I'm proud to present to you my new song, an kind of ode to a band that I love and that followed my young crazy years...

Cure d'oubli (R.Mathieu)

This is for me one of the most beautiful song about the shoah. Jean-Jacques Goldman is one of those who are important on french stage. I sing it one tone down to fit with my voice, I hope it's not too bad.

Comme toi (J.J.Goldman)

Michel Jonasz is, I think, one of the greatest french artist. I sing here one of his hits "Lucille", but may I propose to you to discover songs like "J'veux pas qu'tu t'en ailles", or "Super Nana".

Lucille (M.Jonasz)

This text of Alain souchon is, I think, the most appropriate to the period we're living. Every morning, switching on the radio, we've got the sentiment that our leaders laugh at us. The world will never change as longer as the money of the most powerful people will rule the life of the poor ones. This song tells that we don't want to buy, but to love.
Tonight I sing it to protest to this world where all can be sold, even our lives.

Foule sentimentale (A.Souchon/L.Voulzy)

Yes, I know this become an habit. I'm talking about putting a music on a text from my blog friend: Marian Barker. This is in effect our fourth collaboration. We're not yet as good as Lennon-McCartney (I'm talking about me, of course !), but I think that it works not so bad. You are those who can judge this.

Through the eyes of a child (M.Barker/R.Mathieu)

I wrote this song almost a year ago now, but something about the orchestration didn't satisfy me. So I changed the tone and played it differently, unfortunetly I'm afraid I don't reach the goal I had fixed myself. Please, tell me...

Me quitter (Version 2009) (R.Mathieu)

For the first time of my life, I took the chords and the arrangements of a song of Sir Paul McCartney (Who I love, don't forget it!) , on which I put my own melody (and my voice of course!). I hope I don't risk a trial from his part... I'm sorry for the fans, but I think I did not kill the spirit of the song. Tell me what you think of it, after you listened to the original version on the album: "Give my regards to Broad Street" (1986). (I make a advertising for him, so I could avoid the... you know what !)
Stop chating, Richard ! Here comes:

No more lonely nights (McCartney/McCartney-Mathieu)*

*Waouh !

I'm actually on the fifth position for semi-final of the "zicmeup tour 2009", so I will be on stage on april 29, in Paris at the "Café Carmen" to defend my song: "T'aimer ailleurs". Only the first 30 will be selected, and then I need your votes to keep my position. If you like the music I propose to you since about two years now, click on the link present to my blog to support me and permit me to realize my dream.
I thank you so much,
Richard Mathew

I remember that this song made me cry a few days before the birth of my first child. I couldn't imagine that, several years after, his little brother would sing it with me...
