Notre époque résonne
Telle une porte close
Et nous comment fait-on
Sur quelle idée
L'on se repose?

La première chose
Que Kiko demande
Le premier être que l'on regarde
Les premiers moments
Que l'on garde
Mais quel est
Ce vent qui me glace le dos
Qui me regarde?

Kiko demande ensuite
Si l'on peut revenir
Si le temps peut sourire
S'il faut s'unir
S'il fallait recommencer
S'il fallait oublier
Je pense bien que je serais pas
Le dernier
À regarder d'abord
À suivre, à être encore
Quand il faut devenir
Ou s'il faut encore moins
Car pour un qui s'en va
Mais quel est donc
Ce vent qui passe
Qui me regarde
Et qui me glace?

Once I pass'd through
A populous city imprinting
My brain for future use
With its shows, architecture
Customs, traditions
Yes, now of all that city
I remember only a woman
I casually met there
Who detain'd me for love of me
Day by day and night by night
We were together
All else has long
Been forgotten by me
I remember I say only
That woman who passionately
Clung to me
Again we wander, we love
We separate again

Again we wander, we love
We separate again
Again she holds me
By the hand, I must not go
I see her close beside me with
Silent lips sad and tremulous

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
