Dimanche en musique : Jeff Buckley, Lover, You Should've Come Over

Ce soir, hommage à Jeff Buckley, chanteur et guitariste américain, mort accidentellement à l'âge de 30 ans, le 29 mai 1997 (il s'est noyé dans le Mississipi).

Voici l'une de mes chansons préférées, extraite du magnifique album Grace, sorti en 1994 et qui restera le seul enregistré en studio. (vidéo You tube pour l'écouter)

Lover, You Should've Come Over

Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so
(you'll never know)

I'm broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no-one...

So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn oh
Will I ever see your sweet return, oh/or, will I ever learn?
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.

Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Maybe I'm just too young to keep good love from going wrong
Oh... lover you should've come over...
'cause it's not too late...
I feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love I'm waiting [I waited] for you
Lover, you should've come over
'cause it's not too late

superbe chanson que je ne connaissais pas, de même pour le chanteur que je vais écouter sur you tube pour le découvrir
merci pour cette découverte

C'est une excellente idée et tu pourras écouter également les belles reprises de ses chansons comme, par exemple, celles de Katie Melua, une artiste que je viens de découvrir et que j'aime
vraiment beaucoup...
