lyrics

Shades of gray, shadow play
I'm your fickle friend
I'm colder than ice when I need some space
Fighting fire with fire
Our expectations high
But the tide was far too low
We've still got so much to learn

We got through, day by day
Stumbling as we went
Learning to fly was the hardest part
We broke our wings in two
We've walked a mile in each others shoes
Why can't we try it again ?

Somewhere, up above, I hear laughing
Echoes fill the night. Are you there ?
If we reach and form an arc, like an exclamation mark
Across the sky, we can fly

Prophecies of love and lust
Were watered down and left to rust
While chimeras and pipe-dreams saved the day

All it takes is faith and trust
And a little bit of pixie dust
Will help two early birds along the way

All good things must come to an end (and all that stuff)
So they say ...
Like the foreboding "Of Mice and Men"
And "Brief Encounter" too
We walked a while, long enough to choose
We still have so much
We still have so much
We still have so much to learn

High above the ground angels dancing
Remnants of the light that we shared
Casting shadows around your park, glowing faintly after dark
A satellite of love

Somewhere down the line you've got to let it go
Somewhere down the line you've got to let it go

about

Jean-Michel George Paris, France

Like stepping stones in a storm-tossed sea
These hand-picked songs propound to be
The safest path from you to me ...

Anglo-French composer, songwriter and singer.

Using film references, humour, nostalgia and stories with a twist as building blocks, my music is the by-product of a life spent swinging from soundtracks to pop, classical to EDM, jazz to new-wave

I hope you enjoy this selection
