1.	stay 02:34	lyrics	buy track
STAY I find my way beneath your touch, I close my eyes and see your light; You soothe the pain that burns inside, you calm my storm with a sigh, but I can’t see you anymore. I don’t know why, it seems so strange, we turn in circles, yet still we change; I don’t believe these words you say, you say, this time you’re leaving for good- Do I make myself understood? Do I make myself understood? I need the air that breathes inside of you, I don’t believe you know how much it hurts to hear these words, don’t run away, please bear my madness oh, stay- will you stay? so don’t run away, please bear my madness… won’t you stay? Please bear my madness…

Caché, dans son atelier, un coin perdu, un fond de rue… Il voit le monde du bout de ses doigts et ne trouve la paix que dans du marbre et du bois. A chaque lueur du nouveau jour venu, le marteau chante entre ses mains nues Ses yeux, si vieux, respirent tout ce qu’ils voient mais ne trouvent que la peur dès qu’ils nous aperçoivent… Alors, dès la tombée de la nuit, il s’acharne et il détruit son univers de pierres… Et là, entouré de ses débris, il ne vit que dans ses rêves… Le sculpteur malgré lui. Il tremble à la seule idée que le monde dehors oserait juger son jardin de secrets tissé sur une toile de poussière et des fibres de terre… Alors, dès la tombée de la nuit, il s’acharne et il détruit son univers de pierres… Et là, entouré de ses débris, il ne vit que dans ses rêves… Le sculpteur malgré lui. Sa fureur au matin apaisée il s’effondre dans les bras de Morphée; mais son sommeil hanté de fantômes brisés l’oblige à se lever et tout recommencer… A la lumière encore fraîche il retrouve dans la glaise ses compagnons maudits qui, libérés de son esprit, se mettent tous à se moquer de l’homme qui a peur de vivre… Alors, dès la tombée de la nuit, il s’acharne et il détruit son univers de pierres… Et là, seul, entouré de ses débris, il ne vit que dans ses rêves… Le sculpteur malgré lui…
5.	paradise 05:33	lyrics	buy track
In the embrace of illusion I have found paradise. She lulls me with a vision of what a soul could be… The mind is set alight by a single spark and the body follows willingly. Paradise, like God, is what you want her to be. In the chaos of confusion you will find paradise. Here, in the realm without reason, life itself will suffice, for no truth outweighs another once you learn to see that a thought often reflects the mind that set it free. Paradise, like Truth, is what you want him to be. You and I may live worlds apart, speak in tongues that can’t relate and blame our differences on fate; But to the rain, all ground is the same, all rivers flow as one into the ocean. All water is just a part of the greater whole; The ultimate existence justifies itself by simply being. Paradise, like Existence, is what You let it be.
6.	la leçon 02:19	lyrics	buy track
A quoi ça sert ? qu'est-ce qu'ils vont faire ? et ces mouvements rapides ou lents juste un détail ou une trouvaille ? et cette larme, serait-ce un drame ? et ce sourire un souvenir de scène, de vie... ou bien d'envie… Oui mais pourquoi ça ne vient pas ? puis le déclic donne la réplique et l'air de rien comme un refrain une illusion, un autre ton ou une image sur un visage qui se questionne ou qui s'étonne de ce quatrain entre ses mains...

When I set this world ablaze, will you dare to walk beside me through flame and pain? As I hide in fields of rain would you dare to lie beside me a gun in hand? I’m not quite sure anymore, I’m not quite sure what this is for… Sleep tight tonight, all alone, You are all the world to me Sleep tight tonight, all alone, Sleep tight tonight- you are all the world to me… If I leave these words in your hands, could you carry all their weight upon your fragile shoulders? Would you try to understand that what I do, I do for you, You are my home… I am so tired of Black and Tans, I am so tired, could you understand? Sleep tight tonight, all alone, You are all the world to me Sleep tight tonight, home alone, You are all the world to me Sleep tight tonight, all alone, You are all the world to me Sleep tight tonight, all alone… All alone… you are all the world to me your are all my life to me I would bring these walls crashing down, if you would ask I would tear this house down to the ground if you should ask… You’re all I’ve got… I would bring these walls crashing down, if you would ask I would tear this house down to the ground if you should ask… Don’t make me choose…I’m begging you… All alone… You are my life… You are my soul.

If you think Time has played you badly, then look around, you’ll see you’re wrong; Fate only plays those distance games with strangers, but true friends never seem to fade. You and I are tied together forever in the songs we have lived and breathed, my friend, you know, Time is Ours… I could fly across the ocean, I will sing my song and remember, I would lie in my bed and whisper all the passion you have stirred in these words because, my friend, Time is Ours.

about

ENGLISH

I first met Pierre-Olivier Mornas at a party in Paris in the fall of 1996; after a jam session, he asked me to compose the music for his first short film (Les Petits Chevaux) ; how could I refuse such an offer? Little did I know where the road would lead…
Having become friends, Pierre-O kept me in the loop for his different projects. 4 years later, his two short films having won numerous prizes in festivals around Europe (including the prestigious young directors prize at the Cannes festival in 2000), Pierre-O was ready to produce his first feature film. While Pierre-O prepped the shoot, I put together a rough collection of songs and ideas on a CD so that, on the first day of shooting, he would be able to put on headphones on the set and get into the mood of the different scenes… A trick I learnt working in L.A back in the 90’s for the master himself, David Lynch. 
The shoot was an amazing experience; done on a shoestring budget, the cast & crew dove heart and soul into the project, following the example of Ze Boss, Pierre-O, who was acting, directing, and revising his screenplay all at the same time… Crazy Bastard!! (he started smoking 2 packs a day…) The shoot over, I started working seriously on the soundtrack with him, using the rushes and roughcuts he brought over every other day. I brought in my childhood friend, Ludo Garcia on the piano as well as my bro Fly, Nico Baudino on the sax, Anne-So for some lyrics, and miss Constance Amiot to help with the soundtrack…
The final result was independently released in France on another tiny budget… and managed to win over 20 prizes in various festivals (including The Public’s choice at the Paris festival and the best movie and the New York French film festival). A year later, the DVD came out, with English subtitles by yours truly… Now we’re all waiting for Pierre-O’s next adventure (I’ve seen a couple of scripts… WATCH OUT!!!)

FRANCAIS

L’aventure de Comme Si de Rien n' Etait a commencé pour moi quand j’ai rencontré Pierre Olivier Mornas lors d’une fête en 1996; il réalisait alors son premier court-métrage, Les Petits Chevaux, et me demanda de composer la musique… Comment refuser une telle proposition? Quatre ans plus tard (ses 2 cours métrages ayant gagné de nombreux prix, dont la quinzaine des jeunes réalisateurs à Cannes), Pierre-O m’envoya le scénario pour son premier long métrage,Comme Si de Rien n'Etait. J’ai été immédiatement bouleversé par cette histoire et l’ambiance m’a tout de suite inspiré.
Pendant que Pierre-O préparait son tournage, j’ai commencé à réunir des chansons et préparé une feuille de route pour la bande originale. Le premier jour du tournage, je lui ai remis un CD avec les idées musicales; suivant les conseils du maître David Lynch, l’idée était qu’il puisse se mettre dans l’ambiance de chaque scène avant de la tourner (un exercice difficile vu qu’il réalisait et jouait le rôle principal…)
Le tournage fut une aventure collective extraordinaire, avec une équipe de techniciens et de comédiens soudée autour du Big Boss (qui c’est remis à fumer 2 paquets par jour…) Une fois en poste production, les choses sérieuses ont commencées pour moi. Travaillant en collaboration étroite, Pierre-O et moi avons développé les esquisses originales de la BO. J’ai fait appel à mon ami d’enfance, Ludo Garcia, ainsi que mes autres “soul mates” musicaux, Fly, Nicola Baudino (sax), Anne-Sophie De Goy, et Constance Amiot. En travaillant directement avec les “rush” du film, petit à petit, la BO a vu le jour… Le résultat ne se fit pas attendre: Comme Si de Rien n' Etait a gagné plus de 20 prix en festival (dont le prix du Public au festival de Paris et le prix du meilleur film au festival du film français de New York). Un an plus tard, le DVD est sorti… On est tous en attente maintenant de la prochaine aventure que Pierre-O est en train de préparer…
