OUR OTHER LIFE - Studio recording at Jiyugaoka Studio Noah, on the 20th of Dec, 2024.
Michaël VAN DORPE (Voice & Rhythm Guitar), Alexandre DJALILI (Bass), Takuya NISHIMURA (Drums)
Unlike the usual rock beats and rolling chords of Michael's music, "Our Other Life" reveals a tender, introspective side of his artistry. This heartfelt ballad transports listeners into a dreamy world of connection, longing, and love. With poetic lyrics that speak to the magic of serendipitous encounters and the beauty of fleeting moments, the song offers a soothing yet emotionally rich experience.
The gentle yet rhythmic melody and evocative storytelling invite you to imagine "what could have been" while celebrating the miracles of the present. Its universal themes of love, desire, and the transformative power of being truly seen by someone special create an intimacy that feels both personal and relatable.
"Our Other Life" is a departure from the high-energy rock you might expect, but it's a refreshing, soulful detour that showcases the versatility and emotional depth of Michael, alongside his friends Alexandre Djalili (bass guitar) and Takuya Nishimura (drums). Step into this otherworldly love story and let the music take you somewhere truly different.

OUR OTHER LIFE (Music and Lyrics by Michael VAN DORPE)
=============================================
Something in your eye threw a spell at me, making me smile..
And when I close my eyes, I see yours looking at me, and it's feeling alright.
Something in my eyes revealed my deepest desire.
My desire for you makes you do crazy things, set fire in you.
It's alright. It's so cool.
Just take it as it comes.
It's our time together.
It’s all right, it’s all good.
Just leave your hand in mine
And leave it for a while.
We came from other worlds,
Our paths had crossed early 17
So can't we just fantasize?
what could have been our life
And make us feel our other life,
And it's alright, yes it's alright.
When you're in my arms, time stands still,
and I can't stop kissing you.
Making you smile, like a break in your life,
it's our time together.
Yes it's a miracle, take a breath,
and let's feel this moment.
Sure, it's so short this time again, but we're together, and you can close your eyes.
It's alright. It's so cool.
Just take it as it comes.
It's our time together.
It’s all right, it’s all good.
Just leave your hand in mine
and leave it for a while.
We came from other worlds,
Our paths had crossed early 17
So can't we just fantasize?
what could have been our life
And make us feel our other life,
And it's alright, yes it's alright.
In the silence of your absence,
sure there was sadness in me. But fear not.
Coz No danger lies in true love,
I'm happy by nature, like you are
But I'm even happier
cause I met you, and you're amazing.
Now that I know, (that) on this planet,
there are angels like you.
It's alright. It's so cool.
Just take it as it comes.
It's our time together.
It’s all right, it’s all good.
Just leave your hand in mine
and leave it for a while.
