He first started as a guitar player with Kitsch and Franck Langolff in France, then went to England and worked with Chris Jagger and Chris Kemsey on another french project : Underpressure. He ended up in Oedipussy, Phil Parfitt’s new band (ex. Perfect Disaster).
Then, during five years, Yves toured in France and in UK, worked with Chris Birkett (GB), Baby Porcelain (Australia) and different artists to finally decide that… it’s time to go… with mr lab!
From now on, Yves (Lead & guitar), Frank Bessard (Drums & BV), “Toz” (Bass & BV), Greg Boust (DJ, ambience & BV) and Thomas Schaettel form the band Mr Lab!

Mr Lab! has a real and impressive live experience too and played with Moby, Archive, Jean Louis Aubert (Telephone), Feeders… as support band. Many gigs in France, Germany and hungary.

Mr Lab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
IT'S COMING'ROUND AND GETTING NEAR
THEN NOTHING COULD CHANGE
NEVERTHELESS THE PROCESS' REAL
FALLING ON THE WEAKEST WILL
WE STILL HAVE TODAY
WE?RE SURFING ON THE COMMON STREAM
OF ALL THAT IS VAIN BUT WE?RE STILL ON A BEAM
THERE?S A HOLE IN THE GAME
IT?S LEAKING SO ON ANY PART OF THE GROUND
WHILE LONESOME SOULS ARE BURNING AROUND
IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN...
DO WE HAVE TO LAY ARMS DOWN?
LET'S FACE IT THERE'S A PANIC INSTEAD
EVERY MORNING CLAIMS FOR THE NAME OF A DEAD
IT'S TRULY INSANE
ALL IN ALL IS THERE ONE MORE DEAL?
LET IT GROW IN YOUR BARGAIN SPEECH
EXPECTING NO CLOUDS BY THE END OF THE WEEK
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?
SO WE LACK OF NEW STORIES...
DO WE HAVE TIME?
DO WE HAVE TIME?
ANYWAY ...
DAY AFTER DAY WE?RE ALL BACK TO WORK
TAKING REFUGE IN CONSTANT DREAMS OF HEAVEN
WE KNOW IT...
WE KNOW IT...
THERE'S A DUTY ON THIS PLANET
WE'D BETTER KEEP IN MIND
A SELFISH HUMAN ASPECT
HANGING AROUND
IT'S GROWING IN THE CORNERS
IT'S GROWING IN MY SHOES
IN THE BASEMENT OF MANKIND
SOMEONE'S HAVIN'FUN
IT'S FLICKERING AND SLIDING
IN EVERY LITTLE SHAME
TO DEAF AND BLIND THEY'RE SMILING
THEY ARE SEALING OUR FATE
ANYWAY...
The lyrics of Mr Lab's song Anyway contemplate the existential questions of life and the many challenges that come with it. The opening lines "Give up oneself with none ideal, it's coming 'round and getting near, then nothing could change," suggest a sense of urgency to accept reality and make the best of the present moment. The songwriter seems to question whether time is on their side, as they make reference to "falling on the weakest will", which could imply a struggle to stay afloat amidst adversity.
Furthermore, the lyrics serve as a cautionary tale of the pitfalls of modern society. Mr Lab mentions the dangers of being caught in a cycle of empty pursuits, "We're surfing on the common stream of all that is vain but we're still on a beam, there's a hole in the game". The metaphor of a hole in the game suggests that there are flaws in the system that can lead us to a path of destruction. The lyrics also make reference to the chaos and violence in today's world, such as "Every morning claims for the name of a dead, it's truly insane". Mr Lab seems to encourage us to rise above it all and be proactive in building a better world, as he urges us to remember our duty as humans, "There's a duty on this planet, we'd better keep in mind".
Overall, the lyrics of Mr Lab's song Anyway are a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of living in the present moment. The lyrics also caution against complacency and empty pursuits, urging us to work together to build a better world.
