José González en feu

What would you say If you had to leave today ? Pourtant c’est un retour d’une violente et flamboyante douceur que fait José González avec ce nouveau disque et particulièrement ce Line of fire nu entre chien et loup emprunté au répertoire de Junip. Dans la version originale, on est emporté par cette montée en puissance lyrique de la mélodie portée par la guitare. Ici, on est plus à l’os, à suivre cette ligne de vie particulière qu’a emprunté José avec sa famille argentine, exilés en Suède dans les années 70. What you choose to believe in dictates your rise or your fall souffle t-il en majesté.

José González – Line of Fire

What would you do
If it all came back to you ?
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning

What would you say
If you had to leave today?
Leave everything behind
Even though for once, you’re shining

Standing on higher ground
When you hear the sounds
You realize it’s just the wind
And you notice it matters
who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire ?
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires

Convince yourself
to be someone else
And hide from the world
Your lack of confidence

What you choose to believe in
dictates your rise or your fall

With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you’re backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire
