(Klimt, The Tree Of Life)
Bright Eyes, il est parfait pour la catégorie Lyrics du Jeudi. Des chansons de lui, on pourrait en prendre chaque semaine, mais on se retient. On avait fait Lua il y a quelques mois, aujourd'hui, on s'attarde sur son plus beau texte, peut être même un des plus beaux textes dans le registre amoureux mélancolique.
Aujourd'hui, c’est le premier jour de ma vie.
T’es le premier visage que j’ai vu.
Je suis né le jour où je t’ai rencontré.
J’étais aveugle avant de te voir.
Je suis heureux de ne pas être mort avant de t’avoir rencontré.
Voilà les 5 phrases qui résument ce que veut dire être amoureux pour Bright Eyes. C'est bien, bien ça doit vouloir dire qu'on peut revivre et renaître plusieurs fois dans une même vie...
A la lecture de ce texte si profondément vrai, on se dit que Conor (de son vrai prénom) devait être sacrément amoureux quand il l'a écrit. Jusqu’au jour où il a dit, lors d’un concert il y a quelques temps :
« Je n’ai jamais été amoureux, mais j’imagine que c’est à peu près ce que les gens doivent ressentir ».
This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”
So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”
So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
