Vidéo : Amelie McCandless – Skipping Stones

To forget the dreams I had about you. Amelie McCandless rêve peut-être d’Alaska ou de Californie du nord, patrie d’Alela Diane dont elle partage le timbre de voix. Mais avec Skipping Stones, c’est une maison hantée par des ombres qu’elle nous fait visiter pour mieux effacer certains souvenirs même si « le bonheur n’est réel que lorsqu’il est partagé ».

Amelie McCandless – Skipping Stones

Here is an old wooden lodge
At the heart of a deep dark forest
Full of tears I’ve cried for you my love
Full of dreams I’ve had about you my love

Taking this track for one last time
I won’t come back, not again
With one’s arms folded I go barefoot my love
To forget the dreams I had about you my love

​When I go for a walk beside the lake
The skipping stones I make sound like hearts beating
Faster and stronger; like hearts beating
When you come next
All the things I’ve built for you
All the things you meant for me
All the things I did for you
Lost in dark blue

​I feel so scared without you
You were the only one who knew
In my glass I can see you
You’re fading, moving away

My memories are going in the air
I dry my tears and start smiling
One last skipping stone
One last skipping stone to say goodbye
And start forgetting my past

When I go for a walk beside the lake
The skipping stones I make sound like hearts beating
Faster and stronger; like hearts beating
When you come next
All the things I’ve built for you
All the things you meant for me
All the things I did for you
Lost in dark blue

​Here was an old wooden lodge
At the heart of a deep dark forest
Full of tears I forgot, my friend
Full of dreams I lost, my friend…
