His energy and attitude of lighting up any room he entered are most apparent in this video. His smile really did illuminate the world. If you understand French, you will see instantly how different the lyrics are in this version of the song. Incidentally, I have to confess that I never was a fan of 'les Clodettes', his entourage of dancers.<br /><br />'Cette année-là ...<br />Je chantais pour la première fois,<br />le public ne me connaissait pas<br />Oh.. quelle année , cette année-là.<br />Cette année-là ...<br />le rock'n'roll venait d'ouvrir ses ailes<br />et dans mon coin je chantais 'Belle, Belle, Belle.'<br />Et le public aimait ça.<br />Déjà les Beatles étaient quatre garçons dans le vent,<br />et moi, ma chanson disait marche tout droit.<br />Cette année-là ...<br />quelle joie d'être l'idole des jeunes<br />pour des fans qui cassaient les fauteuils.<br />Plus j'y pense et moins j'oublie.<br />J'ai découvert mon premier, mon dernier amour,<br />le seul, le grand, l'unique et pour toujours le public<br />Cette année-là ...<br />dans le ciel passait une musique,<br />un oiseau qu'on appelait Spoutnik.<br />Oh ..quelle année, cette année-là.<br />C'est là qu'on a dit adieu à Marilyn au cœur d'or,<br />tandis que West Side battait tous les records.<br />Cette année-là les guitares tiraient sur les violons,<br />on croyait qu'une révolution arrivait cette année-là.<br />C'était hier, mais aujourd'hui rien n'a changé.<br />C'est le même métier qui ce soir recommence encore.<br />C'était l'année ,soixante deux ...<br />C'était l'année , soixante deux ...<br />C'était l'année , soixante deux ...<br />C'était l'année ......'<br /><br />'I discovered my first, my last love: the only one, great, unique, and for always, the 'Public' in this year.'<br /><br />It was true of him more even than for most 'stars'. He drove himself to be an icon for the 'young'... and he died before he ever experienced an end to his own youth.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qSzrGI5vCqE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qSzrGI5vCqE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Finally, 'Belles, Belles, Belles'Freyashawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611460017804359336.post-21663726041307128072008-10-27T09:37:00.000-07:002008-10-27T09:45:15.183-07:00'Comme d'Habitude' or 'My Way' by Claude FrancoisHow many 'native' English speaking individuals are familiar with Claude Francois, a French pop singer affectionately known as 'Clo-Clo'? He died tragically from an electrical accident in his bath at a fairly young age 30 years ago and yet he still lives in the hearts of fans from every generation. Physically, he epitomises my own personal ideal in terms of male beauty. 'Androgynous' is a term that has been much-abused, but it definitely would describe some one like Clo-Clo, who was slim, blond and had exquisite features. <br /><br />Oddly enough, one of his songs has become one of the best-known popular songs throughout the world. It is not the original, entitled 'Comme d'Habitude' that is known and sung still internationally, but the English version of the song, entitled 'My Way'.

In fact, the song is very Gallic, about a man who lives with a frigid woman but carries on living 'comme d'Habitude', pretending happiness where there is none... pretending and pretending, 'putting a good face on it' as it were.Freyashawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611460017804359336.post-66668403879125288192008-10-21T12:36:00.000-07:002008-10-21T12:45:55.073-07:00'Some Weird Sin' by Iggy Pop'Lust for Life' is a fabulous album and 'Some Weird Sin' is one of my favourite songs, expressing all the angst of some one who wants to be acceptable but at the same time, feels compelled to be himself/herself.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eeBJSALphFs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eeBJSALphFs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />'Some Weird Sin' by Iggy Pop<br /><br />Well, I never got my license to live.<br />They won't give it up,<br />So I stand at the world's edge:<br /><br />I'm trying to break in,<br />Oh, I know it's not for me,<br />And the sight of it all<br />Makes me sad and ill:<br />That's when I want- Some Weird Sin.<br /><br />Things get too straight,<br />I can't bear it;<br />I feel stuck, stuck on a pin:<br /><br />I'm trying to break in,<br />Oh, I know it's not for me,<br />But the sight of it all<br />Makes me sad and ill.<br />That's when I want- Some Weird Sin<br />That's when I want- Some Weird Sin<br />Just to relax with...<br /><br />Yeah, some dumb, weird sin<br />For a while anyway,<br />With my head on the ledge,<br />That's what you get out on the edge:<br />Some Weird Sin.<br /><br />Things get too straight,<br />I can't bear it;<br />I feel stuck, stuck on a pin:<br /><br />I'm trying to break in,<br />Oh, I know it's not for me,<br />When the sight of it all<br />Makes me sad and ill:<br />That's when I want- Some Weird Sin<br />That's when I want- Some Weird Sin<br />Just to relax with<br /><br />That's some dumb weird sin<br />For a while anyway<br />With my head out on the ledge<br />That's what you get out on the edge<br />Some Weird sin<br /><br />Some weird sin, Some weird sin...<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i--aKHwPPJI&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i--aKHwPPJI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />'Tonight' by Iggy Pop<br /><br />Another favourite in a very different vein...<br /><br />I saw my baby,<br />She was turning blue.<br />Oh, I knew that soon, her<br />Young life was through;<br /><br />And so I got down on my knees<br />Down by her bed,<br />And these are the words<br />To her I said:<br /><br />Everything will be allright, tonight <br />Everything will be allright, tonight<br /><br />No one moves<br />No one talks<br />No one thinks<br />No one walks, tonight...<br /><br />Everyone will be allright, tonight...<br /><br />No one moves<br />No one talks<br />No one thinks<br />No one walks, Tonight, Tonight...<br /><br />I am gonna love her to the end:<br />I will love her 'til I die,<br />I will see her in the sky...Tonight.'Freyashawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611460017804359336.post-29474071737684386412008-02-13T21:43:00.001-08:002008-02-13T22:11:03.359-08:00'I Think I Love You' by the Partridge Family<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bIuKtp3yCTw&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bIuKtp3yCTw&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Well, he was awfully cute and even Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance thinks he is worth a mention... if only for his gorgeous hair.

I ALWAYS loved this song by Ultravox and still do. It is the ultimate kind of positive hymn to realisation of the power of love.<br /><br />'Standing on my own,<br />It didn't mean that much to me;<br />I thought I had it all,<br />I didn't see the mystery:<br />I stood the test of time,<br />I took the step to find<br />Love's great adventure.<br /><br />I spoke a million words,<br />They didn't mean that much to me;<br />They rang around my head<br />Like empty tuneless harmonies.<br />Love's great adventure... oh!<br /><br />Lying side by side<br />It didn't mean that much to me;<br />I started to enjoy<br />The poetry and symphonies.<br />I took it in my stride<br />I hailed the day I tried<br />Love's great adventure.<br /><br />A fool who couldn't see,<br />It didn't mean that much to me;<br />I couldn't understand<br />That's how the game is meant to be:<br />Love's great adventure's mine.<br /><br />Love's great adventure,<br />Love's great adventure,<br />Love's great adventure... oh!<br /><br />Standing on my own<br />It didn't mean that much to me;<br />I thought I had it all<br />I didn't see the mystery:<br />I stood the test of time<br />I took the step to find<br />Love's great adventure's mine!'Freyashawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611460017804359336.post-91978429316636238092007-10-05T12:28:00.000-07:002007-10-05T13:04:53.723-07:00'Wondering' by Good Charlotte<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O0umMyCZOc8"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O0umMyCZOc8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />'Wondering' by Good Charlotte<br /><br />I don't know why it virtually is impossible to find a video of this song that isn't made using some one else's graphics with only the music by Good Charlotte. As I love Final Fantasy, though, and the clip is extremely romantic in many ways, I am posting this version.<br /><br /><br />'If you want me to wait<br />I will wait for you<br />If you tell me to stay<br />I would stay right through<br />If you don't wanna say<br />Anything at all<br />I'm happy wondering<br /><br />Since I was a young man<br />I never was a fun man<br />I never had a plan and no security<br />Then ever since i met you<br />I never could forget you<br />I only wanna get you right here next to me<br /><br />Cause everybody <br />Needs someone that they can trust and<br />You're somebody <br />That I found just in time<br /><br />If you want me to wait<br />I would wait for you<br />If you tell me to stay<br />I would stay right through<br />If you don't wanna say<br />Anything at all<br />I'm happy wondering<br /><br />Now my life is changing<br />It's always rearranging<br />It's always getting stranger than I thought it ever could<br />Ever since I found you<br />I wanna be around you<br />I wanna get down to the point that I need you<br /><br />Cause everybody <br />Needs someone that they can trust and<br />You're somebody <br />That I found just in time<br /><br />If you want me to wait<br />I would wait for you<br />If you tell me to stay<br />I would stay right through<br />If you don't wanna say<br />Anything at all<br />I'm happy wondering<br /><br />Don't tell me<br />The bad news<br />Don't tell me anything at all<br />Just tell me<br />That you need me<br />And stay right here with me<br /><br />If you want me to wait<br />I would wait for you<br />If you tell me to stay<br />I would stay right through<br />If you don't wanna say<br />Anything at all<br />I'm happy wondering...'<br /><br />It is no wonder that this song has been used as the background for hundreds of videos and films. It basically does get right to the point.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Eu2R1FHHCXY"></param><param name="wmode"

/>Hey, hey, hey hey<br />There'll be pay in your pocket tonight<br /><br />My gut is wrenched out, it is crunched up and broken;<br />A life that is led is no more than a token.<br />Who'll strike the flint upon the stone and tell me why?<br />If I yell out at night there's a reply of bruised silence,<br />The screen is no comfort I can't speak my sentence.<br /><br />They blew the lights at heaven's gate and I don't know why.<br /><br />But if I work all day at the blue sky mine<br />(There'll be food on the table tonight)<br />Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine<br />(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)<br />The candy store paupers lie to the share holders,<br />They're crossing their fingers, they pay the truth makers<br />The balance sheet is breaking up the sky<br />So I'm caught at the junction still waiting for medicine,<br />The sweat of my brow keeps on feeding the engine;<br />Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night.<br />And if the blue sky mining company won't come to my rescue,<br />If the sugar refining company won't save me,<br />Who's gonna save me?<br /><br />But if I work all day...<br /><br />And some have sailed from a distant shore:<br />And the company takes what the company wants,<br />And nothing's as precious, as a hole in the ground.<br /><br />Who's gonna save me?<br />I pray that sense and reason brings us in.<br />Who's gonna save me?<br />We've got nothing to fear.<br /><br />In the end the rain comes down,<br />Washes clean, the streets of a blue sky town.Freyashawkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.com0
