Que Fait la Vie

Vanessa Paradis

Mais que fait la vie?
Que fait la vie?
Que fait la vie? Nuit de nos bébés
Qui dois-je annoncer

Faire le pressing ou repasser
J'hésite
Je m'étais déjà repliée
Des pompes ou des apnées
J'hésite
Un mille bornes, plutôt crever

Mais que fait la vie?
Que fait la vie?
Que fait la nuit De nos dossiers
Qui dois-je dénoncer

J'aurais voulu que tu me vois
Le long des alluvions
Des hallus que nous avions
Affrontant dragons
Simbad et Aragon
J'aurais voulu que tu me crois
En proie à l'Oregon

Mais que fait la vie?
Que fait la vie?
Que fait la nuit de nos allées
De nos lauriers jonchés

Donner des ordres au jardinier
J'évite
Trop d'infos à recouper
Trop de chiffres à défricher
J'évite
Et de halos à décrocher

J'aurais voulu que tu me vois
Le long des alluvions
Des hallus que nous avions
Affrontant dragons
Simbad et Aragon
J'aurais voulu que tu me crois
En proie à l'Oregon

Faire le pressing ou repasser
J'hésite
Je m'étais déjà repliée
Des pompes ou des apnées
J'hésite
Un mille bornes, plutôt crever

J'aurais voulu que tu me vois
Le long des alluvions
Des hallus que nous avions
Affrontant dragons
Simbad et Aragon
J'aurais voulu que tu me crois
En proie à l'Oregon
Mais que fait la vie?
Mais que fait la vie?
Que fait la vie?

Que fait la vie?
Que fait la vie?
Que fait la vie?

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,

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/

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
