Bonjour,
cette année encore, ce calendrier de Lavans aura fait la jonction avec l'année nouvelle. Celle que l'on espère toujours plus belle...
L'espoir et les voeux ne coûtent pas chers.
Ce
qui coûte un peu, c'est le temps que l'on passe pour tâcher de les
réaliser, de faire sa part de colibri... Mais ça apporte beaucoup.
Pour cette première chanson de l'année, je 'envoie
une chanson de Tracy
Chapman, qui a accompagné mes années estudiantines. Sans que je ne
parvienne à me souvenir comment je l'ai découverte? Peut-être un CD
piqué dans la discographie de Dan et Guy, qui m'ont hébergés durant mes
premiers CDD
d'été au Progrès, en 1998?
Tracy Chapman, au répertoire contestataire
et engagé, au
style mêlant blues,
rock folk et soul,
s'inscrit dans la lignée de Bob Dylan et Joan Baez. Elle a chanté le
racisme, la pauvreté ou encore la condition féminine...
Elle
a participé au concert hommage pour les 70 ans de Nelson
Mandela à Wembley en 1988, aux côtés de Sting, George Michael, Joe Cocker, Youssou N'Dour
Dire Straits, Eric Clapton... Un rendez-vous qui a duré 11h, a été rediffusé dans 67 pays, devant une audience de 600 millions de personnes, contribuant à accélérer la
libération de Nelson Mandela.
Talking about a Revolution - Tracy Chapman
Don't you know
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don't you know
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs
Don't you know
You better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
You better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don't you know
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Je
te souhaite une année musicale, engagée, indignée, révoltée,
révolutionnaire, syndicale, environnementale, politique locale...
"Ne comptez pas les jours : faites que les jours comptent".
La bise.
