse de monde comme des lucioles allumées Dans les artères de la métropole Tu peux tout capter, tu te laisses emporter

Echoes 05:15
lyrics
There’s a way you look at me That really turns me on I get so high I just want to cry How can I get you to stay And the way you walk to me Still echoes in my bones I fly so high I get lost in your eyes You take my breath away Can you put an end to all of this Before it ends up killing me I just can’t stand the loneliness Please tell me how you feel Before I turn to stone Just a little bit of your caress Could melt my heart away I’ll do anything you say And the way you talk to me As if we were alone I get so high I just wanna cry What if you slip away

Swan Dive 03:16
lyrics
Down and out Picking up the pieces Of everything that fell apart To ruins Swan dive into the deep Dangerous waters That river underneath of your heart in your gut Sans regret, comme le vent qui s’avance droit devant Sans regret, comme le vent qui se lève brusquement Sans regret, comme le vent qui se déchaine dans un torrent Entends-tu dans le vent La fureur de mon souffle ardent Fight the past Forget the future Risk everyhting Until there’s nothing left to give Entends-tu les battements De mon eau de mon sang Entends-tu les battements De mon coeur du torrent Sans regret, comme le vent qui s’avance droit devant Sans regret, comme le vent qui se lève brusquement Sans regret, comme le vent balayer les océans Sans regret, comme le vent qui vient renverser le temps Sans regret, comme le vent droit devant Sans regret, comme le vent Dans le creux d’un volcan Sans regret, comme le vent Tout mon eau tout mon sang Sans regret, comme le vent je me déchaine dans un torrent Sans regret, comme le vent Au rythme de mon souffle ardent

L'ouragan 03:47
lyrics
In the dark of night the flicker of a light The echo of your voice Reflected far and bright It calls for me It calls for me I never thought someone Would flip my world upright I’ve been down for so long I’d lost the will to fight But you called for me You called for me Dans l’ouragan de tes rêves innocents qui noie mon âme noire Je cueille mon destin dans le creux de tes mains comme le jour au matin You and I we flow You set my heart alight Steady as we go Revived my spark my sight It calls for me It calls for me I see through your eyes The promise of delights Deep inside my soul The fire reignites It calls for me It calls for me Comme un secret dans la vague qui avance à la nage dans la nuit la plus longue la plus sombre En silence T’es arrivée Une lame de fond qui remonte T’as renversé mes marées T’as fait détoner les bombes The riptide takes me away Further than I’ve ever been now The riptide takes me away Further than I’ve ever been before Further than I’ve ever been before

Dark Blue and Dim 04:22
lyrics
Things are much warmer down here Dark blue and dim, just like a film I might have been someone else So far away from my home The memories are thick, we never learn The book of our lives is very short The traces we drew and left behind Have all been filled by the sands of time Half remembered dreams Far down the stream Gaze at the ocean at night The stars are never quite as bright The feel of tiles on my feet Colder each day and bittersweet My heart has turned to stone There’s a chill deep in my bones Hold on, hold on My love, hold on It speeds up the closer you get Then you wake up in a cold sweat

Billie Holiday 04:19
lyrics
Deux grands océans tourmentés M’attirent, m’aspirent du rivage Le bleu de tes yeux inondés De vagues de désirs remplis d’orages À l’orée d’une nuit blanche Nos corps en transe sur Billie Holiday qui chante Embrace me, embrace me Comme un grand tournesol doré Ton coeur en fleur doux et sauvage Le torrent de tes larmes sucrées Sur mes lèvres comme une pluie d'été Une nuit, une nouvelle vie suspendue dans ma tête par l'électricité qui passe sur nos corps en tempête

Both Feet First 03:06
lyrics
Throw a brick through the glass You don’t want to be a scared cat Push and shove Through the crowd There’s no time to wait Don’t let go and don’t be torn apart it’s your day Kick and scream and leave your doubts behind it’s your way Come on and danse The die is cast What do you say We’re going to jump in Both feet first Don’t look back Don’t look down we’re going too fast Come on and danse The die is cast Protect yourself, see through your tears Everybody’s got a knife out Burning heat under your feet That’s what it’s all about

about

ECHOES was written and partially recorded in the wake of DOPAMINE in the second half of 2015. Sat on the shelf for 3 years. Unfinished. Picked up again and fleshed out in 2019 with new additions and revisions. The standing order was: no rules. The result is a bilingual collection of songs about new love, hope, resilience and loss. But overall, ECHOES is about building a new life and putting down new roots. About finding a home.
