Billie Eilish vient de sortir son troisième album sobrement baptisé “Hit Me Hard and Soft”. Normalement le single est « lunch » mais il ne me touche pas. J’ai donc préféré vous partager « L’amour de ma vie ». Surtout, comme elle a pas sortie de single, je pense qu’on peut choisir celui qu’on veut (et puis comme elle lira pas non plus). Bref
« L’AMOUR DE MA VIE », un titre en deux parties
La première partie est une chanson d’amour simple et douce comme le début d’une relation. On y entend quelques touches de bossa nova. Sauf que l’amour de vie est une chanson de rupture. On s’était promis de belles choses, mais maintenant, on se souhaite une belle vie.
La seconde partie n’a rien à voir. Elle est plus electro, plus dansante. C’est aussi tous les reproches que Billie fait à son ex.
La composition est donc étonnante. Deux titres en un, deux sentiments. C’est évidemment pas calibré pour la radio. J’aime bien
Paroles
I wish you the best for the rest of your life
Felt sorry for you when I looked in your eyes
But I need to confess, I told you a lie
I said you
You were the love of my life
The love of my life
Did I break your heart?
Did I waste your time?
I tried to be there for you
Then you tried to break mine
It isn’t asking for a lot for an apology
For making me feel like it’d kill you if I tried to leave
You said you’d never fall in love again because of me
Then you moved on immediately (bum, bum, bum)
But I wish you the best for the rest of your life
Felt sorry for you when I looked in your eyes
But I need to confess, I told you a lie (told you a lie)
When I said you (I said you)
You were the love of my life
The love of my life
So you found her, now go fall in love (go fall in love)
Just like we were if I ever was (if I ever was)
It’s not my fault, I did what I could (did what I could)
You made it so hard like I knew you would
Thought I was depressed or losing my mind
My stomach upset almost all of the time
But after I left, it was obvious why (oh), mm
Because for you, you
I was the love of your life, mm
But you were not mine (but you were not mine)
It isn’t asking for a lot for an apology
For making me feel like it’d kill you if I tried to leave
You said you’d never fall in love again because of me
Then you moved on, then you moved on
Then you moved on, then you moved on
Then you moved on, then you moved on
Ooh
You wanted to keep it
Like somethin’ you found
‘Til you didn’t need it
But you should’ve seen it
The way it went down
Wouldn’t believe it
Wanna know what I told her
With her hand on my shoulder?
You were so mediocre
And we’re so glad it’s over now
It’s over now
It’s over now
It’s over now
Camera
Caught on camera
The girls on camera
Your girl’s a fan of-
Miss me
Say you miss me
It’s such a pity
We’re both so pretty
