Bjork : Post
Voici l'un de mes grands coups de coeur de l'été : le retour
de l'Islandaise délirante, j'ai nommé Björk ! Ceux qui connaissent
son 1er album solo intitulé "Debut" savent déjà à quoi s'en tenir.
Les autres n'ont qu'à imaginer une mignonne jeune fille à la voix
cristalline et sensuelle (et déchirante parfois aussi) accompagnée
d'une musique résultant d'un mélange entre industriel et classique
avec parfois de la harpe, de la cornemuse ou bien au contraire une
ambiance de boite ! Bref, on aime ou on aime pas mais moi j'adore.
Si vous trouviez le 1er album "un peu bizarre" alors accrochez
vous car celui-ci va encore plus loin. Certains titres comme 'Army
of Me' ou 'Enjoy' sont résolument orientés vers l'industriel comme
le prouve le clip de 'Army of me'. Et d'un autre coté, 'The modern
things' fait penser à une chanson de Sinatra (si si !!!!). On peut
également citer 'You've been flirting again' avec ses violons ou
bien 'Isobel' avec ses rythmes eeeexotiques... Il y en a pour tous
les goûts et toutes les chansons sont sublimes, enrichies par une
voix si unique qu'elle ne cesse de nous surprendre ! Alors si vous
aimez ce qui n'est pas "courant", avec un peu de tout, un mélange
savoureux et une voix angélique n'hésitez-pas !
Si vous faites très vite vous pourrez même trouver une version
limitée avec une couverture carton et un poster en 20x30 de cette
charmante Islandaise. En prime voici toutes les paroles de l'album
qui ont été patiemment retapées par notre ami Senser/Typhoon.
1) ARMY OF ME
-------------
stand up
you've got to manage
I won't sympathize
anymore
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me
you're alright
there's nothing wrong
self-sufficience please !
and get to work
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me
you're on your own now
we won't save you
your rescue-squad
is too exhausted
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me
2) HYPER BALLAD
---------------
we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountains
every morning I walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like :
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever I find lying around
it's become a habit
a way
to start the day
I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
it's real early morning
no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
I listen to the sound they make
on their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks
when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open ?
I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
3) THE MODERN THiNGS
-----------------
all the modern things
like cars and such
have always existed
they've just been waiting in a mountain
for the right moment
listening to the irritating noises
of dinosaurs and people
dabbling outside
all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting
to come out
and multiply
and take over
it's their turn now...
4) iT'S OH SO QUiET
----------------
it's, oh, so quiet
it's, oh, so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...
you fall in love
zing boom
the sky up above
zing boom
is caving in
wow bam
you've never been so nuts about a guy
you wanna laugh you wanna cry
you cross your heart and hope to die
'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot
you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love
it's, oh, so quiet
it's, oh, so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...
you ring the bell
bim bam
you shout and you yell
hi ho ho
you broke the spell
gee, this is a swell you almost have a fit
this guy is "gorge" and I got hit
there's no mistake this is it
'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot
you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love
the sky caves in
the devil cuts loose
you blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
when you've fallen in love
ssshhhhh...
5) ENJOY
-----
I wish : I want to stay here
I wish : this be enough
I wish : I only love you
I wish : simplicity
look at the speed out there
it magnetizes me to it
and I have no fear
I'm only into this to
enjoy
I wish : I'd only look
and didn't have to touch
I wish : I'd only smell this
and didn't have to taste
how can I ignore ?
this is sex without touching
I'm going to explore
I'm only into this to
enjoy
6) YOU'VE BEEN FLiRTiNG AGAiN
--------------------------
all that she said was true
all that she said was true
give her some time
give her some space
all that she said was true
all that she meant was good
all that she meant was good
give her some time
give her some space
all that she meant was good
how you reacted was right
how you reacted was right
give her some time
give her some space
how you reacted was right
7) iSOBEL
------
in a forest pitch-dark
glowed the tiniest spark
it burst into flame
like me
like me
my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself
in a heart full of dust
lives a creature called lust
it surprises and scares
like me
like me
my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself
when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse
nana na nana
nana na nana
...
in her tower of steel
nature forges a deal
to raise wonderful hell
like me
like me
my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself
when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse
nana na nana
nana na nana
nana na nana
nana na nana
...
8) POSSiBLY MAYBE
--------------
your flirt finds me out
teases the crack in me
smittens me with hope
possibly maybe probably love
as much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouln't mind perhaps
spending little time with you
sometimes
sometimes
possibly maybe probably love
uncertainly excites me
baby
who knows what's going to happen ?
lottery or car crash
or you'll join a cult
possibly maybe probably love
mon petit vulcan
you're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
admiring the lava
I keep calm
possibly maybe probably love
electric shocks ?
I love them !
with you dozen a day
but after a while I wonder
where's that love you promised me ?
possibly maybe probably love
how can you offer me love like that ?
my heart's burned
how can you offer me love like that ?
I'm exhausted
leave me alone
possibly maybe probably love
since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I'll suck my tongue
as a remembrance of you...
9) I MiSS YOU
----------
I miss you
but I haven't met you yet
so special
but it hasn't happened yet
you are gorgeous
but I haven't met you yet
I remember
but it hasn't happened yet
and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
I will meet you
I was peaking
but it hasn't happened yet
I haven't been given
my best souvenir
I miss you
but I haven't met you yet
I know your habits
but wouldn't recognize you yet
and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
I will meet you
I'm so impatient
I can't stand the wait
when will I get my cuddle ?
who are you ?
I know by now that you'll arrive
by the time I stop waiting
I miss you
10) COVER ME
--------
while I crawl into the unknown
cover me
I'm going hunting for mysteries
cover me
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists
this is really dangerous
cover me
but worth all the effort
cover me
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists
11) HEADPHONES
----------
genius to fall asleep to your tape last night
so warm
sounds go through the muscles
these abstract wordless movements
they start off cells that haven't been touched before
THESE CELLS ARE ViRGiNS
waking up slowly
my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep
nothing will be the same
I'm fast asleep
I like this resonance
it elevates me
I don't recognize myself
this is very interesting
my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep
I'm fast asleep now
I'm fast asleep
my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep
