21 - Lucky star

Lucky Star
Affermis ta foi comme Job
Dans la tempête des épreuves
Reste à genoux et prie aux échos
Sois faite Ô Seigneur ta volonté

I know it has been crazy
In my life lately
But I have to carry on
And life must go on

The road was long I know
With many mistakes
But I was only guided with love
I carry in my heart

I was the lucky one
Now I'm the lonely one
But I know that my star will never leave me

Now that I'm on the ground
With enemies all around
I know that I've lived my life the way I could

I have to be me, I have to be free
I was waiting for your love
I was waiting too much

Now my heart is aching
And now I'm afraid
Please God, don't let me slide
I play the cards that I drew

I was the lucky one
Now I'm the lonely one
But I know that my star will never leave me

Now that I'm on the ground
With enemies all around
I know that I've lived my life the way I should

I was the lucky one
Now I'm the lonely one
But I know that my star will never leave me

Now that I'm on the ground
With enemies all around
I know that I've lived my life the way I should

Press Reviews

“Altogether, the songs contained in this album present an expressive voice which occasionally reminds one of Al Jarreau. We love this record.”

Le figaro

“Jocky’s voice, like Al Jarreau’s, is very groovy and lively, infused with instruments in very technological tones…he passes smoothly from soul to world music, from blues to ballad, and from synthesizer to simple guitar. Francis Jocky is an animal on stage with an expressive energy, capable of heating up a room in no time at all. He is truly amazing!”

Le Parisien

Francis Jocky plays a brilliant mixture of Soul, Rhythm and Blues, and Jazz with skill and emotional honesty. Those qualities are rare enough in popular music they should be celebrated and encouraged whenever they are encountered.

Bogcritics

“…absolutely fabulous music, which really is no surprise, when you read up on his musical pedigree…. 2006 is going to be a good year for music if this album is anything to go by. He’s ….performed with Stevie Wonder and U2, …quite a feat.”

Indie Launchpad

There are very few musicians, let along popular musicians, who are able to surrender themselves to their music in such a way that it becomes a spiritual experience to listen to them no matter what they are singing about; Francis Jocky is one of them

Richard Marcus

“Like a funkier Cat Stevens or a more direct Dave Matthews, Cameroon native Francis Jocky exudes sweet, sunny charm as he gets to the heart of the matter. A true pleasure to discover

Star Polish

“Mr. Pain” brandishes an expressive medley of jazz, funk, soul, fun and contemplative tempos, and tangible lyrical themes that will leave you reeling. Blown away by the pieces “How Can I Stand,” “Sera” and “Song of Freedom” I hope, perhaps selfishly, that he will constantly find inspiration and cause to cry out. With this incredible project, Pain is beautiful.

The Celebrity Cafe

“Francis Jocky has a voice that is quite unique, something that I would rather not compare to anyone. His songs are special and his French-Cameroon roots come out in a vibrant and inspired way.”

A&R Online

Jocky is a sort of postmodern soul man, no matter what part of the world it comes from and the resultant blendis both melodic and grooving, with hooks to please almost any ear.

Global Rhythm Magazine

Where Paris´ leading daily newspaper, Le Parisien, hears ´Al Jarreau´s successor´, my perhaps less finely-tuned lugholes suggest the new Labi Siffre. This is one horse he´s riding alone. No need for a photo finish, Francis triumphs with Mr Pain.
