Paroles & musiques

Streets full of people with trinkets to share
Offering them up for the folks in despair
Yondi and crystals and oils for growth
For the spirit, body and mind is begoth
Emphasis placed on the body and mind, the heart is often somewhere behind
And its strange, you see it's strange

Tiny little bones, the innocent child, 
lookin up at me with the saddest of eyes
Is their innocence intact, or has it been stained
Has the creature that feeds her taken it away
Strange, so sad and strange

Recognize my health
The things that I have been dealt
Places that I have roamed, feelings I've had, things that I know
Home, I'm home
Home, I'm home, home home home
Home, I'm home

Runnin through the bush and all of the trees
Moving in time with my capable speed ?
The shell of an egg of a bird long since gone
Maybe it rose up to spread its new wings
Or maybe ?
Strange, so real and strange

The places we roam, and people we meet
Some connections are strong and some that are weak
One or two or three or four or maybe five or six or more
Strong as the roots of a big ol gum tree
It will carry them through to the next life we see
Strange, so beautifully strange

Recognize my health
The things that I have been dealt
Places that I have roamed, feelings I've had, things that I know
Home, I'm home
Home, I'm home, home home home
Home, I'm home

One... hmm.. I'm not gonna count sorry
Everyday I wake up, wonder why 
I'm alone when I know I'm a lovely guy 
Birds come down from sky so blue 
See all the beautiful things you do 
Why can't I just get with you 

Every night I carry out my plan 
Pray to God that one day I could be your man 
Birds come down from sky so blue 
See all the beautiful things you do 
Why can't I just get with 

You'd be my only friend in the world 
Well you could just be my girl 

And if I do run away from this life 
There won't be much for me in the afterlife 
Although I know that you don't even care 
I'd rather stay in a world where 
Birds come down from sky so blue 
See all the beautiful things you do 
Why can't I just get with you

Ca c'est certainement le meilleur moment de ma journée !! Enfin : le revoilà. J'avais besoin de cela et on peut dire que ça tombe à pic !! Merci Jehro !... "cantina paradise" is coming soon... voilà donc un petit avant-goût de cet album que j'attends depuis... 2007 environ !

Juste parce qu'à nouveau, ce groupe me touche avec cette chanson... qui date un peu, mais la beauté n'a pas d'âge, dit-on !...

Help yourself don't say a thing
Your love won't show and anything at all
If all you do is talk

Sadly I remain in need
Of all the things you say, believe and speak
All you do is talk

Help yourself, don't think
Help yourself, don't speak
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
Your lucky words don't bleed

Entirely in the raw we see
You said we're on our way and I will be
Alone and everything

You say it's all we'll ever need
You find an easy way but still you weep
Alone and everything

Help yourself, don't think
Help yourself, don't speak
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
Your lucky words don't bleed

Help yourself don't say a thing
The love you show won't mean a thing at all
If all you do is talk

Sadly we remain to see
What brings an end is also what we need
All you do is talk

Help yourself, don't think
Help yourself, don't speak
Help yourself, don't say a thing at all
Your lucky words don't bleed

Une petite séquence nostalgie, avec Police... Parce que c'est plein de souvenirs et qu'en la réécoutant, j'y retrouve la magie d'alors.

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition 
You will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
When you will find your servant is your master

Ohhh, you'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger 
You'll be wrapped around my finger 

Hello hello I've been weak for weeks 
Hello hello is there someone to speak? 
Hello hello can you hear me? 
Hello hello can you feel me?

Ache has no pride 
I feel like null like nought like life don't need me 
Like I could go missing nothing would change for an inch 
Well it's probably so 
Who said we have to be special? 
A minor monkeys' evolution 

Hello hello do I mean anything? 
Hello hello am I even being? 
Hello hello can you see me? 
Hello hello could you seek for me? 
Ache has no pride 
I feel like null like nought like life don't need me 
Like I could go missing nothing would change for an inch 
Well it's probably so 
Who said we have to be special? 
A minor monkeys' evolution 

Allez, un petit cadeau de mes chouchous, de circonstance et fort joli... donc ici !

Christmas night, another fight
Tears we cried a flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Poison in my blood

I took my feet
To Oxford Street
Trying to right a wrong
Just walk away 
Those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone 

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Up above candles on air flicker
Oh they flicker and they float
But I'm up here holding on
To all those chandeliers of hope

Like some drunken Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Saying how I always loved you darling
And I always will

Oh when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on

Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
Then all my troubles will be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on

Oh Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on

Le live a ses inconvénients... et ses avantages ! Là, il faut admettre que les papotages alentours sont pénibles, mais la chanson garde tout de même de sa beauté originale.

Don't say it's over so soon
We've tied to the day every wrong
We can wait in the shadows of mourning
But to wait just betrays what's to come
There's nothing, there's no one, no cause
And still we believed in it all

The sweet feeling's gone
The sweet feeling's gone

So they say with a pause
It's just moving on
But I can't see
No I can't see
No I can't see it at all

So they say with a pause
It's just moving on
But I can't see
No I can't see it at all

The sweet feeling's gone
The sweet feeling's gone

So they say with a pause
It's just moving on
But I can't see
No I can't see it at all

The sweet feeling's gone
The sweet feeling's gone

So we say with a pause
It's just moving on
But I can't see
No I can't see
No I can't see it at all

The sweet feeling's gone
The sweet feeling's gone
With you

Le dernier album de Yodelice, c'est vraiment tout aussi bien que le premier... Une suite de ballades, toutes plus apaisantes et douces les unes que les autres, et puis quelques autres morceaux vraiment originaux. Bref, que du bien agréable à écouter et réécouter...

I do believe there’s a chance, that not a chance
Not a chance
You care to spare me a dance
Not a chance
Not a chance
This waltz will not be the last
Not a chance
Not a chance
I’ve been hoping for someone like you
Five thousand nights
Let me be the one
To love you for five thousand more

What is the world was a chance, that's not a chance
Not a chance
You cried the song that I chanted
Not a chance
Not a chance
I’ve been hoping for someone like you
Five thousand days
Let me be the one
To love you for
Five thousand more

Les sorties d'album foisonnent en ce moment et je me réjouis de retrouver ce groupe dans un nouvel opus tout à fait à la hauteur de mes espérances... Beaucoup de douceur et de bien jolis morceaux dans ce "Birds In the Storm"... 
Voici leur 1er extrait qui m'a particulièrement séduite lors du live de taratata

When you have lost the power 
They used to leave you fee
To know you have this anger
For all the things you've seen
Believe the growing numbers 
The seeds will give a tree 
Life has a room for difference 
Cause you'll rise and you'll see gold in your pain

Something's coming up 
Something's coming up, my friend 
It's all right 
Something's coming up 
The wind is full of extra air

The only way to live in 
A world that doesn't care 
Of, how you could breathe in 
A non dreaming air?

Is to believe in the next day 
Seek beauty everywhere 
The world we live, my fears 
The shadow of the day 
I hope it's in my veins

Something's coming up 
Something's coming up, my friend 
I know by now 
Something's coming up 
The wind is full of extra air

In no way this is strong and
I can feel my eyes 
Burning all day long 
From the fire of my prize

A rainbow above the tree 
I came out of the pain 
A rainbow above, how beauty 
Sometimes comes out of convex, my needs, my strain

Something's coming up
Something's coming up
My friend
It's all right 
(Ah) Something's coming up 
(Seeds of gold) The wind is full of extra air

(Ah) (Seeds of gold) 
(Ah) (Seeds of gold)

(Ah) Something's coming up 
(Seeds of gold) Something's coming up 
My friend 
I know by now

(Ah) Something's coming up 
(Seeds of gold) The wind is full of extra air 
(Ah) (Seeds of gold) 
(Ah) (Seeds of gold)

Je l'attendais et le voici enfin... Le dernier Guster (Architects And Engineers) est enfin là ! Cool, je vais me remettre à la zik donc ! :)

We were young, twenty one, all those years ago
In came a fascination, everything is under control
Full of life, untried, through thickets and through thorns
Out came a revelation, everything is out of control

Do you feel it?
Do you feel it now?
Cuz we want it, but we don't know how?
Do we have it, as much as anybody ever has?
I wanna wake you from your dream,
I wanna know just who you're talking to when your singin' in your sleep
I wanna find out what it means
Do you love me?

Now we're fine, all right, but all those days are gone
We read our constellations, everything is under control
Are you tired, I'm tired(I'm tired)
The tv sparks and glows
The news man gives information, everything is under control

Do you feel it?
Do you feel it now?
Cuz we want it, but we don't know how?
Do we have it, as much as anybody ever has?
I wanna wake you from your dream,
I wanna know just who you're talking to when your singin' in your sleep
I wanna find out what it means
Do you love me?

I got marbles in my mouth
Thousand words I wanna say but it's impossible to spit em out
I can barely make a sound
Do you love me?


Do do do do do, do do do do do (x4)

Do you feel it?
Do you feel it now?
Cuz we want it, but we don't know how?
Do we have it, as much as anybody ever has?
I wanna wake you from your dream,
I wanna know just who you're talking to when your singin' in your sleep
I wanna find out what it means
Do you love me?

I got marbles in my mouth
Thousand words I wanna say but it's impossible to spit em out
I can barely make a sound
Do you love me, love me?

Do do do do do, do do do do do do do....

Et voilà le genre de morceau qui me fait penser que j'ai vraiment des goûts bizarres, parfois ! Mais j'assume. Ok, je suis à fond dans l'easy-listening là, et je me fais littéralement "avoir" parce que c'est déjà entendu des centaines de fois, c'est connu, entendu : toujours le même tempo qui fait se lever et bouger... et on se laisse aller. Alors oui, une fois de temps en temps, je me laisse aller au plus facile... comme tout le monde !

Je vais même mettre les paroles, des fois que ça raconterait quelque chose d'intéressant !... ;)

Girl you know I care
So if you ever seem to lose your way, don't have no fear
Hold my hand
I'll be there girl, you know I care girl
Cause this love that we share
I will stay within ah de right direction, don't have no fear
Hold my hand
I'll be there girl, you know I care girl
'Cause I care

(Zaho)
Le temps que j'ai me parait trop court
J'ai perdu trop de plumes parmi les vautours
Combien de fois la vie m'a fait la cour
Et combien de fois elle m'a joué des tours
J'ai crié crié tout mon amour
Je l'ai entendu que mon écho en retour
Comme un boomerang comme ta voix me manque
Tu me console quand tu chantes
Ooh sing again !

[Refrain]
Girl you know I care
So if you ever seem to lose your way, don't have no fear
Hold my hand
I'll be there girl, you know I care girl
Cause this love that we share
I will stay within ah de right direction, don't have no fear
Hold my hand
I'll be there girl, you know I care girl
'Cause I care

(Sean Paul)
All my love, all my heart
Well this is what you getting girl from the start
On the run, on the job
Me never yet keep a beat make it fall apart
Sweet is love but love is hard
Sometime you got to work pon it right round the clock
Never let it flop, never let it stop
Give thanks for what we got
Me tell you this

[Refrain]
Girl you know I care
So if you ever seem to lose your way, don't have no fear
Hold my hand
I'll be there girl, you know I care girl
Cause this love that we share
I will stay within ah de right direction, don't have no fear
Hold my hand
I'll be there girl, you know I care girl
'Cause I care

(Zaho)
Tu as touché la cible
Et je connais bien la suite
Pas moyen de fuir ce n'est pas qu'un feu de paille
J'ai tellement peur du vide
Je veux foncer mais j'hésite
Et mon coeur bat de plus en plus vite
Et j'aimerais tellement pouvoir te dire
Que loin de toi c'est trop dur petit à petit je me fane
Viens déposer tes ailes autour
Pour m'enmener m'enmener loin de tout ouhh ouhhh

[Refrain]
Girl you know I care
So if you ever seem to lose your way, don't have no fear
Hold my hand
I'll be there girl, you know I care girl
Cause this love that we share
I will stay within ah de right direction, don't have no fear
Hold my hand
I'll be there girl, you know I care girl
'Cause I care

L'une de mes chansons favorites de Supertramp... Il n'y a rien sur Youtube qui ressemble à un live de Supertramp, alors ce sera la version de R. Hodgson en solo !

Cette chanson, comme pas mal d'autres, m'a forgée... bien plus qu'il n'y paraît... Un incontournable, pour moi.

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
You show me there's a silent place that I can call my own
Is it mine? Oh, Lord is it mine?

You know I get so weary from the battles in this life
and as many times it seems that you're the only hope in sight
Is it mine? Oh, Lord is it mine?

When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
there's nothing to win, and there's no need to fight

I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land
but it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand
Is it mine? Oh, Lord is it mine?

When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
You don't have to win, and there's no need to fight

If only I could find a way
to feel your sweetness through the day
The love that shines around me could be mine,
So give us an answer, won't you,
We know what we have to do,
There must be a thousand voices trying to get through.

J'ai attendu longtemps ce moment... Je l'avais raté lors de sa dernière tournée, et là : pas d'hésitation. J'ai pris les billets en Mars et nous étions déjà placés assez loin... Mais qu'importe, finalement. Parce que Roger Hodgson, ca s'écoute, plus que ça se regarde. Ca se vit, c'est la magie du passé qui prend vie là, devant nos yeux...

Supertramp a bercé toute mon adolescence. J'ai tant pleuré sur leurs chansons, tant vibré à la poésie de leurs mots... tant ressenti d'émotions grâce à ce groupe qui me "parlait" ! . Et Roger Hodgson est Supertramp à lui tout seul. Il en est les mots, la musique, l'essence.

Et même si hier, la batterie manquait un peu, même si les Choeurs étaient absents, il y avait la voix, l'histoire de Supertramp. Roger a gardé la graine intacte au fond de lui. Il a cette sincérité, cette gentillesse et un tel Amour pour son public que l'on sent la magie fonctionner... Et c'était une soirée magique !! Merci Roger...

Voilà le genre de morceau qui me fait tripper !! il y a tout... D'ailleurs, aucune image ; même pas de clip officiel. Juste des live. Or, cette fois, la version live est trop courte, il manque toute la partie musicale qui fait proprement décoller !

Alors voici la version "album" de 6 mn rien que pour vos oreilles !

Décidément, plus j'écoute ce groupe et plus il me colle à la peau !

I think you know
Because it's old news
The people you love
Are hard to find
So I think if I
Were in your shoes
I would be kind

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now

I want to stay
Another season
See summer upon
This sorry land
So don't dust off your gun
Without a reason
You understand

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now

Who says the river can't leave its waters?
Who says you walk in a line?
Who says the city can't change its borders?
Who says you're mine?

I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a record you're tired of
I guess we're just older now
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now
