Style : Rock Album : Disraeli Gears Année : 1967 Pays : UK
Notes : Trop d’égos dans la Cream, le trio se défini comme la crème des musiciens (Eric Clapton a la guitare) … a un moment cela se bouscule dans leur tetes et ils explosent !
It’s getting near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise
I’ll be with you darling soon,
I’ll be with you when the stars start falling
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love
I’m with you my love,
The light’s shining through on you
Yes, I’m with you my love,
It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you darling now,
I’ll stay with you till my seas are dried up
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love
I’m with you my love,
The light’s shining through on you.
Yes, I’m with you my love,
It’s the morning and just we two.
I’ll stay with you darling now,
I’ll stay with you till my seas are dried up
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love
Style : Psy Album : Surrealistic Pillow Année : 1967 Pays : USA
Notes : Tiens il reste encore un peu d’exta. Planant oui mais aussi dérangeant, le groupe nous pousse vers les contrées inexplorées. Le timbre de voix de sa chanteuse de l’époque, Grace Slick, se veut presque agressive, un ange ténébreux qui nous pousse vers le bord de la falaise. « White Rabbit », un autre morceaux du groupe, sera aussi le theme du film ¨Platoon. Il represente tellement bien l’absurdité décrite dans le film.
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you
Need somebody to love, wouldn’t you
Love somebody to love, you better
Find somebody to love
When the garden flowers baby are dead, yes and
Your mind, your mind is so full of red
Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you
Need somebody to love, wouldn’t you
Love somebody to love, you better
Find somebody to love
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby, I’m afraid you don’t know where it is
Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you
Need somebody to love, wouldn’t you
Love somebody to love, you better
Find somebody to love
Tears are running down and down and down your breast
And your friends, baby they treat you like a guest
Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you
Need somebody to love, wouldn’t you
Love somebody to love, you better
Find somebody to love

Notes : Ca y est, Timothy Leary a vendu tout son stock de pilules. Psychedelic est même dans le titre de l’album. Ca sens bon le patchouli et les pattes d’eph mais qu’est ce que c’est bon. Et non, la vidéo ne déconne pas, ça a bien été filmé comme ça.
Oh yeah!
Ahh!
You’re gonna wake up one morning as the sun greets the dawn.
You’re gonna wake up one morning as the sun greets the dawn.
You’re gonna look around in your mind, girl, you’re gonna find that
I’m gone.
You didn’t realize,
You didn’t realize,
You didn’t realize,
You didn’t realize,
You didn’t realize.
Oh! you’re gonna miss me, baby.
Oh! you’re gonna miss me, baby.
Oh! you’re gonna miss me, child, yeah, yeah.
I gave you the warning,
But you never heeded it.
How can you say you miss my lovin,
When you never needed it?
Yeah! Yeah! Ow!
You’re gonna wake up wonderin’,
Find yourself all alone,
But what’s gonna stop me, baby?
I’m not comin’ home.
I’m not comin’ home.
I’m not comin’ home.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah!

Notes : Zappa est le père des « mothers of invention ». Là on est dans l’expérimental, le bizarre, le … Freak. En 1966, ils décollent et Zappa est au commande. Même les prénoms de ses enfants semblent issue d’un autre univers : Moon, Dweezil, Ahmet et Diva.
Well I’m about to get UPSET
From watchin’ my TV
Been checkin’ out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean they say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it’s gonna change, my friends
Is anybody’s guess
So I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ’em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
Wednesday I watched the riot…
I seen the cops out on the street
Watched ’em throwin’ rocks and stuff
And chokin’ in the heat
Listened to reports
About the whisky passin’ ’round
Seen the smoke & fire
And the market burnin’ down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn
And I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ’em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
Well you can cool it,
You can heat it…
‘Cause, baby, I don’t need it…
Take your TV tube and eat it
‘N all that phony stuff on sports
‘N all THOSE unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box
Until my head began to hurt
From checkin’ out the way
The newsmen say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so
And further they assert
That any show they’ll interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They’ll be the first to tell
Because the boys they got downtown
Are workin’ hard and doin’ swell,
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street,
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can’t be beat
And if another woman driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They’ll send some joker with a brownie
And you’ll see it all complete
So I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ’em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
Hey you know something people
I’m not black
But there’s a whole lots a times
I wish I could say I’m not white
Well, I seen the fires burnin’
And the local people turnin’
On the merchants and the shops
Who used to sell their brooms and mops
And every other household item
Watched the mob just turn and bite ’em
And they say it served ’em right
Because a few of them are white,
And it’s the same across the nation
Black & white discrimination
They’re yellin’ « You can’t understand me! »
And all the other crap they hand me
In the papers and TV
‘N all that mass stupidity
That seems to grow more every day
Each time you hear some nitwit say
He wants to go and do you in
Because the color of your skin
Just don’t appeal to him
(No matter if it’s black or white)
Because he’s out for blood tonight
You know we gotta sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
But I bet there won’t be many left
To see it really end
‘Cause the fire in the street
Ain’t like the fire in my heart
And in the eyes of all these people
Don’t you know that this could start
On any street in any town
In any state if any clown
Decides that now’s the time to fight
For some ideal he thinks is right
And if a million more agree
There ain’t no great society
As it applies to you and me
Our country isn’t free
And the law refuses to see
If all that you can ever be
Is just a lousy janitor
Unless your uncle owns a store
You know that five in every four
WON’T amount TO nothin’ more
So watch the rats go across the floor
And make up songs about being poor
Blow you harmonica son!
Style : Rock ‘n’ roll Album : Aftermath Année : 1966 Pays : UK
Notes : On retrouve « Paint it Black » comme générique de la série télé « Tour of duty » ou « l’Enfer du devoir » en Francais. Ce qui posera bien sur un problème lors de l’édition en vidéo sur le territoire de molière ou le morceau disparaîtra.
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev’ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door I must have it painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin’ up, when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin’ sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I want to see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I want to see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I want to see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah! Hmm, hmm, hmm
I’m waiting for my man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, one, two, five
Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive
I’m waiting for my man
Hey, white boy, what you doin’ uptown?
Hey, white boy, you chasin’ our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it’s the furthest from my mind
I’m just lookin’ for a dear, dear friend of mine
I’m waiting for my man
Here he comes, he’s all dressed in black
Beat up shoes and a big straw hat
He’s never early, he’s always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I’m waiting for my man, ah work it now
Up to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs
Everybody body’s pinned you, but nobody cares
He’s got the works, gives you sweet taste
Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste
I’m waiting for my man
Style : Rock Album : From Nowhere Année : 1966 Pays : UK
Notes : Parfois le poids d’une chanson devient presque écrasant pour un groupe, c’est un peu le cas de Wild Thing. Repris par Hendrix, chanté dans les stades de baseball, utilisé dans des films ou des publicités, le morceaux est gravé dans le marbre de l’histoire mais il a aussi fini par prendre le pas sur le groupe. N’hésité pas non plus a jeter un oeil sur le film « Wild Thing » ou Sexcrimes en Francaise avec Denise Richards et Neve Campbell.
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
I love you
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
You move me
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
Cette guerre va profondément marquer les états-unis. Cette guerre n’a aucun précédent aux Etats-Unis, elle est plus idéologique que politique. Pour essayer de mieux la comprendre :
(L’article de wikiepdia fixe maintenant la date de début de la guerre du viêt nam à 1955 pour permettre aux américains envoyé en mission sur le terrain, en tant que « conseiller » du statue de vétéran)
Mais ce qu’il faut aussi voir c’est que beaucoup « d’appelés » viennent de classe moyenne. Ceux la même qui écoutent du rock ou du blues. Pour certain ce seront aussi des musiciens qui comme Jimi Hendrix, qui a été un de ces « appelés », prendront position contre. Cette guerre sera une usine qui déchaînera des réactions en chaîne dans lesquelles ont retrouvera le mouvement hippies, le psychédélique, en autre. Cette période fera naître chez beaucoup des vocations, des luttes qui se retrouveront dans la musique et bien évidemment dans le Rock.
A cette époque la musique est un moyens très accessible de faire passer des messages, de se rebeller. Le contexte social bouillonnant, la lutte inter-générationnelle, le chaos social verra naître des musiques, des chansons viscérales car elles sont la réactions à des situations violentes.

I’d give you everything and more and that’s for sure

I’d bring you diamond rings and things right to your door

To thrill you with delight, I’d bring you diamonds bright
Double takes I will excite, to make you dream of me at night

For your love, for your love
I would give the stars above
For your love, for your love
I would give you all I could

I’d give the moon if it were mine to give
(For your love)
I’d give the stars and the sun for I live
