This year, I had made plans to head out for new adventures on my bicycle. What was meant to be a solo trip, turned into a bike journey together with Coco. Leaving La Rochelle we would soon be hitting the Dordogne region before making our way to Toulouse and then following the coast all the way to Monaco before entering Italy. So this is part one, as our journey continues towards Turkey.
Life is very ironic at times and it rarely turns out the way you plan it (especially on a bike!). What song would be a better song than Alanis Morissette's evergreen ✨ ?
The recording used in this video was taken at one of my favourite shows last year: A cocktail reception at a friend's wedding, where I had the honour to play with the fabulous David Henry @grandav94 🎹 and his brother Jerome Henry 🥁 . We are available for shows in France in 2025. If you like to have us at your festival or event, please get in touch.
Until then Merry Christmas ❤️

An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery, and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought? It figures
Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down He thought, "Well, isn't this nice?"
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought? It figures
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out When you think everything's gone wrong And everything blows up in your face
It's a traffic jam when you're already late A "No smoking" sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think? A little too ironic And yeah, I really do think
It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought? It figures
And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out
Lyrics by Alanis Morissette. "Ironic" was released in 1996 on the album Jagged Little Pill
