Though this album is new, most of the material on it dates back to 1995 and the following years, when I was playing in La Vierge du Chancelier Rolin, or when I begun playing with Ceilí Moss. Some of these songs had been discarded by the bands (who said "and rightly so"?) or just didn't fit, or sometimes were just personal stuff I didn't want to share. The exception that confirms the rule being "Three stars", a song I wrote in 2009, after the birth of my third daughter. "Back in the house" and "The next time" were for a long time regular guests in Ceilí Moss' playlists, and "Morphine sweet" appears in another version on Ceilí Moss' album "La vie sent quoi?" from 2010.
Let's say that before I fully spread my wings as a singer and songwriter, I felt had to clean my closet from all the stuff that had been gathering dust for a long time (my God, are you sure you can't get more pompous? ;) Consider this album as a musical yard sale.
