Sunflower Fields Travelling on some old southern road With a blue sky And my thoughts just fly away And my eyes wanna take pictures of this scene For as wide as you can see There are sunflower fields As far as the horizon line Like a bright sea Full of joy and luminosity They evoke a feeling inside of me So secure and yet so free Flowing through me like a stream When I look into your eyes The sun is shining through your mind Like there are sunflower fields inside Reflecting in your smile Let me take a bath in this sunflower sea Let me look into the sky Where I am free to be myself Where I can relax, where I can breathe Let me tell you how it feels In your soul of sunflower fields When I look into your eyes The sun is shining through your mind Like there are sunflower fields inside Reflecting in your smile And when I look into your eyes Your sunflower look just warms my mind You take away my fears inside with Sunflower feelings left behind ************************ Petite planète Paroles: Franck Deschamps Ma petite planète T'es devenue poubelle Tu n'as plus l'air très net Et tu n'es plus très belle Ma petite planète Tu ne tournes plus rond On marche sur la tête Nous pauvres fanfarons Que fait-on de toi? Nous les savants fous? Aller où sans toi? Sans cesse on te bafoue Que fait-on de toi? Aller où sans toi? Ma petite planète Tes forêts et tes mers N'inspirent plus les poètes En devenant des chimères Ma petite planète On rêve de l'univers D'y faire un pied-à-terre Un Eden tout en vert Que fait-on de toi? Nous les savants fous? Aller où sans toi? Sans cesse on te bafoue Que fait-on de toi? Aller où sans toi? Ma planète bleue Bleue des coups qu'on t'inflige C'est vraiment ce qu'on veut Et ta souffrance m'afflige Ma planète en noir Qui portera ton deuil De l'infini, d'un soir De l'espace, ton cercueil? Que fait-on de toi? Nous les savants fous? Aller où sans toi? Sans cesse on te bafoue Que fait-on de toi? Aller où sans toi? Que fait-on de toi? Nous les savants fous? Aller où sans toi? Sans cesse on te bafoue Que fait-on de toi? Aller où sans toi? ****************** Praying Hands A photo album lying on my desk With sweet and bitter memories By now the wind has turned a million times When nothing ever stays the same ‘Cause you are there and I am here And no-one is to blame Well, clocks have stopped and time’s no longer real ‘Cause you will never leave my mind We’ve picked our dreams from fancy trees And now they’re hanging framed on our hearts’ walls And when I fear they slowly fade Your voice meets mine when you call ‘Cause we are just as close As praying hands When one hand is mine And the other one is yours We won’t run out of time There’s no distance in our minds ‘Cause we’ll just hold on tight The wind in the trees is singing our song In the golden autumn light And those falling leaves they’re dancing And they’ll surely find their way And like by chance they’ll meet again Well, our thoughts are just the same ‘Cause we are just as close As praying hands When one hand is mine And the other one is yours We won’t run out of time There’s no distance in our minds ‘Cause we’ll just hold on tight Now, look the sea won’t run out of water Like we won’t run out of trust If I found a seashell in that sea so deep and wide Sure I’d find a pearl inside ‘Cause we are just as close As praying hands When one hand is mine And the other one is yours We won’t run out of time There’s no distance in our minds ‘Cause we’ll just hold on tight

about

In May 2020, when Covid had fully hit and the first lockdowns were happening, Oli from Radio TFSC (radiotfsc.com) invited many artists to record a few of their songs unplugged for a series of shows that were aired on his radio station. I felt very honoured he asked me, too. It was fun to be part of this wonderful show! Fun fact: I wasn't actually sitting on the couch while recording these songs. I hope you did while either listening to this on the radio back then but if you didn't you can do so now! Yes - there are couches in this garden!

I chose Sunflower Fields, a song I wrote back in 2002, Petite planète which was my current single at the time, and Praying Hands, a song I wrote in 1998 but which was only released officially in May 2020, shortly after I recorded this.

I didn't have these recordings mixed or mastered as the idea of the project was to just record something at home, not something polished. It wasn't meant to sound perfect. It was meant to reflect the atmosphere of the TFSC Family. You can either listen to the whole show where I introduce each of the songs or you can listen to each of the songs individually. Enjoy!
