She began her musical education at a French conservatory at seven years old. By age 18, she was studying Musicology at the University in Montpellier, France, and then obtained her Master in Musicology at the Sorbonne in Paris. Émilie was intrigued by the idea of combining her traditional musical education with new music technologies and studio experimentations. She developed these interests into unique skills at the cutting edge new technology music school, the IRCAM in Paris, which to this day remains the only center in the world dedicated to contemporary musical research and production, bringing science and art together in order to widen instrumentation and rejuvenate musical language.
Here she met Cyrille Brissot who she still works with today to develop and build specific instruments adapted to Émilie’s needs, both in the studio and on stage, including the “Brissot” - a breathtaking arm controller that allows her to remotely control, modulate and transform her live voice through a series of controlled effects. Émilie uses a variety of other new technology devices including Yamaha’s “Tenori-on” and a variety of other new hardware and software. Émilie uses this technology to give herself a wide range of versatility on stage, including being able to control everything – from beats to multiple instruments to vocal harmonies and modulation simultaneously while alone on stage.
Shortly after Ircam, Émilie Simon signed a record deal with Barclay/Universal France. Since then, she has written, arranged, performed and produced her two records and the original music for the French (original) version of March of the Penguins. There, Émilie used many diverse and inventive techniques including rubbing pieces of ice together to produce beats and sounds, and blended them with her electronic machinery and inviting lyrics.
Despite garnering best album honors in the electronic category at France’s
“Victoires de la Musique” Awards for her debut, and being touted as one of the most promising female artists, the Montpellier-bred chanteuse is quick to champion her independence as an artist over such acclaim. “[Awards] are nice, but it’s like a cherry on top, really,” the singer/songwriter insists. “It’s great when you have the feeling you are doing something important or that you’re understood. But it doesn’t alter the way I work in any way. I’m always thinking back on what I have done, because I don’t want to be redundant. I want to make music without rules, without anybody telling me what I have to do.”
Émilie Simon first made her mark on the U.S. in the fall of 2006 with her debut U.S. release, The Flower Book on Nov. 7, 2006. Her plush, artful soundscapes had already yielded her significant praise and awards in her French homeland, as well as acclaim across the rest of Europe and Japan. Singing in both French and English, Émilie allows her music to flow naturally, rewarding her with devoted fans worldwide. A year and a half after The Flower Book’s release, Émilie is currently residing in New York City and writing her next record. She will be performing shows in NYC this Fall to preview her new material. Having always begun the creative process in the recording studio, and then following with live performances, Émilie is trying a new approach. For the new record, she will let the songs breathe and evolve in a live environment before heading into the studio.
Something More
Émilie Simon Lyrics

The world around me
And the day we'll feel to tired I'd close my eyes
And keep you in my heart
I know there's something more
I will be your touch so you can feel once again
my hair and my skin
and keep each other warm
I know there's someting more
I know there's someting more
Tell me why do I see you everywhere
Every step I take you're there
Tell me why do I see you everywhere
Oh I can feel there's something more
There's someting more
I will be your ear so you can hear the courts beloved
and the melodies
and the day might time will come we'll sing along,
because there's someting more
I know there's someting more
I know there's someting more
Tell me why do I see you everywhere
Every step I take you're there
Tell me why do I see you everywhere
Oh I can feel there's something more
There's something more
The lyrics of Emilie Simon's song "Something More" are about the singer's desire to be everything her loved one needs. She sings about wanting to be their eyes, touch, and ear to enhance their experiences of the world around them. The singer promises to keep her loved one in her heart even when they are apart, and to stay at home with them when they feel too cold. The repeated phrase "I know there's something more" suggests that the singer believes that there is more to life than what they are currently experiencing and that she wants to explore it with her partner.
The chorus of the song adds another layer of meaning, as the singer asks why she sees her loved one everywhere she goes. This could suggest that the singer is missing the person and cannot stop thinking about them, or it could imply a deeper spiritual connection between them. The line "there's something more" could refer to something mystical or transcendent that the singer feels when she is with her partner.

VELET İNTİHAR-merhaba dost dostum iyisen şimdi dinle beni
anlatacaklarım benim hayata kalım meselesi
beynime hukmeden intiharda ne ignesi
meleklerime desturu cektiren şeytanın sesi
çıkıp bu sokaklarda bagırasım var
içip içip ben olmadık yerime kar edip yatasım var
ayyaşım bu gece dudagıma içki degmesede
intihar veda sınırlarında birde yar edince
dügüm olur içim dolunca söz
bi çıkmazın yolunda bir çıkış arar gibi kaybolursun
duman olursun ve adını sis koyarlar halbu ki ateşi en başında onlardı yakanlar
perdesiz kalınca penceren
sen deniz ararken gördügüm bi gök delen
çocuk neden bunca kalabalıgın içinde bir başımda dertlerin sebepdir
arama dur hukumlu oldugun kader
nakarat x2
intihar düşüncelerin eline geçmeden söyle yar
bu mehrumun ahından ölmücek can yanar
bilirim ama lanet olası intihar kadehlerimde tek bi parça şimdi her damarda var
yaşım kadardı yaşama hevesim hep fenalaşır sözün sonunda virgülün bu gölgesi
katledilen noktaların bölgesinde bünyesi ve ecele davet olur gücün tükenmesi
avuçlarımdaki çizgiler de yolunu kaybeder
ve kayda deger bi gram huzur kalmayınca kim sever
yalnızım be dost bu böyle geldi böyle gider gelişi güzel olan herşey hüsranla terk eder
argo cümlelerim ardındaki saf cocuk bilirki bazen tek bi kelam yeri gelir bir zırh gibidir!
kelamla kuvvetin çevik duvar gibi aşılmamak için örülmüş her tugla bin beton gibi
ve anladım kalem düşünce bu yollar biter
umut bitince anladımki baban bile bir rest ceker
lan hayat sesimi duy nasıl bi kahpelik bu inan bu orospular bile senden daha gururlu!
nakarat x2
intihar düşüncelerin eline geçmeden söyle yar
bu mehrumun ahından ölmücek can yanar
bilirim ama lanet olası intihar kadehlerimde tek bi parça şimdi her damarda var

Emilie’s Frankie Chevalier died suddenly from H1N1 and is the inspiration for this album. That the character Francois from the movie La Delicatesse is named after him is so 😥
