Many of his lyrics are based on anarchist and visionary concepts, with rhythms commonly seen in 1960s London and late 1970s New York club scenes.

[citation needed] Following his studies, he worked as a journalist and a photographer for various French magazines including Salut les copains, Mademoiselle Age Tendre, SuperHebdo, Actuel (dedicated to counter-culture), and Lui (or Paris Match.

Unexpectedly, the B-side track (Quand t'es dans le Désert) was more successful commercially than the single itself, becoming an anthem among students who participated or sympathized with the May '68 protests.

In 1982, Capdevielle released his third album L'Ennemi Public, recorded at Bearsville Sound Studio (next to Woodstock) with the participation of renowned American musicians such as Wells Kelly (a musical accompanist of Meat Loaf).

The lyrics of the first song, Tu es pas fait pour ça, directly denounce the influence of the media ("They judge you in the name of the laws they invent / For them you are always on the dirty slope / You have to leave your carousel / If nobody protects you / They weigh your rage by the weight of their schemes / It seems you must sell everything in a window / You have to know how to crawl on the ground / To become a real pop singer.")

Besides his musical career, Capdevielle achieved other artistic pursuits of various forms; he hosted a TV Show, Les Totems du Bataclan between 1985 and 1986; and in 1986, he acted in a telefilm L'Enigme des Sables directed by Philippe Valois.

When he returned in 1995, he directed several video clips, including "Si tu te bats (If you fight)" (Renaud Hantson) and another one for Richard Cocciante.

In 1997, reconnecting with his old passion for classical music, he wrote, composed and directed Carmine Meo for the soprano Emma Shapplin, an album of contemporary opera, sung in 14th century Italian.

[citation needed] In 2001, Capdevielle wrote and composed a neo-romantic opera, still in the 14th century Italian : Atylantos… A legend of Atlantis, with Chiara Zeffirelli, Elena Cojocaru, Jade Laura Angelis and Nikola Todorovitch.

The first drafts of these songs were released on social media and Capdevielle decided to launch a campaign on the crowdfunding platform KissKissBankBank.
