Vidéo : Elysian Fields – Before The Crashing Waves

S’il y a un album parfait pour les dimanches mornes de l’automne c’est bien le douzième disque de Jennifer Charles, d’Oren Bloedow, de Matthieu Lopez (Matt Low) et d’Olivier Perez (Garciaphone) qui forment Elysian Fields. Et que dit le tonnerre ? Are you with me, love is risky. Ces Champs Élysées sont recouverts d’un tapis rouge épais et moelleux. Ces lieux frappés par la foudre « sont tout au bout de la terre. C’est là que la plus douce vie est offerte aux humains » raconte Homère. Before The Crashing Waves provoque un bonheur simple et intense par sa simplicité, La voix de miel de Jennifer Charles transforme les sanglots longs des violons de l’automne en un été indien flamboyant. Une sensation de plénitude nous envahit, ces vagues sont une bénédiction.

Elysian Fields sera en concert à Châtîllon (La Chapelle) le vendredi 25 octobre et à Quimper (Le Novonmax) le samedi 26 octobre. What The Thunder Said d’Elysian Fields est disponible chez Ojet Records.

Elysian Fields – Before The Crashing Waves

Seashell child combing the beach
Before the crashing waves
All the world just out of reach
Before the crashing waves

Were they mocking me babe
Were they mocking me

Soon enough I took my fill
Before the crashing waves
Dancing madly lying still
Before the crashing waves

Were they mocking me babe
Were they mocking me
Looking for asylum

Mother confessor lover wife
Before the crashing waves
The same ones that took your life
Before the crashing waves

Were they mocking me babe
Were they mocking me
Looking for asylum

Did you know I called your name
Before the crashing waves
And you answered, it’s all the same
Before the crashing waves

Were they mocking me babe
Were they mocking me
Looking for asylum

Now it’s all philosophy
Before the crashing waves
So far, impossibly
Before the crashing waves

Are they mocking me babe
Are they mocking me
Are they mocking me
Should’ve been a siren

Should’ve been a siren
