Vidéo : Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth – Remember We Were Lovers

Bobby Gillespie revient à ses premières amours avec Jehnny Beth quand lors de doux mardi le soleil brillait pour [lui] au sommet de la pop. Le temps est passé alors il reste les souvenirs, quand on s’aimait.

Jehnny & Bobby. Bobby & Jehnny. Ce duo s’est-il noué sur le plateau d’Echoes, l’émission d’Arte présentée par Jehnny Beth l’année dernière ? Ce qui est sûr c’est que la rencontre s’avère fructueuse avec ce titre langoureux et tendre peut être en écho au I’m Losing More Than I’ll Ever Have de 1987.
Where did we go wrong ? Tell myself I can’t live without you Am I really not that strong ? Am I a fool to still want you ? Il en faut du temps pour répondre à ce questionnement intime et ravageur, sortir de l’obscurité et voir la lumière briller à nouveau.

Bobby Gillespie & Jehnny Beth – Remember We Were Lovers

Remember we were lovers ?
It seems so long ago
Now love is just a memory
Old photographs will show

You never want to hold me
Or kiss me anymore
We may sleep together
But really we’re alone

Do you stand like this
‘Cos you too have been placed
At the edge of a cliff ?
You saw the risk that you should take
But never did
Or do you stand like this
Cos life washed you out
And left nothing
But madness in your eyes
Madness in your eyes ?

Feeling like I’ve lost you
Where did we go wrong ?
Tell myself I can’t live without you
Am I really not that strong ?

Am I a fool to still want you ?
After all that we’ve been through
We’re martyrs in a marriage
In a war we’re gonna lose

Do you stand like this
‘Cos you too have been placed
At the edge of a cliff ?
You saw the risk that you should take
But never did
Or do you stand like this
Cos life washed you out
And left nothing
But madness in your eyes
Madness in your eyes ?

We’re stupid and ungrateful
We’ll never ever learn
We abuse this gift we’re given
Again and again and again and again…

Remember we were lovers ?
Remember we were lovers ?
Remember we were lovers ?
Remember we were lovers ?
