Parbleu! Cela faisait longtemps que je n'entendais plus cette chanson... et il faut dire que l'ai "retrouvée" en écoutant la radio - j'avais tout de suite reconnu la voix mélodique de Freddie Mercury, mais pas celle de Bowie... ben, voilà le vidéo, bien inquiétant pour certains côtés, mais aussi touchant - tout comme les paroles...
Under pressure Queen, David Bowie
Um boom ba bay Um boom ba bay Um Um boom ba bay bay
Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you no man ask for Under pressure That burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets
Um ba ba bay Um ba ba bay Dee day duh Ee day duh
It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming get me out! Pray tomorrow takes me higher Pressure on people People on streets
Day day day da da dup bup bup Okay
Chippin' around kick my brains round the floor These are the days It never rains but it pours Ee do bay bup Ee do bay ba bup Ee do bup Bay bup People on streets Dee da dee da day People on streets Dee da dee da dee da dee da
It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Screaming let me out! Pray tomorrow takes me high high higher
Turned away from it all Like the blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love But it's so slashed and torn Why why why?
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love give love give love? Give love give love give love give love give love give love? Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care For the people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our way Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves Under Pressure Under Pressure Pressure
Une chanson au texte qui donne à penser, et à la mélodie à laquelle on s'attache vite... merci à Bernard de m'y avoir fait penser! ;)
Cats in the cradle,
Ugly Kid Joe My child arrived just the other day; Came to the world in the usually way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay. He learned to walk while I was away. He was talkin' 'fore I knew it. And as he grew he said, "I'm gonna be like you, Dad. You know I'm gonna be like you."
Chorus : And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man on the moon. "When you comin' home ?" "Son, I don't know when. We'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then."
Well, my son turned ten just the other day. He said , "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play. Could you teach me to throw ?" I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay." And he walked away and he smiled and he said, "You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him."
Chorus
Well, he came from college just the other day, So much like a man I just had to say, "I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while ?" He shook his head and he said with a smile, "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys. See you later. Can I have them please ?"
Chorus : And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man on the moon. "When you comin home, Son ?" "I don't know when. We'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then."
I've long since retired, my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day. "I'd like to see you, if you dont mind." He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad. It's been sure nice talkin' to you."
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, He'd grown up just like me. My boy was just like me. (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ahlalà, je suis désolée - une sorte de nostalgie... non, en effet c'est plus une envie de rappeler des moments du passé, m'a prise, et il n'y a rien à faire - je vais vous soumettre encore une petite liste de chansons qui, aujourd'hui, semblent vraiment d'une autre époque... quand il y a juste dix ans de cela!
Voici cette chanson souriante des REM... qui donne la pêche et l’envie de danser...!
Shiny happy people REM
Shiny happy people laughing Meet me in the crowd People people Throw your love around Love me love me Take it into town Happy happy Put it in the ground Where the flowers grow Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people laughing
Everyone around love them, love them Put it in your hands Take it take it There's no time to cry Happy happy Put it in your heart Where tomorrow shines Gold and silver shine
Shiny happy people holding hands Shiny happy people laughing
Luka, Suzanne Vega My name is Luka I live on the second floor I live upstairs from you Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight Just don't ask me what it was Just don't ask me what it was Just don't ask me what it was
I think it's because I'm clumsy I try not to talk too loud Maybe it's because I'm crazy I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry And after that you don't ask why You just don't argue anymore You just don't argue anymore You just don't argue anymore
Yes I think I'm okay I walked into the door again Well, if you ask that's what I'll say And it's not your business anyway I guess I'd like to be alone With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am Just don't ask me how I am Just don't ask me how I am
Une chanson qui me replonge dans mes quatorze ans – jeans, t-shirt trop grand et chaussures de sport - une jeune fille timide qui jouait au foot comme un garçon… et qui écoutait, en se promenant dans la nature, les Depeche Mode, sans vraiment comprendre les mots en anglais…
Enjoy the silence Depeche Mode Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can’t you understand Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm
Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable
All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm
Petite précisation pour répondre à un gentil commentaire de l'encore plus gentille Bool, concernantlestests de culture générale!
Pour je ne sais quelle obscure raison (maybe une interférance dans le code source), si vous voulez refaire un des tests, il est nécessaire que vous ouvriez l'article en cliquant sur son titre et de faire le test à partir de là - ne restez donc pas sur la page de le catégorie "test"... parce que vous risquez ne pas voir affichés vos resultats!
