Lyrics : Wei (written by Alex de Glay)

I had a dream
I was with my best friend
I had a dream
From end to end
I had a dream
I was back at the time where I was a kid
Playing on my land

I had a dream
I could change my past
I had a dream
Too good to last
I had a dream
I was back at the time where I was a king
Enjoying my land

But when I found my woods
I immediately understood
I was living in the past
But nothing remains, even from the beginning

I had a dream
I was in the village
I had a dream
The final image
I had a dream
I was back at the time where I used to be Someone
On my land

‘Cause when I found my woods
I immediately understood
Past was on my mind
And all changed, same from origins

About : Pluto…N

Alex de Glay - Pluto...NMea Culpa – I am sorry because I have received some messages from some of you guys, asking me : « why there is not article about Pluto…N ?!? Is there nothing to say about this great song ?!?…NOPE !!!

Ok I am kidding but the truth is I was working (and I am still working) so hard on Wei, that I slightly forgot to write something about Pluto…N.

Then, and here is the real truth, I am a victim of Alzheimer’s. Oh no worries…By that, I mean, Pluto…N is quite new to your ears, but to mine, it is an old song. Using the Carbon-14 dating method, I would say Pluto…N is 13 years old. So the thing is not fresh in my memory. :)

Anyway, this is the perfect example of the way (I used to make music) I make music. A guitar, some chords and some words playing for a long time. And then, one day, without any specific reason, the track becomes a forgotten song, replaced by another potential future hit.

Initially, I probably wrote this song for a girl I considered like the Sun. I used astral metaphors to express my feelings and I thought I was Pluto. In fact, today, there is another meaning. For years, I was the Sun ignoring and neglecting Pluto…N. How many times did I prefer to focus on something else that this song ? I would say : too many.

If only Pluto…N could read me, I would tell you that I really like you ! When I was younger I could make a simple arrangement with cheap sounds but I really did not wanted. It took me ages but today I can say it, I did it and I am very glad.

It started when I made this session :

I knew I could rework on this project. I must admit I have changed a big part of the text, but I have kept the doubtful phrase « From the edge of my skyline… » and most importantly, I have preserved the meaning and the spirit of the track.

Below you can listen an unplugged sample of Pluto…N

Thanks for reading, listening to Pluto…N and supporting me.  Take care ! Alex

Lyrics : Pluto…N (written by Alex de Glay)

From the edge of my skyline
I’m catching your rays of light
I’m on my own, so far away
Just following your sweet glow

Oh can you see me as I see you ?
It seems I can’t shine as bright as you

And all those stars that I can see
Are they like you
I mean, attractively bloody ?
And all those stars around us
Are they like you
I mean, coldly bloody coldly ?

What is that rope, gets us closer
If only I could cut it
I would do it. It’s a nonsense
Getting lost in the dark space

Oh can you see me as I see you ?
It seems I can’t shine as bright as you

And all those stars that I can see
Are they like you
I mean, attractively bloody ?
And all those stars around us
Are they like you
I mean, coldly bloody coldly ?

P L U T O
P L U T O
N N N N N

And all those stars around us
