Very early on, Stéphane was fascinated by different kinds of music, listening to pop, rock and new wave. The real trigger happened in the late 80s, when he discovered house. One day in 1997 in Paris, when he was already a fairly famous DJ, he met up with Jean-Louis Costes, who asked him to mix music at his hotel restaurant. Very soon they had the idea of a compilation which could spread worldwide the spirit of the Hôtel Costes, this mythic glamorous place. The first compilation quickly became an undeniable reference. Over a dozen more successful and intense compilations followed.
Then he was asked to deejay everywhere in the world by haute couture designers such as Gucci, actresses like Cameron Diaz, and eventually remixed "What It Feels Like for a Girl" for Madonna… Yet Stéphane Pompougnac is not only a DJ - he is also an accomplished musician, composing and producing his own songs, which he proved in 2003 with the release of his first album Living On The Edge that featured several talented artists, notably Michael Stipe from REM. Today, Stéphane Pompougnac remains one of the most recognized DJs in the world.
Pompougnac released his second album Hello Mademoiselle in early 2006 after his eighth Hôtel Costes compilation.

Solar
Stéphane Pompougnac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The opening lyrics of Stéphane Pompougnac's song "Solar" set a melancholic tone for the rest of the track. The lyrics speak to the idea of an ending, specifically the end of a day or perhaps even the end of something bigger like a relationship or a phase in life. The image of the sun going down creates a sense of closure and finality, which ties into the mood of the song as a whole. The somber tone of the lyrics is reflected in the slow and contemplative music, emphasizing the emotional weight of what is being conveyed.
As the song continues, the lyrics become more abstract and open to interpretation. The chorus repeats the phrase "right now, right now," which could mean a variety of things depending on how the listener interprets it. It could be seen as a call to live in the present moment and appreciate life while it lasts, which again ties into the theme of the fleeting nature of time that is introduced in the opening lines. Alternatively, "right now, right now" could be seen as a reference to the immediacy and urgency of the situation being described. Whatever the intended meaning may be, the lyrics of "Solar" are evocative and thought-provoking, encouraging the listener to reflect on their own lives and experiences.

our sun is down
The shining ball of fire which keeps our planet illuminated has disappeared below the horizon.
