The Shed 00:51

How am I supposed to understand? The dark, the light and the heavens Is it a feeling or a truth? That all the world is hurting me When I close my eyes as the night comes And my bed is so cold Felt so lonely, these times And now should I sing that I’ve nothing to lose anymore Take a breath It’s sometimes hard, but it’s maybe the only way To have a look at the sunshine Raising your head towards the light And if the light gives you a smile You got to take it as you can ‘cause she’s alone in the heavens And it’s nothing to lose anymore Do you wanna dance with me? We’ve nothing to lose anymore

Card Castle 03:41
I live on a card castle like we all do and I'm wondering if it's taller and taller the day an air stream will go trough like it always used to it will surely fall apart and we'll have to find a hideaway and we'll have to grow too to find a hideaway and I know that I wanna go, I wanna go with you I wanna go, I wanna go it's true I wanna go, I wanna go with you I wanna go, I wanna go it's true love, is it a thing we can count on? will we be able to keep it? the day the world is collapsing oh I know nothing, but I want you to be with me to find a hideaway oh I don't know were it is to find a hideaway but I'm sure that I wanna go, I wanna go with you I wanna go, I wanna go it's true I wanna go, I wanna go with you I wanna go, I wanna go it's Half past eight, half past nine on the clock Don’t wanna wait When do we leave these walls of craziness It’s half past ten, half past eleven and so on Don’t wanna wait When do we leave ? I wanna go, I wanna go with you I wanna go, I wanna go it's true I wanna go, I wanna go with you I wanna go, I wanna go it's

What happened to the sky? Behind the clouds is it still blue? And if it has not changed what about you? Remind me everything we’ve done remind me, was there love before? Tell me the last time you saw a butterfly flying trough the two lands was it black white or blue, was it a lie or a little mess? Remind me the taste of a sweet home remind me, was there love before this hole I tried to understand harder and harder but now, I just know that my silences have made a part of our little mistakes

J’ai appris à jouer en quelques éclats d’âme de tes mots inconnus que j’aime tant chanter que j’aime tant torturer de mon ignorance j’ai appris à jouer de ce voile si fragile sur mes messages cachés et de cette assurance là où je ne veux plus dire où je ne peux plus parler qu’à travers ton image j’ai appris à aimer la force dans ma voix quand tu es mon courage que tu me tiens debout à prononcer ton nom et écorcher ton corps Et si je froisse encore de quelques dissonances de quelques maladresses la courbe de mes phrases pardonne-moi alors d’emprunter en tes lignes ces mots que je t’adore et qui me sont refuge et pour te remercier je ferai de ce don la plus belle des cachettes le plus haut des murmures

I used to know times unbreathing and every day seemed like it’s another I used to know dives unliving and part of me felt like I was over I know it sounds like everyone else said but you know that it’s no more a matter of days so don’t you stop this thunder I wanna hear it loud, hear it loud If you care about my long time blues and you know how long it’s been If you care about my long time blues please let the time spread out and let the light be back in the morning Leaved city, blinding lights every friend, every smile but one to see how it feels, being with the right ones building the good days in a good place around the water turning clear the instant worth the end and you said to me, if everything is done we’ll know that it happened I know it sounds like everyone else said but you know when it blows here so don’t you stop the wind’s flow I wanna feel it loud, feel it loud If you care about my long time blues and you know how long it’s been If you care about my long time blues please let the time spread out and let the light be back in the morning Oh, I wanna breathe it out Oh, I wanna breathe it out for the rest of my days for the rest of my days I found the place where water falls down you brought me there in the morning sun and I realized it’s everything I needed If you care about my long time blues and you know how long it’s been If you care about my long time blues please let the time spread out and let the light be back in the morning

Waking Up 01:51
I’m waking up Standing for every instant Light is here I’ll see the colors in the backyard These times are up and every moment is counting Now it’s done I’ll see the colors in the backyard

about

This album is my first Solo album. It was wrtitten, played, and recorded in a garden shed, where I used to live these past 4 years. These songs are te result of a long journey, learning a lot about music, recording and mixing techiques and about myself. I think this album is mostly about finding yourself in the values of simplicity, acceptation and contemplation.

Some friends went to support me a lot, you can hear some of them as additionnal musicians along the tracks.
Consider buying the album if you like it!
Hope you enjoy the music ;)

about

Neige Nantes, France

Neige handles origami as well as words. If the artist officiates in different formations based in Nantes (FR), here, there is only him, his voice, and the hairs standing up. For his first album “Colors in the Backyard” composed, played, arranged and mixed alone in a garden shed transformed into a studio, he speaks to us of a contemplative gaze, about poetry, acceptance, and simplicity. ... more
