From the encounter with the Kassav musicians, the group Kou Doubl will be born, which marks the real debut of this artist's career. After two albums and the success of “JUMP UP” and “ENSEMBLE OU NON“ in 1993, THIERRY CHAM releases his first album the following year : “ULTIME CONFESSION”. The title “COUP DE FOUDRE” then meets with enormous success and is placed number one in all the hit parades of the Afro-Caribbean network. Always under the inspiration of romanticism and sensuality, the album “NUIT BLANCHE” comes into being in 1995 and confirms the growing potential and popularity of this young artist. In 1996 he offers us an album regrouping the best of his recordings with a novel version of the title “Invitation” and a summer tour with RMC. In 1997 his third solo album “Naturel” is released. It has an enormous success with the titles Ciel and Baby. In 1998 THIERRY CHAM sets the waves on fire with his three title CD : “ENFLAME W” “TE SEDUIRE” and “IVRESSE”. The video made on ENFLAME W is highly conspicuous due to the sensuality that it released. For the year 2000 THIERRY CHAM offers us his new album “SIMPLEMENT”. Rich in original tones, this album is very quickly adopted by local radios as well as the growing public. The three titles coming out of this opus quickly became successes throughout the Afro-Caribbean network and the Indian Ocean. These titles are 7e Ciel “SIMPLEMENT” (among other songs dedicated to his late artist friend Gilles FLORO) and the song OCEAN which is the hit song in this album. On 2 December 2000 Thierry CHAM appears on a national channel in a variety broadcasting programme HIT MACHINE by M6. On that same date, he gives a single concert in Paris in the capital’s prestigious CIGALE hall where a great number of national and international artists have performed. Success is guaranteed for this young artist who will further surprise us. Last album "Là d'où je viens", 2008

Planer
Thierry Cham Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Planer par dessus les nuages
Sans ne rien craindre des orages
Dans les sillons des oies sauvages
Voyager rien qu'en fermant les yeux
Suis moi ce n'est qu'un jeu

S'envoler très loin de là tous les deux (briser la glace)
Loin des villes qui font de nous des gens malheureux

(toucher le soleil)
S'abandonner sur de nouveaux rivages (seuls sur le sable)
Tu viens tu viens je viens en toi

Nager dans des eaux très profondes
Bercés par des flots à la ronde
Danser sur le chant des sirénes
Naviguer rien qu'en fermant les yeux
Suis moi juste un peu

S'envoler très loin de là tous les deux (changer d'espace)
Loin des villes qui font de nous des gens malheureux
(respirer mieux)
S'abandonner sur de nouveaux rivages (toucher ton visage)
Tu viens tu viens je viens en toi

S'envoler très loin delà tous les deux
Loin des villes qui font les gens malheureux

S'abandonner sur de nouveaux rivages
Tu viens tu viens je viens en toi (bis)

Overall Meaning

The song "Planer" by Thierry Cham talks about escaping the problems and challenges of the world by soaring above it all. The opening lines speak of flying over the clouds without fear of storms, and following the paths of wild geese with just a simple closing of the eyes. The song invites someone else to come along – it's just a game, after all – and they can fly far away from the unhappy cities that have trapped and saddened them. By moving beyond those concerns and into new landscapes, they can be free to explore what is beyond the horizon.

The song continues with references to the deep waters, flow of the currents, and the call of the sirens. The idea is to abandon oneself to the wild, natural forces of life, to trust in their power, and to be carried away without worrying about where one is heading. The final refrain repeats the desire to escape from unhappy cities and to find oneself on new shores, with the same invitation to another to join in the adventure. The song is a call to live life to the fullest, to escape the constraints of daily life, and to find joy and freedom in exploring the world.
