Moi, j'avais rêvé longtemps
De ma première guitare, tu sais
J'étais fou, j'avais quinze ans
Je n'osais pas y croire
Mes parents n'étaient pas d'accord
Ils connaissaient par cœur
Mes trois chansons sur deux accords
Moi, j'attendais mon heure

J'étais dingue de Bécaud
Brassens et Aznavour
Je m'endormais sur ma radio
Je faisais des concours
Puis j'ai découvert les groupes anglais
Je guettais à la télé
Leurs gestes que je refaisais
Le soir dans mon grenier

Toi qui m'as donné les plus belles années de ma vie
Mes plus grandes espérances
Mes plus grands regrets aussi
Comme je t'aimais, toi ma musique
Mon premier grand amour
J'essayais bien de te suivre
Pourtant j'étais toujours un pas derrière
Cherchant à te plaire

Soixante-cinq au Golfe Drouot
C'était des nuits sans fin
La musique dans la peau
Et tout pour les copains
Dans une cave de banlieue
Tous les soirs, on répétait
Et si les voisins criaient un peu
On leur pardonnait

Et puis soixante-dix
Les festivals perdus dans la nature
On était des milliers sous les étoiles
Pour quelques couvertures
La foule dansait, tapait des mains
Nous, on s'y croyait déjà
Et Avignon n'était plus qu'un faubourg de l'Olympia

Toi qui m'as donné les plus belles années de ma vie
Mes plus grandes espérances
Mes plus grands regrets aussi
Comme je t'aimais, toi ma musique
Mon premier grand amour
J'essayais bien de te suivre
Pourtant j'étais toujours un pas derrière
Cherchant à te plaire

Dou dou dou dou (dou dou dou dou dou)
Dou dou dou dou (dou dou dou dou dou)
Dou dou dou dou
Dou dou dou dou
Dou dou dou dou (dou dou dou dou dou)
Dou dou dou dou (dou dou dou dou dou)

Soixante-douze, c'était Paris
Le groupe s'est dispersé
Quand j'ai rencontré Marie-Christine
J'étais sur le pavé
Le soir pour se payer un lit
On claquait tous nos cachets
Mais je lui racontais ma vie
Et elle me comprenait

Et elle m'a suivi dans cent maisons
De disques et d'éditions
Où les gens qui m'écoutaient
N'aimaient pas mes chansons
Et quand j'ai vendu ma vieille guitare
C'est elle qui m'a aidé
À comprendre enfin que ça ne marcherait jamais

Toi qui m'as donné les plus belles années de ma vie
Mes plus grandes espérances
Mes plus grands regrets aussi
Comme je t'aimais, toi ma musique
Mon premier grand amour
J'essayais bien de te suivre
Pourtant j'étais toujours un pas derrière
Cherchant à te plaire

Dou dou dou dou (dou dou dou dou dou)
Dou dou dou dou (dou dou dou dou dou)
Dou dou dou dou
Dou dou dou dou
Dou dou dou dou (dou dou dou dou dou)
Dou dou dou dou (dou dou dou dou dou)

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.

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."

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/
