1.	The smell of your Hair 02:50	lyrics	buy track
The smell of your hair Became the smell of my skin After spending days here In the middle of nowhere Only the sound of the birds Sometimes the wind We didn’t talk too much At first I took it badly But deep down that’s a sign When people can easily deal With silence peacefully Looking for adventures Reasons for living Journey after journey I will know better about me Trying not to think About the end And possibly I’ll never see you again It’s hard to keep in mind The wonderful memories Shipshaped in a box of souvenirs Shipshaped in a box of souvenirs Even if it hurts To turn magic into tragedy Even if it hurts To turn magic into tragedy
2.	Ne pas trop rester bleue 02:38	lyrics
Le verre à moitié vide étrange perspective Pour résumer la vie Si tu songes à partir à quoi bon réfléchir Autant ne plus rien dire Fixation sur l’élan pour aller de l’avant Vaut-il encore mieux ne pas trop rester bleue Plusieurs vies dans une vie attends-toi aux surprises Pas seulement aux pires Il importe bien peu de se voir malheureux Tu marches avec le feu Vaut-il encore mieux ne pas trop rester bleue C’est écrit quelque part sur la porte du phare Vaut-il encore mieux ne pas trop rester bleue C’est écrit quelque part sur la porte du phare
3.	Lady Adventurer 03:31	lyrics	buy track
She belongs to nowhere nobody Free spirit no boundary Modern time lady adventurer Modern time lady adventurer Eager for new sensation Who’s got no fear around the world Modern time lady adventurer Modern time lady adventurer Under dark skies troubled with doubt Sometimes clear then confusion Modern time lady adventurer Modern time lady adventurer
4.	Sur mes joues rosées 01:55	lyrics	buy track
Je marche seule sur la plage J’ai patienté C’est maintenant évident Les dés sont jetés Ca valait la peine d’attendre, d’espérer Tendres maladresses qui éclipsent tout le passé Loin des miens isolée Je ne me suis jamais sentie si entourée Les vagues à mes pieds Que de nuages en pagaille Le vent glacé Je sens pourtant ta chaleur Sur mes joues rosées Fantastique trouvaille bien méritée Rencontré en rêve bien avant de te connaître Loin dans mon désert je vois la roue qui tourne Disparaissent les maux Sous le sable et l’eau
5.	Not Evil 02:54	lyrics	buy track
After spending so many days Finding peace of mind in my mental monastery I will tell you all about The lies I told the fake I made Didn’t want to be mean I guess I’m not evil I’ve got drowned in the human filth What’s that supposed to mean? This is what you’ve made of me So close to think I sold To the devil everything I own Didn’t want to be mean I guess I’m not evil I’ve got drowned in the human filth It’s gonna take a miracle To overcome all the blows Dug deep inside my soul Didn’t want to be mean I guess I’m not evil I’ve got drowned in the human filth Didn’t want to be mean I guess I’m not evil I’ve got drowned in the human filth
6.	My love is right 03:21	lyrics	buy track
I have to clean the bad vibrations make everything ok I have to clean the bad vibrations make everything ok Something inside me begs me to hang on Something inside me keeps repeating Keeps repeating My love is right My love is right My love is right Thunder in my heart I was going to lose the fight Thunder in my heart I was going to lose the fight Through my souvenirs I never realize love was so hard to give Please don’t blame me for being myself For being myself My love is right My love is right My love is right My love is right My love is right My love is right
7.	Magical Cowboy 02:37	lyrics	buy track
One night Vinnie told me a story of a magical cowboy who was living lonely Surrounded by rocks, dust and trees Not that lonely cos he knew how to talk To birds, snakes and coyotes His shy sad eyes Mesmerized Strong and wise But you could feel something broken in his heart Nobody knew how he ended up here His mind was as wild as the Texas wind Nobody knew how he ended up here This mysterious cowboy could do anything Magical hands who could heal He spent hours watching the sun One night Vinnie came and told the truth to me The cowboy was cursed for the eternity Like a ghost searching for his lost love A poor damn ghost looking for his lost love
8.	Me pardonner 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Serais-je jugée pour ce que j'ai fait? Pardonne-toi, bonne chance avec ça J’ai essayé de me pardonner Avec des psys, des chamans, des charlatans Et soudain j’ai réalisé Que je ne voulais pas vraiment Me pardonner Non! La vie est courte On devrait faire juste ce dont on a envie Arrêter de penser à ça Continuellement voilà! Il faudrait arrêter d’attendre la permission La validation Serais-je jugée pour ce que j'ai fait? Pardonne-toi, bonne chance avec ça J’ai essayé de me pardonner Mais en fait non non non non
9.	Ciel mer azur 02:44	lyrics	buy track
Entre ciel, mer, azur et soleil brûlant L’espace se remplit de nature luxuriante Tu as conquis mon coeur Par ta sauvagerie Ta joie Ta musique Au fil des kilomètres Autre planète Sur le sol taché d’huile D’une station service Les décors défilent Toile fantastique Je ne me lasserai jamais Je me précipiterai Pour aller voir le soleil Pour aller voir le soleil Entre ciel, mer, azur et soleil
10.	Au diable le coeur arraché 03:26	lyrics	buy track
Le premier réflexe du matin est d’aller vers la baie vitrée Oubli instantané de la nuit au psychédélisme agité A ce moment je relativise Et réalise Le soleil brille et fait écho A notre optimisme nouveau La douceur de ton dos Et même s’il avait plu Au diable le coeur arraché Et l’amour maudit Et même si vient la pluie Ce sentiment oublié n’est plus à craindre Agréable et troublant Agréable et tentant Au diable le coeur arraché Les errances du passé Au diable le coeur arraché Et l’amour maudit

about

After the Brazilian musical getaway that was her two EPs Coração Louco and Eu Voo, Laure Briard is back with Ne pas trop rester bleue, a fourth album that draws its inspiration from the farthest reaches of the Californian desert. In these ten solar tracks, we find the influence of Lee Hazlewood, Carol King or Laetitia Sadier. This new opus, colored with pop and psychedelia, throws back to the sixties French pop of its predecessors, notably that of Françoise Hardy; introspective and poetic storytelling, where the personal resonates with universal meaning. Resolutely optimist, Ne pas trop rester bleue celebrates rebirth and letting go. A tone that contrasts with the melancholia of Laure Briard’s beginnings. Ne pas trop rester bleue reveals a new side of a surprising artist, who means to renew herself with each album.

about

Laure Briard Toulouse, France

A worthy descendant of the legacy of Françoise Hardy, Margo Guyan, and Vashti Bunyan, Laure Briard creates intimate music between realism and poetry. Performing as much in the styles of pop and garage rock as bossa nova, she weaves bits of pscyhedelic yé-yé, where softness merges with the callousness of our existences. ... more
