After his first album Maxim Nucci in 2006, Maxim went on tour. He has been Vanessa Paradis' supporting act in Brussels & at Paris' Européen and Ilene Barnes' supporting act at Paris' Elysée-Montmartre.
In 2008, it was the redemption, the turning or the revolution. Yodelice came in, a new artist. With his hat, he looks like characters that inspired Tom Waits & Bob Dylan. With his voice, we think about magnificent artists like Cat Stevens or Ray LaMontagne. Maxim went to a house in Spain to write songs. Ethnic/folk songs came to him, between JJ Cale & America. "Sincerity goes through words & English-speaking themes. There's a more natural side in English, that's not my native language. But it's really my culture, Anglo-Saxon. I just wanted to record an album & be proud of it, to play it on stage." The house was named La Casa Yodelice, he borrowed this name. This English-speaking singer, unknown by Maxim Nucci's fans, became Yodelice. Maxim & Sébastien Grandgambe performed the songs in a guitar/cello version. To find the right words, Maxim worked with a Canadian actress, Marianne Groves. She understood stories in his melodies... Maxim called director Bastien Duval to build Yodelice's universe. Bastien drew Maxim's guitar with a skull. For his album Tree Of Life, Maxim recorded the rhythm section in Los Angeles, took the bass & hired drummer Abraham Laboriel Jr. Other musicians came to play brass & Sébastien Grandgambe came with his cello. Back in France, he played electric guitar & also used his skull guitar. He didn't want to leave the stage, he loved it. Like a new birth, Yodelice was born.
More Than Meets The Eye
Yodelice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You show I run, You are the one
There's more to us, Than meets the eye
More to the world, Than you and I
Unsmooth me about
Ruffle me up somewhat
Bring me a bit of what
You think I haven't got
Our one on one, Let's come undone
There's more to us, Than meets the eye
More to the world, Than you and I
Unsmooth me about
Ruffle me up somewhat
Bring me a bit of what
You think I haven't got
Shockproof me about
I'll be dead in a bang
I know you'll have my back
You won't leave me to hang
Unsmooth me about
Ruffle me up somewhat
Bring me a bit of what
You think I haven't got
Shockproof me about
I'll be dead in a bang
I know you'll have my back
You won't leave me to hang
Unsmooth me about
Ruffle me up somewhat
Bring me a bit of what
You think I haven't got
Shockproof me about
I'll be dead in a bang
I know you'll have my back
You won't leave me to hang
The lyrics to Yodelice's song "More Than Meets The Eye" describe a relationship between two people who are willing to be vulnerable with each other and explore the deeper complexities of themselves and the world around them. The opening lines, "You are the one, let's have some fun, you show I run, you are the one," suggest a playful dynamic between the two individuals, where one leads and the other follows.
The chorus, "There's more to us than meets the eye, more to the world than you and I," implies that there is a depth and richness to their relationship beyond surface appearances, and that there is a greater complexity to the world beyond what can be easily seen.
The verses ask the other person to "unsmooth me about" and "ruffle me up somewhat," indicating a desire to be challenged and pushed out of one's comfort zone. This vulnerability is reaffirmed in the lines "Shockproof me about, I'll be dead in a bang, I know you'll have my back, you won't leave me to hang," which convey a sense of trust and support between the two individuals.
Overall, "More Than Meets The Eye" explores themes of vulnerability, trust, and a desire for deeper connection and understanding.

En tout les cas je vois que la musique déchaîne toujours les passions. C'est quand même une chose rassurante. Mais il faut pas que ça tourne en haine. Car la musique c'est avant tout du plaisir voir de l'amour. Moi aussi j'aime les Beatles j'écoute "accross the universe" en ce moment et je trouve cela magnifique. Même si peut-être leur paroles sont "niaises", leurs chansons réussissaient modestement à donner de l'espoir et de la joie au gens. C'est ça que je trouve génial dans la musique...
@AmnesiaChannel
