Il a monté son groupe il y a deux ans à peine
Un chômeur en déroute, le fils de la pharmacienne
Un bassiste de Toulouse, un batteur looké Harlem
Un mélange de jazz and blues version new-wave africaine

Il a vendu sa mob et le cuir de son blouson
Sacrifié à la mode une musique sans concession
Depuis le temps qu'il rame sur le sable au fond d'une cave
Je peux vous dire, Messieurs, Dames qu'un de ces jours ça va faire grave

Quand Jimmy dit "what'd I say"
"I love you baby"
C'est comme qui dirait
Toute la province qui chante en anglais
Quand Jimmy dit "what'd I say"
"Oh baby come on"
C'est comme qui dirait
Toute la province qui marche en Weston

Il chante dans les campagnes, dans les bals du samedi
Des rock 'n' roll banane, des reggae jalousie
Voyage en minibus, hôtel de troisième zone
Il a tout et même plus pour finir Rolling Stone

J'aime sa petite gueule d'amour, je le suis dans sa galère
Et je le suivrai toujours, lui je ne peux pas m'en défaire
J'ai caressé son jean, j'ai dormi sur sa guitare
Chaque fois que je l'imagine ça me fait bizarre bizarre

Quand Jimmy dit "what'd I say"
"I love you baby"
C'est comme qui dirait
Toute la province qui chante en anglais
Quand Jimmy dit "what'd I say"
"Oh baby come on"
C'est comme qui dirait
Toute la province qui marche en Weston

Il a vendu sa mob et le cuir de son blouson
Sacrifié à la mode une musique sans concession
Je savais depuis longtemps qu'il quitterait Montbéliard
Et si Paris me le prend c'est que c'est vraiment une star

Quand Jimmy dit "what'd I say"
"I love you baby"
C'est comme qui dirait
Toute la province qui chante en anglais
Quand Jimmy dit "what'd I say"
"Oh baby come on"
C'est comme qui dirait
Toute la province qui marche en Weston

Quand Jimmy dit "what'd I say"
"I love you baby"
C'est comme qui dirait
Toute la province qui chante en anglais
Quand Jimmy dit "what'd I say"
"Oh baby come on"

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
