Since that time, the pair has performed as Joy Wellboy, singing, strumming and sharing their love. Elemental beats and basslines form the center of their energetic sound.
Unusual harmonies and compelling melodies cut deep into the core and on top there’s Adegoke’s voice, uplifting, bedazzling, spirited. Sometimes she’s a knife that cuts, sometimes she’s a gun that blasts. But she always speaks from the heart.
Spacy Songs like “My heart ran away” and “Before the sunrise” , electric songs like “the movement song” and “On the beach” will draw you into Joy Wellboy’s miscellaneous universe.
Before The Sunrise
Joy Wellboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(What if all this is real?)
Sinking willingly
(Deeper, nowhere)
Transforming landscapes
(Slow motion goodbyes)
Rivers freezing cold
(Sleeping beauty)
(I told you before)
I don't remember us
(But it's lasting longer)
The battle is coming
(And there's nothing to lose)
Let's split to beat them
(Before the sunrise)
After all is said and done
Au clair de la lune
I want more t'en veux des tonnes
même si c'est fini
Look at my face it's what I say
Over and over and over
Mauvaises herbes et jolies fleurs
Y'en a qui restent
Y' en a qui meurent
This is no more above us
(And I'm staring outside)
I don't remember us
(But's it's lasting longer)
The battle is coming
(Worser than worse)
Let's split for magic
(Before the sunrise)
After all is said and done
Au clair de la lune
I want more t'en veux des tonnes
même si c'est fini
Look at my face it's what I say
Over and over and over
Mauvaises herbes et jolies fleurs
Y'en a qui restent,
Y' en a qui meurent,
Parafix j'ai mal au coeur
Crumbling borders squealing
Watch me closely losing fur
Bottleneck-comeback
Cocorico petit matin!
Vagues de blagues de chagrin
Pas décision
rien à faire
C'est le paradis des enfers
The lyrics of Joy Wellboy's "Before The Sunrise" are both dream-like and disorienting, filled with questions and possibilities. The song begins with the line "What if this is happening?" creating a sense of doubt and uncertainty. The following lines speak of sinking deeper and transforming landscapes. It's possible that the sinking and transformation refers to a relationship, as the line "Rivers freezing cold, Sleeping Beauty" could be interpreted as a metaphor for being stuck in a frozen relationship where one person seems to be asleep or distant. The lyrics "This is no more above us, I don't remember us" suggest that the relationship in question has changed dramatically, and that the singer barely recognizes it anymore. However, there is also a sense of urgency, a "battle" that is coming, and the need to "split to beat them before the sunrise."
The chorus repeats the line "Au clair de la lune, I want more t'en veux des tonnes" which translates to "By the light of the moon, I want more, tons of it, even if it's over." This line suggests a desire to hold onto something that is fleeting or ending, even if it may not be entirely fulfilling. The lyrics "Mauvaises herbes et jolies fleurs, Y'en a qui restent, Y'en a qui meurent" which translates to "Weeds and pretty flowers, some stay, some die" could be interpreted as a reminder that not all relationships are meant to last, and that sometimes you need to let go in order to move on.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship in flux, where the future is uncertain and decisions need to be made. The dream-like quality of the lyrics suggests that there is a certain amount of internal struggle involved in figuring out what to do.

Just like weeds and flowers, some things stay, and some things fade away.
This is no more above us
I'm staring outside, and it's apparent that whatever was beyond us is not there anymore.

Just like weeds and flowers, some things stay, and some things fade away, but it hurts to see them go.

The borders are breaking down, and I feel exposed, vulnerable, and trapped. I'm not sure what to do next. It's a paradise turned into hell.

Mais c'est quoi ce magnifique ovni 😳 ? C'est rond, c'est plein, c'est vivant, enveloppant, ça prend partout, ça fuse dans tout les sens... Un feu d'artifice musical over and over. J'en veux des tonnes comme ça ! Les autres sont magnifiques aussi mais celle-là, mon cerveau et mes oreilles l'adore. Quelle sublime découverte, troooop contente ✨

This is brilliant. Coccolino Deep sampled it more than a year ago, probably. Always loved it. Great to hear this improved version.
@AmusedPegasus-zf2lx
