    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

Oh Stella
De rimpels in je handen
Die tonen dat je oud bent
Maar niemand zal het weten
Hoe mooi je echt bent

Oh Stella
We zullen liefkozen de nacht
Oh Stella
Te lieflijk om voorbij te gaan

Oh Stella
Je spaghetti bolognaise
Is te lekker voor woorden
En altijd heb je wijn uit Italië
Van de beste kwaliteit

Oh Stella
We zullen liefkozen de nacht
Oh Stella
Te lieflijk om voorbij te gaan

Je ronkt toch zo lekker zacht
Deze nacht
Deze nacht

Oh Stella
We zullen liefkozen de nacht
Oh Stella
Te lieflijk om voorbij te gaan
