about
This song is dedicated to those who, at some point in their lives, have hoped that someday the clouds would part.
Special dedication to Herb, with whom I have sung this song many times onstage, with great pleasure.
lyrics
(French translation below)
SOME DAY
Someday, something, will show you the way towards a new sense of being, a new wife a new home and new children
Some day the clouds will part, you will be shown the sky and the stars and all the infinite cosmic universe and I don’t know what else to say but I hope that
Some day you’ll get out of the gutter, up off the pavement, out of the garbage cans, out of the sewers of this dirty city that has betrayed you over and over and
Someday, something will show the way, towards a sense of being, a new job and new friends, a new season.
Some day the clouds will part, you will be shown the sky and the stars and all the bloody cosmic universe and I don’t know what else to say but I hope that
Some day you’ll get out of the halfway house, out of the prison, out of the back streets, out of the factories of this dirty city that has abused you over and over and
Someday, someone, will show you the way towards a new sense of being, a new life, new hope, new reason
Some day the clouds will part, you will be shown the sky and the stars and all the fucking cosmic universe and I don’t know what else to say but I hope that
Some day you’ll get out of the gutter, out of the pavement, out of the garbage cans, out of the sewers of this dirty city that has killed you over and over

UN JOUR
Un jour, quelque chose te guidera vers une nouvelle vision de l’existence, une nouvelle femme, une nouvelle maison, de nouveaux enfants.
Un jour, les nuages s’écarteront et tu verras le ciel et les étoiles et toute l’immensité de l’univers, et je ne sais pas quoi dire si ce n’est que j’espère
Qu’un jour tu sortiras du caniveau, du trottoir, des poubelles, des égouts de cette ville répugnante qui t’as trahi encore et encore.
Un jour, quelque chose te guidera vers une nouvelle vision de l’existence, un nouveau boulot, de nouveaux amis, une nouvelle saison.
Un jour, les nuages s’écarteront et tu verras le ciel et les étoiles et tout cette saleté d’univers, et je ne sais pas quoi dire si ce n’est que j’espère
Qu’un jour tu sortiras de l’asile, de la prison, des ruelles, des usines de cette ville crasseuse qui t’as violé encore et encore.
Un jour, quelqu’un te guidera vers une nouvelle vision de l’existence, un nouvel espoir, un nouveau but.
Un jour, les nuages s’écarteront et tu verras le ciel et les étoiles et tout ce putain d’univers, et je ne sais pas quoi dire si ce n’est que j’espère
Qu’un jour tu sortiras du caniveau, du trottoir, des poubelles, des égouts de cette ville répugnante qui t’a tué encore et encore.

Music by Lucem (Bruno Gaia and Vincent Beysselance)
Lyrics by Bruno Gaia
Fruit de la rencontre fortuite de Bruno Gaia (chant, guitare) et de Vincent
Beysselance (chant, violoncelle, ingénieur du son), Lucem est un duo acoustique français.
Fruit of the encounter of Bruno Gaia (vocals, guitar) and Vincent Beysselance (vocals, cello, sound engineering), Lucem is a French acoustic duo....more
This sounds exactly as acoustic music with a female voice should sound like to feel ethereal and emotional. Great music that sometimes will summon memories of Kate Bush at her best. Lucem
An Autumn for Crippled Children is what you guess would be bred if some mad black-metalist-doomy-sludger married the whole Mogwai band! Brilliant! Lucem
The instrumental ensemble Dt/IG straddles the line between folk and classical, stirring acoustics augmented by sumptuous arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 29, 2023
Old-fashioned fiddles harmonize with rippling synths on the Scottish singer-songwriter's latest collection of original folk songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 30, 2022
