You really got me - The Kinks
The Kinks
ont été un des quatre groupes qui ont fait les 60's.
Les autres ? Beatles, Stones & Animals. Il s'agit ici des anglais.
You really got me inspire pour l'éternité le rock garage.
Ray Davies, chanteur, leader, auteur, compositeur, a été (il l'est toujours) un poète léger et gauchisant. Voici deux textes que j'aime bien, plutôt apolitiques, légers et poétiques. Quoique. La poésie, même légère, est devenue un sport de combat.
Voici deux textes de Raymond, qui prennent toute leur dimension avec la musique... (allez sur Youtube, voir plus bas).
People take pictures of each others
Just in case someone thought they had missed it,
And to proved that it really existed.
Fathers take pictures of the mothers,
And the sisters take pictures of brothers,
Just to show that they love one another.
You can't picture love that you took from me,
When we were young and the world was free.
Pictures of things as they used to be,
Don't show me no more, please.
People take pictures of each other,
Just to prove that they really existed,
Just to prove that they really existed.
People take pictures of each other,
And the moment to last them for ever,
Of the time when they mattered to someone.
People take pictures of the Summer,
Just in case someone thought they had missed it,
Just to proved that it really existed.
People take pictures of each other,
And the moment to last them for ever,
Of the time when they mattered to someone.
Picture of me when I was just three,
Sucking my thumb by the old oak tree.
Oh how I love things as they used to be,
Don't show me no more, please.
Waterloo sunset
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset est aussi le titre d'un film de Ray Davies avec Tim Roth.
