Paroles & musiques

Une chanson qui me trottine dans la tête et dont je ne me souviens plus des paroles...

Une envie de réécouter sa voix et son accent so charming

Chanson parfaite pour l'instant présent.

Je ne t'entends pas très bien
il y a si longtemps
d'où m'appelles tu? D'où vient
ce besoin si pressant
de m'écouter soudain?
Les poules auraient-elles des dents?

Ma voix t'a-t-elle manqué
après bientôt un an ?
Ce serait une belle journée
et il n'y en a pas tant
je sais me contenter
de petites choses à présent

On enterre ce qui meurt
on garde les bons moments
j'ai eu quelquefois peur
que tu m'oublies vraiment
tu as sur mon humeur
encore des effets gênants

Mais tu ne me dois rien
j'ai eu un mal de chien
à me faire à cette idée
à l'accepter enfin
est-ce qu'au moins tu m'en sais gré ?
Chacun poursuit son chemin
avec ce qu'on lui a donné
mais toi, toi tu ne me dois rien

Tu ne m'as pas dérangé
je vis seul pour l'instant
mais je ne suis pas pressé
tu sais, je prends mon temps
tout est si compliqué
tout me parait si différent

On ne refait pas sa vie
on continue seulement
on dort moins bien la nuit
on écoute patiemment
de la maison les bruits
du dehors l'effondrement

Je vais bien cela dit
appelle moi plus souvent
si tu en a envie
si tu as un moment
mais il n'y a rien d'écrit
et rien ne t'y oblige vraiment

Pour une fois, juste des paroles extraites de diverses chansons et qui résonnent pour moi . Elles sont issues du répertoire de Phil Collins que je re-re-redécouvre et qui me fait toujours le même effet...

Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off a light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
But I don't remember

I've been trying oh so long
to let you know
let you know how I feel
So if I stumble and if I fall
just help me back
so I can make you see
I know there'll never be a time
you'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words
But if you change your mind
you know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn

There's a reason I hide my heart
Out of sight out of mind
And when I find out just who you are
The door will be open for you to ...
Find a way to my heart ...

I don't know why,
the way you're falling away from me.
I can't describe
it's how it feels, it's what I see.

If you just call my name
anytime at all,
anytime at all,
anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
but you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I can't deny
if you reach out and touch my hand it's there.

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind

You were lonely and you needed a friend
And he was there at the right time with the right smile
Just a shoulder to lean on
Someone to say don't you worry it'll all be alright
But he's no good for you
He'll make you think your whole life's been leading to this

... parmi tant d'autres...

Découverte de l'album de la petite gamine finalement assez talentueuse, perdante, certes de la nouvelle star de l'an dernier, mais qui nous livre un album riche de bien de choses, dont cette chanson qui a retenu mon attention. A écouter parce que c'est un album varié et original...

Tant de vallées, de prairies, de rivières
Et la joie des plaines
La chance, la déveine
J'ai croisé des cactus, des coyotes,
Des roulottes à la chaîne
Et des fantômes à la pelle

J'ai dévalé tout les mondes
Mes bottes foulaient la poussière
Les bonheurs et les peines
J'ai bravé cent dangers
Traversé les terres chères aux Cheyennes
J'en ai déçu des Sioux même

Calamity Jane (*6)

J'ai tant laissé derrière moi
Abandonné mon coeur au désert
Soumis mon corps aux tempêtes
J'ai misé sur demain
J'ai flambé mes dollars au poker
J'ai tout brûlé mes amulettes

J'en ai pisté des canailles, des terreurs
La nuit à cheval, sous la chaleur, sans éventail
J'ai croisé des prêcheurs, des païens
Des hommes sans loi ni âme
Et un héros sans défauts, sans failles
Que j'aime...

Calamity Jane (*6)

Tant de vallées de prairies, de rivières
Et la joie des plaines
La chance, la déveine
Si le ciel me faisait le cadeau rêvé d'une vie nouvelle
Sans hésiter je revivrais la mienne

Bono faisant les choeurs de leonard Cohen, franchement, c'est pas du bonus pour un dimanche soir ??

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A hundred floors above me
In the Tower of Song

I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
They tied me to this table right here
In the Tower of Song

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
Ah they don't let a woman kill you
Not in the Tower of Song

Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices
In the Tower of Song

I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never have to lose it again

Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
There moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly
From a window in the Tower of Song

Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
Was the hardest part

And the strangest thing
Was waiting for that bell to ring
It was the strangest start

I could feel it go down
Bittersweet, I could taste in my mouth
Silver lining the cloud
Oh and I
I wish that I could work it out

And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part
You really broke my heart

And I tried to sing
But I couldn’t think of anything
And that was the hardest part

I could feel it go down
You left the sweetest taste in my mouth
You're a silver lining the clouds
Oh and I x2
I wonder what it’s all about x2

Everything I know is wrong
Everything I do, it's just comes undone
And everything is torn apart

Oh and it’s the part
That’s the hardest part
Yeah that’s the hardest part
That’s the hardest part

Archive, c'est un de mes groupes préférés. J'aime leurs colères, leur haine parfois. J'aime la dureté de leurs mots et leurs mélodies lancinantes... J'aime leurs airs planants. J'aime sa voix.

Mon album(*) chouchou... "Lights" en 2006... (*)(pas le dernier)

I've been walking through the park
I've been walking in the dark
I've been walking in the rain
I've been walking with so much pain
I've been walking in the sun
It's bought me so much fun
Lying on a beach
Darkness out of reach
The world is not so cold
But still it makes me fold

So hold me and keep me sailing
Hold me close to you
Keep me from failing
Disappearing from you

Keep those clouds dispersing
Never leave my side

Don't let that peaceful water
Don't let it subside
Don't let my head confide
Don't let my head collide

With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies
With those cynical lies

Parce que Jem, je n'aime pas, j'adore... Sa voix, sa douceur et la beauté de ses chansons... Extraite d'un ancien album, mais je n'ai pas trouvé de vidéos du récent, hélas.

Come on closer
I wanna show you
What I'd like to do
You sit back now
Just relax now
I'll take care of you

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

Gonna take it slow babe
Do it my way
Keep your eyes on me
Your reaction
To my action
Is what I want to see

Rhythmic motion
Raw emotion
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

And now you're satisfied
A twinkle in your eye
Go to sleep for ten
And anticipating
I will be waiting
For you to wake again

Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you

[When you wake up we'll
do it all again]
[When you wake up]
[When you wake up we'll
do it all again]
[When you wake up]

Hour after hour
of sweet pleasure
After this I guarantee
you'll never wanna leave
Shut your eyes and think about
what I'm about to do
Sit back relax I'll take my time
this lovin's all for you

Entendu à la radio... ça a retenu mon oreille. J'ai un faible pour les duos et celui-ci est juste parfait.

(Feat. Nikki Monninger Of Silversun Pickups)


you think its right
to fade away
without a fight
but two can play
cause i can tell
a thing or two

i implore you
cause your wrong to hide it

and if you want
to let it go
i promise you
won't be alone

i implore you
talk to me now
cause your wrong to hide it

and if you go like sliding away
under you feet
you can trust me

i implore you
talk to me now
cause your wrong to hide it

don't hide it
