Nice Guy 03:00
You believed in a miracle When I was a mirage Forget if you're able It's time to turn the page The chances of existence fill the void of my absence The chances of existence punctuate my silence I could have been a nice guy but I met you Please don't ask me why I tramped on you I know I only took the carnal You shouldn't be upset Because there's nothing personal Why don't you turn the page The chances of existence fill the world of my absence The chances of existence punctuate my silence I could have been a nice guy but I met you Please don't ask me why I tramped on you

Dying Love 02:56
I've got some few questions About your strange behaviour Like a kind of curse I'm not sure, for what I'm looking for For your answers I'm finally ready Even if you break my verticality No more silence, no more whispers Just a free speech to save a fragile bond If you don't deign to answer I will leave without a glance At least I've tried to save a dying love There's no guilty or innocent Just a inexorable fall

Policy 04:04
The stupid limit of one hundred and forty characters The policy of tiny love affairs Do you think I can quantify my despair? Do you think I can quantify my despair? The foolish limit makes us easier We must believe in ourselves And accept the extent of our contradictions The stupid limit of one hundred and forty characters The policy of hasthtags from everywhere Love and hate emptied of their meaning Love and hate emptied of their meaning The foolish limit makes us easier We must believe in ourselves And accept the extent of our contradictions Getting tired of my despair Getting tired of love affairs

Colourblind 03:20
I was there to make colours in this unlived life I became a painter I found the texture that defines my future It makes sense to me to move forward I really was the actor in my own life you only wanted to play a supporting role I was the painter, was the painter of these dilapidated walls I was the painter of these dilapidated walls My well-being is in colour Regrets are black and white I chose to live I change my perspective Regrets are black and white I really was the actor in my own life you only wanted to play a supporting role I was the painter, was the painter of these dilapidated walls I was the painter of my unlived life Colourblind

Shades 03:02
Do you hear the fury rumble It was a stream and it became a sea So don't you see the resentment So don't you feel the resentment Are you deaf or are you blind? Disdain is your state of mind Are you deaf or are you blind? Disdain is your state of mind My love is elastic Our meetings are coated with plastic I'm an eternal romantic So you think I'm weak Are you deaf or are you blind? Disdain is your state of mind Are you deaf or are you blind? Disdain is your state of mind I'm not looking for your recognition I know the price of damnation

Rebellion 02:07
I simulated love I simulated love And I was above My own convictions I refused to go crazy I refused to go crazy And I felt betrayed By my own cynicism It's so easy to hate It's so easy to create A fake rebellion To stop this poison I took up arms Needle as a gun Abandon is my rebellion I escaped from this prison By stepping aside I don't need to hide I found a reason It's so easy to hate It's so easy to create A fake rebellion

Archangel 03:43
From the shame to the grave I couldn't find my path I wanted to grow old with you I felt inhuman You showed me your deadly disdain Your divine psalms, my nervous laughter Have broken the fragile balance of our romance Your divine psalms, my nervous laughter Have broken the fragile balance of our romance From the shame to the grave I couldn't find my path I wanted to grow old with you I felt inhuman You showed me your deadly disdain Through your steel blue eyes I went from hell to heaven I messed up and I know the price to pay I messed up and I'm ready to accept Your divine psalms, my nervous laughter Have broken the fragile balance of our romance Your divine psalms, my nervous laughter Have broken the fragile balance of our romance I'm the angel with broken wings I'm the angel that is crushed on earth I'm the angel who's revealed to himself

Thespian 03:41
So why didn't you just settle for that It's my pleasure to be a twat For all my life I was in a posture Without expecting anything from the future I never said I love you I know it's a failure for you Hands on your hips You blow on my lips I never said I love you I know it's a failure for you Hands on your hips The mask is cracked, the collar turned up I move away from this bad role The mask is cracked, the collar turned up I move away from this bad role So why didn't you just settle for that It's my pleasure to be a twat I never said I love you I know it's a failure for you Hands on your hips You blow on my lips I never said I love you I know it's a failure for you Hands on your hips You blow on my lips I never said I love you I know it's a failure for you

Unfaithful 03:03
I spoke to her For the very first time In different places On the streets On the bus Sometimes on the train Even on the plane Maybe I never met her So many faces I've kissed So many bodies I've touched So many bodies She was the one The only one in my heart I was just passing through Yes she was oh yes she was My eternal quest It was love at first sight Maybe I never met her (who knows?) So many faces I've kissed So many bodies I have touched So many bodies

Homesickness 03:26
He crossed the Atlantic For the love of a woman From this new world He started all over again A strange feeling came Like a kind of loneliness Fatherhood was the anchor of his ship He was no longer in his place in this harbour Fatherhood was the anchor of his ship He was no longer in his place in this harbour He ran from homesickness Time and everyday life were often sadness The 6 strings as an armour Melodies like swords Like the besieged temple in the holy land He sometimes thought to move away He was so tired of these lonely days He sometimes thought to move away He was so tired of these lonely days
11.
Months 04:09
I spent months being chained To your chimeras I was the little prince of Paris You were the marquise of my dreams It started in winter to end in summer It started in winter to end in summer I could only escape Through substitute means Little by litlle I was drowing in lust I survived because you trampled my lust It started in winter to end in summer It started in winter to end in summer I could only escape Through substitute means

about

First and foremost, Meyverlin is a magical and unforeseen meeting of three headstrong guys, whose personalities are as complementary as they are different - an ex-member of cult
French band Les Freluquets, eager to get back into action, an assumed lover of shooting stars, already spotted under the fitting alias My Raining Stars, and a passionate and motivated sweet and tender hooligan.

Aside from this near accidental friendship, Meyverlin is above all a three-syllable hydra that is led by three true music lovers who have faithfully ingested, wove together and spat out six decades of British pop with a panache that is truly only befitting to them. Gilles writes typically razor-sharp lyrics, while Philippe and Thierry compose, arrange, refine, and perform the entire repertoire with a palpable and infectious passion.

From the golden age of jangly pop, as epitomised by the likes of The Smiths and The Housemartins, to the poignant shores of dream pop embodied by the legendary Sarah Records catalogue, one is reminded of an entire bygone music scene, gone but not forgotten, that glows and burns as if it has just been birthed, and rising from its ashes are the eleven songs that make up their debut album "Daily Events". Despite the obvious and accepted influences, there’s a fresh, original, and emotional continent emerging here, exposing a fragile balance between gravity (the sharp lyrics, the deep basslines) and brightness (the hazy guitars, the intricate and groovy rhythms), that merges feverish craftsmanship with a delicate and natural skillset.
With "Daily Events", the trio has embedded poetic rebellion into routine everyday life, revealing a melancholy so heartbreaking that it would make the angels blush, and facing up to a possible dark fate with front-loaded acerbic yet moving words and airborne melodies.
