STORY :
I wrote this song after my sister had her second child.
One day I was looking at her when she was sleeping.
I thought about me maybe becoming a father in the future.
I hope I'm not gonna be a bad one like my father.
I was listening a lot to The Ramones, the song was written in order to be in their style.
It doesn't work out. I hated the song and didn't want to post it in the beginning.
The french rapper Guizmo shared my instagram post and my song after I mentionned him. It was CRAZY for me.
"Some old stories full of light" is kind of a metaphor about religion.
LYRICS :
Here you go, baby
Crying in the night
Discovering the world
and it don't seem to be alright
I'm gonna tell you the truth
It's not gonna be nice
But I'll be there for you
if you need to hide in my arms
Listen to me baby, close your eyes
I'm gonna tell you
some old stories full of light
I'm gonna be right there, yeah all the time
Cause I'm your father
and I'll be it until I die
It's alright
I had a father, like you
Wasn't really fine
Never was there for us and
Cheating on his wife
I'm gonna tell you the truth
I'm not gonna be that
And I'll be there for you
if you turn wrong or you turn right
Listen to me baby, close your eyes
I'm gonna tell you
some old stories full of light
I'm gonna be right there, yeah all the time
Cause I'm your father
and I'll be it until I die
It's alright
(ooh ooh solo)
I write this song for you
Before you are born
But I'll meet your mom soon
In the sight of God
I will sing it for you
With these easy chords
That I'm always using but
Using them with my heart
Listen to me baby, close your eyes
I'm gonna tell you
some old stories full of light
I'm gonna be right there, yeah all the time
Cause I'm your father
and I'll be it until I die
It's alright
