Simple Things is out!
It's a song I wrote in 2015, when I was in a pretty weird period of transition after having finished my studies, trying to find my way earning my living as a musician.
It's about enjoying the most simple things in life, in contrast with always searching for more and more, to experiment the deepest sensations and to realise our craziest dreams, which can lead to frustration, sensations of emptiness and never-ending insatisfaction.
Earnest and truest joys actually find themselves in the simplest things we live every day. Eating good stuff, sharing laughs with friends, enjoying the beauty of nature, taking a walk, sitting in the sun, playing or listening to music, exchanging a quick smile with a stranger... These things seem so common but yet are the consistent gifts we can appreciate.
This song still deeply resonates today as I often go through periods where I struggle with expectations and desires, and is a calling to refocus on the beauty of our lives with gratitude.
As you'll notice, it's a simple folky song. I've been composing songs since I'm 16 and I'd now like to give them a real place in my professional experience. I have many songs, between pop/folk and prog/rock I'd like to produce and release, and this one symbolically opens up the path.
I'm currently working on some singles to produce and release, with different people, to gain experience and figure out with which people the alchemy happens. Two albums are awaiting already, but as I'm very meticulous with how I'd like them to sound, I want to make sure I meet the right people to work with.
A home-made version of Simple Things was released on my soundcloud back in 2015. To get it "officially" released, I re-recorded the voices in studio conditions and had it mixed by my friend Quentin, which I thank very much. The guitar you hear is the original part I home-recorded. If you'd like to hear the home-made version and see the difference, I've just re-uploaded it on my bandcamp, with slight mixing adjustments.
I very much hope you'll enjoy listening to this song!
