    Since the 90's F.G. fell in love with experimental and lo-fi music after he discovered the tapes of Daniel Johnston and the first releases of Beck.
    Under his first alter ego The Ordinary Seaman, he spent more than a decade tape-recording his primitive sound experiments and lyrics about life and youthful love.

    Years later he decided to change his name to Philippe Guislain and started to write in Dutch, his native language, in order to fully express his poetic side.

    On his debut release, 'The Only River' from 2020, he re-examines his songwriter career through the eyes of a 40 year old man. Holding on to their primordial character, he rearranged his old songs in a more mature manner.

    The new album 'Ochtenddirectie' is a selection of Philip Guislain’s dutch poems that abound in love and humor, all taken with a pinch of salt.

lyrics

Keren wij niet terug
Dan gaan we ook niet heen
Dan blijf ik toch maar thuis
Gevangen in dit huis

De soep staat op het vuur
Pakje sigaretten op de tafel
Een dagje zonder zorgen
Want we moeten nergens heen

Nergens heen
Nergens heen
Dan moeten we
niet terug
Nergens heen
Nergens heen
Dan moeten we
niet terug

's Avonds door de straten
praat men om te praten
Meisjes fluiten naar jongens
Jongens kijken bang terug

Dit is mijn stad, denk ik dan
Ik hoef hier niet weg
Ik hoef hier niet te blijven
Deze avond voel ik mij een man

Nergens heen
Nergens heen
Dan moeten we
niet terug
Nergens heen
Nergens heen
Dan moeten we
niet terug
Nergens heen
Nergens heen
Dan moeten we
niet terug
Nergens heen
Nergens heen
Nergens heen
Nergens heen


Zei de man van weinig woorden
Zei de man van weinig woorden
Zei de man van weinig woorden
Zei de man van weinig woorden
Tot dat we nooit meer van hem hoorden
