If you think about it, the word "indie" is more related to a state of mind and a way of life, than a musical genre or a trend. And "Sophie", the new single from Simon Cornelis, from Brussels, reflects this state of mind very well.

One sentence struck me in the chorus: "I’ve got a surfboard on the roof, and a bed in the back of my van, I’ve got my Raybans on and the wind is dancing with her hair". Now you see what I'm talking about.

More than a simple declaration of love for Sophie, this track puts us in a strong emotional mood. And you who are looking for the thrills when you come to IMC, you are going to find them in this song.

Whether it's Simon's incredible voice, or the percussions that make your heart beat a little harder, or the poetry of the lyrics, there is bound to be an element that will make you succumb.

The power of this song is quite incredible, and thanks to a production that has been worked on to the smallest detail, Simon Cornelis released a masterpiece today.

Lyrics

Sophie spent the night

She slept wearing my clothes

We’re woken up by seagulls

Fighting on the beach

And the glasses of the cocktails we had

Are lying by her side

She is looking gorgeous

Just like she did last night

Nobody can tell us

Where to go, or who to be

It’s just her and me,

it’s just her and me

And we’re free

Riding along the coast of the ocean

Yeah we’re free

Riding along the coast of the ocean

I’ve got a surfboard on the roof

And a bed in the back of my van

I’ve got my Raybans on

And the wind is dancing with her hair

And she’ll beg me with those big brown eyes

If she can stay with me tonight

She don’t want to go home

She’ll beg me with those big brown eyes

If she can stay with me tonight

She don’t want to go home

We don’t want no big promotions

No white picket fence

Nobody really can tell us

What tomorrow brings

Sophie just dances

To the songs I sing and play

We’re doing what we love

We don’t waste a day

Nobody can tell us

Where to go, or who to be

It’s just her and me,

it’s just her and me

And we’re free

Riding along the coast of the ocean

Yeah we’re free

Riding along the coast of the ocean

I’ve got a surfboard on the roof

And a bed in the back of my van

I’ve got my Raybans on

And the wind is dancing with her hair

And she’ll beg me with those big brown eyes

If she can stay with me tonight

She don’t want to go home

She’ll beg me with those big brown eyes

If she can stay with me tonight

She don’t want to go home

Yea-a-hea

Yeeea-a-eee-hea

Yea-a-hea

Yeeea-a-eee-hea

She’ll beg me with those big brown eyes

If she can stay with me tonight

She don’t want to go home
