Jamie xx dévoile un cinquième extrait de “The Waves”,en featuring avec Kelsey Lu, John Glacier et Panda Bear. Voici le très très bon “Dafodil”.
Alors si tu cherches sur google. Le Dafodil est un outil numérique développé par la Direction Générale des Finances Publiques (DGFiP) en France. Son nom est l’acronyme de “Dématérialisation des Fichiers d’Intérêts Locaux“. Mais comme tu t’en doutes, c’est pas ça même si ça serait très drôle. “Daffodil” en anglais désigne la jonquille, une fleur de couleur jaune vif, qui est souvent associée au printemps. Ca me parait une meilleure traduction.
Le single est moins dansant que les précédents singles. Il est plus doux, utilisant le sample du titre “Touching You” de la Brésilienne Astrud Gilberto. Là-dessus s’ajoute les voix de Kelsey Lu, John Glacier et Panda Bear. J’aime beaucoup la composition, c’est toujours bien fait. En même temps, avec Jamie XX, on ne s’attendait pas à moins.
Les Lyrics de Dafodil :
It all started one summer night in London
Just a kiss
Couple years back
It was crazy
It was with a beautiful female
All I remember is
Lovely sweetness that filled the air
Came from a daffodil in your hair
I placed it there (I placed it there)
Lovely sweetness that filled the air
Came from a daffodil in your hair
I placed it–
My heart blossomed with a look
Deep into each other’s eyes
Something was brewing and I was ready to fly
I never thought about it twice
I said
“Let’s go dance”
I was ready, I was, I was ready to fly
Lovely sweetness that filled the air
Came from a daffodil in your hair
I placed it there
The next thing I knew, we–
We were in the dance floor
Floating in clouds of ecstasy
I felt you, and you felt me
Everyone feeling so good
So good
Sweat is rolling (Just us two)
Into the morning (Under sky so blue)
And the lovely sweetness that filled the air
(Till the sun comes up)
Came from a daffodil in my hair
(Till the sun goes down)
You placed it there
(Summer London Town)
Drinks on me
Literally
Feel like a mess
Feels like a dream
Lost in the beat
Lost in the wave
Step to the streets
Two-step ‘fore we leave
Plant a kiss on me
Stuck in trance
Days in the park ‘fore I went to the dance
Primrose Hill
Pretty daffodils
Pretty daffodils
Pretty daffodils
Lost
Just thinking of someone
Think they met
At a party
There’s someone for everyone
Sometimes it feels could be anyone
So place it there
I’ll never forget that night
Too sweet to let go
A flower to the nose
And I woke up the next day and I said
“Yo, I know what the answer to life is”
And I said
“It’s to love each other”
He was like
“Word”
