His album "Michel" is accompanied by an amateur film made by Boogaerts himself.
His first albums are pretty loud, maybe even described as a racket, and in his more recent albums he has adopted a more laid-back style. He often produces more "electric" tones, unlike ones you can hear on his albums.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is like no other
And will be
Forever
Annie
Is not my lover
But me
I dont know what else to say
I dont know what else to say
Shall I go or shall I stay
I know
She has a husband
I saw
Her in his hand
I know
She's not my girlfriend
No no
There's no happy end
I dont know what else to say
I dont know what else to say
Shall I go or shall I stay
Shall I go or shall I stay
In the shadow
Stay in the shadow
Stay in the shadow
Stay in the shadow
Annie
S'like no woman
No she
S'the only one
Annie
I'm her big fan
But she
S’leaving me behind
In the song "Annie" by Mathieu Boogaerts, the singer expresses his deep admiration and affection for a woman named Annie. He describes her as unique and unlike anyone else he has known, emphasizing that she will hold a special place in his heart forever. Although Annie is not romantically involved with the singer, he confesses that he is in love with her.
The singer is unsure of how to express his feelings or what to do in this situation. He repeats the line "I don't know what else to say," indicating his uncertainty and confusion. He contemplates whether to continue pursuing his feelings for Annie or to distance himself from the situation altogether. The decision to go or stay is left unresolved, symbolizing his internal struggle.
The singer acknowledges that Annie is already committed to another man, as he has witnessed her holding hands with her husband. This realization brings a sense of sadness and resignation to the singer's perspective. Despite knowing that Annie is not available romantically, he still can't help but be infatuated with her.
The repetition of the lines "stay in the shadow" suggests that the singer feels like he must remain in the background, hidden or unnoticed in his love for Annie. He understands that he cannot compete with her husband or have a happy ending with Annie due to her existing relationship.
Towards the end of the song, the singer emphasizes Annie's uniqueness and declares himself as her devoted fan. However, there is a sense of melancholy as he admits that Annie is leaving him behind. It could imply that Annie is moving on with her life, leaving the singer behind as just a fan, unable to have the romantic connection he desires with her.
Overall, "Annie" delves into the bittersweet emotions of unrequited love and the complexities that come with it. The singer's admiration for Annie is clear, but he is ultimately resigned to the fact that their relationship will never extend beyond friendship.

le genre d'atmosphère musicale nocturne que je n'écoute pas mais que j'entends, que j'entends et qui me fait penser, penser à tout et à rien pendant que je roule, la nuit, j'adore ça ; et en plus ce titre (Annie) tombe vraiment bien car j'adore tellement certains titres de Ani DiFranco pour justement son atmosphère musicale nocturne que je n'écoute pas mais que j'entends, j'adore ça
