Jouno's family is from Brittany in the north-west of France. He studied in the Paris area to become a film director but after several years as movie sets professional, he started to write song scripts, reworking them many times at nights, with romantic music on his life and his passion for film. This is also expressed though the songs "quitte á me quitter", "Si le vous, vous plait", and "love later".
In 2015, Jouno released his first EP Ouverture, consisting of four titles and released by Sony Music. Then in 2016, Jouno released his first LP called Interieur nuit with eleven songs, and a 48-minute musical film. The film, directed by Romain Winkler, was based on an idea from Jouno, depicting his work as a film actor and director.
He was selected in 2017 by Fonds d'action et d'initiative rock (FAIR) as a new talent, and was able as in 2016 to perform a tour of France,[5] with Angelo Foley as director and Agnès Imbault as keyboard player.
Larme blanche
marvin jouno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Etre prisonnier de l’oreiller.
Chuter, tomber puis me cogner,
Dans le cadre du lit, me réveiller ;
Allumer la lampe à mon chevet,
Pousser d’un geste le cendrier.
Sentir le frais me rhabiller,
Poser mes pieds sur le parquet.
D’ici deux heures, tout sera éteint.
Dix pour la grande, la petite près du un.
Dis si tu veux, que c’est lâche, que c’est chien.
Dis si tu peux, que là où j’erre, je vais bien.
J’aimerais tant rester,
Etre passionné par ces contrées,
Lutter, y croire, ne pas connaitre la vérité ;
T’écrire cette lettre sans la gommer.
Ravir tes souvenirs puis m’effacer,
Teinter mes restes et leur fumée,
Essuyer ma peine sur le plancher.
Refrain
La tempe posée sur le palier,
Je vois les pieds du brancardier.
Une larme blanche fuit ma cornée.
J’entends pleurer…
J’entends parler, je suis cité.
Puis soudain comme une idée
Si je me tue. Votre monde n’existe plus.
In "Larme blanche," Marvin Jouno, the French singer-songwriter, sings about a desire to escape from reality and to stay lost in his dreams. The first verse describes the singer's wish to dream and stay in bed, feeling the coolness of his bare feet on the wooden floor as he wakes up. He longs to be immersed in these strange lands and experiences, to fight his battles without knowing the truth and to write to his beloved without erasing any words.
In the second verse, the mood shifts. The singer laments his current state of being, feeling so overwhelmed by his emotions that he wants to dissolve into nothingness. As the chorus begins, he hears the sounds of the outside world, and he recognizes that death could be the final solution to all his problems. The last line, "If I kill myself, your world won't exist," reinforces this feeling of isolation and despair.
The whole song seems to revolve around two themes: escape and suicide. The singer is lost in his dreams, and he wants to remain there, away from the pain of reality. However, he recognizes that existence is unbearable and that suicide represents a way out. The lyrics powerfully convey the tension between these two opposing forces - the desire to escape and the desire to die.
