All lyrics are mine, as well as most of the songs. Except for the first two, all are written in the 80’s of the previous century. Recorded poorly back then and now uploaded to Suno. That worked out... Enjoy!

Bad breed Nature or nurture? The environment we grow up in counts. Could I have ended up differently? Nostalgia, singer-songwriter, folky, country. Lyrics by me, song by Suno.
Great childhood Nostalgic song about growing up in the sixties and early seventies, playing outdoors in the woods and around a lumber mill. Singer-songwriter, folky, country. Lyrics by me, song by Suno.
Inspiration About waiting for an idea for a drawing. Or song or painting or design... Every creator knows the feeling. Singer-songwriter, folky.
Parent’s inheritance Growing up, you will get your parent’s guidance - until you decide to take another road than they had in mind. I was clearly into Jim Croce back then :-). I wrote this around 1980. Singer-songwriter, folky.
Jean Hygiene Based on the funny sounding Hi Jean Hygiene - about living with a girl who’s close to germophobia. Sixties-vibe popsong.
Hold on Sometimes you have to do your best to stay in a relationship. Nice thing in here are the lines flowing into the next verse or chorus. Singer-songwriter, folky, ballad.
On top of our hill About the dawning love with the mother of my children, in 1983 on top of the mountain in Crest, France, near the Donjon. Singer-songwriter, folky, ballad.
There’s always someone Song I wrote for a lost love in 1981, hoping to get her back. Never happened. Nice chromatic descending chords though. Folk / country.
Take off Song I wrote in 1988 about a departing love, who went to do voluntary work in Africa for half a year, after a successful and busy decade in showbusiness.
Without me Convincing a love that she would be better off without you. Country ballad.
The right to be wrong You can’t always be right - but the other one doesn’t have to rub it when you’re not. Pop.
It’s hard I was in a folkband in the early eighties, with Nick Gordon. He wrote the basic lines for this song, I finished it. Rock ’n’ rolly song.
Album 10
Scroll to below the player for short descriptions of each song and style.
The next songs are just sketches, played with only a guitar, sometimes with a beat added. Some of them are arranged and recorded - but poorly, on a crappy 4-track Amstrad in the 80’s. They are proof that the Suno tracks above are based on my original songs. Not worth listening to... except for myself, a reminder of how hard it was to make music in the old days... ;-)
