    "Vieux ?" est sorti le 29 Janvier 2021. Il a été enregistré lors de la pandémie de COVID 19, en 2020, entre Portland (Oregon), Paris (France), Carleton-sur-mer (Québec) et Angers (France).

    Les 10 chansons qui composent l'album explorent le sentiment de vieillesse qui nous envahit de temps en temps. Dans un monde qui nous échappe, coincé entre les "Baby Boomers" et les "Millenials". On se remémore les années 90 et le temps où il n'y avait pas encore d'internet ni de téléphones portables.


    Featuring Sami Rouissi au chant, Jonny Arsenault à la guitare, Fabrice Falandry au lap steel, David Lipkind à l'harmonica, Patti Kaiser au coeurs et Alain Gandit (arrangements)

lyrics

INVISIBLE FAN

ANYWAY NEVER MEANT THAT MUCH TO ME
I WAS INVISIBLE, AND YOU DID NOT SEE
I TRIED COPYING OTHERS THAT YOU ADMIRED
IT KEPT ME BUSY, BUT YOU WERE TOO TIRED

YOU MISSED IT AGAIN, NO ONE IN THE STANDS
NO CHEERS OF SUPPORT, NO CLAPPING OF HANDS
COOL IN SCHOOL, AND IN THE BAND
HANGING WITH THE BOYS, A CLOWN WITH SMALL HANDS

NOW I’M HERE ON STAGE, WON’T YOU LOOK AT ME?

CHORUS:
INVISIBLE FAN, YOU ARE JUST MY
INVISIBLE FAN

DON’T CHEER TOO LOUD, OTHERS MIGHT SEE
BE AN INVISIBLE FAN, YOU JUST EMBARRASS ME
I’M A GROWN UP NOW, I DON’T NEED YOU HERE
IT’S NO BIG DEAL, HAVEN’T I MADE THAT CLEAR?

I TURN AROUND, BUT YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE
I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE, CAUSE I JUST DON’T CARE

CHORUS:
INVISIBLE FAN, CAN’T YOU BE MY
INVISIBLE FAN

WHEN WALLS CAME DOWN AND YOU WEREN’T THERE
I SAT ALONE, IN MY DEEP DESPAIR
MY FAN WAS GONE, AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS
NO ONE IS HERE, I AM ALONE WITH MY FEAR

NOW I LOOK BACK, I SEE ALL THE TIMES
YOU TRIED TO BE THERE, BUT I WAS BLIND
I WISH YOU WERE HERE, TO CHEER IN THE STANDS
MY INVISIBLE FAN, PLEASE COME TAKE MY HAND

NOW I CAN SEE, YOU’RE WEREN’T TOO LOUD
INVISIBLE FAN, YOU SHOULDN’T BE

CHORUS:
INVISIBLE FAN, I JUST MISS MY
INVISIBLE FAN
