Figer le temps avec Matt Berninger

« J’ai écrit One More Second avec Matt Sheehy (Lost Lander, EL VY) dans l’intention que ce soit une sorte de réponse à I Will Always Love You de Dolly Parton, ou un peu l’autre pan de cette conversation. Je voulais juste écrire une de ces chansons d’amour classiques, simples et désespérées qui sonnent bien dans votre voiture. »

The last time we were together, lately, it feels like forever. Et puis. Non. Rien ne dure. Pire, comme l’écrivait Camus dans Les justes, ‘vivre est une torture puisque vivre sépare. » Alors on sèche nos larmes, on sort de cette prison serpentine où l’on s’est lovés et l’on essaye d’avancer.

Serpentine Prison sort le 16 octobre chez Book’s Records et Concord Records avec la participation de Matt Barrick (The Walkmen, Jonathan Fire*Eater), Andrew Bird, Mike Brewer, Hayden Desser, Scott Devendorf (The National), Gail Ann Dorsey (David Bowie, Lenny Kravitz), Booker T. Jones, Teddy Jones, Brent Knopf (EL VY, Menomena), Ben Lanz (The National, Beirut), Walter Martin (The Walkmen, Jonathan Fire*Eater), Sean O’Brien, Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan), Kyle Resnick (The National, Beirut), Matt Sheehy (EL VY, Lost Lander) and Harrison Whitford (Phoebe Bridgers)

Matt Berninger – One More Second

The last time we were together
Lately, it feels like forever
And the way we talked last night
It felt like a different kind of fight
Baby, don’t lie to me, you know that I’ll believe you
Always in love with someone, if it ain’t me, come on
Just give me a little more time
Give me a little bit of warning
Baby, I’m gonna be fine
When I figure out where I’m going
Why can’t you just tell me what you’re doing here ?
Don’t be cruel, if you’re leaving me, just do it right here
‘Cause the way you looked at me this morning
Gave my weak heart warning
Give me one more second to dry my eyes
Give me one more day to realize
Smoke’s in our eyes or in the distance
Either way, we’re gonna miss it
Give me one year to get back on track
Give me one more life to win you back
Smoke’s in our eyes or in the distance
Either way, we’re gonna miss it
When it’s gone
Baby, don’t lie to me, you know that I’ll believe you
Always in love with someone, if it ain’t me, come on
Just give me a little more time
Give me a little bit of warning
Baby, I’m gonna be fine
When I figure out where
Give me one more second to dry my eyes
Give me one more day to realize
Smoke’s in our eyes or in the distance
Either way, we’re gonna miss it
Give me one year to get back on track
Give me one more life to win you back
Smoke’s in our eyes or in the distance
Either way, we’re gonna miss it
When it’s gone
Give me one more second to dry my eyes
Give me one more day to realize
Smoke’s in our eyes or in the distance
Either way, we’re gonna miss it
Give me one year to get back on track
Give me one more life to win you back
Smoke’s in our eyes or in the distance
Either way, we’re gonna miss it
When it’s gone
