Il y voit une vérité. Foudroyé par un désir de scène qu’il ne pourra jamais taire, le voilà catapulté dans le monde de la musique, imitant d’abord le King avec un balai en guise d’instrument. Puis dans les années 80 en pleine effervescence de la nouvelle scène « alternative », il joue dès qu’il le peut avec son groupe de rockabilly (the Wanderers) aux côtés d’autres formations, comme la Mano Negra, Wampas...
Après plusieurs années passées dans une école d’art à Londres, dans les années 90, l’homme touche-à-tout tord le carton et participe à la conception des décors pour l’émission tv jeunesse les Minikeums, il chante sur son projet personnel Sportès et enregistre un album chez Eric Serra avant de découvrir les possibilités qu’offre la musique sur ordinateur.
Il se lance alors distraitement dans un nouveau duo électro intitulé Sporto Kantès qui siffle encore aujourd’hui aux oreilles du plus grand nombre. Succès. L’aventure aux côtés de Nicolas Kantorowicz, bassiste des Wampas, durera quinze ans et quatre albums.
En 2013, il tourne la page pour une période empreinte de questionnements sur l’avenir. Il en ressort un rejet total et momentané de la musique et une profusion de dessins crayonnés, griffonnés, noirs, caustiques, poétiques...

En 2016, c’est la musique qui reprend le dessus lorsqu’il se décide à présenter son nouveau projet solo intitulé Futuro Pelo (les futurs cheveux pour un homme qui n’en a plus). Les équipes de Pain Surprises et Délicieuse Musique accueillent avec enthousiasme ce joyeux mélange de pop, de textes chantés en français, anglais, espagnol, et de samples trouvés par d’heureux hasards dans les sons de sa collection personnelle qui navigue entre tous les extrêmes (rockabilly, world, funk, pop moderne, house…). Futuro Pelo compile sa science de la pop et ses trouvailles dans deux EP successifs sortis en 2017 (Bluff) et 2018 (Eden).
La naissance de Futuro Pelo s’accompagne de celle de Monsieur Bouche présent sur les pochettes et les clips. Monsieur Bouche est l’ami imaginaire de Benjamin Sportès, sa façon d’exprimer en dessin ce qu’il n’arrive pas à dire à l’oral.
Début 2020 sort A BIGGER SPLASH, en clin d’oeil à David Hockney et allégorie au grand saut du premier album. Avec ce titre, Benjamin Sportès matérialise aussi un saut dans le vide, le besoin de « dire » les choses, de moins faire diversion et d’être au plus près des émotions. Douze années de psychanalyse au rythme de deux séances par semaine l’ont très certainement guidées vers ça.

ON & ON
Futuro Pelo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh when the girl gets busy (girl gets busy)
I'm on my own (I'm on my own)
And the guy gets lucky (guy gets lucky)
And on & on & on & on
Oh when the light turns honey (light turns honey)
Down on my hole (down on my hole)
And the day gets blurry (day gets blurry)
I lose control, control, control

That's right, not to worry
I'm not afraid to die
These words meant nothing for me
When you were by my side
You swore, one in a million
To blow my mind away
I heard that we were too young
Too young to be delayed

Oh when the girl gets busy (girl gets busy)
I'm on my own (I'm on my own)
And the guy gets lucky (guy gets lucky)
And on & on & on & on
Oh when the light turns honey (light turns honey)
Down on my hole (down on my hole)
And the day gets blurry (day gets blurry)
I lose control, control, control

Oh when the girl gets busy
And the guy gets lucky

Oh when the light turns honey
And the day gets blurry

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Futuro Pelo's song "On & On" have a kind of disjointed and dream-like quality to them, woven together with recurring themes of isolation, disillusionment, and a sense of losing control. The repeated lines of "when the girl gets busy, I'm on my own" and "when the guy gets lucky, and on & on & on & on" seem to speak to a feeling of being left behind or left out while others move forward in their lives. The line "when the light turns honey, down on my hole" is a bit more enigmatic, but could be interpreted as a reference to the way a person's surroundings or circumstances can shift and become claustrophobic or cloying.

Throughout the song, there are also flashes of hope or defiance, such as the lines "not to worry, I'm not afraid to die" and "you swore, one in a million, to blow my mind away." However, these moments are often undercut by a sense of uncertainty or even despair, such as the line "these words meant nothing for me when you were by my side."

Taken as a whole, "On & On" seems to be a meditation on the ups and downs of life and the feeling of being caught in the middle of it all, unsure of how to move forward or what the future holds.
