D'histoire en histoire en cycles de légendes,
il y en a une dans ma mémoire qui restera parmi les grandes
épopées païennes près du pays du clan des landes,
en pleine terre d'Ulster province de l'Irlande.
L'histoire d'un gamin,
encore jeune fougueux,
à peine 7 ans,
il a déjà le feu dans le bleu de ses yeux.
Les druides lui ont prédit un drôle d'avenir,
un choix à faire, la conséquence de son devenir.
Prendre les armes avant sa majorité,
l deviendrait le plus grands des guerriers que cette terre ait porté.
Mais éphémère serait sa vie,
devenir héros de guerre, mourir,
avoir son nom dans les écrits.
Le gamin n'hésita pas une seule seconde.
Que ça doit être bon d'être le plus grand guerrier du monde.

Doucement viens, rappelle-toi de ce nom.
On l'appelait Curchulain, le chien du forgeron.

Tant de guerres,
tant de misères vécues sur la terre de ses pères,
il n'a jamais prié le Dieu qui honora sa mère
d'un fils unique qui trouva son surnom.
En tuant le chien de Chulain,
lui qui était le forgeron.
Sa vie était faite de défis, de conquêtes.
Chaque soleil levé faisait de lui un nouvel être à abattre,
combattre mais dangereux en fait,
car tel était le fruit de ceux qui voulaient trouver la défaite.
De tout l'Uster, il en était le champion, gardien de l'île verte,
il en est devenu patron.

Maintenant viens, écoute bien ce nom.
On l'appelait Curchulain, le chien du forgeron.

De bataille en batailles, personne ne peut comprendre.
Le chemin de sa destinée était d'entrer dans la légende.
La terre des anciens, des écrits païens,
ce que j'ai pu recueillir de sa vie au fond de mes bouquins.
Voilà cette histoire ne s'achève pas là.
Le cycle de la branche rouge a toujours continué ses pas !
A travers le temps, j'en garderai la foi.
Les récits des dieux, des rois et des tribus de Dana.
Que c'est bon de rêver, de vivre cette culture.
Je t'invite jeune homme à découvrir cette littérature.

Maintenant viens, écoute bien ce nom.
On l'appelait Curchulain, le chien du forgeron.

Curchulain le chien du forgeron.
Et tel était son nom.

    This is an excelent song for me.

    The first part is about a legend, a child of 7 years old, druids ask him to do a choice: to use weapons before to come of age and became the best warrior of the world, but his life would be short. The child didn't hesitate.

    The second part is about his life, i think. His life was full of fights and conquests, he was a champion.

    The third part is the end of the legend, but it won't never forgotten because it's great to dream about it and to live their life, and to discover their culture.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
