J'écris, je lis, j'efface puis je rature.
Je n'ai pas assez de mots pour tout vous dire.
J'avance, recule car je ne suis pas sûr.
Je n'ai pas assez de souffle, mon cœur sature.
Oui ! Je suis un peu timide
Je rêve de quitter mon nid et sauter dans le vide...

Pour être libre, être libre
Devenir plus qu'un homme anonyme, anonyme.
Pour être libre, libre
Couper le fil, ne plus me retenir, trouver l'équi-libre.

Je veux lâcher prise mais j'ai le vertige.
Comme une poupée de cire, je me fige.
Je les vois faire, ça a l'air si facile.
Courage éphémère, moi, je me défile !
Oui ! Je fais les choses à demi.
Je vis dans le déni, j'attends qu'on me délivre...

Pour être libre, être libre
Devenir plus qu'un homme anonyme, anonyme.
Pour être libre, libre
Couper le fil, ne plus me retenir, trouver l'équi-libre.

Il n'y a plus de chemin à suivre, mais si jamais j'y arrive
Je pourrai peut-être enfin revivre...

Et être libre, et être libre.
Couper le fil, ne plus me retenir, trouver l'équi-libre.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
