Jack & Jo (2025) - Johannes Hopfner

Jack & Jo (2025)

Enregistré au Penny Lane Studio et dévoilé en 2025, Jack & Jo est une parenthèse électro assumée dans le parcours de Johannes Hopfner. Ses compositions folk y sont réinventées dans un univers plus frontal, vibrant, presque incandescent. Entre pulsations électroniques, élans introspectifs et éclats de lumière, cet EP explore les zones d’ombre, les vertiges intérieurs et les métamorphoses intimes. Une aventure sonore audacieuse, façonnée avec Jacques Le Honsec, qui signe ici une production résolument plus électro.

Recorded at Penny Lane Studio and released in 2025, Jack & Jo opens a bold electro chapter in Johannes Hopfner’s musical journey. His folk‑rooted compositions are reimagined here through a more vibrant, pulsating and experimental lens. Blending electronic energy with introspective themes and flashes of light, the EP dives into inner shadows, emotional shifts and personal transformation. A daring sonic detour shaped with Jacques Le Honsec, whose production embraces a fully assumed electro identity.

1. I’m Just a Man (3:32) + PAROLES

I’m just a man, living on my own, no one to blame
It takes a lot, a lot to be a man in this world of pain
Riding on the wave of knowledge
Burning your dark lost emotions
Walking down the street on fire
I see myself in your eyes
Kan du ikke bare går din vej
Synes du ikke vi lige skulle tale sammen ?

I’m just a man, this is my final dance
I’m just a man, give me a second chance
I’m just a man, don’t you keep the distance
I’m just a man, give me a little glance

I’m just a man, trying to be cool in a cruel world
It takes a life, a life to learn how to be a man
Medication burns out my brain,
Standing on the edge of love
Jumping in the heat of the sun
You can make it up to me

I’m just a man, this is my final dance
I’m just a man, give me a second chance
I’m just a man, don’t you keep the distance
I’m just a man, give me a little glance

Step into the light and let it go
Shaking up your life and join the party
Love is in your blood just let it flow
Jeg vidste ikke, du var her
Nu ved jeg, du er her
Men det kan godt være lige meget
Du synes, du er morsom
Jeg synes, du er kedelig
Kan du bare ikke gå din vej?
Det er hyggeligt at få så meget tilbudt
Synes du ikke, du lige skulle slappe af?
Hvor er du pænere, når du er ren
Guld i øjet med din flaske ved siden
Kan du ikke bare går din vej
Synes du ikke vi lige skulle tale sammen ?
I’m just a man… I’m just a man…
I’m just a man… I’m just a man, Give me a little glance

I’m just a man, this is my final dance
I’m just a man, give me a second chance
I’m just a man, don’t you keep the distance
I’m just a man, give me a little glance

2. Move up Slowly (3:26) + PAROLES

Oh Yeah come on mate, move up slowly
Please come and get up speak to me
You don’t have to be so sorry
Life is not what it seems to be
Forget all your troubles be happy

I feel so free yeah, take my hand and move up slowly
I feel so free yeah, since I opened my eyes widely

I can make you dance to the moon
Just be prepared cause I’m coming soon
I can see your smile in my spoon
Everything turns blue like a cartoon

I feel so free yeah, take my hand and move up slowly
I feel so free yeah, since I opened my eyes widely

Oh Yeah come on mate
Sitting on a plane we’re so cool
As we’re getting closer to the sea
As soon as we land in this dream
We are swimming in the heart of love

I feel so free yeah, take my hand and move up slowly
I feel so free yeah, since I opened my eyes widely
I feel so free yeah, take my hand and move up slowly
I feel so free yeah, since I opened my eyes widely
I feel so free yeah, I feel so free yeah
I feel so free yeah, I feel so free yeah
I feel so free yeah, since I opened my eyes widely yeah

3. My Sunshine, My Paradise (3:30) + PAROLES

Life is not the same when you’re not around
Everything is black living in the dark
People call it love I’m calling you my drug

You’re my sunshine, my paradise

I’m not the one I used to be.
Years have changed me it’s another me.
disoriented, like my mind is blocked
I can’t wake up I feel so lonely

You’re my sunshine my paradise, you’re my sunshine my paradise
falling from the sky each time I see your smile,

You give me lots of love to face another day
My broken memories are killing me again
I can’t walk away you’re my everything
I wish I could give you my eyes to see how beautiful you are
Love is a strange game trying to gain what we’ve lost

You’re my sunshine my paradise, you’re my sunshine my paradise
you’re my sunshine my paradise, my paradise

Something from the past is driving me so mad
But I’m ready to fight my demons in the night
Even if the stars are kicked out of the way

You’re my sunshine, my paradise
You’re my sunshine my paradise,
You’re my sunshine my paradise, my paradise
You’re my sunshine my paradise

4. Walking on a Green Cloud (3:28) + PAROLES

A perfect day to jump in the heat of the sun
Break all the lines, cross heaven’s bridge
Fly away up to outer space and be the one you always wanted to be

Walking on a green cloud over the magic rainbow
Lost in the universe I don’t know where I should go
Walking on a green cloud over the magic rainbow

Return to the source without medication
Love with your heart, power to the vibes
Unlock your dreams and make this world a better place for future generations

Walking on a green cloud over the magic rainbow
Lost in the universe I don’t know where I should go
Walking on a green cloud over the magic rainbow

We can all become climate change warriors
kick your habit, kick your addiction
Sustainable development is the blueprint to achieve peace and justice

Walking on a green cloud over the magic rainbow
Lost in the universe I don’t know where I should go
Walking on a green cloud over the magic rainbow
Lost in the universe I don’t know where I should go

5. Behind the Moon (3:18) + PAROLES

Unravel mysteries baby of the big bang space
There is no distance baby between you and me
There is no distance baby between you and me
Between you and me… I miss you so badly
I remember… Twenty thousand years ago…

Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !

I step into the flow, to reach out for my soul
I dance like your daddy, breaking all the rules
I’m a reckless man baby when I’m on my block
There is no distance baby between you and me,
Between you and me… I need you so badly
I remember… Twenty thousand years ago

Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !
Take it baby, take it bay ya hey !

Twenty thousand … years… years ago

6. Big Foot (3:47) + PAROLES

I watch the sun rise so full of grace, nature again, big time with big dreams
Losing myself with a kiss, I hear the big foot, a kiss
I hear the Tick Tock, a kiss, I should never leave this place even for a kiss
I fear tomorrow, I woke up in a dream with his hairy hand
Tattoo of a rabbit god on my forehead,
Good news for the angels falling, here is a song for you

Back beat, born to be a boss, born to be a bitch, you’re a dick
Hard bone, something in the wind, going to bring you home
Back beat, born to be a boss, born to be a bitch, you’re a dick
Hard bone, something in the wind, going to bring you home

I look in his eyes, confrontations, scratching my spirit, higher power
Let’s run together, there’s no limit, we go fishing, there’s no escape
I fear tomorrow, I woke up in a dream with his hairy hand
Tattoo of a rabbit god on my forehead,
Good news for the angels falling, here is a song for you

Back beat, born to be a boss, born to be a bitch, you’re a dick
Hard bone, something in the wind, going to bring you home
Back beat, born to be a boss, born to be a bitch, you’re a dick
Hard bone, something in the wind, going to bring you home

I got a vision out of space, me and my friend we travel again
Far from this earth we are in space, Meditation in the universe
I fear tomorrow, I woke up in a dream with his hairy hand
Tattoo of a rabbit god on my forehead,
Good news for the angels falling, here is a song for you
Tattoo of a rabbit god on my forehead,
Good news for the angels falling, here is a song for you
Tattoo of a rabbit god on my forehead,
Good news for the angels falling, here is a song for you

7. Shadows in the Light (3:35) + PAROLES

Turn off the light, get out of here
Even if you are afraid
Even if you want to stay home
Losing yourself, losing your soul

Is just a thing that you need, that you need to try
Losing yourself, losing your soul
Is just a thing that you need, that you need to try
Need to try

Stay in the light, where angels cry
All my dreams with you remain
Wandering in the woods aimlessly

Losing yourself, losing your soul
Is just a thing that you need, that you need to try
Losing yourself, losing your soul
Is just a thing that you need, that you need to try
Need to try
