Vidéo : John Canning Yates – Until You Find Me

Se souvenir des belles choses. Avec Until You Find Me, John Canning Yates évoque sa visite dans la maison du couple Hardmans au 59 Rodney Street, Liverpool, Merseyside. Margaret et Edward se spécialiseront dans les portraits des habitants de Liverpool, dans les paysages de leur ville et de la campagne environnante et leurs photos symboliseront les temps bénis du commerce florissant de l’estuaire de la Mersey. And it makes me feel alive. John Canning Yates pose un regard délicat sur ce passé (il a réalisé lui même la vidéo) et chante d’une voix caressante sur un lit de clarinette les ombres, les impressions et finalement la mémoire.

Until You Find Me est extrait de The Quiet Portraits de John Canning Yates disponible chez Violette Records.

John Canning Yates – Until You Find Me (Song For Margaret Hardman)

Most of my childish dreams were of…
were all of landscapes.
Or some remote or abandoned lake
Which I could never find again
I loved you, you loved me
And we breezed through life
We were as thick as thieves
With an inspired youth
And then inspired by you
I will leave these lasting images
And it makes me wanna die
It makes me feel alive
For what purpose, I don’t know
I’m mainly missing how we laughed,
surrounded by our photographs
And I will not change a single room
I’ll sit and play our favourite tunes
Until you find me
And as a boy, I was not supposed to tell you
You were the rock below, when all above stood fine
I was well, well respected.
Now with all I have
Let these images survive.
And it makes me wanna die
And it makes me feel alive
For what purpose, I don’t know
I’m mainly missing how we laughed,
surrounded by our photographs
And I will not change a single room
Repeat, replay our favourite tunes
Until you find me.
