After his first album Maxim Nucci in 2006, Maxim went on tour. He has been Vanessa Paradis' supporting act in Brussels & at Paris' Européen and Ilene Barnes' supporting act at Paris' Elysée-Montmartre.
In 2008, it was the redemption, the turning or the revolution. Yodelice came in, a new artist. With his hat, he looks like characters that inspired Tom Waits & Bob Dylan. With his voice, we think about magnificent artists like Cat Stevens or Ray LaMontagne. Maxim went to a house in Spain to write songs. Ethnic/folk songs came to him, between JJ Cale & America. "Sincerity goes through words & English-speaking themes. There's a more natural side in English, that's not my native language. But it's really my culture, Anglo-Saxon. I just wanted to record an album & be proud of it, to play it on stage." The house was named La Casa Yodelice, he borrowed this name. This English-speaking singer, unknown by Maxim Nucci's fans, became Yodelice. Maxim & Sébastien Grandgambe performed the songs in a guitar/cello version. To find the right words, Maxim worked with a Canadian actress, Marianne Groves. She understood stories in his melodies... Maxim called director Bastien Duval to build Yodelice's universe. Bastien drew Maxim's guitar with a skull. For his album Tree Of Life, Maxim recorded the rhythm section in Los Angeles, took the bass & hired drummer Abraham Laboriel Jr. Other musicians came to play brass & Sébastien Grandgambe came with his cello. Back in France, he played electric guitar & also used his skull guitar. He didn't want to leave the stage, he loved it. Like a new birth, Yodelice was born.
Sunday With A Flu
Yodelice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Missed my bus in the pouring rain
It's been the usual Sunday with a flu
And I just can't get over you
Burnt my toast and lost your number
Cut my finger, spilled my beer
It's been the usual Sunday with a flu
And I just can't get over you
I put your stockings in my purple boots
What if I don't get over you?
Had a chat and left my hat
Ate my dog and walked my cat
It's been the usual Sunday with a flu
And I just can't get over you
I put your stockings in my purple boots
What if I don't get over you?
I put your stockings in my purple boots
What if I don't get over you?
Called a cabbage threw the garbage
Asked for help and got some kelp
It's been the usual Sunday with a flu
And I just can't get over you
I put your stockings in my purple boots
What if I don't get over you?
The lyrics of "Sunday With A Flu" by Yodelice depict a day in the life of someone who is nursing a cold or flu and is unable to move on from a person they have been pining over. Despite the mundane nature of the day, their mind is constantly drifting towards thoughts of the person who they just can't get over.
The song starts with the singer closing their door, only to realise they have forgotten their key, setting the tone for a day full of mishaps. They miss their bus in the pouring rain and burn their toast while trying to make breakfast. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's been the usual Sunday with a flu, and I just can't get over you", emphasising the singer's inability to move on from their past relationship.
The second verse shows the singer losing the person's number, cutting their finger while attempting to make lunch, and even mixing up their pets. The line "I put your stockings in my purple boots" serves as a haunting reminder of the person they can't get over, and the repetition of the line "What if I don't get over you?" highlights the desperation they feel.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sunday With A Flu" portray the monotony of a sick day paired with the overwhelming emotions of heartbreak, creating a relatable and poignant depiction of the human experience.
