Paroles & musiques

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.

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

Il y a de la musique qu'on écoute différemment des autres... D'où ce blog. Mercury Rev en fait partie. Cette chanson s'écoute avant tout... Se lit éventuellement après... Quant aux images, les nôtres propres suffisent à elles-mêmes, me semble-t-il.

Ain't it amazing when the seasons begin, to change,
Someone behind the scenes just seems to pull some strings,
I've struggled with an old angel all night long,
An I thought it might be nice if we just talked till dawn

I never never gave you...enough
I could've given you...my love

They say that mary magdelene, had it real bad
She took her baby and she headed, off to france
New situations don't present themselves, at first
If I was her I don't know where or to who I'd've turned

I never left you with...too much
I could've given you...my love

I hear of people living deep inside of, the earth
They got their own sun and some claim they were here first
I've struggled with an old angel all night long
I thought it might be nice if you stayed here till dawn

I know I left you...alone too much
But I know I need you here...my love
I never thanked you...enough
I could've given you...my love

Finalement, comme toujours, les paroles sont à la hauteur du reste... Elle va tourner, celle-là...

Un peu de chanson Française, pour changer ?? Et voilà Ridan, une voix qui me plaît, des paroles à la fois poétiques et l'élan de la musique qui amène à se laisser porter par les paroles et imaginer...

A écouter !!

(*)

Quand j'étais gosse
Je rêvais de tout
De pouvoir voir de près la lune
De gambader un peu partout
De voir ce qui se cache derrière les dunes
J'ai même rêvé d'être agriculteur
De vivre là haut entre ces deux fleurs
Les yeux béants restés rivés
Sur les couleurs d'un arc en ciel
J'avais la bouche en forme de cœur
J'embrasse une vie au gout de miel
C'était un monde imaginaire
Je croyais même aux bonshommes verts
Et aux petits lutins

chorus :
Un matin, un lutin
M'a dit tout est possible
Que tous les rêves du monde
Te seront accessibles
C'était la voix d'un sage
Qui ne veut que ton bien
écoute son message
Et passe à ton voisin
Et passe a ton voisin

J'ai fait mon sac, mon balluchon
J'ai pris mes feutres et mes crayons
A chaque problème sa solution
Je n'avais qu'une seule ambition
Celle de chanter la vie des autres
J'ai fais ce choix d'être des vôtres
Et de panser les plaies des Anges je n'attends plus ce bel apôtre
Et si le destin choisit le bien
Je ferai ce que je pense et qui me plaît
En faisant vivre ce doux espoir
Quand d'autres exploitent le désespoir
Qui plane sur l'être humain

chorus

De tous les rêves que j'ai construits
Que reste t-il au fond de moi?

Ces vielles photos, ces lourds émois
Que j'ai classé par utopie
Si tu entends aussi cette voix
C'est qu'on est tous un peu comme toi
Le bel enfant s'est endormi
Dans le train-train de la petite vie
La belle Alice nous a menti
Sur les merveilles de son pays
A mes idées, je reste fidèle
Car après tout la vie est belle
Et on verra demain

chorus (x 2)

(*) Merci à lyricsv5 pour une fois... ;)

For all these years
I've been rushing and running away
I have seen the cities
The bars and the beaches are full
To keep away from you
I know I'll meet you
One day, for a lifetime
I'm scared
One thousand years I could live on your smile
I'm scared
And run away forever

For all that time I've been crazy
There is no escape
Come back to the city
Come back in the hotel and wait
The city waits forever

Etant d'août, cette chanson me parle parce que je me revois gamine avec mes anniversaires bien souvent en Normandie, où je retrouve ce que décrit ici Bénabar... Pas mes trente ans, mais bien avant !!

A cinq dans la cuisine
Face à l'évier face à la mer
Week-end en Bretagne
C'est mon anniversaire
Où sont les assiettes ? Où sont les couverts ?
Elles sentent pas un peu bizarre les praires ?

Encore deux bourriches d'huîtres à ouvrir
Ce qui nous fait soixante-douze bonnes raisons
D'avoir des points d'suture
Les filles sont dans le salon
Parce qu'écailleur c'est masculin
Où sont les féministes
Quand il s'agit d's'ouvrir les mains ?

Bon anniversaire
Petit trentenaire

Et le temps passe d'hier en demain
Ca me tragique ça me cruelle
Mais j'y peux rien
Même les pompiers au regard si franc
Sur un calendrier n'ont rien d'rassurant

Voilà c'est fait j'les ai soufflées
Ces putains d'bougies
J'suis pas amer
J'ai juste les nerfs, j'ai pas dormi
Comme vous avez tous annexé
Les jolies chambres d'amis
J'ai somnolé deux heures
Façon trappeur sur le tapis

C'est parti pour la balade sur la plage
Le sable dans les chaussures
Ca me gêne et ça m'démange
J'ai mis quatre pulls pourtant j'ai froid en plus il bruine
Et j'ai mal au ventre c'est officiel
Les praires elles étaient pas cleans

Bon anniversaire
Petit trentenaire

On entame l'éternel foot tout bidon
Avec les poteaux de but en blousons
On va discuter l'score
En crachant nos poumons
Et jurer d's'arrêter
De fumer pour de bon

J'ai besoin d'être seul
Je marche face à l'océan
Pour faire le point
Au contact des éléments
Mais tout c'que j'en conclus
J'dois pas être un poète
C'est qu'ça doit être chiant
Très chiant d'être une mouette

Bon anniversaire
Petit trentenaire

Il était un foie
Deux reins
Trois fois rien
Qui prenait sa tête dans ses mains
Minuscule
Terrien
Ou pas grand chose

Bon anniversaire.

Parfait avec mon humeur tristoune de ce soir...

(by Nick Cave)  (ben tiens donc !! )

It's up in the morning 
And on the downs 
Little white clouds 
Like gambolling lambs 
And I am Breathless over you 
And the red-breasted robin 
Beats his wings 
His throat it trembles 
When he sings 
For he is helpless before you 
The happy hooded bluebells bow 
And bend their heads all a-down 
Heavied by the early morning dew 
At the whispering stream 
At the bubbling brook 
The fishes leap up to take a look 
For they are breathless over you 
Still your hands 
And still your heart 
For still your face 
Comes shining through 
And all 
The morning glows anew 
Still your mind 
Still your soul 
For still 
The fare of love is true 
And I am breathless without you 
The wind circles among the trees 
And it bangs about the new-made leaves 
For it is breathless without you 
The fox chases the rabbit round 
The rabbit hides beneath the ground 
For he is defenceless without you 
The sky of daytime dies away 
And all the earthly things 
They stop to play 
For we are all breathless without you 
I listen to my juddering bones 
The blood in my veins 
And the wind in my lungs 
And I am breathless without you 
Still your hands 
And still your heart 
For still your face 
Comes shining through 
And all 
The morning glows anew 
Still your soul 
Still your mind 
Still, the fire of love is true 
And I am breathless without you

... Celle-là je la veux à mon enterrement !...

On continue dans le larmoyant ?? Allez, soyons fous !!

He broke your heart
He took your soul
You're hurt inside
'cause there's a hole
You need some time
To be alone
Then you will find
What you've always known

I'm the one who really loves you baby
I've been knocking at your door

As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there

I've seen you cry
Into the night
I feel your pain
Can I make it right ?
I realize there's no end inside

Yet still I wait
For you to see the light

I'm the one who really loves you baby
I can't take it anymore

As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there

You are the only one I've ever known
That makes me feel this way
Girl you are my own
I wanna be with you until we're old

You've got the love you need right in front of you
Please come home

As long as I'm living, I'll be waiting
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be there
Whenever you call me, I'll be waiting
Whenever you need me, I'll be there

... Tant que je suis dedans...

Like beautiful dawns, all made up and bright
Radiant people, in splintering light
All moving at the speed of life
Reflecting in each others' eyes
But you're moving so fast
Through this beautiful scene
You don't see me
You don't see me

Oh truly we are, a fortunate few
Who turn on your axis, revolve around you
All spinning outwards from your sun
Passing your reflection on
In your hurry to grasp
Everything you see
You don't see me
You don't see me
You don't see me
No, you don't see me

Such a beautiful view
I guess you've seen it all
But you
You see nothing at all
Such a beautiful view
Shining so bright

Shining so bright
So bright

All moving at the speed of life
Reflecting in each others' eyes
But you're moving with such irresistible speed
You don't see me
You don't see me
You don't see me
No, you don't see me
No, you don't see me
Oh oh... Oooo, ooo...

[Mode Retour dans ma Bulle]

Haven't you heard?
I'm stuck on a verse
I'm stuck on a boy who feels me with joy
I knew I was wrong to
jump straight on into this picture so pretty
But he is so pretty to me

And he doesn't know just how far I would go
Just to kiss him
He doesn't know how I pine

So I make whirlpools
And watch him sparkle
And we'll make love make magic

And haven't you heard?
I've fallen head-first
And he loves me so
We're two in a row
Just look in his eyes
They're blue as the skies
are picture so pretty
but he is so pretty to me

So I make whirlpools
And watch him sparkle
And we'll make love make magic

But I couldn't tell you
Just tell that it takes you
'Cause words don't make
what I make with him

Haven't you heard?
I'm stuck on a face
I'm stuck on a boy who fills me with joy
I knew I was wrong
to jump straight on into this picture so pretty
but he is so pretty to me

Give you my lovin seven days a week
I'll be your honey if you'll be sweet
I know I'm the only one for you
I know that you think this is not true

Man says it's rainin, rainin outside
I'll be out there in a little while
Cause you see, rain reminds me of you
And everything has turned to you

See you in places, I'm followin you
You'll be upstairs, and I'll be there to
Everywhere you go I will follow
I know it won't be the same tomorrow

People give me warnings, "Stay away from you
They say you'll hurt me, I don't think that's true
Discomfort arouses when I speak of you
As if you been sayin somethin bad about me

When I see you I wanna kiss you
But I know that ain't right so I'd ask if I can hold you
Oh babe, I need you so bad
Oh babe, I only wanna make you glad
