Biography

French electronic pop band from Versailles (Yvelines, West suburb of Paris) formed in 1997. Thomas Croquet (aka [a=Thomas Mars], vocals), Frederic Moulin (aka [a=Deck D'Arcy], bass), and Christian Mazzalai (guitars) were the original trio who would become known as Phoenix. Mazzalai's older brother Laurent Mazzalai (aka [a550175] aka Branco) joined the trio when his band broke up in 1995 (see [a=Darlin']), and two years later they called themselves Phoenix. At this point they were still making rock music without the synth-rock sounds, and released a single on their own label [l=Ghettoblaster]. Shortly there-after, they were signed to the Paris-based [l=Source]. While there, they got aquainted with label-mates [a=AIR], and were the backing band for a number of TV appearances. From this connection, Phoenix created their first French house track in 1999, "Heatwave." This was the precursor to their debut album, "United". From this, they appeared on a number of compilations, but went on a creative hiatus until 2004.

LYRICS

He told me a heart can't smile
If it's filled with tears
Growing up I thought "it's all gone"
Now it comes back to me, again
Ghetto uniform, collect calls
That I can explain
All the things I've ruined, abandoned
They come back to me

Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire

He told me for those who been drowned
There is no refrain
With one & only youth, a gospel
I do what I can

Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire

Though I've been trying
To lose it all before it's gone
Whatever comes, a heart can't smile if it's filled with tears
Though I've been waiting
All I got to do is call
I'm diving deeper,won't you get me out of this despair

Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire

My happiness inside us
Has nowhere else to fall
Troubles hearing through the telephone
It is filled with tears
