After relocating to Paris, Oldelaf joined the band Les Petits Humains ('The Little Humans') in 1997. They played several live concert and recorded two albums that were not available commercially but appeared on the band's website. In June 2003, the band folded.
Between 2000 and 2010, Oldelaf formed the band Oldelaf et Monsieur D together with comedian Frédéric Draps. In March 2003, Oldelaf joined Les Fatals Picards as guitarist for the album 'Picardia Independenza'.
In 2010, Oldelaf surrounded himself with four musicians and started his proper solo career. New songs and some old mingled in a colorful live set. Oldelaf and his musicians tour all over France and also participate in festivals in Belgium and France. The debut album 'Le Monde Est Beau' ('The World Is Beautiful') is released in 2010.
In 2013, Oldelaf records a new album 'Dimanche', released in January 2014. To finance this album, he uses crowdfunding like he did before for his music videos. A tour of more than 100 dates accompanies the release of 'Dimanche' and reaches its apotheosis during a concert at the Zenith in Paris on 29 November 2014, which is recorded and made available on DVD in April 2016.
Also, in 2014 performs a cover version of Babooshka with a heavy French accent as part of a series of 'Les Reprises d’Oldelaf', which appears on YouTube.
Ca changera rien
Oldelaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ou bien se confondre en excuses
S'offrir des soirs et des matins
Avant que nos deux corps ne s'usent
On aura beau gravir des monts
Regarder les mêmes étoiles
Monter aux arbres voir l'horizon
--Refrain--
Ça changera rien, ça changera rien
Dès le début je crois qu'on connaissait la fin
Ça changera rien, ça changera rien
N'usons pas toutes nos forces à en chercher en vain
On aura beau vendre nos larmes
Nouer nos lèvres à en crever
Ou se baigner dans le vacarme
Pour mieux le silence cacher
On aura beau prendre des routes
Pour avoir l'air de s'échapper
Aller au bout coûte que coûte
Et pourquoi pas faire un bébé
--Refrain--
Ça changera rien, ça changera rien
Dès le début je crois qu'on connaissait la fin
Ça changera rien, ça changera rien
N'usons pas toutes nos forces à en chercher en vain
Ça changera rien, ça changera rien
Dès le début je crois qu'on connaissait la fin
Ça changera rien, ça changera rien
N'usons pas toutes nos forces à en chercher en vain
The lyrics to the song "Ça changera rien" by Oldelaf describe a relationship that seems to be doomed from the start. Despite the efforts of the couple to connect and make things work, the singer realizes that their fate has been sealed from the very beginning. The lyrics describe the various ways in which the couple attempts to salvage their relationship, including offering apologies, spending time together, and trying to create new experiences. However, no matter what they do, it seems that their relationship is beyond repair. The refrain emphasizes this point, stressing that no matter what they do, nothing will change the outcome.
The song is a poignant reminder of how difficult it can be to make a relationship work, even when both parties are committed to each other. It highlights the frustration and sadness that can come from trying to hold on to something that is not meant to be. The lyrics are particularly powerful because they are so relatable - many people have experienced the same kind of struggle in their own relationships.

Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais Oldelaf s'est le mec qui me rend nostalgique en une chanson ! 😂
