Donovan - Mellow yellow

mai 10, 2014 Temps de lecture: 11 minutes

Mellow yellow

Un gros hit sixties sans complexité. Pour la descente C/B/Bb, jouer le C en barré comme un B une case plus bas rend l'enchaînement bien plus aisé.

Elton John - Cold as Christmas

Cold as Christmas

Extrait d'un de mon album préféré d'Elton, un titre un peu méconnu mais si classe. Vocalement, cvous l'aurez noté, je suis à la peine, n'est pas Elton qui veut.

Elton John - Cold as Christmas

We still sit at separate tables and we sleep at different times and the warm wind in the palm trees hasn't helped to change our minds

---

It was thelure of the tropics that Ithought might heal the scars Of alove burned out bysilence in amarriage minus heart

---

And I call the kids on the telephone Say there's something wrong out here It's July but it's cold asChristmas In the middle of the year The temperature's up to ninety five But there's awinter look in your mother's eyes And to melt the tears there's aheat wave here So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year.

---

I dreamed of love in a betterclimate And for what it's really worth I putfaith in the star we followed To this Caribbean surf

---

But there's an icy fringe on everything And I cannot find the lines Where's thebeauty in the beast we made Why the frost in the summertime.

---

And I call the kids on the telephone Say there's something wrong out here It's July but it's cold asChristmas In the middle of the year The temperature's up to ninety five But there's awinter look in your mother's eyes And to melt the tears there's aheat wave here So how come it's cold as Christmas in the middle of the year.

Sister golden hair

Ma préférée d'America que j'avais adapté en français il y a une dizaine d'année sous le titre Petite blonde au coeur d'acier. Il en reste des versions sur le net ou rien ne s'oublie.

Hugh Grant - Way Back Into Love

avril 6, 2014 Temps de lecture: 12 minutes

Way Back Into Love

Extrait de la BO du film Music and lyrics (Le comeback en français), un titre signé par Adam Schlesinger des Fountains of Wayne. Une version avec Haley Bennett et Hugh Grant, avec un son moins demo est aussi dans la BO, mais j'ai un faible pour cette version.

Way Back Into Love - Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore

I've been living with a shadow overhead, I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed, I've been lonely for so long, Trapped in the past, I justcan't seem to move on

I've been hiding all myhopes and dreams away, Just in case I ever need 'em again someday, I've been setting aside time, To clear a little space in thecorners of my mind

All I wanna do is find a way back intolove. I can't make itthrough without away back intolove. Ooo hooow

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine, I've been searching but I just don't see the signs, I know that it's out there, There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to she'd some light, Not somebody just to get me through the night,I could use some direction, And I'm open to your suggestions.

All I wanna do is find a way back intolove. I can't make itthrough without away back intolove.  And if I open my heart again, I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real Or if anybodyfeels the way I feel I need inspiration Not just anothernegotiation

All I wanna do is find a way back intolove. I can't make itthrough without away back intolove.  And if I open my heart to you, I'm hoping you'll show me what to do, And if you help me to start again, You know that I'll be there for you in the end

The fountains of Wayne - Roadsong

Roadsong

Très peu connus en France, ils ont écrit quelques titres superbes, dont ce Roadsong, également interprété par America, auquel ma version ne rend pas justice. 

The fountains of Wayne - Roadsong

We're still in Wisconsin as far as I know Today was Green Bay and tomorrow Chicago Wish I was lying, but there isn't much to report My phone is dying, so I've got to keep it short I just wanted to say hey I've been writing you a road song It's a cliché, buthey That doesn't make it so wrong And in between the stops at the Cracker Barrel Andforty movies with Will Ferrell Ineed some way tooccupy mytime So I'm writing you a road song I surehope you don't mind

---

I bought you a light blue T-shirt last night From some band I couldn't stand But theirlogo's alright Some kid threw a bottle on stage He had an arm like a pro I know it's getting late I guess Ishould let you go But did I happen tosay hey? I've been writing you a road song Don't run away, 'causehey I promise it won't betoo long I know it's not what you call necessary AndI know that I'm no Steve Perry But even if you roll your eyes and groan I'm still writing you a road song That you can call yourown

Wings - Mull of Kyntire

avril 6, 2014 Temps de lecture: 8 minutes

Mull of Kyntire

Mega tube de McCartney (et Denny Laine), en Europe en tout cas. Peu d'accords mais un rythme inhabituel pour moi.

the Wings - Mull of Kyntire

Mull of kintyre Oh mist rolling in from thesea, My desire isalways to be here Ohmull of kintyre

Far have I traveled and much have I seen Dark distant mountains with valleys of green. Past painted deserts the sunsets onfire As hecarries me home to the mull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre Oh mist rolling in from thesea, My desire isalways to be here Ohmull of kintyre  Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen Carry me back to thedays I knew then. Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir Of thelife and the time of themull of kintyre.

Mull of kintyre Oh mist rolling in from the sea, My desire isalways to be here Oh mull of kintyre 

Smiles in the sunshine And tears in the rain Still take me back to where my memories remain Flickering embers growing higher andhigher As they carry me back to the mull of kintyre

Mull of kintyre Oh mist rolling in from thesea, My desire isalways to be here Ohmull of kintyre
