Marie Mai, Différents

Marie Mai, Différents, version Papa Jean-René Bibeau. Ce n’est pas la première chanson de « parents » de Marie Mai, mais celle là me fait plaisir, parce que c’est Jean-René qui a fait un vidéo avec sa fille… profitez-en!

Elle a des ailes, un cœur prudent

Elle aura le monde au bon moment

Elle marchera seule en attendant.

C’est le dernier au bout du rang

De jour en jour un autre pas devant

Il sera premier quand viendra le temps.


Ils sont toi et moi.

Les ailes déployées dans le vent

Et tous aussi différents.

Ils sont toi et moi

A la quête des rêves les plus grands

Et tous aussi importants.

Ils sont toi et moi.


Toute une vie à raconter

Elle écrit sur des bouts de papiers

J’en tairais son histoire au monde entier.


Ils sont toi et moi.

Les ailes déployées dans le vent

Et tous aussi différents.

Ils sont toi et moi

À la quête des rêves les plus grands

Et tous aussi importants.

Ils sont toi et moi.


(Ohohohoh)


Ils sont toi et moi

Les ailes déployées dans le vent

Et tous aussi différents.

Ils sont toi et moi

À la quête des rêves les plus grands

Et tous aussi importants.

Ils sont toi et moi.


Toi et moi

Toi et moi …

Enya – May It Be


May it be an evening star

Shines down upon you

May it be when darkness falls

Your heart will be true

You walk a lonely road

Oh! How far you are from home


Mornie utulie (Darkness has come)

Believe and you will find your way

Mornie alantie (Darkness has fallen)

A promise lives within you now


May it be the shadow’s call

Will fly away

May it be you journey on

To light the day

When the night is overcome

You may rise to find the sun


Mornie utulie (Darkness has come)

Believe and you will find your way


Mornie alantie (Darkness has fallen)

A promise lives within you now


A promise lives within you now

Sia – Chandelier


[Verse 1]

Party girls don’t get hurt

Can’t feel anything, when will I learn

I push it down, push it down

I’m the one « for a good time call »

Phone’s blowin’ up, ringin’ my doorbell

I feel the love, feel the love


[Pre-Chorus]

1,2,3 1,2,3 drink

1,2,3 1,2,3 drink

1,2,3 1,2,3 drink

Throw em back, till I lose count


[Chorus]

I’m gonna swing from the chandelier,

From the chandelier

I’m gonna live like tomorrow doesn’t exist

Like it doesn’t exist

I’m gonna fly like a bird through the night,

Feel my tears as they dry

I’m gonna swing from the chandelier,

From the chandelier


[Post-Chorus]

And I’m holding on for dear life,

Won’t look down won’t open my eyes

Keep my glass full until morning light,

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight

Help me, I’m holding on for dear life,

Won’t look down won’t open my eyes

Keep my glass full until morning light,

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight, on for tonight


[Verse 2]

Sun is up, I’m a mess

Gotta get out now, gotta run from this

Here comes the shame, here comes the shame


[Pre-Chorus]

1,2,3 1,2,3 drink

1,2,3 1,2,3 drink

1,2,3 1,2,3 drink

Throw em back till I lose count


[Chorus]

I’m gonna swing from the chandelier,

From the chandelier

I’m gonna live like tomorrow doesn’t exist

Like it doesn’t exist

I’m gonna fly like a bird through the night,

Feel my tears as they dry

I’m gonna swing from the chandelier,

From the chandelier


[Post-Chorus]

And I’m holding on for dear life,

Won’t look down won’t open my eyes

Keep my glass full until morning light,

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight

Help me, I’m holding on for dear life,

Won’t look down won’t open my eyes

Keep my glass full until morning light,

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight, on for tonight


[Outro]

On for tonight

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight

Oh I’m just holding on for tonight

On for tonight

On for tonight

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight

‘Cause I’m just holding on for tonight

Oh I’m just holding on for tonight

On for tonight

On for tonight

A Great Big World, Christina Aguilera – Say Something

Christina Aguilera s’est invitée pour un remake de cette chanson écrite par les deux artistes du groupe. Elle voulait ajouter sa propre couleur féminine à ce cri du coeur d’un amoureux qui doit décider de quitter l’être aimé. La complainte se transforme en replacement pour ceux qui perdent aussi quelqu’un dans un moment douloureux – la mort de quelqu’un…

Say something, I’m giving up on you

I’ll be the one if you want me to

Anywhere I would’ve followed you

Say something, I’m giving up on you


And I… I’m feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

And I… will stumble and fall

I’m still learning to love

Just starting to crawl


Say something, I’m giving up on you

I’m sorry that I couldn’t get to you

Anywhere I would’ve followed you

Say something, I’m giving up on you


And I… will swallow my pride

You’re the one that I love

And I’m saying goodbye


Say something, I’m giving up on you

And I’m sorry that I couldn’t get to you

And anywhere I would’ve followed you (Oh-Ooh)

Say something, I’m giving up on you


Say something, I’m giving up on you

Say something…

John Legend – All of Me

une chanson que John écrit à sa fiancée Chrissy Teigen pour lui signifier la raison pour laquelle il la demande en marriage. d’ailleurs nous voyons une partie de leur marriage à la fin du vidéo. Ces deux là se complètent, s’accompagnent et sont assez différents pour aussi avoir des moments où ils composent avec débats et frustrations… un couple parfait dans son imperfection.

[Verse 1:]

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawing me in, and you kicking me out

You’ve got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down

What’s going on in that beautiful mind

I’m on your magical mystery ride

And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright


[Pre-Chorus:]

My head’s under water

But I’m breathing fine

You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind


[Chorus:]

‘Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I’ll give my all to you

You’re my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I’m winning

‘Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh oh


[Verse 2:]

How many times do I have to tell you

Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too

The world is beating you down, I’m around through every mood

You’re my downfall, you’re my muse

My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you


[Pre-Chorus:]

My head’s under water

But I’m breathing fine

You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind


[Chorus:]

‘Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I’ll give my all to you

You’re my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I’m winning

‘Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh oh


[Bridge:]

Give me all of you

Cards on the table, we’re both showing hearts

Risking it all, though it’s hard


[Chorus:]

‘Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I’ll give my all to you

You’re my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I’m winning

‘Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you


I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh oh

Ellie Goulding – Burn

We, we don’t have to worry ’bout nothing

‘Cause we got the fire, and we’re burning one hell of a something

They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space

Light it up, like we’re the stars of the human race, human race


When the light started out they don’t know what they heard

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world

We’ll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky

‘Cause we got the fire, fire, fire

Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire


And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn


We don’t wanna leave, no. We just wanna be right now (right), r-r-right now

And what we see is everybody’s on the floor acting crazy, getting loco ’til the lights out

Music’s on, I’m waking up, we fight the fire, then we burn it up

And it’s over now, we got the love, there’s no sleeping now, no sleeping now, no sleeping


When the light started out they don’t know what they heard

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world

We’ll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky

‘Cause we got the fire, fire, fire

Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire


And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn


When the light started out they don’t know what they heard

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world


We gonna let it burn burn burn burn (burn burn)

Burn burn burn burn (burn burn)


We can light it up, up, up

So they can’t put it out, out, out

We can light it up, up, up

So they can’t put it out, out, out

We can light it up, up, up

So they can’t put it out, out, out

We can light it up, up, up

So they can’t put it out, out, out


When the light started out they don’t know what they heard

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world

We’ll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky

‘Cause we got the fire, fire, fire

Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire


And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn


When the light started out they don’t know what they heard

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world

We’ll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky

‘Cause we got the fire, fire, fire

Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire


And we gonna let it burn

The Bangles – Eternal Flame

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Is this burning an eternal flame


I believe it’s meant to be, darlin’

I watch you when you are sleeping

You belong with me

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Or is this burning an eternal flame


Say my name

Sun shines through the rain

A whole life so lonely

And then come and ease the pain

I don’t want to lose this feeling, oh


Say my name

Sun shines through the rain

A whole life so lonely

And then come and ease the pain

I don’t want to lose this feeling, oh


Close your eyes, give me your hand

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Or is this burning an eternal flame


Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming

Is this burning an eternal flame


Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming, ah

An eternal flame


Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’

Do you feel my heart beating

Do you understand

Do you feel the same

Am I only dreaming, ah

Is this burning an eternal flame


Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’

Bruce Hornsby & the Range – The Way It Is

Ce géant de la musique du sud nous emporte dans sa jeunesse où le racisme et les droits civils sont débattus à coups de poings dans les cours d’école et où la rumeur d’une liberté à conquérir pour les noirs se fait sentir surtout dans la musique. Bruce avait été éduqué à la libérale, donc croyait en l’égalité de tous…

Standing in line marking time

Waiting for the welfare dime

‘Cause they can’t buy a job

The man in the silk suit hurries by

As he catches the poor ladies’ eyes

Just for fun he says, « Get a job »


That’s just the way it is

Some things will never change

That’s just the way it is

Ah but don’t you believe them


Said, hey little boy you can’t go where the others go

‘Cause you don’t look like they do

Said, hey old man how can you stand

To think that way, did you really think about it

Before you made the rules?


He said, « Son, that’s just the way it is

Some things will never change

That’s just the way it is

Ah but don’t you believe them »


That’s just the way it is

That’s just the way it is


Well they passed a law in ’64

To give those who ain’t got a little more

But it only goes so far

Because the law don’t change another’s mind

When all it sees at the hiring time

Is the line on the color bar, no, no, no


That’s just the way it is

Some things will never change

That’s just the way it is

That’s just the way it is, it is, it is, it it

Passenger – Let Her Go

Le classique des chansons de rupture où le chanteur se rend compte de ce qu’il a perdu, au point où il veut que les gens puissent avoir une chanson à accrocher lorsqu’ils viennent de se séparer.

Well you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go


Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low

Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go


Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you’ll make a dream last

But dreams come slow and they go so fast


You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you’ll understand why

Everything you touch surely dies


But you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go


Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low

Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home

Only know you love her when you let her go


Staring at the ceiling in the dark

Same old empty feeling in your heart

‘Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast


Well you see her when you fall asleep

But never to touch and never to keep

‘Cause you loved her too much

And you dived too deep


Well you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go


Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low

Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home

Only know you love her when you let her go


And you let her go

And you let her go

Well you let her go


‘Cause you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go


Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low

Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home

Only know you love her when you let her go


‘Cause you only need the light when it’s burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go


Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low

Only hate the road when you’re missin’ home

Only know you love her when you let her go


And you let her go

Stevie Nicks – Talk to Me

Probablement la chanson qui demanda le plus d’énergie à Stevie Nicks, qui lui pris une éternité à écrire parce que trop émotive. Parce que c’est difficile de mettre les mots sur une situation lorsqu’on a besoin de parler et que personne ne nous écoute…

I can see

We’re thinkin’ ’bout the same things

Yes, I see

Your expression when the phone rings

We both know

There’s something happening here


There’s no sense

In dancing ’round the subject

A wound gets worse

When it’s treated with neglect

Well, don’t turn now

There’s nothing here to fear


You can talk to me

Talk to me

You can talk to me

You can set your secrets free, baby


Dusty words

Lying under carpets

Seldom heard

Well, must you keep your secrets

Locked inside

Hidden deep from view


Do I seem all that hard

Is it all that tough

Well, I’ve searched

Through all my cards

Well, isn’t that enough

You can hide your hurt

But there’s something you can do


You can talk to me

You can talk to me

When you’re down now

You can talk to me

T-t-talk to me


Though we lay face to face

And cheek to cheek

Our voices stray

From common ground where they could meet

The walls run high

To veil a swelling tear

(Tear, tear, tear)
