Telle la pointe sensible d’un oscillographe, les chansons de Boy & The Echo Choir retranscrivent les mouvements contradictoires, les contours changeants, les chemins dérobés et les lignes de failles de l’âme. Un songwriting qui persiste à ne pas se plier à la loi d’un genre ou au programme d’une quelconque école.

Richard Robert

Like the sensitive probe of an oscillograph, Boy & The Echo Choir
songs transcribe the conflicting moves, moody outlines, sneaky routes,
and the fault lines of the soul. There, within the secrets of this
unfathomable inner geography, deep in the unstable soundtrack of the
heart of hearts, they draw their sometimes uncomfortable truths, their
profound reveries and their troubled beauty. Boy's songwriting
persists not to comply with any genre or school of writing.

Inspired by what any existence intently lived may bring in disorders
or accidents, "It All Shines" pursues, more than ever, this ambition.
It's a record that searchs - and finds - coherence in the confusion of
feelings, an intelligible account in the chaotic framework of the days
and nights, harmony in the unpredictability of the human stories. With
a wide range of sound pigments (guitars, keyboards, machines, drums,
accordion, musical saw, vibraphone, strings, winds, choir...), the
album paints a moving picture where meet and collide uneasy calms and
heavy weather, held breaths and outbursts of energy, unadorned and
complex patterns.

The intense shine of this new album lies in this science of contrasts
that, from beginning to end, Boy & The Echo Choir keeps on
experimenting and reinventing.

1.	Intro 00:41
2.	It All Shines 02:24	lyrics
Just pretend it all shines on you Let the fuss and the fights behind you Where you yell, try to smile, try to laugh, try some new Take a chance, take a breath, you will see what is true Hold your horses you will have your fling Every day has a sad song to sing Everything is in your hands It is all yours in the end
3.	Impossible Heart 03:28	lyrics
If only I could Walk a thousand miles Alone through the night And feel no fear If only it could Calm down my heart Give it some peace Force me to rest To forget you But I know the way I can go through That's what you say That's why I'm blue Wish me some love Throw all I knew Too many words Pictures of you To forget you
4.	The Sound 03:04	lyrics
My song is the sound of all the leaves dancing around Like a storm it will pass See how they fall on the ground Your song is the sound of all the leaves lying around Like a storm it will pass
5.	Endless Walk 02:45	lyrics
Is there a road A winding path For an endless road? If we are here What is it for? Our blissful thoughts There's not a thing None to recall No answer nor key And with the light Just by the shore See how it's real.
6.	Why Can't We 03:17	lyrics
Tonight it's gonna be A mess in my head And in my eyes Slipping and changing Things in all places Sounding loud around I can't stand the silence I have nothing left to handle And it sounds different And it sounds blue What can we do? Why can't we say more? No, don't wait a thing Nothing will occur in waiting I shouldn't say a thing Or I shall let it out Keep me from trying And it will all come fine Tonight it's gonna be A mess in my head And in my eyes Slipping and changing Things in all places Sounding loud around
7.	Take Oh Take 02:47	lyrics
Take all that you've seen of me Take all THAT you've made Take all your life All your memories oh Take all you've made This is why you wait for me YOU are the light I see This is why your endless nights are fed with dreams Take all that you left on my eyes please It's what I need Tell me what you've made Tell me what you see without me I'm no good at this game
8.	Last 03:08	lyrics
Bright sunday morning It's almost unreal All the luck on our side A way to feel the delight Make it last for a while
9.	The Organs 04:00	lyrics
Can you hear the organs They blow away the hurt Can you hear the organs They blow away the hurt Calm me down Calm me down Calm me down Call me Can you hear the wind Blowing in our minds Can you hear the wind Blowing in our minds To forget the pain To forget his eyes forget the pain forget his eyes
10.	Fire 03:51	lyrics
I hold my breath I keep it inside And take the way back to you Please forgive me For all the pain I can but take the way back to you I turn off the light I keep that fire in me Shall we surrender Shall we pretend it's nothing we can see The deepest sky the bluest sea won't be as dark as me I turn off the light I keep that fire in me Silence In the sunshine Won't fade away
11.	Warm 03:31	lyrics
All I have now is the bluest word from you I know all there's to know After all we have the sun to warm Out of this mess we can't say more Where would you like me to stay did you think I was a stranger? All I have now is the bluest word from you I know all there's to know After all we have the sun to warm Out of this mess we can't say more.
