1. Dionysos is a Fren… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist under this name:
1. Dionysos is a French rock band formed in 1993 in Valence, Drôme. The band consists of five members known as Élisabeth Maistre a.k.a Babet, Guillaume Garidel a.k.a Guillermo, Mathias Malzieu, Michaël Ponton a.k.a Miky Biky and Éric Serra Tosio a.k.a Rico. Mathias is the main songwriter and fronts the band. Their latest studio album is La mécanique du cœur. Their first release, Happening Songs, was entirely in English, and Babet wasn't part of the band yet. In 1999, they released Haïku, which brought the band into the public eye, mainly thanks to the success of the single Coccinelle.
The name is based on the name of the ancient Greek god, Dionysus (Dionysos in French).
Almost all Dionysos songs evoke a surreal world, in part due to the influence of Tim Burton and Roald Dahl on the group. The song La métamorphose de Mister Chat tells the story of a ladys' man transformed into a cat, and the story of the group's biggest hit (Song for Jedi) is encapsulated in the English chorus, "When I was a child, I was a Jedi".
Babet is currently working at the same time on her own solo album (released on March 5, 2007), and career. The lead singer, Mathias Malzieu, is also working on other projects such as the career of Olivia Ruiz (his partner) and his other hobby, writing (he published three books in 2002, 2005 and 2007). His second book is based on the same world as the album Monsters in Love. The sixth member of the group, Stéphan Bertholio a.k.a Stéphano, was their backliner before playing with them during live tour, and working on the fifth album Monsters in Love.
2. Dionysos was a Canadian band formed in 1967 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Song For Jedi
Dionysos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tellement nerveux que lorsqu'il pleuvait,
Souvent je m'électrocutais.
Et j'ai rencontré une fille en forme de fée,
Tellement nerveuse que lorsqu'elle griffait,
Mon dos, ma peau se transformaient
En pyrogravure
When I was a child, I was a Jedi.
On s'électrocutait souvent,
Lorsqu'on s'embrassait un peu trop longtemps
Et encore aujourd'hui et maintenant
Quand j'étais petit, j'étais un Jedi,
Tellement nerveux que lorsqu'il pleuvait,
Souvent je m'électrocutais
Et j'ai rencontré une fille en forme de fée,
Tellement nerveuse que lorsqu'elle griffait,
Mon dos, ma peau se transformaient
En pyrogravure
When I was a child, I was a Jedi
When I was a child, I was a Jedi
When I was a child, I was a Jedi
When I was a child, I was a Jedi
When I was a child, I was a Jedi
When I was a child, I was a Jedi
The lyrics to Dionysos's "Song for Jedi" are a whimsical, nostalgic reflection on childhood memories and the power of imagination. The reference to being a Jedi, a warrior from the Star Wars franchise who has special abilities, is used as a metaphor for feeling powerful and invincible as a child. The first few lines suggest that the singer was so nervous as a child that he often accidentally electrocuted himself in the rain, a hyperbolic portrayal of the intensity of his emotions. The introduction of the "girl in the shape of a fairy" adds to the sense of fantastical wonder, with her ability to transform the singer's back and skin into what appears to be a burn from a hot needle.
The repetition of the phrase "When I was a child, I was a Jedi" throughout the song emphasizes both the temporal distance between the singer's present self and his childhood self, as well as the emotional and imaginative gulf that exists between the two. The song suggests that as adults, we often lose that sense of limitless possibility and belief in magic that characterizes childhood. The final repetition of the line "When I was a child, I was a Jedi" serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of holding onto those childhood memories and imagination, despite the pressures and responsibilities of adulthood.

We used to get zapped when we kissed for too long, and even now, it still happens.
