Paroles & musiques

Une version(*) que je ne connaissais pas, avec une voix nouvelle et parfaite... Chut !

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, come under cover
They can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us (x2)

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring on the telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, come under cover
They can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us (x2)

With love we sleep, with doubt
the vicious circle turns, and burns
Without you, I cannot live,
forgive the yearning burning
I believe in love too real to feel,
take me now, take me now, take me now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us (x2)

(*) L'originale de Patti Smith, c'est quand même déjà super !!

Retour sur Muse, avec cette chanson que j'avais oubliée... comment avais-je pu l'oublier ??

Tant pis je craque... Et je la poste. Na.
C'est pas de ma faute...

Il a trop la voix de Chris Martin dans cette chanson... Et la musique... et les paroles...

Rien à dire. Je craque

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then it's smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you

I think it's strange you never knew
X2

Chut.
Fermez les yeux et écoutez... mais la version originale est mieux... quant aux paroles... à vous de les découvrir.

If you wake to find you're all alone
Call me up on the telephone, and I'll say
"Come on 'round, kick up your feet"
I'll check to see if your heart still beats, you can stay
I heard her laugh but she sounded blue
I said "you know my heart's for you, it likes awake
Dreaming of its promised land
A gentle touch from your gentle hand" I would say.

So hush, little darling, don't you cry
Hush, little darling, gonna make you mine

I know our love did rust away
But through that window came a better day
So don't close the blinds
Cause you're my light, you're my emptiness
The pretty colours on that summer dress, babe
You're all the things that fall from the sky
The sun, the rain, the moon, the light, babe
So come on down to this earthly being
And I'll hold you close when you're in need, babe

So hush, little darling, don't you cry
Hush, little darling, gonna make you mine
Hush, little darling, don't you cry
Hush, little darling, gonna make you mine

Mon coup de coeur du moment... un groupe que je découvre, l'odeur de l'Australie... Merci j'en ai besoin !

She said, hello mister
Pleased to meet ya
I want to hold her,
I want to kiss her,
She smell the daisy,
She smell the daisy,
She drive me crazy,
She drive me crazy

Chorus: Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane (X3)
Yeah, hey

Be my lover,
My lady river
But can i take ya,
Take ya higher

Chorus: Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane (X4)
Hey hey

Gonna hold you,
Gonna kissing my arms
Gonna take you,
Away from home
(X2)

Chorus: Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane(X4)
Hey hey

Plus qu'une ritournelle, un truc qui s'ancre, qui reste, qui résonne...

Tom McRae m'accompagne depuis pas mal de temps. Voici l'une de ses compositions les plus connues mais tant d'autres devraient aussi être ici... peut-être une autre fois ?

You wake up to the sound of alarms and you're
Driving your fabulous car
Listening to the music that reminds you
You used to be young, you used to be young

And now you're searching, for a sign with your name
To define you the king of the game
What will you do when there's nothing left
For you to earn and for you to learn

So dose me up once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time

And every culture has it's own magazine
And information takes the place of your dreams
Finding ways to fill up the silence
But it's all that you need turn on your TV

So dose me up once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time

This is the end of the world news
This is the end of the world news sponsored by God

So dose me up once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time

So dose me up once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time

So dose me up once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time

Petite chanson de (ma) nuit...

How simple it can be
I love you and you love me
There’s nothing in our ways

How simple it can be
Sunlight on a tree
There’s nothing more to say
Here by the water front
There’s nothing more to want

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

How simple it can be
The rhythm of the sea
The silence in our head

How simple it can be
I’m scared and you hold me
And everything has been sad
It’s the biggest fear of all
I lose you, I lose it all

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love, love, love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love, love, love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love, love, love
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Love, love, love

Parce que j'adore Sarah Bettens, parce que K's Choice commençait à me manquer(*), parce que cette chanson me bouleverse à chaque fois que je l'écoute...

Life has always been a pretty song
And pretty loud
You're so beautiful
Why is it fading out
I don't want to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real
Now the boy who dried your tears
Is crying all the time
Now the joy I've had for years
Has left me for a while
I don't want to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

I will breathe the air, I'll dance
And you will wonder why
It's because you made me see
This chance was moving by
Because I'm not going to live forever
But as long as I do
I'd love to live for real

With you I might get there
With you I might start to feel
With you I will get there
With you I will live for real

When a cloud becomes my head
Play your music loud instead
And we'll dance until
The both of us are dead

Leur nouvel album Echo Mountain vient de sortir !...

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

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
