Le duo explosif Bob Vylan frappe encore avec une nouvelle version de leur titre “Dream Big”, sorti tout droit de leur album Humble as the Sun de 2024.
Bob Vylan et Amy Taylor, à trois, on rêve plus grand
Cette fois, ils ont décidé de voir les choses en plus grand (littéralement) en le renommant “Dream Bigger” et en embarquant Amy Taylor, la furie en chef d’Amyl and the Sniffers. Une collab ? Non, une collision frontale entre deux énergies brutes, du punk qui envoie du bois level ligue des champions et qui fait bouger la tête.
Amy Taylor, fidèle à elle-même, débarque dans le morceau comme une tornade. Sa voix, c’est une claque qui vous réveille, une pure décharge d’énergie qui sublime ce mix punk-jungle.
« J’ai balancé l’idée à Amy comme ça, l’air de rien, et pendant un jour off sur sa tournée avec les Sniffers, on s’est posés en studio pour bricoler cette version alternative de ‘Dream Big’ », racontent Bob Vylan, avec l’air tranquille de ceux qui viennent de pondre une pépite. « Franchement, qui mieux qu’Amy, cette Australienne devenue une putain de star du rock mondial, pouvait parler de rêver en grand avec autant de poids ? »
lyrics :
Last time I checked I was getting the dough
‘Cause I’m a girl in the know, yeah I’m a girl on the go
I’m a cat on the plane, I’m the cat with the plan
And you’re a guy on his phone with his dick in his hand
Little by little I was chipping away
And I wasn’t a pro on the very first day
It doesn’t matter, kept cracking along
And what started as a whistle ended up as a song *whistle*
I once had a big dream like Bob
Said I don’t wanna work no job
I wanna get rich and shake my arse
And now I travel round the world in economy class
From the cot to the casket, I’m the girl with the basket
And I got more than eggs, hey cut me that check
You’ve been running your mouth while I’m running me legs
And I’ve been chasing my dreams and I’m screaming to flex
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Show them, say your culture is your root
And don’t shun the talent of the children
Warm souls occupy a cold trap
Sold this and you know I sold that
Did it all and I won’t go back
Nah I been there, yeah I done that
Ooh, big dreams sat swelling in my headtop
Said if I can make it from the pebbles to the [?]
I could be a kingpin, I could run the best block
Now I run punk rock, got it in a headlock
Who did it? (Me!) Bobby did it (Yeah I did)
I kept going, kept dreaming. Now I live it (Here I am)
Told me that it wouldn’t ever work without a budget
But I did it independent, now the labels’ looking livid
Ooh, tell ’em kiss it, ooh tell ’em kiss it
I took apart the scene, I didn’t like the way they rigged it
On the move again yeah, since a kid I was a fidget
When I was up the wall, moving bad and moving wicked
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Chasing my dreams, baby watch me flex
I’ve been chasing my dreams, baby watch me flex
I’ve been chasing my dreams, baby watch me flex
I’ve been chasing my dreams, I’ve been chasing, I’ve been chasing, I’ve been chasing
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
Dream big, kid. Kid, dream big (Dream big)
