Sourya is a French pop band formed in 2005. Sourya "Daddy Sou" (vocals/guitar) is at the origin of the project. After playing in a Parisian band from 1997 to 2005, he began recording demos. In 2005, he met his friends Julien (guitar/programming) and Rudy (bass) at a Paris club called The Shebeen. When going into live performances, he asked them to come. The relative success of their first releases encouraged them to take a drummer, Arnaud, so that the band would appear as a quartet in press shots.
Sourya was described by NME as "purveyors of resplendent and soulful electronica." They released Love Song, in 2006. The track "Numero 1" received radio airplay. The band toured in France and the U.K., and they have been championed by Alan McGee (Creation Records) as the "most successful band to come out of France in the last 20 years." Their debut album, Dawdlewalk was released in France in October 2009. In June 2010, Sourya released Star Gigolos and headlined the Villa Aperta festival in Rome, Italy.
I?ve sworn, my love
I?ve been reborn, my love
Don?t be forlorn, my love
I?ve torn my heart
Do not mourn my depart
I?ve been reborn, my love
I'm watching you
There's nothing they can do
Now, I'm reborn, my love
Yeah, you must believe
You?ll live on without me
I?m leaving all my love
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
Don?t fear my friend 'cause there is no real end
I?ve been reborn, my love
I?m happy here, I have nothing to fear
I?m getting all the love, oh, yeah
So, shed a tear for all the happy years
And just move on, my love
I?ll ride this crowd and when your time comes 'round
We?ll need all our love
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
