/// EP "MAKE IT TOGETHER" ///
" Tel un cliché de polaroid, ce disque représente la capture d’un instant. Il n’a pas été pensé et préparé comme le sont normalement les albums. Mais un soir de mars, il y a eu Franck, Manu et Dorian réunis dans mon salon autour de moi et mes chansons. Des notes ont volé, des arrangements se sont posés et l’idée de saisir cet instant a germé. Deux semaines après nous étions en studio, tous les trois dans une pièce et nous enregistrions. Tout a été saisi en l’état, le cœur, les respirations, les idées qui venaient, la voix cassée de l’émotion, les mouvements, les petits défauts… tout comme dans le salon. On l’a fait, ensemble. Et maintenant, vous n’avez plus qu’à vous assoir avec nous."

Magic Passerelle - Make it together - Sad for nothing - No way you can guess - Under the figtree - 3 chords & the truth
Magic Passerelle
(Paroles et musique : Mary Reynaud)
Last night a comet crashed in my dream
I first thought it might be a real bad thing
Then strawberry fairies gave me faith
And I understood the Universe just sent you back to me
Meet me on the magic passerelle
Meet me, I know our souls already knew each other well
Last night I let a piece of my heart in your bed
Please be careful it might be a little scared
Find a place where it can be safe
Open that door deep down into your chest
Meet me on the magic passerelle
Meet me, I know our souls already knew each other well
Make it together
(Paroles : Franck Carducci / Musique : Gilles Carducci)
Close your eyes and stop your cries
‘Cause I will always be there
To dry your tears and take your fears
And keep you warm with me
Take my hand until the end
I’m gonna take you away
Hold me tight all through the night
We’ll be together again
We’ll ride around the world
Nothing we’ll make us return
No need to try and you don’t need to cry
‘Cause we’re gonna make it together
Take your time, open your mind
Now all your dreams will come true
Say goodbye we’re going to fly
Let the feeling come through you
All your troubles are now over
And the best it’s to come
The sun will shine and you’ll be mine
Life has only begun
We’ll ride around the world
Nothing we’ll make us return
No need to try and you don’t need to cry
‘Cause we’re gonna make it together
No need to try and you don’t need to cry
‘Cause we’re gonna make it together
Sad for nothing
(Paroles : Mary Reynaud, Christian Labonne / Musique : Mary Reynaud)
The sky is blue and I'm in a cloudy mood
I say I'm cool but my face don't move
I'ts warm and hot but I'm freezing inside
So I stand here praying for my holy guides
My belly's full but I feel so empty
Sheryl is singing but I can't hear a thing
It's seems like everything is fine
But right my mellow heart can't figure it out
If only I was suffering, but I don't, I am healthy, strong and you know me
If only I was despairing, but I don't, I have a bright future in front of me
If only I was lonely, but I'm not, I have a lover, friends and family
I just can't help it, I guess I'm just sad for nothing.....Why ?
I'm bored while that list is extending
I'll overcome when it's time to begin
It puts me off to see all that I miss
I'm feeling weak as the day just begins
If only I was suffering, but I don't, I am healthy, strong and you know me
If only I was despairing, but I don't, I have a bright future in front of me
If only I was lonely, but I'm not, I have a lover, friends and family
I just can't help it, I guess I'm just sad for nothing
And while I'm feeling blue, guilt comes flooding in
There's nothing sadder than being sad for nothing
Why?
I know I should get up and trust my divine light
When so many struggle and still keep on the fight
I know I have no good reasons to complain
But right now my blanket is my only friend
If you don't understand, well I don't give a damn,
But it tortures me to feel like this
I 'm striving through the haze I thought could not be found
It hurts my pride to say it but I'm completely bound
I know! I’m just sad for nothing
No way you can guess
(Paroles et musique : Christian Labonne)
I think I have a crush on you
It seems like I am falling for you
I know I’m wrong, I’m so young
But there’s not much that I can do
When I know that you’re around
My heart beats not quite the same
When I hear you sing your blues
Or hum a gentle lullaby
And there’s no way you can guess how people fall in love
There’s no way you can read it in the stars
‘Cause it blows so strong
It knocks you off your feet
And leaves you without much belief
Being in love makes me sad
And so happy at the same time
I wish that I could kiss your eyes
And make that magic carpet fly
I picture us in any frame
Hand in hand down lover’s lane
If it’s a daydream, it’s my dream
And I wouldn’t be me without it
But there’s no way you can guess how people fall in love
There’s no way you can read it in the stars
‘Cause it blows so strong
It knocks you off your feet
And leaves you without much belief
I think I have a crush on you
It seems like I am falling for you
I know I’m wrong, I’m so young
But there’s not much that I can do
But there’s no way you can guess how people fall in love
There’s no way you can read it in the stars
‘Cause it blows so strong
It knocks you off your feet
And leaves you without much belief
Under the figtree
(Paroles : Mary Reynaud, Christian Labonne / Musique : Mary Reynaud)
Let's spend the afternoon under the figtree
I'm Alice in wonderland and you are a pixie
Undercover of the leaves, there is a distance
Where my asylum turns noise into silence
When Mum comes she peaks her heart
How she feels when times get hard
A pie she'll bake tonight
Happiness of those days passing by
Weariness of sweet childhood life
Let's spend the afternoon under the figtree
I'm Alice in wonderland and you are a pixie
Undercover of the leaves, there is a distance
Where my asylum turns noise into silence
With my Sweet’s soft words of love
Muttered in our shady nest
About plans we dare not plan
See them fly those sweet birds of youth
See them shine those sweet dreams we share
Seems like yesterday that tiny branch was duk. in the ground
One chance in many that it might become such a tree
He listens to nighbirds & howls at the moon when it's around
And when the moon is bright, she sends him regards from outer space
Let's spend the afternoon under the figtree
I'm Alice in wonderland would you follow me?
3 chords and the truth
(Paroles et musique : Mary Reynaud
Stuck in front of that white page
Wondering what you’d want me to say
I’m lost, in an ocean of question marks
Time to give a piece of me
To your radios, to your TVs
And what if you don’t like the part I choose?
So I take a deep breath and connect with my light
Roots deep in the ground and head high in the sky
Then I wonder what Deacon Claybourne would do?
He’d say, give them your 3 chords and the truth
I wish i could satisfy everyone
Friends or strangers in the dark
But then I forget who I truly wanna be
It works well when I trust my senses
And I love drawing smiles on your faces
But I can’t help fearing everything could stop
So I take a deep breath and connect with my light
Roots deep in the ground and head high in the sky
Then I wonder what Deacon Claybourne would do?
He’d say, give them your 3 chords and the truth
Put in front of a big audience
Thinking about nothing but being myself
Naturally embodying my soul
Channeling all the love that I can
Using my voice, my heart & my hands
Those are prisms, spreading Light on you all
Finally, it seems like I can take it all
