Vidéo : Maple Glider – Friend

La jeune australienne Tori Zietsch nous avait lacéré le cœur avec Good Thing extrait de son premier album au titre programmatique, Enjoy is The Only Thing. Avec Friend c’est un nouveau polaroid intime qu’elle dévoile avec beaucoup de sérénité. « Un véritable ami vous poignarde en face. » disait Oscar Wilde. Il y a assurément un paquet de faux amis.

Enjoy is The Only Thing de Maple Glider est disponible chez Partisan Records. Plus d’informations sur mapleglider.com

Maple Glider – Friend

You were so fast
To believe in me
We were young back then
Tangled in the stars
But time moves so fast
I’ve served coffee in five different cities now

I’m not good at faking
But I’m not good at speaking out
I am quickly blending into all of my fear and doubt

Friend, you were on both sides
Pulling me up and dragging me down (and I know, it took time for me to say)
Friend, you were on both sides
Pulling me up and dragging me down (and I know, it took time for me)

It was early days in the band
We were making tour plans
I pulled out my costume during practice in your shed
You said don’t wear that dress, we have to think about who we are now

Well I’m not good at faking
But it all changed in me somehow
I could not stop smiling as all the joy in me drained out

Friend, you were on both sides
Pulling me up and dragging me down (and I know, it took time for me to say)
Friend, you were on both sides
Pulling me up and dragging me down

There is a bridge between our birthdays at midnight
Somehow I can not bring myself to call
I was a terrible friend, I pushed you right to your end
You said your limit was drawn but I wanted more
I wanted more

Friend, I’ve been on both sides, pulling you up and tearing you down (and I know it took time for me to say)
Friend, I’ve been on both sides, pulling you up and tearing you down
I’ve been on both sides
Am I on both sides now ?
