After two EP's, he released his first album Tales of the Forgotten Melodies in March 2005, mixing hip-hop, downtempo and trip-hop, and a second, Hope & Sorrow in April 2007.
After being a host on a French radio in the Paris suburb of Mantes-La-Jolie, JC Le Saoût started the French Rap band La Formule in the 1990's. He created his label Lab'Oratoire in 1998 and produced records from La Formule as well as Break Beat compilations and a collaboration with the Swedish band Looptroop.
He began work on the Wax Tailor project in 2001, first appearing on a remix of Looptroop & La Formule's "Breathing Under Water". Wax Tailor's first EP Lost The Way was released in 2004 and features contributions from Charlotte Savary, Marina Quaisse, and Big Dada rapper Infinite Livez. Other musicians who have appeared alongside Wax Tailor include North Carolina Hip-Hop duo The Others, Ursula Rucker, Sharon Jones, Voice and A State Of Mind.
His second album Hope & Sorrow was nominated for "Best Electronic Album" at the 2008 Victoires de la Musique, a French music award ceremony.
Wax Tailor uses samples in his music as film directors use actors. His record is conceived as an orchestral movie between hip-hop and downtempo where Wax Tailor hijacks “The forgotten melodies” and tells a story of his own where each track is a sequence. In this large patchwork of numerous influences and multiple references to the seventh art, major names of the twentieth century music (Doris Day, Nina Simone...) could get a chance to meet Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen or Alfred Hitchcock
Until Heaven Stops the Rain
Wax Tailor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alright
What the hell is this
Bad news
Until heaven, until heaven, until heaven
Until heaven stop stop the rain
Until Heaven come up and stop the rain yo
Until heaven, until heaven, until heaven
Until heaven stop stop the rain
Until heaven, until heaven, until heaven
Until Heaven come up and stop the rain
Come up and stop the rain
Come up and stop the rain
Optimism, optimism, optimism
Optimism in my heart
Ah child of God
A couple of years ago my life was falling apart
Job that I was working didn't want me no more
Four, four months later some nigga's kick down my door
Denied unemployment pay, bills everyday
In a separate room with myself is where I laid
In the mist of foreclosure my people a cloud hovered
And rained on my head non stop is how I suffered
Had two daughters
Biological was outstanding
My stepdaughter she hated me misunderstandings
The fire fanning, should have been with her dad
Half a year later my marriage was really bad
All I had was this music everything else I'm losing it
Hoping when these doors close shut, some others open up
It's just the same old song, without the singing
So I pull my hood over my mind for stormy evenings
Until heaven, until heaven, until heaven
Until heaven stop stop the rain
Until heaven, until heaven, until heaven
Until Heaven come up and stop the rain yo
Until heaven, until heaven, until heaven
Until heaven stop stop the rain
Until heaven, until heaven, until heaven
Until Heaven come up and stop the rain
Come up and stop the rain
Come up and stop the rain
The lyrics of "Until Heaven Stops the Rain" by Wax Tailor and Mattic express the idea of enduring hard times until they pass. The song tells a story of a man who has faced many challenges including losing his job, facing financial difficulties, dealing with family issues, and losing a marriage. Despite all this, he still retains optimism in his heart. He recounts how he felt that his life was falling apart and he had nothing to hold onto except his music. With the hope that doors will open when others close, he endures the "stormy evenings" with the belief that this period of suffering will eventually end through some divine intervention - Until Heaven Stops the Rain.
At the same time, the lyrics could also be interpreted as a commentary on the societal and systemic conditions that make it difficult for people to survive and thrive. The metaphor of "rain" suggests something beyond individual control, and the frustration at waiting on divine intervention could be a reflection of a larger, systemic problem. The repetition of the phrase "until heaven" also underscores the idea that individual people cannot solve these issues alone.
Overall, the message of the song is to keep going despite the difficulties that one may face - to hold onto hope, keep striving, and wait until the rain stops.

Ah child of God
Acknowledging a belief in a higher power
A couple of years ago my life was falling apart
Reflecting on past hardships
Job that I was working didn't want me no more
Experiencing job loss and its impact
Four, four months later some nigga's kick down my door
Encountering further adversity in the form of a break-in
Denied unemployment pay, bills everyday
Struggling financially and unable to receive assistance
In a separate room with myself is where I laid
Feeling isolated and alone
In the mist of foreclosure my people a cloud hovered
Being surrounded by the negative impacts of foreclosure
And rained on my head non stop is how I suffered
Experiencing constant hardship
Had two daughters
Acknowledging family responsibilities
Biological was outstanding
Not having issues with one daughter
My stepdaughter she hated me misunderstandings
Encountering issues with a stepdaughter due to misunderstandings
The fire fanning, should have been with her dad
Feeling guilt for not being able to fulfill all family roles
Half a year later my marriage was really bad
Experiencing strain on marriage
All I had was this music everything else I'm losing it
Relying on music as a source of comfort and stability
Hoping when these doors close shut, some others open up
Having hope for the future despite current struggles
It's just the same old song, without the singing
Feeling stuck in a cycle of hardship
So I pull my hood over my mind for stormy evenings
Using music as a way to cope with difficult times
