Their songs are elegant, their lyrics are bristly, and sometimes their instrumental songs have a kind of cinematic feel.
Nicholson realized a first album of french songs in June 2006 called "Moderne";
this first album received numerous laudatory comments of the french press, notably for the capacity of the group to mix french writing and music in the indie-pop influences.
Nicholson played around thirty concerts in France and in Luxemburg between June 2006 & June 2007.
The band will take out a second album of french songs in Mars 2008 called " The Rastafarians and the Punks ". This release will come along with concerts in France, Belgium and Luxemburg in the
spring of 2008.
Before this release, Nicholson has just compiled on "French Flair" all its instrumental tracks. We find their taste for the atmospheres cinema there, between Portishead, Ennio Morricone and Air.
Nicholson so tries to make discover his music to a public who does not know french, and to exceed the language barrier.

Cold Water
Nicholson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said "I don't need this anymore"
It's quarter to ten, and he's at the table
But she ain't there and he ain't able
He trudges through
Cold, cold waters
Again
Shitty motel, no bedside table
Where will she go, and is she stable?
It's quarter to twelve, it's getting late
Tomorrow will be a brighter day
The lyrics of Nicholson's song Cold Water present a story of a failed relationship that is falling apart. The song begins with a woman putting on her coat and leaving her partner. She expresses that she does not need the relationship anymore. Despite it being quarter to ten, her partner is at the table, yet she's not there, and he's unable to do anything about it. He is left to trudge through his feelings and emotions alone.
The central theme of the song is the coldness of the water that the couple was wading through in their relationship. This "Cold, cold water" represents the emptiness and isolation that lies between them. The lyrics suggest that the couple is staying in a crappy motel with no bedside table, a metaphor for how uncomfortable and unstable their relationship has become. It's unclear where the woman has gone, and it's questioned whether she is stable.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "cold, cold waters," serving as an ongoing reminder of the couple's troubles. The lyrics' concluding lines imply hope for a fresh start, with the notion that "Tomorrow will be a brighter day."
Overall, Nicholson's "Cold Water" is a song that characterizes the desperation and loneliness that can come from a failed relationship, with a glimmer of hope that the future will be better.

She put on her coat and walked out the door
She decided to leave the current situation behind and move on
Said 'I don't need this anymore'
She realized that she doesn't need to tolerate the pain and struggle anymore
It's quarter to ten, and he's at the table
He's still stuck in the same old life and routine
But she ain't there and he ain't able
She's gone, and he's not capable of changing the situation
He trudges through
Cold, cold waters
Again
Again, Again
He's stuck in the same cycle of pain and struggle, trying to get through it but feeling like he's drowning
Shitty motel, no bedside table
She's in a bad place, with no comfort or stability
Where will she go, and is she stable?
He's worried about her, wondering if she's safe and okay
It's quarter to twelve, it's getting late
Time is passing, and the situation is getting more urgent
Tomorrow will be a brighter day
He's holding on to hope that things will get better and the struggles will eventually come to an end

It was 2015 and I was at NH7 Weekender music festival. Nicholson was on stage and I had only heard his song For What II which I was in love with, and still am. They had a technical problem, and after spending some trying to sort it out, Nicholson decided to improvise and play Cold Waters. Just him and his piano while rest of the band figures out the problem. Still get goosebumps remembering that performance. One of the most magical experiences in my life...

HI FIVE! I discovered him at the same gig. What a phenomenal performance. The whole vibe, the venue and the slight buzz amplified the magic.

Sohrab...you are a bliss! Truly a masterpiece. Am so late here to find you. Hearing this after 7 years ! Amazing team folks n brothers of another brothers.

If you get an opportunity, see him live.
These days he's playing as Lands Lands but I don't know if he's touring. I found him by accident at one of my past Weekenders, we were literally passing time, waiting for our next favorite act. Slightly drunk, great vibe. His music felt heavenly, been a fan since. Sohrab is a very down to earth guy as well.
Note: I see a lot of other people had the same experience :D.

I remember seeing Nicholson live in Bacardi NH7, I was high and his music just made the whole experience out of this world, I hope I'll be seeing them again this year

@Ryan Shullai I don't remember, I think it was Laxmi Lawns, the original venue in Magarpatta. I have been to 7 weekenders since 2013, have lost track of the venues.
