Un livre et un café Assise dans un jardin I don't need much Le soleil m'étreint I'm feeling its soft touch Là entre les fleurs The sunlight kisses me J'y retrouve mon coeur What more could I need Car j'ai un livre et un café C'est tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour voyager Loin d'ici Loin d'ici Loin d'ici Les mots déploient leur magie J'oublie tous mes soucis Loin d'ici Sentant les pages entre mes doigts I feel pure bliss Je me perds dans les histoires I'm in my happy place L'air sent l'été And there are butterflies Près des azalées I sit here with sparkling eyes Car j'ai un livre et un café C'est tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour voyager Loin d'ici Loin d'ici Loin d'ici Les mots déploient leur magie J'oublie tous mes soucis Loin d'ici Et j'ai un livre et un café C'est tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour voyager Loin d'ici Loin d'ici Loin d'ici Les mots déploient leur magie J'oublie tous mes soucis Loin d'ici English translation: Sitting in a garden I don't need much The sun embraces me I'm feeling its soft touch There between the flowers The sunlight kisses me I find my heart there What more could I need Because I have a book and a coffee That's all I need to travel Far from here Far from here Far from here Words unfold their magic I forget all my worries Far from here Feeling the pages between my fingers I feel pure bliss I get lost in the stories I'm in my happy place The air smells like summer And there are butterflies Near the azaleas I sit here with sparkling eyes Because I have a book and a coffee That's all I need to travel Far from here Far from here Far from here Words unfold their magic I forget all my worries Far from here And I have a book and a coffee That's all I need to travel Far from here Far from here Far from here Words unfold their magic I forget all my worries Far from here

about

This is the first single of the Cats & Coffee Cups album!

There are two versions of the song - they're both acoustic with just voice and guitar, so the difference is minimal.

On the A-side, you'll find the re-recorded version mixed and mastered by Brady Jo, and on the B-side, you'll find the version mixed and mastered by Nathan Illes.

The first version is the one that will appear on the album, hence it's the album version.

The second is the version you may have heard on radio stations such as New Music Saturday, Radio TFSC, or Radio Wigwam. This is why it's called the Radio Edit.

The idea for this song came to me in the summer of 2020 while I was sitting in a beautiful garden with nothing more but a book and a coffee. However, I only finished writing it in March 2022.

While the original idea for the song came to me in French, I spontaneously mixed English and French while writing the lyrics of the verses. Since most of the books I am reading are either in English or French, it makes perfect sense, though!

Look at the moon water. Thank God for making me smart. I listen to songs like this. We have overcome the snubbery of the world and survived. Now we make our lunar orbit. Try your best to absorb it. I like the genuinely good instrumentation. These songs are constructed intelligently so that listeners will enjoy it. Aliens await us with open arms. Michael
