David Salsedo, Brice, Aymeric, Jimi and Jean-Pierre Martins decided to form the group in 1989 to lead the party from their school. Satisfied with their performance, they roam the bars in the suburbs and are joined by Como on bass. They come gradually to earn money with concerts that take them to Ireland where they won a great success. Things get serious when the Scottish producer Peter Murray produced their first album, Silmarils in 1995. Their first single, "Cours vite" (Run fast), is a success and quickly became an anthem in rock from France. Many think about Black Desire of revenge and furious Tostaky, crossed with urban rabies NTM. The censored clip of the single "Cours vite" (with porn stars Julia Channel and Draghixa) also draws attention.
Silmarils then began a new tour, where they're passing in first part for AC / DC, U2 or Therapy?. In 1997 they released their second studio album, Original Karma. In May 2000 they are back with "Vegas 76" and the hit "Il va y avoir du sport" (There will be sport) and in 2003, "4 life" is available in stores.

Je ne jure de rien
Silmarils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le picador a terminé
Une lance en fer se dresse, que danse le venin
Dans son bras elle vient se planter
Je ne jure de rien
Jonathan embrasse la terre, pleure ses morts, revient en arrière
La câme isole c’est un fait
Tue le corps ramollit la tête
Je ne jure de rien
On a beau courir, courir
Quand l’histoire s’arrête un peu trop tôt
Les doutes viennent fleurir les tombeaux
Pourquoi nous en fait, oui nous famille parfaite
Non, rien à ajouter… Silence… coupez
Silence signe distinctif de l’absence, en l’occurence
Nous écrase du lourd poids de son sens
On croit tout savoir, on ne connait rien
C’est pourquoi je ne jure de rien
C’est pourquoi je ne jure de rien
C’est pourquoi je ne jure de rien
Couvrons le corps du mort, encore un effort
Allez! Souvenez-vous quand vous hurliez
Toutes vos certitudes et vos sales habitudesqui trônaient
Vous vous pensiez protégés
On ne peut tout prévoir même si l’histoire se répète
Quoi qu’il advienne tout peut changer demain
C’est pourquoi je ne jure de rien
The lyrics to Silmarils's song Je ne jure de rien are a reflection on the fragility of life and the unpredictability of the future. Jonathan, the singer of the story, is helpless as he watches a lance pierce through his arm, signaling the end of a bullfight. He contemplates the transience of life and the inevitability of death. The second verse delves deep into the emotional turmoil that follows loss. Jonathan is torn apart by grief and feels helpless as he looks back at his life, unsure of what the future holds. The chorus repeats the phrase "je ne jure de rien", which translates to "I swear nothing", emphasizing the songwriter's refusal to make any promises about the future's certainty.
The bridge of the song takes a sudden turn as the songwriter reflects on the human tendency to believe that they know everything, while, in reality, they know nothing. The silence that follows after a loved one's demise is a heavy burden to bear, and the arrogance of believing that we are protected from the whims of the universe can quickly dissipate. The final verse provides an uplifting message to the listeners. No matter what happens, life is unpredictable, and the future is uncertain. So, it is better not to make any promises and instead embrace every moment as it comes.
