Jeff Buckley.

[absente]

Un soir, il y a quelques années de cela, je vivais un intense chagrin d'amour... Je pleurais nuit et jour, je vivais dans une tour d'ivoire où nul ne pouvait s'approcher tellement j'étais loin et distante... Je réclamais à corps et à cris des chimères...
Donc une nuit, au fond de mon lit, vraiment très mal, le casque vissé aux oreilles, j'écoutais une radio, RTL, et soudain j'entends cette mélodie qui l'instant d'un fugace moment, me fit oublier l'auteur de mes tourments et réaliser que malgré tout la vie était présente, que le temps passait et que tout se terminait, que des pages se tournaient.... L'espace d'un instant je suis passée de l'hiver à l'été... Et ce fut un moment magique et merveilleux...
Je fus attristée d'apprendre par la suite que l'excellent chanteur est mort comme décrit dans l'une de ses chansons reprise d'une très grande chanteuse américaine, Nina Simone, il me semble....

Voici cette très belle musique: " Hallelujah" interprétée par Feu Jeff Buckley qu'il repose en paix...



Et une version Live, peu avant sa mort:

[absente]

J'étais fan et j'en pinçais beaucoup pour lui
J'ai eu la chance de le voir en concert.
Cette chanson est une reprise de Leonard Cohen.

[absente]

Effectivement, il a reprise cette chanson à Leonard Cohen.
Tu l'as vu où en concert? moi je ne l'ai découvert que bien après sa mort...
Je le trouve magnifique... Un éternel jeune premier...

[absente]

oui au Bataclan, je me rappelle plus l'année, il avait une voix très puissante, assez impressionnante, je trouve que ça ne se perçoit pas vraiment dans ses albums.
J'ai mon billet autographié et des photos du concert quelque part

[absente]

Malgré tout on perçoit un timbre profond... Son album, je l'ai écouté en boucle des heures et des heures... Certes, il vrai qu'en concert ça donne autre chose...
Tu en as eu de la chance, garde les bien au chaud...

Merci Besbes, je vais remettre de la musique de lui sous peu...

Très belle nuit!

Voici un extrait d'un de ses concerts, où il chante:
dream brother
so real
last goodbye

[absente]

• Dream Brother:

There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes blew goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips of another
Dream Brother, with your tears scattered round the world.

Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...

I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground
and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...

• So real:

Love, let me sleep tonight on you couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress

Oh... that was so real

We walked around til the moon got full like a plate
The wind blew an invocation and I fell asleep at the gate
And I never stepped on the cracks cause I thought Id hurt my mother
And I couldnt awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under
Pulled me under

Oh... that was so real

I love you, but Im afraid to love you
I love you, but Im afraid to love you

• Last Goodbye:

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know.

Well, this is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please kiss me,
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"?
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
"Maybe, you didn't know him at all,
you didn't know him at all,
oh, you didn't know"?

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
Burning clues into this heart of mine.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
Offer signs that it's over, it's over.

[absente]

Encore une très belle chanson de Jeff Buckley "Grace"

There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Though it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time,
Of time

Wait in the fire...

And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow,oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind

Wait in the fire...

And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
But I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

Wait in the fire...

[absente]

Mojo Pin en version live:

I'm lying in my bed, the blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole

If only you'd come back to me
If you laid at my side
Wouldn't need no mojo pin
To keep me satisfied

Don't wanna weep for you, don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so

Precious, precious silver and gold
And pearls in oyster's flesh
Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
Ageless, ageless and i'm there in your arms

Don't wanna weep for you, don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty i love you so

The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
Well it's you i've waited my life to see
It's you i've searched so hard for

Don't wanna weep for you, i don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty i love you so
