Des fois je mets un peu de poésie sur ce blog. C'est ce qui le sauve de l'ineptie et de la vanité. Allons-y. Ecoutons un peu les poètes.
Elton John ? Ben oui, Elton John ! Et Bernie Taupin. Fameux duo lyrique.
Neil Diamond ? Bien sur. Rick Rubin à la production. Le même que pour Slayer et les Beatie Boys. Si, si, si !.

Lady of the Canyon
Certaines voix, certaines chansons sont comme un baume qui lave les coeurs de l'amertume qu'y met le temps qui passe, et parfois, passe mal.
La voix de Joni Michell en est un, sa chanson en est un. " I'm gonna join in a Rock n' Roll band..." Pour ce soir, la peine s'arrête là.
Woodstock fut un baume pour le XXième siècle tout entier.
I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
Im going on down to yasgurs farm
Im going to join in a rock n roll band
Im going to camp out on the land
Im going to try an get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe its the time of man
I dont know who l am
But you know life is for learning
We are stardust
We are golden
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
By the time we got to woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devils bargain
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

JE COMPRENDS.
Vous savez comment on dit "inenvisageable" en anglais ?
Eh ben, c'est pas très compliqué : "out of question". C'est comme ça et c'est tout.
Pas de quoi en faire un drame. Parce que.....
Et il est "out of question" que je faiblisse la-dessus.J'ai fais longue route, trop longue pour flancher maintenant, et je suis d'accord. D'accord ? D'ACCORD !
D'ACCORD !!!

ENFANT/ HOMME
Il parait que les couchers de soleil sont beaux. Je les évite comme la peste. Je veux juste me retrouver dans le creux de la nuit, abandonné dans son sein inutile et protecteur, sans raisonnement, sur de la mort du soleil. L'angoisse vient avec le point du jour. Je vais dormir. Violence sur violence. Je ne pourrais pas résister à celle du lever, elle m'emporterait avec elle dans le ciel. Dormir. Mourir. Le soleil tombe. Tant mieux, qu'il sombre avec moi. Règne la nuit, et MOI.
OU ALORS
Alternance du jour et de la nuit, de la fatigue et de l'envie, de l'aigre et du sucré, de la veille et du sommeil. L'effort se fait léger, ce n'est PLUS de mon ressort mais c'est bien moi qui tiens debout. C'est cette chanson qui me le dit. Je n'ai plus peur des violons, ils me font pleurer sans difficulté.
Just before our love got lost you said,
"I am as constant as a northern star."
And I said, "Constant in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet.
Oh, I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said,
"Love is touching souls,"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said,
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.

Stay away
Je me suis endormi et j'ai rêvé d'un ange, de millier d'anges. Je vivais, avec eux, avec ces esprits qui s'envolent et fuient dans l'éther glacé et chaud. C'était ma place, ma part des anges. Je n'ai plus vécu autrement depuis. Au réveil parfois je suffoquais et soliloquais. Ca n'a jamais durer très longtemps. Sauf une fois : 25 ans. Mais toujours les anges. C'était une femme qui chantait ? C'est possible.
I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
Im going on down to yasgurs farm
Im going to join in a rock n roll band
Im going to camp out on the land
Im going to try an get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And weve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Im going to take you to
My special place
Its a place that you
Like no one else I know
Might appreciate
I dont go there with anyone--but
Youre a special case
For my special place
For my secret place
People talk to tell you something
Or to take up space
Guess Im only talking
To be talking to
Your pretty face
I dont talk much to anyone--but
Youre a special case
For my special place
My secret place
I was born and raised
In new york city
Im just getting used to colorado--
Oh street bravado
Carry me
Why did you bring me to
A place so wild and pretty?
Are there pigeons in this park--
Muggers after dark--
In these golden trees--
In the secret place?
Im going to take you to
My special place
Its a place no amount of hurt and anger
Can deface
I put things back together there
It all falls right in place--
In my special space
My special place
Once I saw a film
In new york city
That was shot in colorado--
Girl meets desperado
In the trembling mountain trees
Out of all of the girls that you see
In bleachers and cafe windows
Sitting--flirting with someone
Looking to have some fun
Why did you pick me?
For the secret place
I came upon a child of god
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
Im going on down to yasgurs farm

FIRST OF ALL, THEN......
Je vous dirais ce qui se passe après un autre jour mais en premier LIEU il faut ACCEPTER.Voici deux exemples chantés d'acceptation. L'une est solaire ou lunaire, en tout cas lumineux et me rappelle la lumière d'Algérie si bien décrite par Camus où certaines nuits de la semaine dernière, pendant la Lune Rousse. L'autre peut sembler amère mais au fond je ne la ressens pas comme telle. Elle est ironique mais, Burroughs était trop intelligent pour ne pas savoir exactement le sens du " Thanksgiving "américain, et surtout, bien trop bien élevé, comme le décrit Kerouac dans " Sur la route", pour ne pas en tirer les conclusions qui s'imposaient à lui. Mais deja c'est presque anticiper sur "ce qui vient ", car le fait d'ACCEPTER induit OBLIGATOIREMENT deux ou trois choses. Mais chut ! pour le moment et DONC
