Amour, tensions et vibes rock
Après trois ans de silence, HAIM revient avec Relationships, un single qui sent bon les montagnes russes émotionnelles et les back vocals bien cool. Produit par Danielle Haim et Rostam Batmanglij, le morceau explore les joies et les galères des relations amoureuses, sans filtre ni fioritures mais avec quelques notes de groove.
Le clip ? Un trip esthétique où Drew Starkey joue le mec un peu paumé face aux sœurs Haim, dans une mise en scène millimétrée signée Camille Summers-Valli. Et histoire d’appuyer le propos, la pochette du single rend hommage à Nicole Kidman au moment où elle a claqué la porte au nez de Tom Cruise. Un grand moment de « libération ».
Ce titre marque le début d’un nouveau chapitre pour le trio, qui tease un album plus rock. Alana Haim le décrit comme « le son qu’on voulait depuis le début ». Si c’est le cas, on est prêts à s’y jeter la tête la première.
Lyrics:
Wasting time driving through the Eastside
Doing my thing cause I can’t decide if we’re through
Well are we?
And if we are
What we gonna do?
Relationships
What’s all this talk about relationships?
It feels like everyone’s caught up in it
Oh just you wait you must be new to this
You got a look on your face like you’re caught in a lie
I got you all to myself but I keep asking why
In this relationship
Baby how can I explain
When an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days
Fucking relationships
Don’t they end up all the same
When there’s no one left to blame?
I think I’m in love but I can’t stand
Fucking relationships
Why do I have a guilty conscience?
I’ve always been averse to conflict
But you really fucked with my confidence
You gotta tell me the truth if you don’t want to try
I hear a voice in my head and it keeps asking
Why am I in this relationship?
Baby how can I explain
When an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days
Fucking relationships
Don’t they end up all the same
When there’s no one left to blame?
I think I’m in love but I can’t stand
Fucking relationships
How did we get ourselves into this?
Oh this can’t just be the way it is
Or is it just the shit our parents did
And had to live with it
In their relationship?
Fucking relationships
Baby how can I explain
When an innocent mistake
Turns into seventeen days
Fucking relationships
Don’t they end up all the same
When there’s no one left to blame?
I think I’m in love but I can’t stand
Communicating it
Let me tell you how it ends
When we can’t even pretend
Feels like we’re not even friends
In this relationship
But I would do it all again
If you put down your defenses
I think I’m in love so why am I trying to
Escape from it?
Maybe that’s just how it goes
When you’re not fully grown
But baby when you know you know
Fucking relationships
So don’t let it bring you down
Cause it all comes back around
I think I’m in love but I can’t stand
Fucking relationships
