Jessy and Dragos knew each other since their fourth year of high school. Back then (mid-2000’s), Dragos had somewhat of a background in classical piano and Jessy mastered the dark and esoteric art of the metal guitar solist.
In 2012, while finishing his master’s degree in audio postproduction at Laval University, Dragos spent most of his days and sleeping hours at the “LARC” studio working on his solo projects. He randomly met Jessy again, who was finishing his bachelor degree in Jazz guitar, in one of the faculty’s hallways and talked about doing a French-Touch / Italo-Disco track together. Some weeks later, they did just that. And it worked out so well that they decided to extend their collaboration to a whole project where many singers such as Odile Marmet-Rochefort, Gabrielle Shonk, Helena Deland and Geoffroy Sauvé, would be involved.
Between 2012 and 2016, all of Jessy’s and Dragos’ releases were made as part of Dragos’ masters and (dropped) PhD studies in order to gain access to the LARC’s infrastructure and to develop a unique sound.
Emma was a fortuitous encounter. In 2015 a mutual friend presented her to Dragos through a video posted over the Internet. She was casually singing and playing the guitar around a campfire with some of her friends. Emma’s voice was different, being less clear, more grainy and fragile with a mysterious twist that caught their attention. They reached her and tried recording one song called “Out in myself”, which turned to be one of the band’s easiest to record.
Jessy and Dragos then invited her to join them on live shows with Odile at the beginning of 2015. The womans' voices blended wonderfully together and the band got lots of positive feedback from the experience. Emma has been part of Men I Trust since then.
With their second album “Headroom", Men I Trust truly became a trio.
Seven
Men I Trust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He'd never done that with a lover before, before
Meanwhile everyone else got lost in quiet by the river
Seeking for more, of course he found better
He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
But instead he stuck around for the mood
In the shadows he saw four eyes lit by fire, fire
He'd never done that with a lover before, before
He was seeking for more
Either early or too late, it was number seven and it happened
High like a bird with his beak through the window
He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
He should have gone to bed
But instead he stuck around for the mood
He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
He should have gone to bed
But instead he stuck around for the mood
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
The song "Seven" by Men I Trust is a dreamy and introspective track that explores the theme of seeking more in life. The opening lyrics paint a picture of a man who is in a shadowy place and sees four eyes lit by fire. This is a metaphorical representation of a certain situation or feeling that he is experiencing. The man speaks of never having done something with a lover before, which suggests a sense of excitement that he's feeling about the situation. While everyone else around him is lost in quiet, he seeks for more.
The second verse continues with the same theme of seeking more. The man sees something that is different from what everyone else sees, but he decided to stick around for the mood. The lyrics suggest that the situation was a turning point for him, and he realizes that he was seeking for more than what he had before. The repetition of the phrase "he was seeking for more" at the end of the song emphasizes the longing for more that the man is feeling.
Interestingly, the song doesn't provide explicit details about what exactly the man is seeking for more of. This ambiguity allows listeners to relate to the song on a personal level and interpret it in different ways. Overall the song is a contemplative and introspective track that encourages listeners to reflect on what drives them to seek for more in their lives.

Meanwhile everyone else got lost in quiet
While everyone else became quiet or inattentive

Near a body of flowing water
Seeking for more, of course he found better
Looking for something more, he inevitably came across something better
But everyone just kept on going
Everyone around him continued to move forward without stopping
What he saw was different
What he observed was unique or distinct from what others saw

Rather than leaving, he stayed for the atmosphere or vibe
Either early or too late, it was number seven
It may have been either too soon or too late, but it was the seventh occurrence
And it happened
It transpired
High like a bird with his beak through the window
