Notes de Monmix Tiokik avait le texte mais pas la mélodie mais il voulait du jovial et entrainant. Monmix a proposé cette approche un peu upbeat et country avec plein de clins d'oeil western comme harmonica , banjo, guitares. Des couplets volontairement chantés différement à la fois pour créer l'intéret et pour se caler sur un nombre de syllabes variable du texte original
Paroles
The year is 1307
His name is William
And he shot one single bolt from his crossbow
To his son's head
He defied the officer
He defied the empire
He defied the Gods
he defied the Sky
but the real hero was forgotten
not written down in the play
too insignificant
not even a second role
what happened to the apple?
a Granny Smith
did it stay stuck on the tree?
did his son eat it?
The year is 1687
and his name is Isaac
and, while drinking tea, he saw an apple
fall from the tree
he defied gravity
he defied the Earth
he defied the Gods
he defied the Sky
but there is a real hero
that we all forgot
who disappeared
from the school book
too insignificant
not even a second role
what happen to the apple?
did Newton eat it?
did he throw it away?
did he keep it in a can?
The year is the time of Olympus
His name is Heracles
And he had a lot of work to do
and the 11th was to steal from a garden
he defied the Kings
He defied the Earth
he defied the Gods
he defied the Sky
but the real hero was not recorded
hidden from the stories
it disappeared from all the poems
too insignificant
not even a second role
what happened to the apples
all golden and shiny
did Atlas eat the apples?
who got them at the end of the day?
The year is before the years
His name is Adam
and hers is Eve
they talk to a snake by a forbidden tree
they defied the law
they defied the Earth
they defied the Gods
they defied the Sky
but the real hero is not named
we all forgot
it vanished from the sacred book
too insignificant
not even a second role
what happened to the apple?
did they finished it?
did they take it with them?
did God took a bite?
I want a bite!
