Grooves etched on your secret gardens, the finest fruits ripen in my orchard, and collect the diamond is my most precious stone. Which of us has chosen the other, I can not say, but it was a plenary of adoption, where I put my heart without emotion in your arms platinum, music, poetry, and cons everything ... It took me a long time to open your way to my songs, without a compass, through the fog of education, to advance from the fear of my parents for my future, and these rhymes that never ended in take precedence over reason ... But this long road was a necessary skill. For writing and composing, he must tame the bird in a cage in your head, steal his finest pen, and give him his freedom. Only then, he sings with all his soul. Meanwhile, it is all good and bad meetings, we discovered some of the masters and overseers, it is a better measure of what is given at birth, and what remains for us to acquire, to prune constantly up the blueprint. For a song written more than with a pencil eraser, and on stage, experience is often to throw off the whole trick to keep only the emotion most genuine, sincere. Your straight line winds between these two moments of truth, the writing and the concert. The rest is also important of course, but the essence is there. My best job, as I love you when I hold the right word when I groove on your music, when hearts open in the dark ... I would give anything for the magic moment of the end point, as stolen to eternity, and I feel privileged to still be faithful to the dream of my fifteen years ... As most of us have experienced fear, the blank page, discouragement, failure and derision. But there is always a voice above the others, a gentle voice and firm, which blows the truth, the ocean of my excuses, to reopen over the words on the loom music: Noelle. Weaver-teller, she taught me by example to stop fearing silence, but to listen. From it comes the inspiration, it is the jewel of our thoughts, our thoughts, our dreams, and a preview of each of my songs. You're not a profession like any other. No sign will tag your itinerary, no diploma does not endorse your study of Bach plus ten, not a title does not draw the horizon of a career, no contest can not enter the public ... Only a fierce instinct and perfect lucidity allow to remain oneself in front of the experts who mow talent at the moment to pick. Since the artistic director has left his place at CFO in the corridors of recording studios, your shares are down dramatically, your record label based as they merge, copy discs more crowded than they , produce more artists than they uncover. Each follows its course, loyal to advertisers who seek hearing. After the food chain, radio radiotelephony keyed to the frequency of our beta waves. The song is rediscovering your credentials by compiling the past. Television, which displays the health of a slack water on a flat screen, picks up your future shooting stars in the Michelin Guide Relais & Chateaux, four glass walls, to debit their true story about our credit cards.
I had the chance to reach the public ear before the drawbridge not rise on the camera light-filled, silver and gold plate, I can not be confused with you, dear job, where six guitar strings and four words are enough to make hearts beat forever.
And far from the feverish music stunned us into car parks, shops, railway stations, airports, elevators, telephones and expectations of our mobile ringtones, I am sending you this letter just to thank you providing me for over thirty years, the privilege of preserving my freedom to write, produce, edit and sing in my heart. Between us, it is life, to love. Feel the public on Board, finding the perfect tempo and keep it together with the musicians through the piece without metronome, without teleprompter, without preset sequence, just by the magic of shared emotion, receiving in return words the wave of tenderness that fogs our eyes on the scene, it whenever you bless me from among many to be in my place, having opened his heart to all these unknown and feel at home among them, as within a family. I have received from you, in terms of career, far more than I had dared only dream when I met you. Affection discreet and modest public recognition of my peers, authors, composers and publishers, respect for the profession, a great bunch of official rewards are not sought, and not denied that we do not, but I could dedicate to my father before he leaves us, and the miracle to be ever present across the generations in the friendship of a loyal and friendly public ... This insolent chance came at a price, sometimes heavy and painful, but that led us to this island intact invaluable independence, pleasure and freedom, where human and artistic encounters are marred by any false pretense, where every moment that passes is the most precious of all ...
I still have the strength, desire, passion.
You cross a storm with roots and power are unfathomable. The gradual disappearance of your physical media makes you waver on your databases, internet tickle, and this time you'll get not only with recipes for success and inner angels ... We'll have open ears to the sustainable development of the succession and biodiversity of styles, providing a showcase for the excess of talent that abounds in the regions, find the balance between the media frenzy and the wall of silence ...
Artists will always be the pillars of the temple. Some have died in floods of inconsistency, others will be stranded on the beaches unpublished. Noah's Ark Festivals, independent producers, home studios, radio stations and small local venues will play its role as incubator of talent, given the Titanic, the Prestige and the Amoco Cadiz, which will continue to drift over the seas world, staring at the sky in search of a new giant star ...
Do not miss this opportunity to show your wealth, the real one, which is a verse-chorus image of an entire era, that made you love the song for what it is: a piece of dream composed by love of one for the happiness of all ...
Sitting in front of Claude Déjacque apple, I see the fruits of this secret garden, as the harvest of a lifetime.
I love you until the end of the road ...
Yves
"I knew it was my life
I did not know but I wanted
To sing for you to be proud for having chosen me ... "
