Grâce à la gentillesse de Ioulia voici une nouvelle chanson de Jehro, extraite de son toujours excellent album "Cantina Paradise". Oui, cela commence à faire pas mal d'extraits de lui, mais ... "quand on aime, on ne compte pas !" paraît-il !

All this time I’ve wondered
What to do
There’s a hole in my heart
It belongs to you
All those silver nights
Turn to blue
‘Cause now, we’re through

I walk along the river baby
Thinkin ‘bout the days we had
Lookin at the river, babe
It’s got a hold on me

Walk along the river baby
Everybody’s gone but me
Life is like a river babe
It all runs out to sea

I’ll just have to lay you down
Till some better times
I will make it fine
I’ll just have to lay you down
At the break of dawn
I’ll be movin’ on

Lookin at the river, baby
I still can see your golden curls
Embraces have gone bitter
and they’re branded on my skin

I should have read between the lines
But could it ever change your mind
It made me feel so lonely lonely lonely
But I’ll get by

I just have to lay you down
One day at a time
I will make it fine
I just have to lay you down
At the break of dawn
I’ll just movin’on

There were times I broke down in silence
There were times I ran out of patience
Waiting for a sign from you

There were times I was hardly living
There were times I was a ghostly shadow
Just for the love of you

I walk along the river, baby
Walk along the river and
Walk along the river and I think of you

The shimmer of the wavelets
I watch them rolling by
Taking all my troubles away

Oh, I’m just walkin’ on the river, baby
Oh, the river of time

En bonne fan de Coldplay, je partage donc leur nouveau morceau, disponible sur iTunes... et en écoute par ici aussi !

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I’m on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight

I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don’t want to see another generation drop
I’d rather be a comma than a full stop

Maybe I’m in the black, maybe I’m on my knees
Maybe I’m in the gap batween the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

And we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinking into
To tell me it’s alright
As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
And every tear’s a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Oh
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
Is a a waterfall
Every tear
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I’ll raise the flag

Oh
It was a wa-a-terfall
A wa-a-terfall

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

Un bien bel album qui a de faux airs de gospel et une voix qui donne des frissons... Une bien jolie voix. Un bien beau morceau, pioché dans le lot... Bref, j'aime bien Adèle ! Si vous ne la connaissez pas encore, découvrez-la vite car elle mérite un détour musical.

You've been on my mind,
I grow fonder every day,
Lose myself in time,
Just thinking of your face,
God only knows why it's taken me so long to let my doubts go,
You're the only one that I want,

I don't know why I'm scared,
I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forgive your past and simply be mine,

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
Promise I'm worthy,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

If I've been on your mind,
You hang on every word I say,
Lose yourself in time,
At the mention of my name,
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close,
And have you tell me whichever road I choose, you'll go?

I don't know why I'm scared,
'Cause I've been here before,
Every feeling, every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try,
To forgive your past and simply be mine,

I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worthy, mmm,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart,
Nobody's pefect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's pefect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's pefect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,
Nobody's pefect,
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart),
Trust me I've learned it,

So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only,
I promise I'm worthy,
To hold in your arms,
So come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts,

Come on and give me a chance,
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile,
Until the end starts.

Un nouvel extrait de mon nouveau groupe préféré du moment, à savoir Elbow. J'aime beaucoup sa voix, leurs mélodies et beaucoup de leurs chansons... A découvrir si ce n'est déjà fait !

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
Though I never perfected the simian stroll
The cigarettes and it was everything then

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys
Build a rocket boys!

One long June
I came down from the trees
and kerbstone cool
You were a freshly painted angel
Walking on walls
Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses
And nobody knew me at home anymore

Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys
Build a rocket boys!

Lippy kids on the corner again


Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
And I never effected that simian stroll
No

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys
Build a rocket boys!

One long June
I came down from the trees
And kerbstone cool
You were a freshly painted angel
Walking on walls
Stealing booze and hour long hungry kisses
And nobody knows me at home anymore

Build a rocket boys!
Build a rocket boys
Build a rocket boys!

Je ne suis pas la seule à apprécier la suave voix de Jehro, alors zoup, second extrait de son album, en live cette fois avec "why me ?"

Tell me about it girl
What is this story, babe
That gift can't be taken

Why me
You think that I'm the one for you
I was born with a duffel on my back
Can we lighten up

Why me
I barely do the laundry
And I hate to wake up early
Can we lighten up, girl

Tell me...
Why this love, why this love
Why this love, are you sure that I'm the one
Why this love, that your heart is longing for
Why this love
But if you put your head upon my shoulder
I'm not the kind of man who's gonna walk away

Why me
Your love is like a fountain
But I will not dare to drink it
Can we lighten up

Tell me...
Why this love, why this love
Why this love, are you sure that I'm the one
Why this love, that your heart is longing for
Why this love

You got that little something
But I know what the feelings do
And you know I'll be good to you
I just live for the open road
But your love is a compliment
That I can't deny

But if you put your head upon my shoulder
I'm not the kind of man who's gonna walk away

Tell me why me (why me) x4
Tell me why you're good to me, good to me, good to me x4

You know it's a feeling  (Ha ha)
A deep feeling   (Ha ha)
It takes two   (Ha ha)
To get sharing  (Ha ha)
It's a feeling,  (Ha ha)
A deep feeling  (Ha ha)
It takes two to get   (Ha ha)
Sharing baby  (Ha ha)

I tell you one day, you're gonna meet a boy
(One day) who's gonna be nice to you
(One day) you'll know what to do
(One day) what your heart tells you to
(One day) you're gonna meet a boy
(One day) who's gonna be nice to you
(One day) you'll know what to do
(One day) what your heart tells you to
(One day) Ohh
(One day) do you really really want me
(One day) do you really really want me
(One day) do you really really want me
(One day)

Aujourd'hui, ce devrait être un Bob Marley, mais comme je me doute qu'il y aura, à l'occasion du 30ème anniversaire de sa mort, des centaines de vidéos qui vont ressortir de lui, je préfère partager ici un autre groupe de Reggae, peu connu mais qui monte...

It's you and me, it's always been
And how I feel about you, there's no end
But you make me chase you around, all around
And then you need me there when you fall down, down
And when this dance is done,
You and me are still the only one
Well since our time begun
And I'm still with you even when your gone
When this dance is done,
You and me are still the only one
Well since our time begun
And I'm still with you even when your...

So I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
Ya-e ya-e yah-a

It's you and me, back again
Don't introduce me to all your new friends
Why do you make me chase you around?
Why do your words make me not make a sound, sound?
And when this dance is done,
You and me are still the only one
Yes since time begun
I'm still with you even when your gone
When this dance is done,
You and me are still the only one
Yes since time begun
I'm still with you even when your..

I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
I want it knowing that you're walking away
I start it, and you stop it
Ya-e ya-e yah

Hop là !! et le voici et le voilà ! premier extrait de son album tout beau tout neuf...

The cactus flowers bloomed,
The Mexicali moon was rising,
But tonight, is just not any night
It's that once in your life.

Bam, bam, ouh ouh ouh...
Oh, now he's coming
She's smiling on the pillow, at the break of day
He call for mamorillo, to say he's on its way
From the moment you left, you come walking from my what's pain,
She's been waiting so long, now the baby is on its way.

If it's tonight, tonight,
tonight, tonight,
tonight, tonight,
tonight, tonight,
ouh, ouh, ouh...

Now she's over the rainbow,
It fell so lonely today to go,
Down the coast where they use to go,
She will be standing by

Cause it's tonight, tonight
tonight, tonight,
tonight, tonight,
tonight, tonight,

Just to feel your hand in mine
Makes my heart beat, faster every time
Just to feel your hand in mine,
It will heal all of my wounds tonight
todou, dou, dou... hey

You know he's coming home baby
He's coming home now
And sing it, sing it, ohhh, ohhh...
He's over cross the boarder
Just, just came from the jail now

A grey house coming
He just wanted to be around for the baby
Cause we have it really now
He knows what there life means now

Just tonight, tonight, there is no wrong or right
tonight, tonight
tonight, tonight,
tonight, tonight,

You know he's coming,
Hey, you know he's coming,
You know he's coming,
He's gonna be right next to you

It's gonna be a beautiful night
It's gonna be a beautiful night
Just once in your life
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight.

Ceux qui ne regardent pas Grey's Anatomy ne comprendront probablement pas le pourquoi de cette chanson, mais même si l'interprétation originale est "pas mal" celle de l'épisode 18 de la saison 7 a une toute autre émotion... cependant, les paroles ont toute leur place ici, donc...

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

It's true...I was made for you

... En attendant le 11 de ce mois, et la sortie de son album tant attendu (Cantina Paradise), voici une reprise, comme Jehro sait si bien les faire, d'une chanson de G. Brassens ("les passantes")... A découvrir pour son ambiance toujours cool.

De faux airs des EELS, une bonne base guitare / voix... bref, j'aime bien !

There's a random painted highway
And a muzzle of bees
My sleeves have come unstitched
From climbing your tree

And dogs laugh, some say they're barking
I don't think they're mean
Some people get so frightened
Of the fences in between

And the sun gets passed from tree to tree
Silently, and back to me
With the breeze blown through
Pushed up against the sea
Finally back to me

I'm assuming you got my message
On your machine
I'm assuming you love me
And you know what that means

Sun gets passed, sea to sea
Silently, and back to me
With the breeze blown through
Pushed up above the leaves

With the breeze blown through
My head upon your knee
Half of it's you, half is me
Half of it's you, half is me

Une chanson de plus qui "me fout les poils" comme on dit si élégamment...

A friend of mine grows his very own brambles
They twist all around him 'til he can't move
Beautiful, quivering, chivalrous shambles
What is my friend trying to prove?

The booze turns a tall, gentle boy to a terrible totem
And the kids gather round trying to see what's inside
I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riot
What is my friend trying to hide?

Cause it's breaking my heart, it's breaking my heart
And it's breaking my heart to pour like the rain
Brother of mine, don't run with those fuckers
When will my friend start singing again?
When will my friend start singing again?

When will my friend start singing again?

Pour une fois, je fournis la traduction

Un ami cultive ses propres ronces
Qui l'entourent jusqu'à ce qu'il ne puisse plus bouger
Beau, palpitant, dans une pagaille chevaleresque
Qu'est-ce que mon ami essaie de prouver ?

La boisson transforme un grand, un doux garçon en un totem épouvantable
Et les enfants se rassemblent autour pour voir la suite
Je pense que quand il boit il noie un peu sa débauche
Qu'est-ce que mon ami essaie de cacher ?

Car il brise mon cœur, cela brise mon cœur
Et il brise mon cœur qui coule comme la pluie
Mon frère : ne va pas avec ces connards
Quand mon ami chantera-t-il à nouveau ?
Quand mon ami chantera-t-il à nouveau ?

Quand mon ami chantera-t-il à nouveau ?

Je ne suis pas une fan de Téléphone, ni de Jean-Louis Aubert... mais malgré tout, j'écoute pour découvrir, et l'avantage d'une oreille "neuve", c'est justement de n'avoir aucun à priori. Donc je suis agréablement surprise par son avant-dernier album (puisqu'il en a ressorti un autre depuis) "Roc Eclair". J'aime cet album car il est plus intimiste, plus posé, plus calme. Bref, je préfère cette facette-ci de l'artiste que je trouve par ailleurs plutôt sympathique et simple. Donc : hommage !

Je veux chanter, je veux te faire oublier
Ton âme en peine, ton manque de veine.
Je veux chanter et te baratiner : demain sera parfait.
Je veux chanter, je veux te faire t'agiter
Sur les décombres de notre monde.
Je veux chanter et je veux t'faire chanter, demain, je m'y remets.
 
Les pugilats, les combats, les arguments à deux balles.
Laisse-les là, ils sont bien, au pied des tours infernales.
Les p'tits malfrats, les quinquas, les gros banquiers en cavale
Laisse-les aux radios matinales.
 
Je veux danser, je veux danser sur les braises.
Il fait si chaud, mets-toi à l'aise.
Je veux danser comme un derviche balèze, les deux pieds dans la glaise.
 
Les p'tits cadors en goguette s'occupent déjà de nos dettes.
Les p'tits castors à ressort, ils sont encore bien plus forts.
Si, dans nos villes, ça sent fort, ils prennent en charge la mort
Laisse-les donc à leur sort.
 
Je veux chanter, je veux te faire oublier
Le mal de vivre, le mal d'aimer.
Je veux chanter et je veux t'faire mentir, demain, je m'y remets.
 
Donne-moi la main, camarade, tout ça, c'est d'la rigolade.
Donne-moi la main, camarade, même si on est dans la panade
Demain sera parfait.
 
Je veux chanter, je veux te faire oublier
Ton âme en peine, ton manque de veine.
Je veux chanter et te baratiner : demain sera parfait.
Demain sera parfait, demain sera parfait.

Un petit souvenir... Sans paroles

Une vieille chanson de Roy Orbison, parce que sa voix mérite d'être ici depuis longtemps et qu'il était, je le crois, passé à la trappe jusqu'ici... Correction faite et discographie à découvrir pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas... En attendant, voici un classique

Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where I can't find my way
Without her as my guide

Night falls I'm cast beneath here spell
Daylight comes our heaven torn to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then I just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

Haunted by her side is the darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
But if my love is blind then I don't want to see
She's a mystery to me

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven torn to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
