Lauryn Hill * I remember


One of the most beautiful songs on earth. Dedicated to Love

I remember
When you looked into my eyes
You saw right through me
And, I could not hide
I was exposed
Just like a child
All of my heart
You hold in your hands
I'm yours to command
I, I feel so humble
With you in my life
I remember when I looked into your eyes
I saw, a reflection of myself
And, I could not lie
Out of control
Too weak to deny
All of my soul is naked before you
But what can I do
There is nothing I can do
I, I feel so beautiful
With you in my life...

Take the Box


J'aurai quand même versé une larme pour la mort d'Amy Winehouse, que j'ai écouté et écouté pendant une période sombre de ma vie. Cette chanteuse et auteur-compositrice avait en elle une certaine auto-destruction et un manque d'attachement à la vie, mais en même temps tellement de charisme et de talent que sa voix et ses paroles me donnent toujours des frissons... Une tragédie de se laisser partir à 27 ans, mais il n'y a que les légendes qui meurent si jeune. Repose en paix Amy.
(Ci-dessous les paroles de mon morceau préféré: Take the Box.)

*

I shed a tear for the death of Amy Winehouse, who I listened to again and again during a dark period of my life. This singer and songwriter had some self-destruction and lack of attachment to life, but at the same time so much charisma and talent that her voice and lyrics still give me shivers ... A tragedy to let herself go away at age 27, but there are only legends who die so young. Rest in peace Amy.
(Below the lyrics of my favorite song: Take the Box.)

---------------------------------------------------------------
Your neighbours were screaming
I don't have a key for downstairs, 

So I punched all the buzzers hoping you wouldn't be there
So now my head's hurting
You say I always get my own way
But you were in the shower when I got there, 

I'd have wanted to stay, but I got nothing to say

Cos you were so beautiful before today

But then I heard what you got to say...man that was ugly

The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas

Put it in the box, put it in the box
Frank's in there and I don't care
Put it in the box, put it in the box
Just take it
Take the box

I came home this evening and nothing felt like how it should be
I feel like writing you a letter but that is not me...you know me
Feel so f*cking angry; don't wanna be reminded of you
But when I left my sh*t in your kitchen, 

I said goodbye to your bedroom, it smelled of you

Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense

I just don't know you
But you made me cry, where's my kiss goodbye?
I think I love you

The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas

Put it in the box, put it in the box
Frank's in there and I don't care
Put it in the box, put it in the box
Now take it
Take the box...

Who's afraid of Detroit?


Un magnifique vidéo clip sur la ville de Detroit, Michigan par Claude VonStroke, DJ et producteur de techno minimale originaire de cette ville. Il passe à NYC demain pour un mini-festival gratuit à South Street Seaport, Pier17, c'est pour cela que je pense à cette vidéo maintenant. Il est à la tête des labels Dirtybird et Mothership, basés à San Francisco. Alors, Qui a peur de Detroit?

"Open your hand, take a glass, don't be scared, I'm right here. Even though, you don't roll, trust me girl, you wanna be high for this." High for This

The Morning



"From the morning to the evening
Complaints from the tenants
Got the walls kicking like they six months pregnant
Drinking Alize with our cereal for breakfast
Girls calling cabs at dawn quarter to seven
Sky’s getting cold, we flying from the north
Rocking with our city like a sold out show
House full of hoes that specialize into hoe-in
Make that money rain as they taking off they clothes
Order plane tickets, Cali is the mission
Visit every month like I’m split life living
Let the world listen if our haters caught slipping
Then my ni**as stay tight
Got my back like Pippen, fast life gripping
Yeah we still tipping
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Face try to mimic, get girls timid
but behind closed doors they got poles so rigid

All that money, the money is their motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work

Push it to the limit, push it through the pain
I push it for the pleasure like a virgin to the game
A virgin to that money, a virgin to the fame
So this my only chance so when I’m over only pray
That I flow from the bottom, closer to the top
The higher that I climb, the harder Imma drop
These pu**y ass ni**as trying to hold on to their credits
So I tell em use a debit watch they image start to lessen
I wanna em like discretion, why these niggas testing
Always fu**ing testing, why these niggas testing
Shit that I got em on, straight bar hopping to the music of the ambiance
Get shit poppin, zombies of the night
Ni**as ain’t talking if they hyping to the crew, get it in like pockets
Downtown loving, when the moon coming
Only place to find base heads and high women

All that money, the money is their motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work

Better slow down, she’ll feel it in the morning
Ain’t the kind of girl you’ll be seeing in the morning
Too damn raw ain’t no ni**a worth her holding
Ain’t no ni**a that she holding man her love is too damn foreign
Look at all that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work"

Les rêves partent en fumée



ATK - Les rêves partent en fumée


"Et au coin de mon oeil une larme qui formera des flaques, 
Qui formeront des fleuves,
Qui fermeront l'accès à tous ces espoirs inhumés,
Est-ce si inhumain de rêver ?
Voir son feu réanimé,

Puis s'éteindre et partir en fumée.
Les rêves partent en fumée,
Certains fuient leurs soucis en fumant,
D'autres n'en voient pas l'interêt avec la vie veulent en finir.
Grand obstacle au bonheur 

C'est de s'attendre à un trop grand bonheur.
Si demain je meurs sans honneur, 

C'est que tous ces rêves n'étaient qu'un leurre."

(no english translation for those lyrics)

My Girl

Ma chanson préférée depuis... toujours! * My favorite song since... forever!
The Temptations - My Girl. 1965




"I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl.

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl.
Talkin' 'bout my girl.

I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame.
I've got all the riches, baby,
One man can claim.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl.
Talkin' 'bout my girl.

Talkin' bout my girl.
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.
I've even got the month of May
With my girl..."

OutKast


Retour sur le duo dont on entend plus trop parler, mais depuis une semaine je réécoute leur discographie et je me suis dit : "C'est quand même du pur son!" Aller, on retrouver ses vieux albums, ça fait toujours plaisir.

Si vous n'avez pas eu l'occaz de le voir en live, il sera au festival Rock En Seine à Paris (Saint-Cloud, 9-2) le 26 Août. Ainsi que Kid Cudi et Yuksek pour info.




Everybody had more or less a crush on Paul Kalkbrenner 2 years ago. This producer and DJ coming from Leipzig is still making us high on his minimal techno tunes. His new album was just released, called "Icke Wieder", go check this out! 

If you haven't see him on live yet; he will be at the Rock En Seine festival, taking place in Paris (Saint-Cloud, 9-2) on August 26. Kid Cudi and Yuksek will also be there.

We run this Motha!

Certains aiment, certains sont sceptiques à ce style musical, très inhabituel pour notre chère Queen-B.J'ai trouvé ça plutôt cool, entraînant et surtout, Beyoncé clame le pouvoir aux chicks! Pour une fois qu'une diva ne se prostitue pas dans ses paroles! Par contre le clip c'est autre chose.

Some of us love, some of us are skeptical confronting this unusual musical style for dear Queen-B. I thought it was kinda cool, energetic and the best, Beyoncé claims chicks' power! For once that a diva does not prostitute herself in her lyrics! The video clip is another story though.
