_ _ _ _ _ had the chance to win a contest in France [E] with Les Invoques, which is one of the big magazines.
_ There was a contest and you had to send once a _ video of it. _
_ I won that, so it was _ _ record label and stuff like that.
_ I made my first record.
I mean, my friends barely listened to my music at the time.
It was the first time I was_
Put yourself out there.
Yeah, because I didn't know anyone in this business and I didn't know how to_
_ I think I didn't realize yet that my job is the opposite.
What a shy person I am.
I just didn't realize it.
I mean, when I'm embarrassed or not comfortable, I just_
All red and I can't say a word and I just sweat.
It's great.
It's beautiful to see.
Some people, they say they are shy, but they're just quiet.
But I'm really shy.
I'm really intimidated by a lot of people.
It's really strange.
I can't really explain it, but when I'm on stage in front of an audience, I'm not scared.
I'm just, okay, that's what I am.
[Ab] I _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[N] met the _ _ _ _ one of our shows.
_ _ It was for _ a band to make his soundtrack.
I love the story and it touches me deep inside, but it's great to see him work and to hear him talk about his art,
his way of making movies, and I just wanted to_ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] The only reason is that [Eb] I don't know how to sing in French [N] and I don't know how to write songs in French.
I think it's just another way to make music and I don't know how to do it.
_ It would be far more natural for me to write in English. _ _
_ _ I mean, singing in English doesn't mean you [Eb] think it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] I didn't know.
That was the first time that I hadn't a very clear _ view of what I wanted _ to record.
_ So I just wrote songs, but I didn't record _ with a lot of_
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ try to be spectacular and try to catch.
We recorded a lot of things live and then when we _ overdubbed the stuff, we just wanted to take two _ takes instead of 20.
When I finished this record, I just couldn't hear it.
It was trapped.
I think it's the_
I was talking with Nicolas Kurz.
_ _ _ He told me that you have to reject what you know and then you go back to it and then you listen to it with another part of you.
_ [A] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ So I'm happy with these songs [N] today and that wasn't the case six [C] months ago.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [N] To me, those days are the days when I stay at [E] home and I [N] just_
I don't know, a _ _ _ _ _ _ little bit of music and do something and write lyrics down, watch TV and then fall asleep.
And I wake up and it's_
you know, it's something, I can sing, then I come back and I write something.
It's like those days.
_ _ _ _ I composed all these songs _ _ _ _ _ asking [Gb] myself, is [N] something happening? _ _ _ _ _ _
I wanted to do something because that's my life.
I spend a lot of time alone.
For someone who don't play music or someone who has a regular job with regular time, _ it's kind of being unemployed.
I'm not unemployed.
To me, it's like a real ghost day.
I wanted to talk about ghost day and how it exists.
