“It's gonna be alright" was written during quarantine where everything was suspended and where time gave way to introspective discovery of within. This song is about the emotions we all feel and the fear we sometimes have to externalize.
It is a call to shout, a call to tears, to explosions of laughter and rage. A hand that tends to the possibility of expression, of taking the waves of emotion in your arms and sharing them with those around us.
At the age of 19, Mélys decided to embark on a journey across the Atlantic ocean. With a backpack, a violin in one hand and a guitar in the other, she explored the Americas by sailing boat. Learning the guitar on the road and busking to support her on her travels. Her first compositions are inspired by new horizons, various cultures and beautiful experiences.
After three years she returned to Europe in Brussels to share her music, discovering the pleasure and meaning in playing her music live with other musicians. Finally returning to her childhood hamlet in southern France (Hérault) to record her debut EP “Agua”.
This album is a mix between old and new compositions all related to the water. Water of the ocean, ocean of feelings and emotions, a celebration of an eternal cycle…
Since the recording she now plays her music with three other musicians. Today her bright and intimate indie-folk sound is evolving, taking influences from Pop music, Traditional Folk and even sometimes Rock…
lyrics
"It's gonna be alright"
Let the light enter inside and
Let it guide your troubles out
It’s gonna be alright, alright
If you let your tears bring out your fears
If you let them scream instead of whispering
It will be alright, alright
Es un paso largo
Y miedoso
Un camino nuevo
Tan bello
Well let it go and let it flow
Yeah, let yourself breath and let yourself live
It’s gonna be alright, alright
No more troubles, no more pain and
No more doubts now in my brain
It’s gonna be alright, alright
Es un paso largo
Y miedoso
Un camino nuevo
Tan bello
Cuantas respuestas temas esconder
Cuantos recuerdos alejas, alejas
de tu ser
Somos todes en la misma barca
Igual a la marea
Que sube, sube, sube, sube y baja
Una corriente de emociones
Son unos regalos de los dioses
Unas montañas al revés atrévete no las dejes
Es un paso largo
Y miedoso
Un camino nuevo
Tan bello
