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”
1) Cantique
toi la Vie
Plus d'un oiseau siffle ton image ;
A toi la Vie
L'homme a donn corps en ton sillage...
File ta laine travers ma peau
Chasse ma haine et mon ennui !
Souffle la honte aux poils des roseaux
Pour qu'elle devienne rose... aprs la nuit !
De toi la Vie
Plus d'un poisson me frtille le charme,
Pour toi la Vie,
Le chant de la source monte une gamme.
Une mousse lgre orne les naseaux
D'un cheval en sabots d'argent ;
Folle crinire dguise un manteau
O vient se mirer... le soleil levant...
toi la Vie,
Plus d'un goland vole ton me,
Pour toi la Vie,
La mer a su aiguiser ses lames...
Et de Calcutta Nairobi,
Les mercenaires usent leurs voiles,
Comme l'oiseau construit son nid
Une araigne tisse... une toile...
toi la Vie,
Plus d'un oiseau siffle ton image,
A toi la vie,
L'homme a donn corps en ton sillage...
2) Procession.
De lumire en lumire,
Je chante un paradis
Qui me brle les yeux, je vais brouter les cieux
Jusqu' l'infini !
Quelle vie !
Fleur de Paradis (j'en ferai un bouquet)
Elle invite les coeurs ponger les pleurs
Jusqu' l'infini !
De lumire en lumire,
Je chante un paradis
Qui me brle les yeux, je vais brouter les cieux
Jusqu' l'infini !
Quelle vie !
Fleur de Paradis (je deviens bilboquet)
Elle invite les coeurs ponger les pleurs
Jusqu' l'infini !
Je suis FOU !
Fou d'une autre vie
Qui me brle les yeux, je vais brouter les cieux !
JE BOIS L'INFINI !!!
3) Hymne
Quelle vie ! Fleur de Paradis !
Quelle vie ! Fleur de Paradis !
JE SUIS FOU !!!
FOU D'UNE AUTRE VIE !!!
toi la Vie
Plus d'un oiseau siffle ton image ;

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,
