A Change Is Gonna Come (Crussen Bootleg)

Avec son aimable autorisation voici une adaptation d'une chanson de Gérard Delassus (paroles de Marie Delassus) dont je suis tombé amoureux cet été. Je parle de la chanson, pas de Gérard ! Vous pouvez entendre la version originale (et bien d'autre pépites) sur la page SoundCloud de Gérard ici :
https://soundcloud.com/g-rard-delassus/les-gens-qui-passent

Paroles :

Dans les grands ciels très lents
Traînant, gris, bleus et blancs
Entre reflets de Loire
Et secrets des forêts 
Il m'arrive souvent
De voir passer le temps

C'est l'orage qui gronde...
Et l'éclair qui réveille
Une vitre là-bas,
Message sous la treille
Des hommes d'autrefois
Qui dormaient sous ce toit

C'est un chien qui aboie... 
Et très loin, tout là-bas,
Loin dans la nuit des temps,
Répond un chien errant
Qui suivait l'inconnu
Passant dans cette rue.

Une musique au loin...
Les fêtes et le vin,
Vendanges et moissons,
L'amour sur tous les tons
Faisait chanter les gens,
J'entends encore leurs chants.

C'est la cloche qui sonne
Au soleil de l'été,
D'un été oublié.
La foule endimanchée
S'en va se joindre aux ombres
Sous le grand porche sombre.

Et c'est la pluie qui tombe
Et le ciel qui se plombe...
J'entends les eaux qui montent,
Le pays qui s'enfonce,
Les hommes qu'elle tue,
La Loire des grandes crues.

C'est le glas qui s'égrenne...
Tant de joies, tant de peines...
Clameurs, gémissements,
Et rires des enfants...
Ils sont passés par là.
Ils ne reviendront pas

Dans les grands ciels très lents
Traînant, gris, bleus et blancs
Entre reflets de Loire
Et secrets des forêts
Il m'arrive souvent
De voir passer le temps

Refrain :
J'entends des fois
Passer des gens
Passés déjà
Depuis longtemps

Donde siempre

sat down and wrote the some lyrics first for this one. did an acoustic sing and play track then added drums bass and lead.. a special thanks to heart house and the new kindness for commenting on the first draft of this song. 

the reason

March is such a "two-faced" month in the northern latitudes, it can caress with a kiss of sunlit warmth, or slap the face with high winds and freezing temperatures--maybe in the same day!  It is so fickle these "ides of March" which Shakespeare told us to beware of.  The mood and playing of this song came upon me like one of those Ides, riffing on something much more mellow, when I randomly strummed an E major chord, then again with more force, then faster, stronger...I had to capture the moment, but like March weather, you can't be angry all the time, and so the caress of the Cordoba nylon. You might ask what the mellow riffing sounded like I was first practicing on--wait for it:)

Colorful feelings

When the railway runs along the coast, right beside the sea, there are many tunnels. Sometimes they’re so narrow that two tracks must draw near to one another to pass through. That’s how a strange love story begins between them.
This is a song I wrote around the year 2000, one of my last. I think it has a good mood. I’ve remixed and partially rearranged it.
You can still hear the warm tone of the Washburn, along with the old Yamaha’s sounds (including the flute). The sax — reworked by me  — is kindly provided by Dropgun Samples.
Still, as always, everything is very handcrafted.

Below is the English translation of the lyrics.

They converged at the tunnel’s mouth,
suddenly parallel —
twins of the railway.
They looked at each other, studied each other,
just enough
to not quite grasp
how much the one beside you knows of you.
They hesitated, thinking of the road behind:
companions in adventure,
but now unsure why.
And then they stared at the night gaping inside the tunnel:
a magnificent promise
to be traveled on the thread of fantasy.

“Inside this darkness, maybe we will never part,
under this shadow, maybe you’ll finally know me,
after this night, who knows where you’ll fall asleep —
perhaps closer to the sea…”

They parted at the tunnel’s edge,
but a narrow wall concealed a silence
charged with jealousy,
shaped like fear — fear of that strange kind of courtesy,
fear of the light,
fear of the end of the tunnel.
“Parallel track,
mirror born of the railway,
traitorous twin,
lover made of parody.
Don’t tell me that
after this darkness we’ll never part,
that under this shadow you’ll finally touch me,
that after this night, who knows where you’ll take me —
perhaps down by the sea…”

And at the end of that masterpiece of engineering,
only one of them
came rushing out of the tunnel;
on instinct, he turned and saw
that the sea was beside him,
and under the sea, the sky,
and beneath the sky — who knows what lies...

“After this darkness, surely we will never part,
inside this shadow, surely you’ll let go,
after this night, I cannot say where you’ll fall asleep —
perhaps closer to the sea…”

Confluirono all'ingresso della galleria
improvvisamente paralleli 
gemelli della ferrovia.
Si guardarono, si studiarono quel tanto che
non basta a misurare sino in fondo
quello che hai di fianco cosa sa di te.
Indugiarono, pensarono alla strada dietro di sé:
compagni di avventura,
ma ora non capivano perché.
E poi guardarono la notte spalancata nella galleria:
magnifica promessa
da viaggiare sul filo della fantasia

"dentro questo buio forse noi non ci separeremo mai,
sotto questo scuro tu finalmente mi conoscerai,
dopo questa notte poi non so dire dove ti addormenterai,
forse più vicino al mare ..."

Si congedarono sulla bocca della galleria,
ma parete stretta nasconde silenzio
fatto a carica di gelosia,
fatto a forma di paura di quella stranissima cortesia,
paura della luce
paura della fine della galleria.
"Binario parallelo,
specchio generato dalla ferrovia,
gemello traditore,
amante da parodia.
Non dirmi che 
dopo questo buio noi non ci separaremo mai,
che sotto questo scuro tu finalmente mi toccherai,
che dopo questa notte poi chissà dove mi accompagnerai,
forse giù vicino al mare ..."

E alla fine di quel capolavoro di ingegneria,
di loro uno solo
usciva di corsa dalla galleria;
d'istinto si voltò e vide che
c'era il mare di fianco a sé,
e sotto il mare il cielo,
e sotto il cielo chissa cosa c'è ...

"dopo questo buio certo noi non ci separeremo mai,
dentro questo scuro tu sicuramente ti abbandonerai,
dopo questa notte poi non so dire dove ti addormenterai,
forse più vicino al mare ..."

Down by the sea [Viaggio di nozze] *

i’m already 
goin’ down
to the end of the story now
wind is blowing
to the end of the story now

come away   come away

time is bending 
drifting down
spin the hourglass all around
pulverize it
spin the hourglass all around

i’m comin’ after 
i’m comin’
i’m unembodied
i’m free

i’m already 
leaving town
train is rounding the mountain now
got my ticket
train is rounding the mountain now

come away   come away

Thank you so very much P-O Gustafson for making this beautiful video for this track! :-) https://youtu.be/F0zz9TVsrHA

Yesterday a Young Female Swedish Police officer was killed in the line of duty. She and her colleague was trying to stop a car with a drunk driver. The road was icy and foggy. Both the drunk driver's car and the police car went off the road and into a lake.
The young police officer died, her colleague was badly injured. The drunk driver was too drunk to be interrogated about what happened, it's not far away to believe that he would have caused another accident if the police officers had not prevented it...with the cost of a life.

My thoughts are with the relatives of the deceased officer, with her injured collegue and with the colleagues and other people around these two who supports everyone involved.
A lot of love to you <3
