De Biasio did not wait long to start learning to express herself differently. At the age of 3, she started classical dance lessons. At the age of 8, she encountered the transverse flute, the beginning of her love of music. This is also when she discovered the thrill of playing in a group, the Ensemble de l'Harmonie de Charleroi, a Belgian brass band that toured Canada.
From then on, Mélanie started perfecting her voice, through diction and declamation lessons from the age of 12. She spent her teenage years with various groups, discovering different facets of music. It’s with a small rock group that she first started singing and composing. In 1997, she appeared with the Harmadik Fül trio, her entrance into jazz. She discovered the old standards and their history, but also collective improvisation.
At the same time, she took singing lessons at the Brussels Royal Conservatory, where she met Steve Houben, one of Belgium’s key jazzmen. After 3 years, she was awarded the first prize in singing with distinction. A long tour of Russia followed with the Orange Kazoo collective. This turned out to be such an intense musical and human adventure that she came out of it even more determined. Steve, touched by her new maturity, offered her several possibilities to work together, including 20 dates that included some of the best festivals and the biggest halls and clubs in Belgium. They also played at the Universal Exhibition in Aichi, Japan.
All these experiences pushed her to develop a very personal outlook on music, while exploring the heritage of her predecessors with pianist Pascal Mohy. Mélanie also played regularly with other noted Belgian musicians such as the double bassists Sal La Rocca, Bas Cooymans and Philippe Aerts; the drummers Jan De Haas, Bruno Castellucci and Mimi Verderame; and pianists such as Charles Loos, Michel Herr and Pascal Paulus. In 2006, she was nominated for a Django d’Or award as a “Young Talent”. Her first album, “A Stomach is Burning”, recorded live in studio in 2006, proves that Mélanie De Biasio was right to learn to express herself differently.
With All My Love
Melanie De Biasio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a lonely journey
Mama let's try another time
'Cause I can't carry on right now
Please makes my day
Too much abuses I see
Too much desire in between
We'll make it through
Mama I hear you cry
All this anger I'll put aside
My tears I know won't beat the river in your eyes
And with all my love
I will make them dry
Yes with all my love
Epiphany swells and waits
Scream it baby scream it
Seeds shoot towards the sun
Seed soften in a yellow sound
Riptides build into the waves
Scream it baby scream it
Seed shoot towards the sun
The song "With All My Love" by Melanie De Biasio is a soulful expression of empathy for a loved one - likely the singer's mother - who is experiencing pain, loneliness and despair. The first verse speaks directly to Mama, asking her to acknowledge the loneliness that the singer is feeling on their current journey. The singer is struggling under the weight of past abuses and the seemingly insurmountable desire that surrounds them, making it impossible to carry on alone. The line "please makes my day" suggests that the singer is searching for some kind of approval or encouragement from their mother. However, the second half of the verse takes on a tone of assurance, with the singer declaring, "we'll make it through, that's what we do".
