I'LL be your friend
(Jean-René Martin - Janvier 2018)
À mon ami Jan
When your mind 's like a needle
lost in the hay
when your hope is fading away
when you dont know which devil
or god you should pray
I'll be there to brighten your day
When you scream and you cry
all curled up on the floor
When you try but cant understand
I will run, I will fly
I will knock down your door
I'll be there to help you stand
And I wont, wont wanna leave
whatever it takes, I will wait, I will stay
and I want, I want to believe
(that) together we'll find a way
I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend, till the end
Whatever the time
Just give me a sign
I'll be there holding your hand
I'll be your friend
When I was a stranger, you invited me in
Was a sinner, you forgave my sins
I was angry and lost and you told me to stay
You believed in me all the way
You said dont, dont pack and leave
whatever it takes, you can wait, you can stay
and I want, I want to believe
(that) together we'll find a way
I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend, till the end
Whatever the time
Just give me a sign
I'll be there holding your hand
I'll be your friend
(Musical Bridge)
I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend, till the end
Whatever the time
Just give me a sign
I'll be there holding your hand
I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend, till the end
Whatever the time
Just give me a sign
I'll be there holding your hand
I'll be your friend

Caroline
(Jean-René Martin, 29 décembre 2017)
Caroline, magic girl
Summer chimes in your world
And she speaks in words you dont understand
Feeling like a bird feeding in her hand
Caroline in the room
Clocks unwind, flowers bloom
She will have you wait
She will wanna take it slow
While you watch her make angels in the snow
And she'll touch you with her magic hands
And she'll tell you you're the only man
And you'll want to build a house
With the pieces of your heart
But the wind will come and blow it all apart
Caroline, broken heart
Diamond mine, work of art
She will steal your soul in a blink on an eye
She will leave a hole where you'll see paradise
And she'll take you to the city fair
And she'll talk to flowers in your hair
And you'll start to build a house
With the pieces of your heart
But the wind will come and blow it all apart
When the leaves are brown
and the winds are strong
She will leave the summer light
You'll be letf with souvenirs and lonely nights
But she'll come around
And you'll write her songs
In words you dont understand
'Bout a little bird feeding in her hand
Caroline, winter night
Shooting star, northern lights
When she goes she leaves sparkles in my hand
Winter's long and deep but I will wait again

The only one
(jean-René Martin - 2017-2018)
Dont blame it on her
Cause I'm the only one
I'm the only one
She pulled the trigger
But I'm the guilty one
I'm the only one
Put the shackles over me
Cause I'm the only one
Put the shackles over me
Cause I'm the only one
My life is over
I pay for what I've done
I'm the only one
A raging rover
hurting every one
I'm the only one
Put the shackles over me
Cause I'm the only one
Put the shackles over me
Cause I'm the only one
There's a hole in my shadow
She drew her finger, aimed and she shot me down
Now, there's no place for sorrows
No time to linger on the battleground
Ho my grave will be shallow
No one to find me, eaten by the hounds
But I'm feeling so hollow
Cause she's the one who turned my life around
No four leaf clover
will buy another run
I'm the only one
No magic number
I'll lose all that I've won
I'm the only one
Put the shackles over me
Cause I'm the only one
Put the shackles over me
Cause I'm the only one
I'm the only one
I'm the only one

Deep down
Jean-René Martin 17 février 2018
I went down to the river
try to wash away my pain
The poison in my veines
I just needed to remember
How I felt when I was young
the colors and the sounds
Went down, deep down
Underneath my mind
Went down, way down
Looking for a sign
I went down to the jungle
Try to find and split apart
My ego from of my heart
Make some sense of the rubbles
Build a future that would last
Stop living in the past
Went down, deep down
Underneath my mind
Went down, way down
Looking for a sign
I went down down deep inside
I went down down to the other side
I went down where you cant hide
I went down
At the bottom of the river
I got rid of all my beasts
I found freedom, I found peace
And turned my life around
In the middle of the jungle
I went under and above
I found friendship, I found love
And music all around
Went down, deep down
Underneath my mind
Went down, way down
Looking for a sign
I went down down deep inside
I went down down to the other side
I went down where you cant hide
I went down

Death of an angry man
(Jean-René Martin déc. 2017 - Janv. 2018)
For all that I know
The earth could turn around
And in a single blow
Erase us from the ground
Now I 've no wish to die
But nobody will mind
That I would go and leave
This part of me behind
I'm turning to the light
Sheading my old skin
I'm tired of the fights
Want pardon for my sins
I'm taking my last breath
Returning to the land
Today, I celebrate the death
Of an angry man
It was usefull for a while
A shelter from the storm
I was told not to cry
And stick to the norm
It was useless to resist
Or I was left aside
So I clenched both my fist
And kept the pain inside
I'm turning to the light
Sheading my old skin
I'm tired of the fights
Want pardon for my sins
I'm taking my last breath
Returning to the land
Today, I celebrate the death
Of an angry man
I've lost time, I've lost friends
And I lost my mind
Way too many girlfriends
I was deaf and blind
I've burned so many bridge
Between me and the world
Stood alone on the ridge
Staring down in the swirl
I've been wanting to heal
For the sake of my soul
For a moment, for real
Find a cure for this hole
Just to feel how it feel
I am ready to die
Just to feel how it feel
I am ready to try
I'm turning to the light
Sheading my old skin
I'm tired of the fights
Want pardon for my sins
I'm taking my last breath
Returning to the land
Today, I celebrate the death
Of an angry man
I'm turning to the light
Sheading my old skin
I'm tired of the fights
Want pardon for my sins
I'm taking my last breath
Returning to the land
Today, I celebrate the death
Of an angry man
