This song is a bit special...
Believe it or not, Sting was clearly inspired by it!
I released “My Mood Shines” in May 2019 on Youtube and Sting released his song “If It's Love” in October 2021!
Judge for yourself.
On a side note, I had asked the person in charge of hotels reservations for the band, during Sting's tour in July 2019 at Vitrolles (France), to give my name "Jo Styl" to Dominique Miller, Sting's guitarist, in the hope that something would happen....
The second version of “My Mood Shines”
It's a rant against the corporate world, especially the very big ones, where hypocrisy is rampant and you lose your soul within it! I didn't lose mine. “Unanimous Hypocrisy”.
We're being told a lot of stories! I mean by the mainstream media. I often feel like I'm being taken for a fool, don't you? And, by the way, some journalists should go back to school... “Stories To Tell”.
In 2016, a fat slob came to power in the U.S. using dubious means called post-truth, “Mr. Elephant”!
It's the story of a guy who realises one morning that his wife has left him, and “Those little Nothings” as well…
It's a song that mirrors our vision of the world when we were little and what we're going through today... Maybe the solution to our problems is to be “Philosophers”...
When you feel capable of giving up everything to devote yourself to your passion. I’ll “Surrender” to you!
I tried to make my “Roxanne”... “The Widow”.
It's the story of a guy who feels untouchable even though he's ruining lives by speculating on the stock market... “Nobody Hates Me”.
Une de mes premières chanson que j’ai reproduite… “Je Joue son Je”!
Une chanson très personnelle, “Les falaises blanches”.
