Working originally as a filmmaker, he composed his first music creations between two shoots. His works, going from experimental techno to melodic ambient, soon grabbed the attention of the the most receptive ears: Ellen Allien, Mathew Jonson, Scratch Massive, and furthermore Agoria, who brought him to light in the amazing compilation "At the controls". He collaborated with his friend Lucy (Meerestief Records) for labels such as Perspectiv, Qoki, and, more recently, for the excellent Culre with an e.p. ("Continuity theory, to Adri"), that was instantly included in many playlists (Laurent Garnier, Mark August, Karotte...). The compositions drew the interest of Parisian label InFiné (Apparat, Danton Eeprom, Cubenx...), that offered Rone a new chance of expression with the long awaited release of the maxi "Bora".
Rone currently has five albums, with the latest being "Room With A View", released in 2020.

Everything
Rone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black cats creep across my path
Until I'm almost mad
I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
Cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I'll go through life
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains

Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measles and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps

Everything happens to me
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
I've telegraphed and phoned
I send an "Airmail Special" too
Your answer was "Goodbye"
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you

Everything happens to me

Overall Meaning

In Rone's song "Everything", the artist is expressing his belief that he is cursed and everything in his life happens to go wrong. The song starts with the line "Black cats creep across my path, until I'm almost mad, I must have 'roused the devil's wrath, cause all my luck is bad." This imagery of black cats and the devil alludes to traditional superstitions and adds to the idea that the artist is cursed. The lyrics continue with various examples of bad luck such as rain ruining his golf game and a complaining neighbor ruining his party. The chorus reiterates the artist's belief that everything happens to him and he is constantly missing out on things or making mistakes.

Later in the song, the artist speaks about a potential love interest who he believed could break the curse for him. He says, "At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me. That love would turn the trick to end despair." However, it seems that this relationship did not work out and he continues to feel cursed. The final line of the song, "I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you," suggests that his unfortunate luck even extends to matters of the heart.

Overall, the lyrics of the song paint a picture of a person who feels like everything that could go wrong does go wrong in their life. Despite the lyrics' focus on bad luck and misfortune, the song itself has a catchy and upbeat melody, which creates a contrast between the lyrics and the feel of the tune.

Line by Line Meaning

Black cats creep across my path
I am facing a streak of bad luck

Until I'm almost mad
It is affecting my mental state and making me restless

I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
I think I have angered someone or something powerful

Cause all my luck is bad
I am experiencing only negative outcomes

I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
Whenever I plan for something, it turns out to be opposite of what I expect

I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
Even when I try to enjoy myself, something or someone interferes

I guess I'll go through life
I'm resigned to this fate

Just catchin' colds and missin' trains
Facing only minor adversities in my fate

Everything happens to me
Summarizing that I'm experiencing a series of unfortunate events

I never miss a thing
I am always at the receiving end of an unlucky outcome

I've had the measles and the mumps
I am suffering from various illnesses

And every time I play an ace
Even when I am expecting a fortunate outcome

My partner always trumps
Things go different than expected and unfavorable for me in the end

Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
I'm not careful in my actions and end up regretting it

At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me
My initial belief was that love could change my fate

That love would turn the trick to end despair
I thought my love would help me overcome my bad times

But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me
I have realized that my own logical thinking cannot be ignored

I've mortgaged all my castles in the air
I have invested everything I have to change my luck, but in vain

I've telegraphed and phoned
I've tried reaching out to people for help

I send an "Airmail Special" too
I went out of my way to request for assistance

Your answer was "Goodbye"
I received no useful response or help

And there was even postage due
I was already distraught and even had to pay for my efforts

I fell in love just once
I had just one chance at finding something good

And then it had to be with you
And it ended up being the wrong person, someone who added to my misfortune
