porcupine tree - The sound of muzak (In absentia, 2002). Extrait d'une émission non identifiée.

The Sound of Muzak

Un titre calibré à la demande de leur maison de disques pour bien vendre (effet à moitié raté, in absentia est leur album le mieux vendu, à peu près 200 000 exemplaires dans le monde). D'où sans doute :

Hear the sound of muzak
Drifting in the aisles
Elevator prozac
Stretching on for miles

The music of the future
Will not entertain
It's only meant to repress
And neutralise your brain

Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want

One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough

Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills

The music of rebellion
Makes you wanna rage
But it's made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age

Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want

One of the wonders of the world is going down
It's going down I know
It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough

Sepia.

no-man - Back when you were beautiful (Together we're stranger, 2003).

Dérive des sentiments.

porcupine tree - The start of something beautiful (Deadwing, 2005).


Always in my thoughts you are
Always in my dreams you are
I got your voice on tape
I got your spirit in a photograph
Always out of reach you are

Cold inside my arms you are
Simple like a child you are
I remember when you took my hand
And led me through the rain
Down inside my soul you are

The more I show the way I feel the less I find you give a damn
The more I get to know the less I find that I understand
Innocent, the time we spent, forgot to mention we're good friends
You thought it was the start of something beautiful? Well think again.

Mother lost her looks for you
Father never wanted you
I trust to love and then
I find you never really felt the same
There's something in your heart so cruel

Bonus : Blackfield - End of the world (Blackfield II, 2006).



End of the world est une reprise en anglais de la chanson la plus populaire en Israël d'Aviv Geffen, traduction par lui-même.

Don't you forget what I've told you
So many years
We are hopeless and slaves to our fears
We're an accident called human beings

Don't be angry for loving me baby
Don't say it's unreal
So many lies turned to songs
Like roses who are hiding their thorns

It's the end of the world
The end of the world
It's a prison for dreams and for hopes
And still we believe there is god
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
We're dead but pretend we're alive
Full of ignorance, fools in disguise

In your room doing nothing
But staring at flickering screens
Streets are empty but still you can hear
Joy of children turning into tears

Disease hides around every
Corner Quietly still
Wait for the moment to hit
We forgot what is touch, what to feel

It's the end of the world
The end of the world
It's a prison for dreams and for hopes
And still we believe there is god
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
We're dead but pretend we're alive
Full of ignorance, fools in disguise

Take this pill, it will make you feel dizzy
And then give you wings
Soon, boy, you'll fall into sleep
Without nightmares, without any fears

If you wake up in hell or in heaven
Tell the angels we're here
Waiting below for a dream
Here in the garden of sin.

It's the end of the world
The end of the world
It's a prison for dreams and for hopes
And still we believe there is god
It's the end of the world
The end of the world
We're dead but pretend we're alive
Full of ignorance, fools in disguise
