about
The life of an artist is a long-distance race. You run alone. Alone with your breathing, alone with your beating heart. On the side of the road, people look at you and shout. Some get in the way, others accompany you, encourage you. Yet only you know the way.
«The Run» is Elvett’s new single. It is the first of an album announced for next fall. It testifies to a new formation composed of female voices, analog synths and organic rhythms recorded in communion at l’Epicentre, Geneva in August 2022.
Accompanied by singer and jazz pianist Soraya Berent since their debut, Elvett surrounds themselves now with the talented singer and producer Gaspard Sommer and by Chloé Baumgartner and Capucine Mugnier of the trio «Les Lunes».
Like a jewelry box for the powerful voice of Lyn m, this new group returns to their first love: soul, blues and gospel. Their constant search for novelty is satisfied thanks to the luminous productions of Alain Frey.
With the support of la Ville de Genève, la FCMA-Loterie Romande et la Fondation SUISA.
lyrics
(Ouh)
Don’t listen to the old man
Don’t even look at him
(Ouh)
You, only know what you have to do
No doubts, no compromise
Be strong and stay proud
This is a long ride
And you’re the only one to drive
They are all on the side of the road
Looking at you
But remember
They are not running
(Stop telling me what I have to do)
No no
(Stop claiming your own truth)
Oh yeah yeah
(Stop yelling, I’m not listening)
No I won’t
(I remember, you are not running)
I remember, I remember
(Stop telling me what I have to do)
Stop telling me what I have to do
(Stop claiming your own truth)
Your own truth
(Stop yelling, I’m not listening)
No I’m not listening
(I remember, you are not running)
I remember, I remember
They all have vision
But you take the decisions
Keep your determination
Oh no
No time to loose
Stay on the line you choose
This run is yours
So don’t let them break the rules
(Stop telling me what I have to do)
Stop telling me what I have to do
(Stop claiming your own truth)
Stop claiming your own truth
(Stop yelling, I’m not listening)
Stop it, stop it now
(I remember, you are not running)
They’re not running not running
(Stop telling me what I have to do)
What I have to do
(Stop claiming your own truth)
Stop claiming your own truth
Would you stop, yelling, stop yelling, I’m not listening
(Stop yelling, I’m not listening)
(I remember, you are not running)
I remember, I remember they’re not running
