La pépite du jour c’est Annabel (lee) et Paris, Room 14

Découvrons l’intrigante et la mystérieuse Chambre 14 parisienne d’Annabel (lee).

Annabel (lee) c’est le dernier poème d’Edgar allan poe mais c’est également plusieurs groupes de zic du même nom. Celui qui nous concerne aujourd’hui est un duo, Richard et Sheila Ellis. Il fabrique ensemble un mélange alchimique entre bossa nova, jazz et soul.

La voix de Sheila a un charme surannée magnifiquement accompagné par la guitar de richard. Mais la ou le groupe aurait pu s’en contenter, ils ont plutot choisi de jouer avec les réverbérations et les échos. Cela fabrique une atmosphère onirique, un peu comme si on plongeait dans un livre. Cela me fait ainsi penser à cette suite de livre de Jasper Fforde qui explore le monde des livres.

C’est donc extrait de l’album  The Cleansing sorti le 22 septembre dernier.

If
Annabel (lee)

I had the chance to make a wish, wonder would I
keep my hopes up high for the things I hold so dearly?
If I had the chance to chase a dream, wonder would I
travel to the sky, would the clouds appear so clearly?

But like a child, I too, can dream
milk-white clouds, the kind that fold you in
keep you warm when the rain begins
Before the storm feeds the stream
never doubt the rushing wind
It blows and brings back love again

If I had a crystal ball to tell my future, wonder would I
count on faith to trust completely or would superstition lead the way?
If I had to fall, wonder would I
let you tumble with me, would you care for scratches along the way?

But like a child, I too, can dream
milk-white clouds, the kind that fold you in
keep you warm when the rain begins
Before the storm feeds the stream
never doubt the rushing wind
It blows and brings back love again

After the rain, I wish I could explain
the calm, serenity, the pain becomes a distant memory
Regain the paradise we crave

After the rain, I wish I could explain
the calm, serenity, the pain becomes a distant memory
Regain the paradise, we’re saved

If I had to answer questions like do I love you, wonder could I
count on you to meet me halfway, down the road to Revelation?
If we came across a warning sign, wonder would you and I
disregard and carry on our way, walk on air to our destination?

But like children, we two can dream
Milk-white clouds, the kind that fold you in
keep you warm when the rain begins
In our castle I’ll be your queen
Never doubt the rushing wind, it blows and brings back love again

After the rain, I wish I could explain
the calm, serenity, the pain becomes a distant memory
Regain the paradise we crave

After the rain, I wish I could explain
the calm, serenity, the pain becomes a distant memory
Regain the paradise, we’re saved….
